Hi, is anyone here an alumni of the programme or kenal sapa2 who got GETS? Just wanted to ask if 2026 only has Cohort 6 and every single application since the start of the year till October would be considered?

I don't want to be picky with jobs, so I'm hoping to get into the programme and learn from it as much as possible.

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.

Hi! I will be visiting Kuching for the very first time for a business meeting. I am planning to bring some gifts from Semenanjung and just wondering what do Sarawakians like from here? Thank you! 🙆🏻‍♀️

Would like to hear thoughts/experiences on ASSAR (Amanah Saham Sarawak).

Who wants to go next week? Need a friend.

Visited this place quite a few times, and I feel that it’s slowly becoming run down. But it still has great potential if it’s taken care of properly. What do you think, guys?

Are there any environmental conservation activities that I can volunteer for or even any part time work in kuching? I am a fresh grad looking for jobs elsewhere in Malaysia now but while I'm waiting for that Im happy to do some meaningful work. I have experience with environmental conservation activities when I studied abroad but seems like there aren't a lot of these activities in kuching?

It is me or other people feel that during peak hour during back going home (Kuching to Samarahan), the Jemarahan is congested than usual after the Jabatan Sejingkat open to Public. But the morning peak hour are less congested and arrived at work early. To be honest I rather come to work late than arrived at home late.

Hey there! will be in Kuching for a relatives wedding! havent been to Kuching in almost a decade. Wondering if anyone could recommend some craft beer spots or bars to check out? Appreciate it!

Geng, kinektok siney tempat di kchg yg masih accept pertukaran tong gas kaler kuning ow?

Where are you bringing your children to go trick~or~treating ? 👻 We've chosen our Halloween costumes & I'm dressing up as President Trump. We're having friends over for Turkey and what not & going for pumpkin spice latte & desserts at Bing. Have a merry & scary Halloween everyone.

Found the perfect bedframe and desk combos on Taobao and Shopee but

1) buying furniture on Taobao means the price isn't finalised yet since it would need to consider the total weight

2) Shopee does not currently offer delivery as it exceeds the size/weight limit

3) prefer to see it in person first because indah khabar daripada rupa is a thing

Is there any furniture shop in Kuching/Bau/Kota Samarahan/Serian area that sells bedframe + desk combo similar to these? I'm also open to furniture makers/manufacturers who accept custom orders!

ftes allowance is available for whose house income is rm1500 and under right? what if my house income is just rm150 extra? will i have the probability to get it?

Under FTES, tuition fees are fully covered for undergraduate degree programs across priority sectors—including Medical / Health Sciences, STEM, Law, Finance, and Accounting.

I was thinking a career change, something that could actually serve the people and not just capitalism.

I always had a love of STEM and was considering moving back.

I would happily bond myself to the deepest parts of Sarawak to serve.

Part of me cannot take the rat race anymore.

I need to serve our people.

I saw a video saying RM300 enough already if you retired.

Is that even true?

How much do you think we need in Kuching?

Anyone had any experience with this? I need to get my car from Kuching to Port Klang any idea which company to look for and what the price range? For a sedan car.

What you guys opinion on this? For me, I truly support to increase minimum wage, because no matter what, inflation will be still there, sellers always have excuses to raise the price of product.

What do you guys think about this? To be honest I literally feel like sarawak is not belong part of Malaysia, like during the time our haze is serious, government literally dont do anything. But when their place got haze, they start to take this issue seriously. Plus, everything in sarawak is more expensive than west m. And if we do online shopping, also take longer time to ship to our place. It seems like they really dont put much attention in developing Sarawak.

Is it because Sarawak dont have sultan, then dont have any ydpa from Sarawak, and also there is also no prime minister from Sarawak too,thats why this happens? Like it seems like we cant get the welfare and benefits that we deserve eventhough we contribute so much to Malaysia.
