PENAMPANG: Little is known about the first batch of Kadazans and other indigenous people who joined the rebranded Malaysian armed forces. The late Captain Boniface Jingulam, a Kadazan from Penampang, was one of them. He joined the army in 1964, a year after Malaysia was formed. His widow, Hilda Bisol, 78, recalls the sacrifice of Boniface, who passed on in August 2017. Advertisement Her journey was marked by resilience and strength, qualities that she believes many women like her carry. Not to mention, the often-overlooked emotional struggles faced by military spouses. Particularly the anxiety and fear that accompany the long periods of separation during their husband's deployments. Like the agonising wait for his return from perilous missions in the jungles. Capt Jingulam served from 1964 to 1977. One of the most harrowing moments was in 1975, during a fierce conflict when troops fought communist insurgents, resulting in the deaths of 11 high-ranking officers.

Kota Kinabalu: Local entrepreneurs from Sabah are being encouraged to promote their homemade products abroad, particularly in China, where opportunities continue to grow across halal and non-halal sectors. With a Muslim population of over 30 million in a nation of over 2 billion, the Chinese market holds promise for diverse offerings from Sabah. The call was made by Datuk Frankie Liew, President of the Sabah China Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), during the promotion of local products at DS Mart, a newly opened outlet in Kolombong targeting group tours and foreign visitors. 'This is a golden opportunity for Sabahans with quality products to reach a wider audience and improve their livelihoods. The demand in China is growing, and both Halal and non-Halal products can find their place in the market,' Liew said. Subscribe or LOG IN to access this article.
