I found this picture of me taken in 1991 when I was in college. A college mate of mine who happened to be from Sabah lent me her traditional costume. To be precise this is a Penampang Kadazan traditional costume. It has gold trimmings (siling) on black velvet. For the ladies, they wear a sleeveless blouse (sinuangga) and a long sarong (tapi).The costume is worn with the blouse tucked into the sarong. Then several rows of silver coin belts (himpogot) and up to three heavy belts made from individual brass rings (tangkong) complete the outfit.
