He said Antanom was not only a symbol of Murut bravery but also a true fighter who defended the rights of all people regardless of ethnicity. Advertisement 'His struggle was not based on tribal sentiment but on protecting the rights and dignity of all communities of his time,' Hajiji said in a speech read by Deputy Chief Minister cum Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam at the 19th Kalimaran Festival in Kemabong on Saturday. Hajiji said Antanom's spirit showed the value of the homeland and the people's self-worth, which must be preserved by all Sabahans. While born a Murut warrior, he said Antanom's fighting spirit and sacrifices belonged to every citizen, and Tenom's continued growth as a multi-ethnic district depended on harmony and political stability. He stressed that political stability was vital for implementing development policies under the Sabah Maju Jaya roadmap, while cultural heritage must be preserved with active youth participation to ensure traditions and values are passed down.
