Welfare group for the KDMs
 |
| KDCA |
I came across of an article from Daily Express today stated that a new form of KDCA will be launched soon. I was amazed with this new NGOs because of it vision and objective. The future form of KDCA call Pekadin will be helping and safeguarding the interests of the Kadazandusun Murut community regarding to welfare and education in Sabah. The forming of this NGOs is to complete the objective of KDCA headed by the deputy chief minister of Sabah, Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
Well from my point of view, if this two NGOs are not joining together to protect the right of the Kadazandusun Murut, this new NGOs will not achieve it target for the Kadazandusun Murut society. The Kadazan mostly live in Penampang, Putatan and Papar area while the Dusuns live in Kota Belud, Tuaran, Tamparuli, Kiulu, Ranau, Telupid, Beluran, Tambunan and Keningau. The Muruts live in Sipitang, Pensiangan, Tenom and Beauforts. What about the Rungus? They should not be forgeted by this organization. The KDCA and Pekadin should encourage the Rungus to form their own organization to protect their welfare and rights. Hopefully one of the Rungus will form their own organization in the future.

Kota Kinabalu: Newly-formed Sabah Kadazandusun Murut Welfare and Education Association (Pekadin) will be launched soon.
In announcing this, its advisor Latif Kandok said the association received its registration from the Registrar of Societies Malaysia (ROS).
"Our main objective is to help protect and safeguard the interests of the Kadazandusun Murut community with regard to the welfare and education in Sabah.
"We are now in the process of conducting membership drive and we plan to launch our association soon either here or in Kota Marudu," he said.
Pekadin is open to the Dusuns, Kadazans and Muruts or related ethnic groups in the state, said Latif, adding that the association was only meant to complement the efforts by the Kadazandusun Cultural Association (KDCA) led by Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
