“Sabah is a vibrant melting
pot of cultures”
Sabah Chief Minister Musa
Aman has taken offence at an article in an opposition blog that insults the
Sumazau, a bird-like dance of the state’s indigenous Kadazandusuns and Muruts
to celebrate a rice harvest.
“The Sabah state government
will not tolerate insults to cultural heritage,” he said in a statement through
his press office today.
He was responding to an
uproar over a Monday article written in Malay titled “Sumazau dance for people
with low morals” published on Suara Pakatan Rakyat, a pro-opposition party
blog. The post has since been removed and the Parti Keadilan Rakyat has denied
any link to it.
“I join the outrage voiced
by the people of Sabah against any slurs to our culture by irresponsible
parties with selfish or malicious agendas,” he said. “We will not tolerate such
disrespect for our cultural values. Those who have no respect for our cultural
values are not welcome here.”
Musa said Sabahans are proud
of their cultural diversity. There are 32 ethnic groups, including Bajaus,
Suluks, Chinese and Indians, in the state which he said is “a vibrant melting
pot of cultures.”
“Many families, including
mine, have members that are of a different race and religion,” he said. “We are
one big family in Sabah.” (Insight Sabah)
Tindakkan pemilik blog PAKATAN RAKYAT yang menghina tarian budaya Sabah ini mendapat tentangan daripada penduduk Sabah.
ReplyDeletePemilik blog tersebut haruslah tampil dan datang untuk meminta maaf atas tindakkan memburukkan tarikan Sumazau Sabah ini. Tidak patut menghina tarian orang lain walaubagaimana pun tarian tersebut. Itu budaya mereka jadi mereka tahu apa yang terbaik.
ReplyDeletesebenarnya, mereka yang menghina budaya dan tradisi orang lainlah yang rendah akhlaknya.
ReplyDeletepenulis blog ini wajar dikenakan tindakan atas sebab cubaan untuk memecahbelahkan perpaduan dengan cara menghina.
ReplyDelete“The Sabah state government will not tolerate insults to cultural heritage,”
ReplyDeleteharap kerajaan akan mengambil tindakan tegas terhadap mereka yang menghina tarian tradisional ini
“Sumazau dance for people with low morals”
ReplyDelete---> yang sepatutnya digelar bermoral rendah ialah orang yang menghina tarian ini
sebelum menghina, biarlah selidik dahulu asal-usul tarian tersebut...
ReplyDeletejanganlah cakap sesuka hati sahaja
ReplyDelete“We will not tolerate such disrespect for our cultural values. Those who have no respect for our cultural values are not welcome here.” -- well said!
ReplyDeletekita haruslah saling menghormati.
ReplyDeletejgnlah menghina dan merendahkan orang lain.
ReplyDeleteMusa pun ada darah Dusun. Adakah penulis blog itu sengaja membangkitkan kemarahan KDM?
ReplyDeleterakyat sabah patut buka mata dan lihat wajah sebenar Pakatan Rakyat..
ReplyDeletesebelum ini pemimpin PAS sendiri menghina kaum asli di sarawak.. kini blogger mereka pula menghina kaum di sabah..
ReplyDeletejika pemimpin dan penyokong pakatan rakyat berani melakukan provokasi terhadap kerajaan, malah berani membuat ancaman bunuh kepada pemimpin kerajaan, tidak mustahil mereka juga berani melakukan penghinaan budaya seperti yang dilakukan oleh blogger suara pakatan rakyat..
