KOTA KINABALU, 27 May 2025 – In celebration of this year’s Kaamatan festival, PETRONAS presents Tinorindak Olisi (Crown of Love) — a heartfelt tale of discovering triumph not just through titles, but through love, cultural pride, and quiet resilience.
Anchored in the tradition of Unduk Ngadau — a cherished highlight of the Kaamatan festivities — the film offers a moving reflection on the deeper meaning of what it truly means to win.
Set against the vibrant cultural landscape and rich heritage of Sabah, Tinorindak Olisi features the Dusun language as its primary medium, interwoven with local Sabahan dialects, highlighting the beauty of diversity and unity among the state’s many ethnic groups.
The story follows Elyna Jamis, a young woman competing in the Unduk Ngadau pageant. Driven by her dreams, Elyna steps onto the stage with courage and pride, embodying the hopes of her supportive community. Amid the cheers and celebrations, she finds herself on a journey far deeper than the pursuit of a title—one that challenges her perceptions of success and identity.
“In line with this year’s theme, ‘Kaamatan for All’, this film reminds us that true strength lies in the support and unity we share as a community, especially as we strive toward progress together,” said Siti Azlina A Latif, PETRONAS Senior General Manager of Strategic Communications, Group Strategic Relations and Communications.
“Through this story, PETRONAS hopes to inspire all of us to continue uplifting one another in our shared journey toward progress,” she added.
The film was unveiled in conjunction with Yayasan PETRONAS’ Uplifting Lives Festive programme, attended by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, who is also Deputy President of the Kadazandusun Cultural Association.
During the event, Dr Jeffrey, accompanied by Siti Azlina, handed over essential food items and festive packs to selected recipients from Manggatal.
Launched earlier this month in Tambunan, the Uplifting Lives Festive programme reached a total of 500 recipients across Manggatal, Tambunan, Tongod, and Kepayan — all identified by the Sabah Social Welfare Department.
Uplifting Lives Festive is part of an ongoing effort to support communities in need during key festive seasons in Malaysia, including Chinese New Year, Aidilfitri, Kaamatan, Gawai, Deepavali, and Christmas.
Siti Azlina said: “We not only celebrate the spirit of togetherness through our Kaamatan webfilm but also reaffirm our commitment to strengthening bonds within the community. From showcasing local culture to spreading festive joy to underprivileged families, PETRONAS continues to honour traditions while building a more connected and compassionate society for all.”
Tinorindak Olisi, directed by renowned filmmaker Ismail Kamarul, is now available on PETRONAS’ official YouTube and Facebook channels.
