Kaamatan festival boosts business for Sabah seamstress
Norhayati Ajirul has to extend her business hours during Kaamatan to cater to demand for her traditional clothing. (Bernama pic) KOTA KINABALU : Kaamatan, Sabah's biggest ethnic celebration held throughout this month, is a profitable season for local seamstress Norhayati Ajirul. Although her shop is modest in size, its reputation rests on the quality of her craftsmanship. Her neat stitching, precise tailoring, and intricate bead embroidery – showcased in her traditional attire from various Sabahan tribes – continue to draw customers eager for both ready-made and custom items. Norhayati, a Bajau from Kudat, said demand for traditional clothing spikes significantly during the festive season. She works alongside five employees to fulfil the flood of orders. 'Orders for traditional clothes come in all year round, but when Kaamatan arrives, they multiply. Alhamdulillah, even our ready-made clothes sell out. We have regular customers and even local wholesalers who rely on us,' the 52-year-old told Bernama. As such, Norhayati has to adjust her business hours during the festival month. 'Normally, we open from morning until evening. But during Kaamatan, we start as early as 7am and close at 9pm. 'A week or two before the height of Kaamatan, it's non-stop, with no time for breaks.' Her team can complete as many as five traditional outfits a day, each garment taking between two and five hours, depending on the complexity of the design. Prices for each outfit depend on the size and design, with children's traditional clothing selling at RM100 to RM150 apiece, and adult outfits from RM500 to over RM2,000. 'This brings me joy' Norhayati said her interest in the uniqueness of Sabah's ethnic traditional wear led her to venture into the trade. Before running her own tailoring business, she gained experience as a salesperson and seamstress at another tailor shop.

(Bernama pic) The mother of four picked up her skills independently without attending formal sewing courses. She also drew inspiration from local newspapers that featured pageant contestants showcasing traditional attire from their respective districts. 'There are various challenges in producing traditional clothes, especially with the embroidery and beadwork. You have to know the correct placement, how to assemble each district's attire, and understand the unique patterns. 'I sew every day, but I never feel tired or bored because this work brings me joy,' she said, adding that she hopes to expand her business in the future. Meanwhile, Norhayati's youngest child, Anisa Baqeera, plays an important role in modernising the business by promoting their traditional outfits on social media. 'We want to attract more customers, especially those of the young generation. Social media is the best way to do it,' the 22-year-old said. For customer Mohd Nazllie Zainul, a journalist, businesses involved in producing traditional clothing do more than just generate income for their proprietors. 'They play a crucial role in preserving and celebrating Sabah's ethnic arts and culture, while attracting the interest of both domestic and international tourists,' he said. Food trader Farradiah Awang Bahari, 44, shared that she purchased ethnic attire from the boutique for her son, who is celebrating Kaamatan at his school. 'I believe it's important to expose children to our culture from an early age, so they can experience and appreciate its beauty,' she said.

Over 6,000 came to Sabah during Kaamatan
Published on: Monday, June 02, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 02, 2025 By: Wu Vui Tek Text Size: Tiong and Haryanty (fourth left and right) together with the state tourism association chairmen celebrate the Kaamatan Festival at KKIA. Kota Kinabalu: Travellers trickled into the state's capital to take advantage of the long holidays in conjunction with the Kaamatan Festival celebration. Throughout the day, 27 flights arrived at Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA), bringing visitors from Seoul, Taipei, Singapore, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and destinations across Malaysia. 'These included an estimated 930 international and 4,933 domestic travellers, all of whom were welcomed with festive cheer and cultural experiences upon arrival,' said Tourism Malaysia Sabah Director Haryanty Abu Bakar at KKIA here. 'Malaysia celebrates the long weekend, starting with the festival of Kaamatan, Gawai, and also the birthday of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. 'We celebrate with the cultural diversity of Sabah, including the Magunatip dance performance and sampling of traditional cuisines for the guests,' said Haryanty. The arriving travellers were presented with goodie bags as part of the campaign to promote Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2026. Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, who was among those arriving, performed the beating of a gong and witnessed a symbolic winnowing of rice. The winnowing was performed by Haryanty, KKIA Senior Airport Manager Jefry Ramli, Sabah Tourism Board (STB) Marketing Manager Bobby Alex, MATTA Sabah Deputy Chairman Alex Chong, Malaysia Chinese Tourism Association (MCTA) Sabah Chairman Vincent Sia, MyBHA Sabah Chairman Harold Chung, and Sabah Tourist Association (STA) Chairman Melanie Chu. Similar activities were held during Chinese New Year and Hari Raya, which also coincided with long holidays and contributed to the increase in arrivals during the holiday season, said Haryanty. She said Tourism Malaysia is collaborating with STB and the Sabah Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Environment to encourage domestic tourism, not only focusing on Kota Kinabalu but also expanding to Kota Marudu, Kudat, and other attractive destinations. In addition, she said Sabah is also rich in cultural diversity, where festivals such as Kaamatan are also among the attractions to boost domestic tourism. She said the preparation for VMY 2026 is not only limited to physical tourism, but also on encouraging tourists to get to know the products and packages offered through online platforms. One of them is the cooperation between Tourism Malaysia and to offer special packages throughout the year to promote Malaysia digitally. The promotion campaign starts from April 2025 until February 2026 and will continue to enable tourists to access interesting packages via the digital platform, she said. According to statistics, she said the number of tourists will increase due to the rise in the number of flights. 'We hope that the number of international flights to Kota Kinabalu will increase,' she said. Malaysia's tourism sector continues to experience strong recovery and growth. In 2024, Malaysia welcomed 38 million international visitors – a 31.1 per cent increase from 2023 and 8.3 per cent above pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Visitor receipts also surged, generating RM106.78 billion, reflecting a substantial 43.7 per cent growth over 2023 and exceeding 2019 figures by 20 per cent. This positive trend has continued into early 2025, with the first four months recording 13.4 million visitor arrivals – a 21.0 per cent year-on-year increase. The top ten visitor-generating markets from January to April were Singapore, Indonesia, China, Thailand, India, Brunei, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, and the United Kingdom. * 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?
