KUCHING (July 15): Aleysha Shareef Van Der Horst and Kelvin Epoy Arang have will represent Sarawak at the Bintang Kecil 2025 national finals in September after emerging as the top two finalists for the state-level competition on Saturday. Themed 'Metaverse', the Sarawak zone contest at the RTM Auditorium P Ramlee drew a crowd of over 500. Aleysha, 12, from Kuching, belted out Jaclyn Victor's iconic ballad 'Gemilang' to clinch one of the two coveted spots. She said she was extremely proud to be chosen to represent Sarawak, especially as it marked her first-ever Bahasa Melayu singing competition. 'After competing internationally last year, this one is very special as the vibe during the preparation and final event was incredible. Sarawakians are very music-minded and super supportive in every way,' she told The Borneo Post. Looking ahead, Aleysha is preparing for several international engagements, including a four-week scholarship programme at the New York Film Academy (NYFA) in the United States, which she earned at the 27th World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA) last year. 'Recording demos in Los Angeles is also in progress. At the same time, I'm preparing for the Kemuncak Bintang Kecil 2025 finals, which will be held in Kuching on Sept 20,' she added. Kelvin, 12, from Bintulu, impressed the judges with his emotional rendition of 'Cinta' by Marsha Milan from the original soundtrack of the television drama 'Masih Ada Rindu'. 'He is very grateful to be selected to compete at the national-level Bintang Kecil and proud to be able to carry the name of Bintulu to the next level,' Kelvin's father Arang Odau told The Borneo Post. 'We are planning ahead to ensure the chosen song suits Kelvin's voice.' No stranger to competitions, Kelvin was the champion of Pertandingan Karaoke Bintang Kecil organised by Universiti Putra Malaysia Sarawak, Bintulu last November. He sang the song 'Rahsia Pohon Cemara' by the band Exist to win the competition organised as part of the Sports and Music Carnival. Both Kelvin and Aleysha received RM2,000, a trophy, and a certificate each for their achievement. The other four state-level finalists – Dayang Nur Humaira Awang Amir Mahmud (10, Kuching), Nur Atirah Syahirah Sahibuddin (11, Kuching), Mohamad Abiyy Anshary Mohamad Musyadi (12, Miri), and Aleysha's twin brother, Ryan Zachary Shareef Van Der Horst — each received a consolation prize of RM1,000, a trophy, and a certificate. Sarawak Broadcasting deputy director Norjihan Yahya presented the prizes. Bintang Kecil is organised by RTM Sarawak in collaboration with the Sarawak Government. The competition, first introduced at the state level in 1986, expanded to the national stage in 1998. Aleysha Shareef Van Der Horst Bintang Kecil 2025 Kelvin Epoy Arang lead

Premier: Sarawak may see emergence of post-AI technology within a decade
Abang Johari fields questions from reporters during the press conference. – Photo by Chimon Upon KUCHING (July 2): Sarawak may witness the emergence of a new generation of advanced technology that surpasses the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) within the next five to ten years, said Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. According to Abang Johari, scientists are currently working on developing a new chip-based technology that could transform how machines process and verify information. 'That's where this technology is being developed. From what I've read, there is a chip that will be able to solve the problem. In the process of addressing this issue, the chip will be able to determine whether something is real or fake — essentially, it will serve as a kind of checkmate. 'But maybe in another five or ten years, we will have this technology. In this world, there must be natural opposites — up and down, light and dark, day and night. That kind of check and balance will eventually emerge. But it depends greatly on how this chip technology evolves. Ultimately, all of this comes down to the chip,' he said. Abang Johari was responding to a question on whether the government plans to introduce new laws to regulate deepfake content and prevent technology-related scams during a press conference after officiating the opening ceremony of the Sarawak Media Conference (SMeC) 2025 at a hotel here today. 'This is the first time we are organising a conference specifically for the media, and we have chosen a very relevant topic in this new era of technology — the impact of AI on the media sector,' he said. He pointed out that current technological developments are advancing rapidly, driven primarily by innovations in chip technology. 'AI-generated content heavily depends on the objectives of its users. But in reality, AI is incredibly useful in sectors like healthcare and machine manufacturing, where it enables the creation of new devices by humans. 'That is why the question of ethics is crucial — it depends on the values of the natural brain, the human brain, and the artificial brain,' he said. Abang Johari also touched on biomedical developments, highlighting the potential for AI to enhance human brain function through neurological concepts. 'If there are certain weaknesses in the human brain, the artificial brain can help boost it. In healthcare, we are now seeing the emergence of what is called generative medicine, where communication happens between cells — a stronger cell can help reinforce a weaker one,' he explained. He added that AI, which began gaining traction just seven years ago, evolved from earlier technologies like virtual and augmented reality. 'Initially, what existed was virtual reality, where small things could be visualised as large. But now, that capability has merged with the machine's ability to think,' he said. However, with the advancement of AI, there are growing concerns about misuse, especially through deepfakes. 'Deepfake content is becoming widespread — for example, earlier when I was shown to speak on the screen. That is the technology. 'So, there must be a technology that can verify whether something is genuine or not. Otherwise, scams will evolve — from data-based scams to vision-based ones,' he warned. Therefore, Abang Johari emphasised that the evolution of technology, particularly in verifying authenticity, is already being researched and will likely play a major role in the near future. Earlier, in his officiating speech, Abang Johari shared that a post-AI technology is currently under research by scientists, though details remain confidential. 'After AI, there will be another technology. It is currently being studied by scientists, and I cannot reveal much at the moment. But there will be an added technology alongside AI — a technology that can act as a checkmate to AI. 'Technology can check another technology. The research is being undertaken by scientists, and it is fundamentally based on algorithms,' he said. Touching on the conference, Abang Johari expressed hope that it would establish a clear parameter between ethics and artificial intelligence (AI). He stressed that the future will be determined by code — code that will shape the fabric of society. 'For Sarawak, we believe in balancing the natural and artificial approaches,' he said. He also highlighted the importance of instilling a strong value system in the use of AI. 'We must not misuse it. AI is just a machine — a machine without the human touch. We, as humans, have emotions. 'And with that, I wish you all the best in this conference,' he added. abang johari AI chip-based technology lead Sarawak Media Conference 2025
