The Sabahans Abroad in the United Kingdom (SAUK) group will help organize a Kaamatan celebration in Glasgow, Scotland on the 28th of May 2023. This will be the first time SAUK will be supporting and co-organizing a UK-based Kaamatan in Scotland. The organizer is a Sabahan, Farouq Omaro who is currently based in Glasgow.
The celebration has received the support of the Gibson Street-Otago Street-Westbank Quadrant (GOW) Community in Glasgow's West End. The one day event will also be graced by Member of Parliament for Glasgow North, Mr. Patrick Grady of the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP).
According to Omaro, among the events which will be held are Kadazandusun-Murut karaoke singing competition, best traditional costume competition and some traditional games. There will also be sumazau dances and singing performed throughout. Plenty of traditional Sabahan dishes will also be served along with home-made rice wine.
The event is open to all members of the public by invitation. Unlike the Kaamatan celebrations organized by SAUK in previous years, the event this year will be held outdoors in the Westbank Quadrant Garden.
