Overall, this community protocol illustrates the strength and resolve of
Sabah's Indigenous peoples and the importance of supporting them to
share in their own voices their plans, priorities and visions for the future.
Through the participation of community representatives in meetings of the
Native Laws, Materials and Cases Committee, we have heard their story
personally and commend them for their efforts. They are leaders not just
within their communities but also in Sabah and Malaysia as a whole. We
acknowledge and applaud this community and others in Sabah who have
taken the time and care to document their adat and protocols. They are a
source of pride and strength for our people and we encourage all fellow
Sabahans and Malaysians to join us in supporting them.
