Stacy Anam and Hakim Ahmad meeting their fans at the cultural homes witjin the Kadazan Dusun Cultural Association's Hongkod Koisaan vicinity on Saturday (May 31).
KOTA KINABALU: Fans were excited to see Sabah homegrown singer Stacy Anam at the Kadazandusun Cultural Association's (KDCA) Hongkod Koisaan on the final day of the Kaamatan Festival on Saturday (May 31).

Excited cries of "Stacy!" filled the air, with many taking wefies with the Penampang-born star.
Stacy, who was with her husband, singer Akim Ahmad, was visibly moved by the warm reception and festive atmosphere.
"It has been so long since I celebrated Kaamatan.
"I went back to my kampung, which was alive with the Kaamatan spirit. It reminded me of who I am and where I come from," said the 34-year-old.
Dubbed as Malaysia's "dancing queen", Stacy said she was proud to be Sabahan and of Kadazan ethnicity.
"Our culture is incredibly rich and unique, something that cannot be described with words," she said.
Stacy's will be holding a much-anticipated concert at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) on June 21.
Akim shared his admiration for the vibrant cultural celebration.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for families to come together. It is not just limited to Sabahans. We saw Unduk Ngadau contestants from places like Johor, Klang Valley and other states," he said.
Kaamatan, Sabah's month-long harvest festival, celebrates unity, gratitude and heritage, and remains one of the most beloved events on the state's cultural calendar.

Getting crowned on the second try
KOTA KINABALU: Eight years ago, she walked away empty-handed. This year, she walked away with the crown. Atitih Yatih Robert of Tamparuli was crowned the 65th Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan at the Hongkod Koisaan on May 31, a traditional beauty pageant held in conjunction with the Kaamatan harvest festival. The 26-year-old emerged the winner among 51 finalists from across Sabah and beyond, including participants from the Klang Valley, Putrajaya and Johor. A graduate of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in Education (Bahasa Malaysia), Atitih is currently awaiting her teacher placement. She first entered the pageant in 2017 at age 18, representing Kota Marudu, where she placed in the top 15 and was named Miss Popular Unduk Ngadau Sabah – a victory that nevertheless sparked disappointment among fans. 'I know many were disappointed back then. They asked me to return and this time, I gave it my all,' Atitih said. After an eight-year hiatus to focus on her academic and career goals, she made a comeback with renewed purpose – this time representing Tamparuli, where she was crowned the district's Unduk Ngadau. Her maternal family traces its lineage back to Kampung Ruminding, Kiulu, in the Tuaran district, where her late grandmother Sungkim Elohoban once lived. Many of her relatives, including the current village chief, are still based there. Atitih's return to the stage wasn't easy. In the five months leading up to the pageant, she lost over 10kg by practising regular workouts and a strict diet. 'That was my biggest challenge,' she admitted. 'I used to weigh about 70kg. I loved sweets – especially chocolate – but I made the decision to commit,' she said, adding that she pushed through even though there were moments when she felt like fainting from hunger. 'It's not just about appearance. I wanted to show discipline and that I was serious.' She also worked on building her confidence and overcoming deep-seated shyness. Atitih has been active in traditional dance, singing, acting and poetry recitation throughout her university life. She also held leadership roles, including in the Sabah Student Association at UPM and Persatuan Siswazah Sabah di Semenanjung (G3S), where she promoted cultural pride among Sabahan youth. She wore a traditional dress from Tenghilan known as the Pinialap, making her the first contestant to ever showcase the design at the Unduk Ngadau stage – a nod to both her heritage and pride in her team. Atitih took home RM15,000 in cash, a tiara, a UNK2025 sash, a trophy, bouquet and other prizes including scholarships, skincare products, dental treatments, free hotel stays and airline tickets. Held annually as the highlight of the Kaamatan Festival, the Unduk Ngadau pageant is a cultural tradition cherished by the Kadazandusun Murut Rungus (KDMR) community – symbolising beauty, sacrifice and the legacy of Huminodun. This year also marked a turning point for the pageant with the introduction of e-Unduk, a digital scoring system developed by Sabahan IT expert Aedeshie Daisy Rayner. The organising committee described the system as an innovation that enhances the traditional scoring framework using scientific algorithms – a move they say will ensure greater fairness and credibility in the judging process. As the curtains closed on the final night, cheers erupted for the top seven finalists who stood tall on stage – each carrying the pride of their districts and the spirit of Kaamatan. Joining Atitih were Elka Alika Pijeh (Tambunan) as first runner-up and Celarin Jenny (Kiulu) as second runner-up. Rini Swanda Jukilin (Beluran), Steavaynie Ginadus (Beaufort), Jenylin Janis (Ranau) and Evanatie Sannie (Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu) were the other finalists.

Sabah steals her heart: Sandra Lim's Kaamatan journey beyond the spotlight
Published on: Sunday, June 01, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jun 01, 2025 By: Ricardo Unto Text Size: Lim (right) poses for a photo with the top three winners of this year's UNK, UNK 2024 Hyellene Danius (left), and popular singer Stacy Anam (second left) after the crowning ceremony. - Pic via social media PENAMPANG: When Miss Universe Malaysia 2024 Sandra Lim touched down in Sabah to join this year's Kaamatan festivities, few expected the reigning queen to blend so seamlessly into the cultural spirit of the harvest festival. But for the 25-year-old beauty queen and proud Malaysian, it was not just another appearance – it was a deeply personal journey of learning, connecting, and celebrating the richness of Sabah's indigenous heritage. Attending the State-level Kaamatan Festival from May 29 to 31, Lim made headlines not just for her title but for donning traditional outfits from various ethnic groups – Murut, Lundayeh and Kadazan Penampang – and even sporting the iconic 'sanggul gong' during the State Unduk Ngadau Kaamatan (UNK) finals, a hairstyle synonymous with the cultural pageant. 'It gives me so much joy and pride to wear these traditional garments, carrying the beautiful history of our people in Sabah,' she said, visibly moved in one of her Instagram posts. 'The efforts by the organisers to preserve and showcase these cultures are incredibly inspiring.' Lim's Kaamatan experience was not a mere photo opportunity. From cheering finalists at the Randawi Tavantang Kaamatan (RTK) male pageant to dancing with the crowd at the KDCA hall, she immersed herself in every beat, every bite, and every banner. 'The music, the dance, the food, the people – the experience of a lifetime. 'Thank you for welcoming me with such warmth and love. Makan-makan, menari bersama-sama (Having a meal and dance together), bringing me in like family,' she posted after her walkabout at the KDCA ground on May 30. Having competed on the world stage just months earlier in Mexico, where she placed in the Top 30 at Miss Universe 2024 – Malaysia's best result in over half a century – Lim found unexpected resonance in Sabah's homegrown pageantry scene. 'The whole vibe brought me back to my first international competition in Indonesia. Everyone was so packed and so passionate,' she recalled when met after the UNK 2025 crowning. Observing the Unduk Ngadau finalists, Lim shared how the magic of pageantry often shines brightest onstage. 'You only see the X-factor when they walk out – the way they carry themselves, talk, smile. "The winner (Tamparuli's Atitih Yati Robert) was my pick from the start,' she smiled, proving her eye for talent remains sharp. Lim, who holds a degree in mass communications and has a background in martial arts and modelling, is no stranger to hard work. Her recent success in Miss Universe 2024, where she dazzled judges with a wushu routine in a national costume inspired by Princess Walinong Sari, brought her international acclaim. Yet back home, it is her groundedness that endears her most. 'I think the whole of Malaysia should learn from Sabah. 'The passion here, the meaning behind every culture – that is something we should carry into our future," she said. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Not Bulgari: Meet the indie designer behind Zendaya's dazzling engagement ring
When Zendaya took to the Golden Globes carpet this year with a very large and very sparkly engagement ring, the internet was soon abuzz with questions over who had designed it. It wasn't Bulgari, the Italian jewellery house for whom Zendaya is a brand ambassador. Nor was it a big name brand owned by a luxury conglomerate. Instead, the ring, a 5.02-carat diamond in a slightly quirky Georgian-style setting, was the work of Jessica McCormack, a New Zealand-born designer who has become a go-to for cool 'day diamonds' by the likes of Dakota Johnson and Dua Lipa – and a growing fan base of wealthy women who don't believe their sparkles should languish in the safe. 'What's the point in that?' McCormack said last week from an armchair in her first store in the US, which opened recently on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. 'There's no joy if you can't see them and others can't enjoy them on you.' McCormack, who speaks with a friendly Kiwi twang, wore a fuzzy grey cardigan, old deck shoes, white socks with red hearts and diamonds. Lots of them, in fact, shimmering on her ears, neck and wrists as workers put the finishing touches on the wood-paneled beaux-arts town house designed by restoration architectural firm Johnston Cave Associates. Jessica McCormack had no formal design training prior to starting her brand. Photo: Instagram/Jessica McCormack 'My whole idea is of relaxed ease and fitting into your daily life,' she said. 'It's about functionality and fantasy, making jewels that are fun and cool but wearable and that just make you incredibly happy every time you look in the mirror.' Read more: Jewellery of English aristocracy and Hollywood royalty set for London exhibition McCormack had no formal design training. But her father, an art and antiques dealer, helped hone a magpie's eye for vintage treasures and craftsmanship. There followed a stint in Sotheby's fine jewellery department in London, where her appreciation for vintage pieces grew as she handled Russian crown jewels alongside Cartier and Lalique pieces from the 1920s. After some experimentation designing pieces in an antique-meets-modern aesthetic, she started her namesake brand in 2008, with debut pieces like her Wings of Desire earrings, a sweep of graduated diamonds that climb up the ear and caught the eye of Rihanna, who became one of her first customers. Other cult pieces, spotted on Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Adele, Meghan Markle, Victoria Beckham and Margot Robbie, include her Gypset earrings, little hoops with suspended Georgian-style button-back diamonds, sapphires, emeralds or rubies that are highly covetable (and widely imitated). Her Ball N Chain necklace can be layered with assorted diamond pendants in an array of cuts and prices. Some could come from McCormack's latest Fruit Salad collection – that is, peaches, pears, apples, cherries and lemons made out of intricately set pave gemstones and 18-karat gold. The pieces strike a balance between looking at home on the red carpet and being trendy, easy-breezy accessories to wear for drinks or on the school run (albeit for the rarefied few who wouldn't think twice about wearing a seven-carat rock with a T-shirt and jeans). 'The appeal of Jessica McCormack's pieces is their distinct unfussiness coupled with plenty of charm and fun,' said Daisy Shaw-Ellis, US Vogue 's jewellery director. 'She has modernised antique and vintage designs and pushed the boundaries with expected materials without losing their integrity.' A major weapon in McCormack's arsenal are her investors. Rachel Slack is of the Oppenheimer dynasty, and Michael Rosenfeld is a third-generation diamantaire. At the time when the ring made an appearance on Zendaya's finger, everyone was questioning who designed it. Photo: AFP Last year, Lingotto, an investment firm owned by the Agnelli family's holding company, Exor, also took a stake. They all hail from family businesses that understand the eccentricities and complexities of the long game in luxury jewellery, unlike many venture capitalists who often invest in brands to make a quick profit, only to be left sorely disappointed. Their steady backing has allowed McCormack to take some big risks. A five-story Mayfair town house opened in 2013 opposite the Connaught hotel on Carlos Place in London (and a new neighbor in Phoebe Philo is rumoured to be opening a flagship next door). Part retail store, part basement workshop where clients can watch craftspeople at work, the space features an ever-evolving rotation of books, art, furniture and curiosities that both shape and reflect McCormack's taste. It is a formula she looked to replicate when opening her New York store. Or, in her words, 'a homely place full of interesting bits and bobs and genres and styles that really make you think and drive home the personality of our brand'. Think multicoloured drink trays by Matilda Goad, Nina Campbell glassware, antique 19th-century Maori portraits, Christopher Moore wallpapers, Jilly Cooper novels, family photos, upholstered sofas by Robert Kime and artwork, including a giant Valerie Belin photograph that came from her own kitchen in London. Upstairs are vintage wooden boxes that McCormack likes to transform into jewellery cases, with secret embroidered compartments and personalised messages inside. Read more: Make the right choice – the right jewellery can elevate your entire look 'The vast majority of our sales are done in person,' said Leonie Brantberg, the company's CEO. 'As we establish ourselves in a new market, we feel it's critical to have our own spaces where we can express this DNA and build direct relationships with our clients.' The brand has quadrupled in size over the last four years, Brantberg said, with sales of US$50mil (approximately RM212mil) last year. Half of the clients are women buying for themselves. Given McCormack's extensive Hollywood clientele, she is now looking west and may open a store in Los Angeles next year. US customers, she said, tend to buy more and buy faster and now make up more than a third of sales. She wants to meet them where they are. 'Not going the wholesale route was a slower path, but it means I really understand who I am selling to,' McCormack said. 'And while we love our male customers, my business is incredibly female-driven, and I absolutely love that. It's not about your husband buying it for you.' – ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.
