Accepted Answer

Warisan President Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal rejected interpretations of his presence at the Keningau District-level Kaamatan Festival 2026 as anything other than a sign of respect for the state's multi-ethnic community. He clarified that his attendance was at the invitation of his long-time friend, Star Sabah President Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, and should not be viewed outside of that specific context.
