PETALING JAYA: Sabahan Zita Bolingkong enjoys defying the norms and chooses to see challenges as exciting new adventures to embark on.
Clearly not someone easily daunted by the unknown, the 53-year-old became a pepper farmer almost a decade ago despite having no prior experience in the male-dominated field of farming.
This former banking employee reasoned that since she pulled off owning a construction company years ago with no experience, she could learn the ropes of pepper farming too and make a success of it. Zita, who is of Dusun heritage, spoke to FMT via a Zoom interview about her foray into pepper farming.
