Unity in diversity remains Sarawak's identity, says TYT in Wesak Day message
KUCHING (May 11): The spirit of unity and harmony between the people of different races and religions must continue to flourish in Sarawak, said Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Tun Pehin Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
In his Wesak Day 2025 message, the Head of State also expressed his pride for this spirit, which he hailed as 'an identity for Sarawak'.
'Let us continue to preserve this harmony as the foundation for the progress and stability of our beloved state,' he said, as he and his wife, Toh Puan Datuk Patinggi Fauziah Mohd Sanusi, wished 'Happy Wesak Day' to all Buddhists in Sarawak.
He remarked: 'Wesak Day is an important celebration that commemorates the birth, the enlightenment, and also the passing of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha.
'Wesak Day invites us all to reflect on noble values such as love, simplicity, tolerance and compassion for fellow human beings, regardless of race and religion.
'I hope that this Wesak Day will be celebrated with full meaning, in an atmosphere of peace and mutual respect.' lead public holiday Tun Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar wesak day

Malaysians help enrich national archives, from temple records to sambal secrets
Azmi with replicas of the nine traditional sambal recognised as national heritage by the National Heritage Department. PSWAD features these replicas as part of its 'Taste of Malaysia' gallery. — MUHAMAD SHAHRIL ROSLI/The Star IMAGINE trying to trace the roots of a major religion in Malaysia, only to find the historical records severely limited. This was the frustrating reality faced by Loka Ng Sai Kai, president of the Selangor Buddhist Development Council (SBDC), both as a student working on his thesis 30 years ago and again in 2019 for personal research. The scarce information on Buddhism's development in Malaysia led him to urge Buddhist organisations to donate their printed materials and photos to the National Archives of Malaysia (ANM) through its Community Archives programme. 'This would be our way of contributing towards nation-building and supporting ANM's efforts in keeping records of the nation's history and heritage,' said Ng. 'After all, who better to contribute materials on the development and history of Buddhism in Malaysia than the Buddhist societies themselves? We have plenty of photos as well as printed and audiovisual materials that can be kept in ANM's archives.' In October 2024, SBDC organised a visit to the ANM headquarters to better understand the agency's roles and responsibilities. They discussed strategies to encourage Buddhist individuals and organisations to donate historically valuable documents to ANM for conservation and future reference. Ng then coordinated a briefing in December to explain the process and requirements for donating materials to the agency. 'Representatives of some 20 Selangor Buddhist organisations attended this briefing to seek clarifications on what constituted items of historical value,' he said. 'We later presented several items to ANM as an initial contribution. Our next round will include a photo of former Selangor mentri besar, the late Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim visiting the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association premises during Wesak Day.' Ng, who travels around Malaysia to deliver lectures and conduct research related to Buddhism, hopes to get Buddhist communities in Sabah and Sarawak to contribute to the Community Archives programme. Another organisation committed to preserving Malaysia's history, this time in the culinary field, is Persatuan Seni Warisan Artistik Digital Malaysia (PSWAD). The group collaborated with the National Heritage Department (JWN) to submit a list of nine traditional sambal officially recognised as national heritage. These chilli pastes, some of which are difficult to find or recreate today, were declared intangible cultural heritage by JWN between 2009 and 2018. 'The list includes recipes, photos, and their origin states,' said PSWAD chairman Azmi Jaffri. 'Some sambal are not commonly available due to the scarcity of ingredients or the complexity of making them. 'By submitting these documents, we ensure the recipes are archived for future generations to learn about these local condiments.' A copy of the list, featuring sambal found in states such as Pahang, Negri Sembilan, Johor and Selangor, was submitted through ANM's Community Archives programme in Klang in May. It included commonly found ones such as sambal belacan and sambal tumis, to rare ones such as sambal getah and sambal rong, both of which Azmi said are made from rubber seed kernels. 'The recipes were acquired from village folk and local communities. The national heritage recognition will allow local entrepreneurs to market sambal as heritage products. 'PSWAD also commissioned a set of silicone-based replicas of the nine sambal variety so people can get a better idea of what they look like,' said Azmi, adding that the set cost RM15,000 and took three weeks to make. He revealed that PSWAD was in the midst of creating an interactive 'Taste of Malaysia' pop-up gallery to offer visitors an authentic, hands-on experience of Malaysian food and culture. 'The gallery will have three components: food display using silicone replicas, mini market selling a selection of sambal and crafts made by local entrepreneurs as well as a cafe,' said Azmi. — By JADE CHAN

Sarawak Metro must take action against KUTS contractors over pipe damage, says Dapsy man
A photo taken on Wednesday shows the murky water. KUCHING (July 25): The Kuching Urban Transformation System's (KUTS) project undertaker, Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd must investigate, penalise and blacklist irresponsible contractors who caused the recent pipeline damage, said Wong King Yii. The Democratic Action Party Socialist Youth (Dapsy) Sarawak treasurer also called upon the Kuching Water Board to take prompt action to ensure residents in affected areas have access to clean water. 'I am dismayed by the repeated pipeline damage caused by contractors working under the KUTS project. 'These incidents have disrupted water supply to thousands of residents in Tabuan Jaya, Samarahan and nearby areas as a result of negligence and poor supervision,' he said in a statement today. KWB said a 12-inch asbestos cement water main near Jalan Wan Alwi was damaged on July 22 while a 200mm ductile iron main at Desa Ilmu was also damaged during construction on July 18. Wong said KWB must strive to resolve the long-standing murky water issues in other parts of Kuching, especially in Green Road and Jalan Song. According to him, the board has repeatedly promised to fix the murky water problem in Green Road but residents there continue to face murky, discoloured water. In Jalan Song, he said the situation is equally bad with residents recently experiencing either murky water or no water supply at all. 'Some were forced to shower at hotels just to get through the day. This is not just an inconvenience – it's a failure in basic service delivery. 'What makes matters worse is that the transboundary haze is already happening. With temperatures rising and air quality declining, access to clean and uninterrupted water supply is more critical than ever. 'The last thing people need in this weather is to deal with brown water or dry taps,' he lamented. Wong said development means nothing if basic utilities like clean water cannot be guaranteed. Given this, he said those responsible, be it contractor negligence or agency inaction, must be held accountable. 'Sarawakians deserve reliable infrastructure, not recurring disruptions and vague assurances,' he added.

Hand and Sign Day 2025 to boost sign language awareness among S'wakians, says Fatimah
Fatimah (seated centre), officials from SSD and Sedidik, and organising committee members, show the sign language for 'I Love You' during this photo opportunity. KUCHING (July 17): The upcoming Hand and Sign Day 2025 celebration can be a catalyst to popularise the use of sign language among Sarawakians, said State Minister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development, Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah. She said bridging this communication gap would help foster better understanding, acceptance and integration of the deaf community into mainstream society, including employment sectors. She noted many people still feel awkward or unsure when communicating with deaf individuals, and attributed this discomfort to language barriers. 'We need to spread word that sign language is not only for those who are deaf, but is applicable to the larger community such as parents of deaf children or parents of ordinary children or any individual,' she said at the launch of Hand and Sign Day 2025 at the Sarawak Deaf Sports Association (SSDeaf) Building here. Fatimah also lauded the Sarawak Society for the Deaf (SSD) and SeDidik Sarawak for jointly organising the event, which will be held on Oct 25 at the Association of Churches Sarawak Hall at Jalan Stampin here. She commended SSD's initiative to hold a graduation ceremony during the event for those who have completed the sign language programme, and said it was a significant milestone towards recognising sign language proficiency as a valuable qualification. Fatimah also welcomed the idea of a long-term collaboration between the society and SeDidik Sarawak to empower the use of sign language in the state, and pledged the Sarawak government's support within its capacity. 'This is the kind of social inclusivity that the Sarawak government has always championed. We are ready to help where we can to make this collaboration a success,' she assured, adding that Sedidik recently produced 98.4 per cent of teachers who received certification certificates for the basic sign language course in Bahasa Malaysia. The ceremony also witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between SeDidik and SSD to collaborate in efforts to empower the use of sign language from an early age. fatimah abdullah Hand and Sign Day 2025 Sarawak Society for the Deaf
