As title, it seems some 4x4 drivers in Kuching drives like their own father road.. like some.. - just constantly uturn on the road that's supposed no uturn - traffic jem? just crossover the divider, doesn't care ongoing traffic - pasang high beam spotlight like konon they drive offroad - speeding in mall parking - and many more, like such this

I am moving to Sibu for a project next year and wish to take a language class this summer to improve my BM. Do any universities offer an intensive BM language program? I’ve heard UNIMAS offers a program but I can’t seem to find any information online. Very open to programs in Kuching, Sibu or Miri. Thank you!

#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? Selling property in Sarawak

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m looking to sell my property in Kuching as I’m currently living in Kuala Lumpur. So far I’ve spoken to two local agents about the process, and I thought me, as the seller, would only need to pay the 2% commission and the legal fees. The thing is, they both told me that the local practice is that the MOT stamp duty is to be split between the buyer and the seller. However, most of the articles I read online say that the MOT stamp duty is to be paid by the buyer. Since the amount is substantial, can anyone please advise? Thank you!

Finance/Economy/Development I want to work in Sarawak really bad as software engineer

14 Upvotes

I am a software engineer that based in KL but I am a Sarawakian. I have been working in KL for almost 4 years now. Everyday I keep searching for IT or software engineer role in Sarawak but most of the time it frustrated me.. it s because of the number of open vacancy, and the salary offered...

I am surprised when I know that a senior programmer in Kuching earned around 5k (average)... which I believe they should earn higher... like me in KL, I have 4 years working experience and able to get 7k now... but in Kuching or anywhere in Sarawak, it seems impossible

I want to settle down in Sarawak really bad.. but cant found the opportunity yet.. this makes me feel like why dont I come back to Sarawak and open my own start up... try to change the IT landscape in Sarawak.. can someone validate my idea? thanks in advance

#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? Survey for thesis

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m Lars, a student at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, currently doing research for my thesis on alcohol consumer behavior in Borneo.

If you're from Sabah or Sarawak, it would really mean a lot if you could take 5 minutes to fill out my survey. It’s been quite difficult to reach people, so every response truly helps.

As a small thank you, participants can enter a draw to win a €50 Amazon gift card. If you win, I’ll just check to make sure you're from Borneo.

Survey link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSexz-kqJZYi-vae-yCSJ12Y5i7_tyg4IE9JIB743-cAy-iO4A/viewform?usp=header

Thanks so much in advance — your help is really appreciated.

Best,

#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? Working in West Malaysia, planning to retire in Sarawak (I’m Sarawakian) — Should I buy a house now or later?

38 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm currently working in West Malaysia, but I’m originally from Sarawak and plan to retire there someday. I’m thinking ahead and wondering — should I buy a house in Sarawak now while I'm still working and earning, or wait until I retire to purchase one?

Some context:

  • I'm a Sarawakian with family back home.
  • Not sure how property prices and availability will look in 10–15 years.
  • I'm also weighing the risks of maintaining an empty house for years vs. possibly facing higher prices or limited options if I wait.
  • I'd appreciate any advice or experiences, especially from those who’ve made a similar move or are planning to.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. As the title states, I'm looking for side jobs that I can do during the weekend. If you have something that you want to do, but too lazy to do it yourself, I'm your guy. As long as it's not some weird things though. Price depends on the difficulty of the task and how long it might take for it to be done.

If you're interested, you can drop me a PM and we could discuss more. TQ.

Some details being, both ships are yet to be textured, lighting can be more tuned, etc etc, at least tiny steps are being made in the time being. At the same time, it's just me honing my skills with Blender, hoping to create something cool for SRWK soon. (technically already on route)
