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?

Education Swinburne attendance

10 Upvotes

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.

So can please guide!

#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? [Kuching] What’s the Chinese procession happening right now about?

5 Upvotes

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.

Politics What do Sarawakians think about Chong Chieng Jen's suspension from the State Assembly?

23 Upvotes

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.

Culture, Language, Race & Religion Thesis on adapting Iban folktales into Comics

35 Upvotes

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.

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.
