A two-day state holiday was declared for the harvest festival, control of which was returned to the KCA a magnificent KCA cultural centre was built in Penampang which became the site for subsequent Sabah-level festivals the ethnic label Kadazan was again legitimated and the pribumi one buried, and the first moves were made to have Kadazan taught in schools.

Hebrews surrender a tenth of their harvest for God and the priests. Every third year the laws of Deuteronomy required that a portion of these tithes be used to assist orphans and widows (Deut 14 22-29). This custom continued among the Jews at least until the Second Temple period, circa 300 b.c. (Tob 1 8). Second, the law mandated that orphans should share in the communal meals celebrating the Pentecost (Deut i6 ii), a law which contrasts sharply with the Homeric image of the fallen Hector s boy ejected from the festival meals of his father s former companions (Iliad, 22.496 8). Third, the Mosaic law allowed orphans to glean the fields after the harvest they had the right to shafts of wheat left in the fields or to olives and grapes still on the branches (Deut 24 19-24).
