Kolombong Tamu July 2019

Dr Susan Sim's comments on Tamu Ground at Giant Kelombong every Saturday :-

Anyways just to share with you about the Kolombong Tamu:

Today as I walked through the Tamu under the Kolombong Giant carpark, I felt tremendously blessed as I realized the abundance of organic vegetables are available and the mountain of fresh papayas, pineapples, mangoes and of course the many different types if bananas I could get for a few ringgit. All around me were small holders Chinese, Dusun and Bajaus trading together without any racial divide. I am able to get real hakka chung made by a Hakka old lady, so neatly wrapped and in a hurry to pass her stall over to her Timor maid as her son comes to get her to go to church😁. I can get veges like moringa leaves, brasilian spinach, purple ginseng, sweet potato leaves, pumpkin shoots from a Dusun woman, which I cannot get from any where else. The plant vendors with their many different potted cactuses & plants are not only feasts to my eyes but feed my passion while the dog vendors feed Andrea’s. The fish stalls owned by Bajaus sell fresh fish at a reasonable price serving as vendors to fish stalls in KK. Everything from fresh coconuts, batik, fresh spices, cats, plates to old-fashion Hakka kuih is sold with ppl lining up to buy them. I am truly blessed when I find that some travel from afar and stay a nite in their vans to sell their wares for a couple of Ringgit every Saturday. God has provided us with a mecca of healthy food and a place of convergence for Sabahans to make a living simultaneously retaining their individual culture and identity. This is how the new Malaysian nation should be.
