Kitingan had announced that the Kadazandusun Murut College (Kolej KDM) would be
built in Kaingaran near here.
Pairin, who is also Sabah Deputy Chief Minister, said he had instructed the
Tambunan district officer to identify a suitable site for the college.
“I will personally follow on this to ensure the college becomes a reality,” he
said at the official opening of the Tambunan-level Kaamatan (harvest) festival
at Pisompuruan Square.
The college had been mooted by the Persatuan Kebajikan dan Pendidikan
Kadazandusun dan Murut (Pekadin), a non-governmental organisation that champions
welfare and educational causes of the Kadazandusun and Murut (KDM) communities
of Sabah.
The move has also received the support of other KDM leaders including United
Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) head Tan Sri Bernard Dompok
and Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) president Tan Sri Joseph Kurup. – Bernama.
Back in the 1960s, the KadazanDusun made up 40 per cent of the total population of Sabah, but now they only make up 18 per cent and the Murut only three per cent of the State’s population of more than three million.
