Reinstate direct Kuching-Pontianak flight to revive tourism, trade, S'wak activist tells govt
Peter (front) in a group photo with the Sarawak delegation in West Kalimantan. MIRI (June 6): Social activist Peter John Jaban has called on the government to urgently reinstate the direct flight between Kuching and Pontianak, emphasising that improved air connectivity is crucial to facilitate cross-border travel and strengthen ties between Sarawak and West Kalimantan. He raised the issue following a recent overland trip to West Kalimantan, which he led alongside a delegation of 50 Sarawakian business leaders. While the mission was successful, the group faced nearly four hours of delays at Immigration, Customs and Quarantine (ICQ) checkpoints due to long queues and complicated paperwork. 'This journey underscored the urgent need for a direct flight. The land route simply cannot substitute for air travel in terms of speed, comfort, and efficiency. 'A direct connection is vital, not only for convenience but for maintaining bilateral ties,' he said in a statement. Peter expressed hope that both Indonesian and Malaysian authorities would prioritise and expedite the reinstatement of the Kuching-Pontianak air service, which has been suspended since March 2024. He pointed out that communities on both sides of the border have been adversely affected, as the suspension impacts livelihoods directly. 'This is not just a flight route, it is a lifeline. Its suspension has disrupted cross-border tourism, hindered medical and educational travel, and slowed down vital cultural and economic exchanges that have long flourished between our people,' he said. Before the flight suspension, thousands of travellers relied on the direct connection each month. Peter said without it, passengers are forced to transit through Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur, resulting in longer, more costly, and physically exhausting journeys, especially for those seeking medical care in Sarawak. 'Quick access via air is not a luxury; it is a necessity,' he stressed, citing Sarawak's rising status as a medical tourism hub, particularly for Indonesian patients seeking affordable, quality treatment. He also argued that reinstating the flight is critical for small businesses, local tour operators, and the hospitality sector as the region strives to recover from economic challenges. Furthermore, Peter highlighted that restoring this air link would support broader regional integration under the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asean Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) framework, serving as a vital bridge for cross-border development. In this regard, he also urged AirAsia and other airlines to demonstrate their commitment to regional growth and connectivity. 'This is not merely a logistical issue, it is a matter of fairness, development, and cooperation. 'The people of Kalimantan and Sarawak deserve better connectivity and the opportunity to thrive together,' said Peter. direct flight kalimantan Kuching Peter John Jaban

Haj pilgrims brave intense heat en route to Mina
MAKKAH: The intense heat, exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, was among the major challenges faced by Haj pilgrims as they made their way to Mina for the 'jamarah' ritual, also known as the 'stoning of the devil.' For this writer, the blazing heat left his 'ihram' attire soaked in sweat as he made the 4.5-kilometre journey on foot from his accommodations in Jalan Malik Abdullah to the main pillar, known as 'Jamratal Kubra' for the stoning ritual. Throughout the trek, fellow pilgrims recited the 'talbiah' and chanted the 'takbir Aidiladha'. To manage the heat, many used umbrellas, spray bottles to douse themselves with water, and even handheld fans to cool themselves. Along the way, Haj officials would frequently spray water towards the pilgrims to reduce their body temperature and reduce the risk of heat stroke. Based on the weather forecast, the temperature is expected to be in the range of 44 degrees Celsius between noon and 4pm, which is when the Haj pilgrims make their way to their destination. The stoning of the Jamratul Kubra is among the items deemed 'wajib' or compulsory when performing the Haj. While not included as part of the 'rukun Haji', the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had performed the 'jamarah' ritual, which underscores its importance in the Haj pilgrimage. Last night, pilgrims who had completed the 'wukuf' in Arafah began moving to Muzdalifah for the 'mabit', (a momentary rest or overnight stay) to make preparations before the stoning ritual. Scores of buses were seen lined up along the road, bringing pilgrims to Muzdalifah. Despite the large number of pilgrims, the situation remained under control. The 'mabit' in Muzdalifah usually marks a brief pause in the Haj journey, giving pilgrims just enough time to collect the stones they will use for the stoning ritual. After the stoning ritual and 'tahallul awal' are completed, the pilgrims would spend two days in Mina for the 'Nafar Awal' and three days for the 'Nafar Akhir'. Throughout this period, the pilgrims would perform the stoning ritual and throw stones at three pillars - Ula, Wusta and Aqabah - daily. According to the Saudi government, the number of pilgrims for the 1446 Hijrah stood at 1,673,230, including 1,506,576 from outside Saudi Arabia.

Haj pilgrims complete ‘stoning of the devil' as Aidiladha begins
MINA, June 6 —Pilgrims were performing the last major ritual of the Haj—the 'stoning of the devil' today, as Muslims around the globe celebrated the beginning of the Eid al-Adha holiday. From before day break, the 1.6 million-plus pilgrims began throwing seven stones at each of three concrete walls symbolising the devil in the Mina valley, on the outskirts of the holy city of Mecca. Droves of pilgrims had already set out from their accommodation in the sprawling tent city in Mina before dawn, taking advantage of the cool temperatures. The ritual commemorates Abraham's stoning of the devil at the three spots where it is said Satan tried to dissuade him from obeying God's order to sacrifice his son. 'Our experience in Mina was easy and simple. We entered and within five minutes we had completed the stoning of the devil at the 'Jamarat',' said 34-year-old Wael Ahmed Abdel Kader, from Egypt, after carrying out the ritual at dawn. Howakita, a pilgrim from Guinea, said the prospect of celebrating Eid in Mecca filled her with joy. 'When I threw the stones I felt at ease. I was truly proud,' she said. A day earlier, pilgrims converged on Mount Arafat, praying and reciting Koranic verses at the 70-metre (230-foot) rocky rise near Mecca, where the Prophet Mohammed is believed to have given his last sermon. Many climbed the mount despite the searing heat, though numbers had thinned by midday following official warnings for pilgrims to stay inside between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. This year's Haj saw authorities implementing a range of heat mitigation efforts alongside a wide-ranging crackdown on illicit pilgrims — resulting in noticeably thinner crowds and a heavy security presence at holy sites in Mecca and surrounding areas. Muslim worshippers perform the early morning prayers for Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, near the ancient Egyptian Abusir pyramids necropolis in the village of Abusir in the south of Giza province on June 6, 2025. — AFP pic The measures were aimed at preventing a repeat of last year's Haj that saw 1,301 people die in temperatures that hit 51.8 degrees Celsius (125 degrees Fahrenheit). Saudi authorities said a majority of those deaths were among pilgrims who slipped into Mecca illegally and lacked access to accommodation and other services aimed to keep pilgrims safe and protected from the searing desert heat. This Haj season has recorded the lowest number of pilgrims in over three decades, barring the years of Covid restrictions from 2020-2022. Last year, 1.8 million Muslims took part in the Haj, according to official figures. Haj permits are allocated to countries on a quota basis and distributed to individuals by a lottery system. But even for those who can secure them, the high costs spur many to attempt the Haj without a permit, even though they risk arrest and deportation if caught. The stoning ritual in the Mina valley was the scene of a fatal stampede in 2015, when 2,300 people were killed in one of the deadliest Haj disasters. Saudi Arabia earns billions of dollars a year from the Haj, and the lesser pilgrimage known as umrah, undertaken at other times of the year. The pilgrimages are also a source of prestige for the Saudi monarch, who is known as the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques of Mecca and Medina. The end of the Haj coincides with the beginning of Eid al-Adha—an annual feasting holiday marked by the slaughter of an animal—typically a goat, sheep, cow, bull or camel. — AFP
