KOTA KINABALU: Victims of harassment in the Unduk Ngadau (Harvest Queen) cultural pageant are urged to be brave and come out so that justice can be served, says Unduk Ngadau Borderless Kaamatan organiser Joanna Kitingan.

She said the recent allegations raised by the contestant who said that she was molested by a politician who is a member of the organising committee came as a shock to many.

Kitingan said they empathise with the contestant, especially considering what she might have gone through and what she is going through at the moment. “We even organised a talk on sexual harassment via Zoom, ” Kitingan said, adding that the idea of women being out on stage paraded as objects, stared at, bullied or taken advantage of were not part of tradition.
