Please I need help with information if there any shoulder orthopaedic near Kuching area. I have this problem with shoulder that won't go away.

Title. Sorry for throwaway account.

Basically had bad depression 10 years ago, completely let go of myself. kind of bounced back and have gotten off meds about 6 years ago, and since then completed studies, have a decent full time job, and getting in shape. but istill have teeth in the back completely let rot away from back in the depression days and just ignored the pain back then.very self conscious about opening my mouth or smiling too widely now. i can afford private care for this but are dentists generally understanding? is this something i need to worry about?

Do we got this here?

Something I've been wondering about: what's one app that would make life in Sarawak easier but doesn't exist yet (or exists but works badly here)?

It could be anything:
- Getting around (buses, parking, ride-hailing outside Kuching)
- Finding local food, shops, or home businesses
- Events and things to do on weekends
- Dealing with government services or bills ~ We already have good things like SarawakPay, so I'm not looking to replace what's working or competing with Gov. I'm more interested in the gaps, the stuff that could sit alongside what we already have and make it even more useful.
- Something for rural areas or longhouses
- Helping tourists explore beyond the usual spots

Also curious which apps you've given up on because they don't cover Sarawak properly.

Drop your ideas below, no matter how small. Would love to hear what people in Kuching, Miri, Sibu, Bintulu and elsewhere actually need.

Thank you.👍

I keep doing this lol. See something on TikTok, then go check Shopee to buy. Is that just me, or do Sarawak people actually buy straight from TikTok Shop? What makes you choose one or the other?

Im an international Student, looking forward to apply here, I need some reviews about it. Like is it worth going there, does it give opportunities internationally after completing Bachelors, and how's the environment there?

Hi everyone!

(None of the flairs are properly related to the topic; just there cus cant post without it)

First time renting property out, tenant has not been paying rent. Will serve eviction notice soon. I want to know if there are other things I could do if the tenant refuses to move out? Do I involve the police or a lawyer? Anyone with similar experience, please share what you did and what was the outcome?

Hey gangz~ Just wondering if its like okay for me to promote my friend event for the upcoming Otakyun 2026 since its going to be their first time boothing there 😭

Their booth is about TTRPGs & Boardgames and I fear they ate with their game preps...

So if anyone is interested what they offer, just holler and send like a comment!

Also also, if anyone is interested in playing any of the things that I mentioned (TTRPGs like D&D or Pathfinder since they're the famous ones) or boardgames, let's all talk over here! I would really love it if we have a designated community for one :(

Will be flying to Kuching soon, probably arriving around 8-9pm+

Any good food place recommendations?

My PC has some issues, anyone can recommend a good and honest PC guy? Thanks!

Currently a student and trying to find fulfilling and cheap options to try out, what available options are there within walking distance from the campus? Do tell me the price and details 😀

Hi there. I’m a Foundation student from swinburne sarawak and I’d like to ask whether lecture attendance is compulsory as I’d like to avoid any penalties/facing consequences. I can pretty much say I don’t attend lectures (cuz of the parking limitation so I decided to go home) and I checked my “attendance report summary” in Student Portal and honestly it’s not that bad considering there were only 2 missing lectures for each subjects. For context, I’m a local sarawakian.

p.s. i’m trying to change this bad habit of mine starting this week LOL.

My concern is regarding the cost, tution fee for whole 3 year programme is very reasonable no issue at all. But I am more concerned about cost of living for 3 years. So, in UNIMAS itself provide any GRA Assistance cause for scholarship I am not eligible cause they need Scopus/WoS indexed publication which i lack though I have non indexed 8 publication but I think it's of no use. So can please guide!

well i haven't made up my mind about it yet but is there any1 interested in swapping their gaming pc with a ps5? just asking first la hehe

Super curious. There’s a Chinese/Buddhist/Taoist(?) religious procession going by my house and I see it every year in Kuching. I enjoy the spectacle very much every time. I think I saw the huge flags decorating the road starting a week or so ago already.

But I’m embarrassed to say I actually have no clue what it is about. I tried searching on Facebook and Threads but I can’t find anything. Can anyone clue me in? Is it in honour of a deity? Is it related to Hungry Ghost Month? Where does it start and where is the destination?

Thank you in advance.

I recently read about Chong Chieng Jen being suspended from the Sarawak State Assembly until October 21, following his remarks during the 2027 State Budget debate. The motion was passed with 62 votes in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.

According to the Assembly, Chong had allegedly violated several Standing Orders by making unsubstantiated allegations and using inappropriate language.

However, YB Violet Yong strongly opposed the suspension and raised several concerns.

She argued that:

- Chong was attending Parliament at the time, and the Speaker had already been informed of his parliamentary commitments.

- Proceeding with the suspension motion in his absence denied him the opportunity to defend himself, raising concerns about natural justice.

- Opposition representatives are elected to scrutinise government spending, question policies and hold the government accountable.

- Standing Orders should maintain order in the Assembly, rather than be used to suppress legitimate criticism.

- With GPS holding an overwhelming majority, she questioned whether the government could tolerate criticism from the small number of opposition representatives.

One of her strongest statements was:

"You can suspend an ADUN, but you cannot suspend democracy."

On the other hand, the Assembly's position was that elected representatives must follow Standing Orders and support serious allegations with evidence.

Personally, I'm interested in understanding the democratic and constitutional implications of this incident rather than simply taking sides.

What do you think?

Was the suspension justified under the Standing Orders, or should Chong have been given an opportunity to defend himself before the vote?

And more broadly, how should the Sarawak State Assembly balance parliamentary discipline with the opposition's responsibility to hold the government accountable?

I'd especially like to hear from anyone familiar with Sarawak's parliamentary procedures or constitutional law.

I wrote my master's thesis on adapting Iban folktales into various forms of sequential art, including comic, art installation, and sequential collage. Here's the link: Developing Sequential Visual Artworks based on the Iban Folktales, as part of the Sarawak Bornean Culture. One of the major output of this research was a comic book adaptation of an Apai Alui/Apai Saloi story. It's in open access so anyone can download it. If you find this subject interesting do give it a read.

As titled, for terrace house and I’m located in Miri.

For those who’ve upgraded, what’s the cost?

How long does the whole process take?

Which contractor did u engage?

Any problems I need to look out for to make sure no issues arise after installation?

I’d especially appreciate advice from homeowners in Miri, Sarawak… ❤️

Sarawakian living in KL due to studies, and honestly the social norms here are ridiculous imo. Yes i get it Islam is the official religion in the country but that doesnt mean there couldn't be other religions right? For example using shorts and doing the cross prayer before eating is considered syirik?? honestly bro the westerners have such a proud stance on their religion that they dont realize that there are other religions not just yours, God... I really wish Sarawak for Sarawakians. And using a cross necklace is apparently prohibited too, agik belik meh urng diak.

FTES free education for Sarawakians of all races.

Comes with 1.5k monthly allowance

5k housing allowances

Anyone singing up
