If I am not mistaken, I believe that I have read it somewhere that the harvest festival celebrated on 30th & 31st May every year has been officially recognised and named as "Tadau Kaamatan" some years back. Even the National Open House is called as "TADAU KAAMATAN NATIONAL OPEN HOUSE" organised by the Ministry of Culture, Arts & Heritage. No more mentioned as 'harvest festival' or 'pesta menuai' ...
but still I noticed it is still wrongly written in advertisements and newspapers!!! Even many products advertisement wrongly associate it with the Gawai celebration in Sarawak, as I noticed a lot of times the background photographs are of the Gawai celebration but the wordings is for the Kaamatan...
Read this article from Yahoo!! News Malaysia.. check para. 2 , line 8..
You will read this - TADAU KEAMATAN!!!!
FGS Bernama and the reporter.. get your facts right!!! such a shame to Bernama!!! Shame on you Reporter!! Ignorant creep!!
Hey... even if Kaamatan is not officially named that way... GO AND CHECK the correct word lah FGS!!!! Isn't BERNAMA suppose to be - Berita Nasional Malaysia?... and you are suppose to know this kind of thing? FGS!!! Mayne you have to check the correct words to use with our Minister.
(I can't understand why people 'ignore us' most of the times...). (yeah, this is not a national issue that can threaten national security... you can't be ISA'ed for that.. bla bla bla, but how ignorant is the reporter from a reputable news agency)
Cehh!! Bikin malu kamurang ni... nda sikul kah.. bosukon, bagus lagi si Ampal!!
Now I don't even want to know what and how they spent almost RM1 million in Putatan for festive celebrations.. perhaps they organised a lot of Tadau Keamatans there!!! FGS!!!

I hate it when they have such mistakes as well... they should check and proofread bah kan. I once met a reporter for NST and she told me that they had submitted a story on Kaamatan to be included in the paper. Sekali tinguk, the story was only included for the papers to be distributed in Sabah and Sarawak. They featured a different story in the paper distributed to West Msia! Tapi, kita ni urg Sabah sudah tau pasal Kaamatan, we want others to know about it bah kan..apa la guna kalau distribute that story for Sabahan and Sarawakian only!
