PENAMPANG, Feb. 9 -- The intention of the leaders of Pakatan Harapan, including Datuk Ewon Benedict, Datuk Ginger Phoong, Jannie Lasimbang and members of the public who went to the Keningau Oath Stone on 25th January was purely to pay respects and to honour the Oath Stone that they hold sacred and with very high regard.

"If anyone, especially the bobohizan as spiritual leaders and the Ketua Adat, consider our action of honouring the Oath Stone as not in harmony with the adat, then we sincerely apologize," said Jannie.

The Kepayan assemblyman remains committed to what the Oath Stone represents, and will continue to assist the orang asal to secure their rights to their lands and to gain respect for their adat and dignity.
