Kadazan Dictionary

It is sad that copies of the Kadazan Dictionary are no longer available. And there is no news when the next reprinting will be.

There are people who are still looking for a copy of the dictionary. They could have come last year when the Lotinggi Dampian Books Shop still had them aplenty, sold at the original price. Even people from Kota Kinabalu came to the shop to buy a copy of the dictionary.

The new version of the Kadazan Dictionary have four sections, namely, the Kadazan-English Section, the English-Kadazan Section, the Kadazan-Malay Section and the Illustration Section. The illustration was hand-drawn by the late George Mokunjil. It was work in progress at the time of his passing. Very sad, indeed.

Meanwhile, those interested to learn the Kadazan Language may be able to learn a little bit by following Kadazan Homeland at Twitter.

Announcement will be made online when copies of the Kadazan Dictionary become available. We have not yet heard any word when that may be.

Sometimes, an individual or two may want to part with their personal copy of the Kadazan Dictionary. This is very rare, indeed. Books bought and sold in this way will be sold at a higher price.

Effects of GST and Loss in Currency Value

Implementation of GST may stay for a long time unless there is a change in government policy. Even if this happens, we don't know when such change will occur. In the meantime, the cost of most items will remain with GST-added. It is not necessarily with value-added, though. Apart from this, the value of the Ringgit had plunged, making RM100.00 just like a 10 dollars a few decades ago. So some people say.

It is because of this that items offered for sale at Lotinggi Dampian Books & Stationery will most probably increase. Unfortunately. And when things had become more expensive, it is not easy for the price to go down even when the economy has recovered. Unfortunately!

Meanwhile, the price of items acquired earlier will remain. The next batch will most probably be higher in price. Unfortunately. This is to ensure that the shop remains open for several years to come.

See you around Megalong.
