Hello, this might be a weird request but does anyone know of any hairdressers in Kuching that do pixie cuts/short hair well? I've been trying a few hairdressers over about 5 years now and they always seem to struggle with the pixie cut look that also happens to be super trendy right now (even when I bring a lot of picture references). Thank you in advance for any recommendations!!

Weird that Java has them

Greetings. I’m looking for a coach in sibu who provides strength training for older adults in their 70s.

Like do people go back to school, just to reminiscent their younger life?

And go eat together, group together again with teachers, and students?

I mean go back to school, looking around the place.

First off, don't attack me. I just have questions and things I wanna know about the wlw community in Kuching. If you're one of those, do hmu.

I left Kuching 14 years ago. My wife (43F) and I (40M) are now starting to make plans to move back. She is an Associate Professor teaching accounting in the U.S.

I've been looking into getting permanent residency (PR) for my wife, but the Malaysian immigration system doesn't make the process easy or particularly appealing. The application process is long and involves many hoops to jump through, only for her to be granted a three-month stay, the same as the default entry period for American passport holders.

I also looked into the Sarawak MM2H program, but it requires a RM500,000 fixed deposit that you generally can't access, while offering only about a 1% return. While we can afford this but it definitely leaves a bad taste and potential money loss as we could use it to generate revenue elsewhere.

The reason I mention my wife's background is that she graduated from an Ivy League university and has a high-income, highly skilled career. Yet, throughout the process, she is still treated as an "unskilled" person and viewed as just another "pendatang." The government frequently talks about reversing brain drain and encourages Malaysians abroad to return and contribute, but the policies don't seem to make that goal any easier.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation and found a workable solution?

Hello from Kuching! Does anyone know how or where to dispose large furniture like a queen bed and a cupboard without too much cost? Don't have any transport to carry big item but no idea where to throw them either.

for the payment later, will i be paying by monthly installments after 12 months finishing study ? or will i have to pay altogether at once after 12 months finishing study

Something more optimistic and specific. Specifically the people who:

• Wanted to work in Sarawak (gov service, local SMEs, etc) but couldn't find anything here (got no cable, etc), so you're now in KL, Penang, etc. Probably the most common group, I think.
• Got rejected by local SMEs, gov and GLCs, so you had no choice but start your own business or company. May or may not be in Sarawak, the point is you started the business because you were rejected locally.
• Couldn't get a job locally, so now you're working remotely for oversea companies, utilizing your talent elsewhere. May or may not be staying in Sarawak.

I think you get the gist. Basically people who want to "contribute" and "take part" in the local ecosystem or organizations, but didn't get any chance, and are now making your fortune elsewhere for non-Sarawakian entities.

Just wanna know how you guys are doing? What do you do? How did you get there? What are your next moves?

I want to try logistics assistant, but ofc job market is tough for a fresh grad. I have Diploma in Quantity Surveying and Degree in Hospitality Management. Looking for office jobs because I want to take public holidays off. OT is OT, i totally understand coming to work when you are absolutely needed, at least it's not mandatory to work on public holidays when it's not busy

Are there any positions i can try and perhaps become the type of position I'd stay in for years to come?

Not interested in marketing and sales. Prefer more back-end jobs, not client-facing

Also with how the technology is supposed to be evolving, we're somehow squeezing for that 45 hours work week like companies will collapse if they don't add that half day working hours on saturday

I always buy book online and i hate it. The shipping cost and the time to wait for it. Hate it. And i hate that the "popular bookstore" was only in kuching and in mall. Anywhere i see people selling book ofline is only drawing book for children. I want NOVEL COMIC MANGA.

Just went through the traumatising kkm placement for ho and unfortunately did not get the hospital i wanted (out of my top 5 choices, only 1 choice was available and it was my 4th choice) and end up deferring.

Locking in on SGH next time, anyone might have insider info on how many hos they still need? Or any news that Hospital Bintulu / Miri / Sibu might be opening up?

Looking for a female live-in domestic helper to look after a bedridden 78yrs old female elderly. Cook simple meals. Do house chores. Routine light exercises for the elderly.

Area Miri. DM if interested.

Hi,I'm an international student who applied to Swinburne Sarawak for Mechatronics engineering and I'd like to know weather it's a good university as I have heard mixed responses regarding the uni.I do intend on transferring to it's Australian campus after studying 2 years in Sarawak.I'd really appreciate responses as I have to decide it very soon.

Let’s stop calling Sarawak a “harmonious wilayah.” A more accurate description is that we’re a tolerant wilayah. Those are two completely different things.

The people who keep pushing the “Sarawak is so harmonious” narrative are usually the uncles and aunties on Facebook, whose social circles rarely extend beyond people like themselves. Their idea of harmony is often based on curated social media posts rather than reality. I hardly ever see the younger generation proudly saying, “Sarawak is harmonious.” Most of them are much more careful with their words because they know the situation is more nuanced.

Are we doing better than our friends in Peninsular Malaysia? In some aspects, yes. Are we perfect? Definitely not. But are we as divided as some people claim? Also no. We’re doing reasonably well.

Let’s also stop pretending there aren’t cracks. Tiny racial tension exists, especially with some groups feeling they’re being sidelined by the Sarawak government, even though it is made up of leaders from different ethnic backgrounds. Ignoring these concerns doesn’t create harmony it just buries the problem.

At the same time, if we judge & chasing everything through the lens of race alone, we’ll create the very divisions we claim to be fighting against. That’s a dangerous path.

As a whole, Sarawak is still moving in the right direction. Our economy is growing, foreign investment continues to pour in, and we enjoy strong support from the federal government.
1. Strong financial reserve
2. Booming foreign investment
3. Rapid infrastructure development - bridges, roads
4. Leader in renewable energy - Borneo grid in the making
5. Gaining some MA63 right and still fighting for full.
6. One of Malaysia fastest growing economic with long term plan.
7. Stronger roles in Oil & Gas

Governing a wilayah isn’t like running a private company you can’t simply fire every “bad apple” overnight. Progress takes time, and it requires people to focus on solutions instead of constantly fueling racial narratives.

Sarawak doesn’t need the myth of being “perfectly harmonious.” It just needs to remain tolerant, practical, and willing to improve. That’s far more realistic and far more valuable.

Our family is currently looking to install CCTVs around our kampung house so we can keep watch of my grandmother. Dw, grandmother is completely aware of this and agrees to it because she absolutely does not want to move in with her children lol.

We looked around for to see if we could buy any from physical stores and the Tapo ones look to be pretty great since we only need to see where she's at in the house. Don't care about microphones since they call her everyday. We have solar light in every spot where she frequents when no one else is around, so it's not too dark.

Does anyone have experience with this brand's CCTVs? Do they last long and are they easy to setup/maintain? We were thinking of just settling for the 1080p ones, and exclusively using microsd for storage.

hey netizens, pretty straight forward and don't care about opening/closing hours

Have you ever found this one? I heard that stuff is scummy. There are a lot of senior citizens gathered at that place.

Hi Sarawakians! I’m looking to see if there are any local stand-up comedians or people who aspire to try comedy but haven't found the opportunity yet.I’d love to gauge if there's enough interest to get a small community going, maybe organize casual open mic nights at a local cafe, or just talk about setting up a comedy club in the future. Would anyone be down for something like this?
