SPECIAL EVENT

In my view, Sabah is a very unique state in Malaysia. This is because, in addition to celebrating festivals and Gawai Kaamatan, Sabah also celebrate other religions such as Chinese New Year, Diwali, Eid ul-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. This picture clearly shows the Sabah racial mix. The list below shows the festivals are celebrated in the state.

Pesta Kaamatan or Harvest Festival is a celebration of the famous rice in Sabah. Harvest Festival is usually celebrated on 30 and 31. Harvest festival is the highlight of the beauty pageant, dance traditions, and upucara summit conducted by Bobohizan "chief rabbis".

Aidil Adha is also celebrated by Muslims around the world. But this is very different celebration Eid ul Fitr as it is celebrated on 10,11,12 and 13 during Muharram. All these days known as Tasyrik day. The festival is very special because it is a day for Muslims to commemorate the sacrifice of Prophet Abraham story in fulfilling the commandment of God and his son Prophet Ismail asdalam patience fulfill the order of Allah.
