Indie vibes take centre stage in KromaKuning's Sarawak Day tribute in Kuching
The 'KHEMAH I.N.D.I.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.C.E DAY' programme brought together local creatives in a night of music, expression, and community spirit. KUCHING (July 28): Over 50 people gathered at Khemah Café, Jalan Dagok Timur here to celebrate this year's Sarawak Day in an alternative and independent spirit. Themed 'KHEMAH I.N.D.I.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.C.E DAY', the programme was jointly organised by KolabBasi: Kumpulan Tidak Konsistan (KromaKuning) and Khemah Café, spotlighting the independent music scene and alternative artistic expression, offering a grassroots platform for the local voices. 'We built this event with the true spirit of independence; not just nostalgia, but the freedom to be yourself, to speak out, and to feel accepted without having to follow industry formulas. 'And most importantly, we did this with our own hands, for ourselves,' a KromaKuning spokesperson told The Borneo Post. The night featured performances by five independent acts, starting with a soulful R&B showcase by Dayangmu. Coming up next was Lydbie, who delivered introspective, melancholic pieces that resonated with the audience. Akmal Kamisly followed up with a solo set before being joined by Dayangmu for a duet. Wan Purong added humour and interactive energy to the evening, while Adruce Azman closed the event with a series of original songs that blended folk and jazz. His set began with a heartfelt rendition of 'Ibu Pertiwiku', paying tribute to Sarawak Day. Beyond the music, the event also included a digital campaign titled 'Follow & Freebie', which boosted online engagements. Attendees who followed the organisers' Instagram accounts (@kromakuning and @ received exclusive merchandise items, including limited edition stickers and customised design pieces. Those dressed in a 'camping vibes' theme received special drink promotions, further enhancing the laid-back and free-spirited atmosphere. 'This event is not just entertainment, but a manifestation of alternative voices that rarely find space in the mainstream. 'Through an open and community-driven format, we've created space for new talent to shine,' added the KromaKuning spokesperson. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many describing it as 'a fresh breeze' in the Sarawak Day celebration scene. KromaKuning expressed hope of making the camp-themed gathering an annual event, continuing the open mic sessions and alternative art programmes. 'We would also welcome collaborations with other groups in promoting independent culture and community arts,' said the spokesperson. KolabBasi is an independent art collective led by KromaKuning, engaging Sarawakians in music, visual arts, writing, and community activism. Known as the Kumpulan Tidak Konsistan, the group operates informally but consistently to champion a space for alternative expression in Borneo. Khemah Café, known for its tropical camping-themed décor, continues to serve as a hub for creative gatherings, including photo exhibitions, poetry readings, book discussions, and acoustic shows.

M'sian studio's debut game explores the eternal goodbye through a child's eyes
If you could go back in time and see that person you loved again, what would you do? What would you say to them? Everything good must come to an end, and all love ends with grief. We've all dealt with loss in our lives, making the central premise of Once Again universally relatable. The young protagonist of this short but sweet visual novel is a boy named Sia, whose mother has passed away. On his 10th birthday, he awakens from a nap to discover a birthday cake in his room. Making a wish, he finds himself mysteriously transported to the past. There, he miraculously encounters his mother as a younger woman, who teaches him to develop photographs. Sia's mother teaches him about photography, and he in turn develops an equally strong interest in the craft. The story is mainly expressed through short sentences, all told from the point of view of the main protagonist Sia. From then on, on each of his birthdays, the boy is transported to the past, reuniting with his departed mother for one precious day each year. The pain of farewell Once Again is the debut game from Malaysian developers RB Wolf Games, and was conceived by producer Yee Weng Hong during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Yee, 36, comes from an advertising background, and this was his first foray into a purely creative project. 'That was a time when I realised how fragile life is,' he says. 'The game's story is also based on a real-life story. One of the main characters is inspired by one of my relatives, a woman who dreamed of becoming a mother, but unfortunately passed away two months after giving birth due to a heart condition called PPCM.' (Also known as peripartum cardiomyopathy, the American Heart Association explains it as an uncommon form of heart failure which can happen during or after pregnancy, when no other cause of heart failure can be found.) 'This story had always been in my mind, and during Covid, I thought I could try to make a video game.' His mind made up, Yee set up RB Wolf Games and managed to win a grant from MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation) which really helped the fledgling company during the developmental stage. The melancholic colours and composition of Once Again informs the player of the sentimental tone of this quiet tale of goodbyes and second chances. Throughout the course of the game, Sia repeatedly travels to the past, spending time with his mother, who is revealed to have a strong interest in photography. She teaches Sia about her passion, and he too develops an equally strong interest in the craft. 'I love photography,' Yee says. 'I think it's a beautiful way to freeze time, and turn moments into lasting memories. I think in the game, photography helps to tell the story of the differing perspectives of mother and son.' Artistic influences 'I think the biggest influence on my game was actually music,' Yee shares. 'A lot of inspiration for the story, visuals, and soundtrack came from lo-fi music. It was more about capturing the vibe.' If you have spent any time on YouTube listening to lo-fi music, perhaps that would have conjured up a certain aesthetic. Manga-style, hand drawn character art, combined with soft pastel clouds draped over the sunset. Yee would often play instrumental lo-fi or Ryuichi Sakomoto's piano music while working on the visuals and art direction to infuse his work with the intended feelings. 'Instrumental music only,' Yee says. 'If there's a person singing lyrics it might distract me.' Other than music, the indie game Florence, developed by Mountains and published by Annapurna Interactive was a big influence. Yee says, 'It inspired us in developing the interactive aspect of the game. Interaction is very important because you need it for the player to truly immerse themselves in the story.' Once Again is Yee's first time telling a narrative story. — YEE WENG HONG The gameplay in Once Again, like Florence, is understated and simple. For example, some sequences task the player with adjusting the exposure and focus on a camera to take beautiful shots of the landscape or Sia's mother, much like Florence's gameplay loop of touching certain areas of the screen to perform mundane tasks or convey interactions with the main character's loved ones. Once Again is the first work of fiction Yee has created. 'It was a big personal challenge,' Yee remarked. 'I don't come from a writing background, I worked in advertising. I'm an art person. This is my first full narrative story. It was quite fun!' The text in Once Again is minimalist, unconcerned with using fancy words, instead trusting to the emotions the simple dialogue and narration evokes. The gorgeous visuals combines with the beautiful music to create a truly sentimental and timeless atmosphere, putting one in mind of the idle holidays of one's youth. A chance to say goodbye Yee emphasises the importance of closure in his game. In life, there are a lot of continuous or unresolved experiences, or experiences that are 'commas', as Yee describes. 'When you are able to say goodbye properly, it turns those commas into full stops, full sentences. You need to be able to properly say goodbye to everything, not just people, but memories, relationships, and different phases of your life. The core of this game is exploring the meaning of farewell. How we face it and learn to let go. 'Cherish the moment and appreciate every chance you get to meet the people you love. I hope that's something players can take away from their journey in Once Again.' Indeed, the protagonist Sia has the chance to do something that many people never get to do: say goodbye on his own terms. Photography serves as a gameplay mechanic and vehicle to express the point of view of the characters. — RB Wolf Games As a newcomer to the gaming industry, Yee and his company RB Wolf Games met with their share of challenges. He had no contacts or experience. 'When we started out I watched a lot of case studies, joined some game festivals, and learned from others in the industry,' Yee says. 'I met many developers and producers and they shared their experience.' Yee and his team of four to five people, mostly freelancers, gave their all to make their vision a reality. He employed Chinese and English writers to help finetune and translate his manuscripts as he had no writing experience. The positive response this game has received is a source of motivation for Yee and his team to keep going. 'Sometimes I still receive thank you messages from players,' Yee says. 'It means a lot to us. It has become a strong foundation for us to build something even better in the future.' RB Wolf Games is working on their second project now, with an even bigger scale and emotional story. 'We just kickstarted it this year, so there's nothing much we can show at the moment. I just completed the script end of last year, and now we're working on art direction and characters. One of the many idyllic yet bittersweet panoramas in the game. 'We also plan to enhance the gameplay and make it more engaging, we're in the process of trial and error with the gameplay mechanics. We're trying to get the gameplay rhythm to match the story and make sure the player won't feel bored. Hopefully we will have more to show people early next year.' Once Again is available on Steam for RM11.50, as well as on the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store and Nintendo eShop for US$5.99 (RM25).

Kuching Half Marathon Heritage Run 2025 draws 3,200 participants from 22 countries
Abdul Karim joins the winners of the Kuching Half Marathon Heritage Run 2025 for a group photo. – Photo by Roystein Emmor KUCHING (July 27): The second edition of the Kuching Half Marathon Heritage Run 2025 today attracted a total of 3,200 participants from 22 countries. Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Minister Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah, who officiated at the prize presentation ceremony at the Kuching South City Council (MBKS) compound, described the event as a very exciting initiative that continues to promote both sports and tourism in Sarawak. 'This is not the first time the event has received an overwhelming response. I was informed that the number of participants has grown from year to year,' he told reporters after presenting prizes to the winners. Of the 3,200 registered participants, 1,400 competed in the 21km half marathon, 700 in the 10km race, and 1,100 in the 5km fun run. Sarawakians made up the majority at 77 per cent, followed by 15 per cent from Peninsular Malaysia, two per cent from Sabah, and six per cent from overseas. International runners came from countries including Australia, Brunei, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Kenya, Korea, and the United Kingdom. Held in conjunction with the Kuching City Day celebration, the event was organised by the Kuching City Joggers Club (CJC) in collaboration with MBKS. This year's edition is officially accredited by the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), with certified routes for the 21km and 10km categories. The 21km and 10km races were competitive, offering a total of RM54,600 in cash prizes, including a newly introduced national category to encourage local athletes. The 5km fun run was non-competitive and aimed at families and casual runners. All participants received an official event T-shirt, race bib, e-certificate and finisher's medal. Those who completed the 21km race also received a special finisher's T-shirt, while the top 100 finishers took home a limited-edition shirt. Abdul Karim noted that such sporting events have a positive impact on Sarawak's tourism sector. 'When runners come to Sarawak, they stay in hotels, eat at our local restaurants, and purchase souvenirs to bring home. These are the things that will help our tourism industry,' he said. Among this year's participants were an 82-year-old runner from Kuching and the oldest participant, an 86-year-old veteran from Ipoh who had served in Sarawak in the 1960s and returned to join the event with several friends. The race flagged off early this morning, with the 21km starting at 4am, followed by the 10km at 6am and the 5km fun run at 6.30am. A Zumba cooling-down session was held at 7.30am before the prize-giving ceremony at 7.45am. Abdul Karim congratulated the organisers and sponsors for a well-executed event and encouraged more corporate support for future editions. Abdul Karim Kuching Half Marathon Heritage Run 2025 lead
