About the Book

This book dwells on the clash of culture and traditions among the people. It also focus on acceptance and forgiveness. Sabah, North Borneo, also known as Land Below the Wind, is the epitome of ethnic and national unity. Intermarriages are very common. However, there are people still seeped in culture and traditions. That, at times, makes it difficult for them to accept others from outside their ethnic group. These stories are folklores of the people; the tales may vary from one district to another. While telling the story, the author hopes to accord readers a glimpse of the people’s way of life.
