PM to attend Sabah's Kaamatan Festival on May 30
KOTA KINABALU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to attend the 2025 Sabah Kaamatan Festival celebration on May 30.
This would be his third time attending the celebration held at the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association Hall in Penampang since he was elected as the 10th prime minister in 2022.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey G. Kitingan, who is also the main committee chairman for the state-level Kaamatan Festival 2025, said Anwar will officiate the festival on that day.
"The official closing ceremony of the Kaamatan Festival will be graced by Sabah Governor Tun Musa Aman, on May 31," he told the media after paying a courtesy call on Musa at Istana Seri Kinabalu here.
According to Jeffrey, the main events will include cultural performances, visits to traditional houses and the Unduk Ngadau pageant in the afternoon.
He added that the event will also welcome visitors from abroad, including Kalimantan, as well as invited ambassadors and investors.
"Kaamatan is an important platform to stimulate Sabah's economy. That's why the government has allocated significant funding to support a variety of activities, not only in Sabah but also in Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia.

Reforms slowed by lack of formal coalition agreement, say analysts
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim leads a unity government comprising Pakatan Harapan, Barisan Nasional, Gabungan Parti Sarawak, Gabungan Rakyat Sarawak and Warisan. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The unity government would have been better placed to advance its reform agenda had it sealed a formal coalition pact akin to a blueprint drawn up in Germany eight years ago, two analysts said. Earlier this month, Senator Fuziah Salleh acknowledged that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's government, cobbled together after the 15th general election (GE 15) in 2022 turned up a hung Parliament, lacked a clear framework to implement reforms effectively. Speaking on BBC's World Questions podcast, she said that in hindsight, a formal coalition agreement, like the one used by Germany's grand coalition, might have helped the government quicken delivery of reforms and position itself better on policies. In 2017, Germany faced a hung parliament after no party secured a simple majority in the Bundestag, the country's lower house, to form a government on its own. Political parties then took nearly five months to negotiate and agree on a blueprint listing policies, including on foreign affairs, media reforms, environmental protection and social welfare, to serve as a guide while in office. Universiti Malaya's Awang Azman Awang Pawi agreed with Fuziah's remarks, saying that there was 'merit' in her 'critique'. He said Germany's coalition-building process took nearly five months to complete but resulted in a comprehensive document spanning more than 170 pages. 'An approach like Germany's could have worked in Malaysia if political actors prioritised national reform over narrow party interests,' he said, adding that a longer negotiation process might have helped the unity government align on shared goals. International Islamic University Malaysia lecturer Syaza Syukri agreed, noting that the unity coalition came together without clear agreements on policies, which has slowed reform efforts. 'The current government came together for the sake of forming an administration without putting much thought into its framework and agreements, besides how to share the spoils of power,' she told FMT. 'Had we a clearer blueprint, maybe it could have empowered Anwar to do more. Now, it seems like there's a constant need for negotiations, which is impeding his reform agenda.' However, Azmi Hassan of Akademi Nusantara took a different view, saying that the perception that reforms and institutional changes promised by Anwar's Pakatan Harapan coalition have been slow was misplaced. He said the government's anti-corruption efforts were a 'strong start'. 'You have to start at the foundation to eradicate corruption, which has long plagued our civil institutions,' he said. Anwar was sworn in as the 10th prime minister on Nov 24, 2022, after a unity coalition was formed between PH, Barisan Nasional, Gabungan Parti Sarawak, Gabungan Rakyat Sarawak and Warisan. PH leaders have previously said they were not in a position to deliver on all their election pledges due to the constraints of governing within a broad-based unity government. Anwar, for his part, has consistently defended the pace of reforms of his administration, saying that meaningful change takes time and must be pursued with wisdom and broad political support. He also pointed to the reality that PH's 82 MPs do not even make up a simple majority in the 222-seat Dewan Rakyat. Nonetheless, he said, with the support of all its coalition partners, the government has been able to push through impactful national programmes. 'You can't take things for granted (in the unity government). The process of negotiation, discussion and engagement is important,' said Anwar.

Postpone expanded SST to January, urges ACCCIM
PETALING JAYA: The expanded Sales and Service Tax (SST) should be deferred to January next year, starting with 4% for the first two years, says the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM). 'This will allow more time for adequate preparation, which is crucial for ensuring better compliance and smooth implementation,' it said. In a statement yesterday, the association said: 'Our concern is that multiple cost increases are coinciding with a challenging global and domestic economic environment. 'This is exacerbated by the uncertainty surrounding trade tariffs policy and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, which together create significant economic headwinds. 'The effects of rising costs, which have been felt in 2025, are expected to persist or influence the business and economic landscape in 2026.' Earlier this month, the Finance Ministry said the expanded SST will begin on July 1 when a sales tax of 5% to 10% would be imposed on certain non-essential goods. The service tax will also be expanded to include some financial services such as fund management, investment and merchant banking, and trade financing. However, the government has also announced several revisions such as the exemption of SST on selected fruits, higher threshold for rental and leasing services, and an exemption on selected beauty services. ACCCIM said yesterday that it had written to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to suggest a postponement of the expanded SST. 'We also asked that taxable services threshold registration to be raised higher to RM3mil for rental or leasing services, and construction services, and the threshold of exemption from paying tax for SME tenants be raised higher to RM2mil in annual sales,' it said.

Kaamatan, Gawai festivals bolster Bornean unity
PENAMPANG: The Kaamatan and Gawai festivals are not mere celebrations of gratitude because they also serve as a platform to enhance the cultural bond between the people of Sabah and Sarawak, said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. He said that the close ties between the two states must be preserved, as they constitute the core of unity and harmony among the multiracial communities in East Malaysia. 'Sabah and Sarawak not only share borders but also a Bornean identity steeped in culture, customs, and traditions. We must enhance this bond for our progress and well-being,' he said in a speech at the Kaamatan-Gawai 2025 gala dinner here tonight. The speech was delivered on his behalf by Deputy Chief Minister II, Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam, who also serves as the Sabah Minister of Local Government and Housing. Hajiji said the state government welcomes close cooperation with the Sarawak government across various sectors, including the economy, education, investment, and cultural exchange, particularly involving the participation of the younger generation. He also emphasised that unity and tolerance among different races and religions are key strengths of the nation, qualities that are increasingly rare in many other countries today. 'Racial unity must be reinforced so that future generations understand that Malaysia is a nation for all its people, regardless of background,' he added.
