Hi readers,
Can you imagine
a world where we all start to look similar or sound the same as we lose our
roots, language, connection to the past and the land? Or where we have nowhere
to go to escape the cities and towns, no space to breathe, wander and wonder. The
diversity of societies, cultures and languages that have developed throughout
human history is an expression of life’s evolutionary potential. Differences
in culture, in other words, cultural diversity and biodiversity are intimately
related to each other. It makes sense if you think about it. Humans have
adapted to life according to the particular environment they found themselves
in. At the same time, they had to draw upon those resources to sustain
themselves - whether that was in icy tundra or tropical forests. This knowledge
was passed from generation to generations via language and practical teachings.
It has shaped ways of life and world views, and served material as well as psychological
and spiritual needs. It has also led to the development of a strong ‘sense of
place’.
Sabah Heritage
Association KL & Selangor or Warisan Sabah is an association with the aim
to organize events and workshops to promote, enhances knowledge and conserve Sabah arts, culture, heritage and
resources. The Association also work hand-in-hand and take advices from associated
partners (Guru) - Sarawak Heritage Association KL & Selangor to achieve its objectives. Warisan Sabah also
is an association concerned with the biodiversity and relationships in nature
and among cultures. It provides a good platform to engage the spirit of unity
among participated members for greater public understanding and appreciation of
the world in which we live in. The essence of unity, arts and culture are
inseparable elements, linked to each other to serve a diverse public of varied
ages, backgrounds and knowledge. The mixed communities in Sabah has made it
possible for this Association to enjoy a captivating array of culture and art
that is both unique and exquisite. The richness of the culture and art in Sabah
is expressed in the differences between the traditional attire, dance, music and
handicraft of the various ethnic communities. Each of these differences clearly
reflects the identity of each racial group.
This page serves as a dynamic information portal for the
public to learn about the organization and get current updates for activities
and upcoming events. It is the interactive complement to the Official Facebook Page.
