KOTA KINABALU: Chairman of Tombonuo Association Kota Kinabalu, Marius @ Kogos Samain, has called for a national conference to discuss and adopt a a resolution to make “Momogun” the new collective identity of the dusunic murutic and paitanic tribal community in Sabah.
Kogos said the Paitanic tribal community in Sugut Beluran has no problem in accepting Momogun as they are integrated with the dusunic tribal communitly who are closely related to them in terms of geography, culture, language and history.
Kogos said he therefore fully support the speech by UPKO President, Datuk Ewon Benedick, during the recent sitting of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly, calling for the inclusion of “Momogun” in government official forms.
Kogos expressed hope all cultural or ethnic associations representing the dusunic murutic and paitanic tribal groups support the vision of a common collective identity to enable them to be included in government official form and the national data system.
