BELURAN: This year's Unduk Ngadau Beluran contestants were introduced to the rich heritage of the Dusun Labuk community, an initiative to ensure the beauty queens can become true cultural ambassadors. Held at Butik Ryna Collection in Taman Perumahan Beluran recently, the programme offered hands-on exposure to key elements of Dusun Labuk heritage, including traditional embroidery, crocheting, cuisine, dance, and musical instruments. The Dusun Labuk are predominantly found in Beluran and Telupid districts. The contestants learned the intricate art of 'sulaman bunga gosing' (floral embroidery) and 'mongorinda (crochet) les Labuk', both of which are integral to the community's traditional attire known as Sabung Labuk.

Weekend for the arts: Bayu's 'Resonance Of Souls', Sedar Space's paper trail
EXHIBITION: BAYU UTOMO RADJIKIN'S 'RESONANCE OF SOULS' Venue: Harta Space, Ampang, Selangor Date: ends June 29 It's always a bit of a local art world event when Bayu drops a new exhibition - and true to form, he's painted the town red, crimson, and several shades of existential maroon. In his latest solo outing, Resonance Of Souls, Bayu dives deep beneath the skin, using the human body as a stage for silent emotional dramas. The Harta gallery space is ideal to experience these impactful works. With contorted poses, visceral textures, and colour fields that practically hum with feeling, Bayu's paintings don't just speak - they brood, ache, and occasionally whisper something you can't quite hear but definitely feel. Don't come expecting portraits or personal narratives. These anonymous male figures are stripped of identity to reflect something more universal: the inner battles and unglamorous grit that shape us. It's emotional anatomy class, Bayu-style. This exhibition marks a mature evolution in the Sabah-born artist's style - blending the physical and the abstract, the seen and the sensed - offering a raw, resonant look at what it means to be human, in all our quietly heroic messiness. As a founding member of both the Matahati Collective and Hom Art Trans gallery, Bayu carries over three decades of artistic mileage - and it looks like he's still shifting gears. More info here.

Irsyad EXHIBITION: 'ON PAPER' Venue: Sedar Space, Shah Alam, Selangor Date: ends June 21 There's always a good chance you'll stumble upon an interesting independent artist-run gallery show in Shah Alam - and Sedar Space continues that streak with the second installment of On Paper. This group exhibition brings together 23 artists—including Ahmad Fuad Osman, Haslin Ismail, Gan Chin Lee, Samsudin Wahab, Amron Omar, the late Othman Mansor, Lina Tan, Arif Rafhan Othman, Alice Tan, Haziq Shawal, Anissa Abdullah, and more—who push paper far beyond its traditional role, treating it not merely as a surface, but as a medium to sketch, collage, journal, and explore ideas in inventive ways. Divided into five parts, the show offers a range of approaches to this humble material. Some works feel intimate and autobiographical, touching on memory, culture, and identity. Others are playful, even mischievous - folded, cut, layered, and reinvented into surprising forms. Expect everything from delicate ink studies to bold, spontaneous mark-making and tactile, sculptural compositions. Whether you're drawn to conceptual pieces or visual diaries, On Paper is a reminder of how something as everyday as paper can hold extraordinary weight. A by-appointment exhibition. More info here. A painting by Tong titled 'Blister'. It is part of his solo debut exhibition 'Occurs' in Kuala Lumpur. Photo: Tong Fung Chuar EXHIBITION: TONG FUNG CHUAR'S 'OCCURS' Venue: The Changing Room, Zhongshan building, KL Date: June 7-22 It's always encouraging to see emerging artists given the spotlight with solo debuts. Occurs, curated by independent curator Umar Sharif, marks Tong Fung Chuar's first solo painting exhibition - an introspective series that retraces the raw, often unsettling experiences of everyday life. With titles like Blister, Screaming Car, and Bloodletting, Tong's paintings tap into the anxiety and quiet chaos we often overlook. While exaggerated in tone, they reflect the internal melodramas we all carry, reimagined through expressive lines, solitary figures, and soft colourways that contrast with their uneasy themes. The French-trained artist presents pain, fear, and tension through naive, unstructured forms. The absence of recognisable figures leaves space for personal reflection, while the curation favours mood over narrative. More than an introduction to a promising new voice, Occurs also serves as a case study in independent exhibition-making - a reminder that art can thrive in self-created 'third spaces,' where experimentation and expression go hand in hand. Tong, who graduated from the National School of Fine Art in Dijon, eastern France in 2021, now lives and works between Kuala Lumpur and Johor. More info here. At his debut solo exhibition at Wei-Ling Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Khabir presents a striking series of large-scale wall installations. Photo: The Star/Raja Faisal Hishan EXHIBITION: KHABIR ROSLAN'S 'SUKMA: MEGAH, TUNDOK' Venue: Wei-Ling Gallery, KL Date: ends June 21 After his time in the WLG Incubator Young Artists programme in 2023 under the mentorship of Yau Bee Ling, emerging artist Khabir Roslan presents a solo debut exhibition at Wei-Ling Gallery, exploring time through themes of decomposition, repair, and transformation. Using compost soil mixed with pigments and oil, along with stitched bandages and cloth, Khabir creates large-scale, tactile works layered with care and memory. Hexagonal motifs - echoing Singgora clay roof tiles from Nusantara architecture - repeat across the surfaces, evoking both fragmentation and continuity. Titled from the Bahasa Malaysia words sukma (soul), megah (greatness), and tundok (humility), the show reflects on cyclical rhythms of making. Neither quite painting nor sculpture, the works unfold as soil-stained scrolls that stretch floor to ceiling, anchored by a fragment of a boat's hull - merging gesture, object, and grounded reflection. For those new to his work, Khabir is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice weaves together science, cosmology, and philosophy. A Fine Arts graduate from UiTM Shah Alam, he was awarded "Most Promising Artist" after winning the UOB Painting of the Year 2020 in the Emerging Artist category. More info here.

Photo: Artemis Art EXHIBITION: SHINYA MASUDA'S 'HOJO ZANMAI' Venue: The Drawing Room, Yap Ah Shak House, KL Date: ends June 14 If you're on the hunt for a fresh art space in Kuala Lumpur, The Drawing Room is well worth a visit. Award-winning Japanese artist Shinya Masuda is showing his latest photomontage series, Hojo Zanmai, fresh from its debut at the Sony World Photography Awards 2025. This marks the series' first stop following its premiere at London's Somerset House. The good news is the exhibition has been extended to June 14. Shinya's practice spans a rich, multidisciplinary spectrum - drawing on Buddhist philosophy, Kantian epistemology, Einstein's theory of relativity, and principles of quantum mechanics. His works are at once meditative and intricate, inviting viewers to pause and contemplate the hidden dimensions of existence. Hojo Zanmai marks Artemis Art's third collaboration with Shinya, following his solo debut Katsuko (2016) and the virtual exhibition The Hanafuda Shuzuoko Collection (2020). Free admission. The exhibition is open daily, 10am-8pm. More info here. A close-up view of Wong's artwork 'Pakcik Dan Makcik' (acrylic on wood, 2025).

Developed between Austria and Malaysia, the show marks a tonal shift from the psychological intensity of his Beijing years toward a language of clarity, wit, and restraint. Featuring painting, sculpture, and a contemporary take on wayang kulit, the exhibition explores presence without performance - being rather than becoming. It signals a moment of arrival for Wong, placing him firmly within ongoing conversations around abstraction and self-representation. Known for his gestural style and evolving material language, the globe-trotting Wong has exhibited across Asia, with works in major collections including Khazanah Nasional, Singapore Art Museum, and Bank Negara Malaysia. He lives and works between Graz and Kuala Lumpur. More info here.

Filipino actress Michelle Dee bitten in the face by pet dog
Michelle Dee rushed to get medical help after her pet dog bit her in the face and left a torn wound on her cheek. Photos: Michelle Dee/Instagram Michelle Dee rushed to get medical help after her pet dog bit her in the face and left a torn wound on her cheek. The Filipino actress-beauty queen showed her face with patches on her cheek and chin, through her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, June 3. 'My unexpected Tuesday plot twist,' she captioned her post. 'Sa mukha ko pa talaga.' (It even had to be on my face.) In a succeeding post, Dee showed herself at the clinic of celebrity doctors Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho. The Miss Universe Philippines 2023 also gave a closer look at the wound on her face. 'No matter how much we love your furbabies, never underestimate dog bites!' she reminded her followers. 'Act quick.' Belo, who came to Dee's rescue, wrote in a separate post, 'We got you, Michelle!' Just last February, another celebrity fur parent, actress Alma Concepcion, shared that she and her son were bitten by their pet dog. The actress regarded the incident as a learning experience for her and her family, saying that while their dog is kind, they would refrain from cuddling him as it might prompt another biting incident. 'I'm sad about this change. But over-all he is kind. He's potty trained and with the looks of it, he is very sorry,' Concepcion said. – Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network

Crocker Range Festival set to return June 26
Published on: Thursday, June 05, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jun 05, 2025 Text Size: Festival organising chairman Rafie Robert said the initiative aims to provide a free and inclusive experience for all visitors, strengthening intergenerational ties and community spirit. KENINGAU: The Crocker Range Festival (TCRF) is set to return for its 8th season with a vibrant four-day celebration from June 26 to 29 at Dataran Keningau, featuring a dynamic mix of cultural showcases and community programmes. The event is expected to draw both local and national attention, especially from tourists and culture enthusiasts, with its focus on celebrating the rich ethnic heritage of Sabah's interior. Advertisement This year's festival will include traditional performances, craft competitions, ethnic sports, and highlight programmes such as the popular Miss & Mister Crocker Range pageant and an exhibition of local products. New to this year's edition are three added components – the Sabah Cultural Fiesta, Keningau Youth Fiesta, and Kids Fiesta. Festival organising chairman Rafie Robert said the initiative aims to provide a free and inclusive experience for all visitors, strengthening intergenerational ties and community spirit. 'An exclusive performance by two acclaimed local ethnic artistes, Alena Murang and Belle Sisoski, is set to be one of the main highlights of the event, with both expected to captivate the audience through traditional music that celebrates and elevates Borneo's rich cultural heritage. 'We are excited to carry forward the legacy of TCRF as a platform to celebrate our culture and foster community unity. Having incredible talents like Alena and Belle join us will add depth to the cultural experience,' Rafie said. He added that the festival also offers a meaningful opportunity for local entrepreneurs to showcase and sell their products directly to the public, contributing to rural economic growth. TCRF 2025, he said, is more than a cultural celebration – it is aligned with the State Government's vision of strengthening tourism as a key driver of economic development under the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) Development Plan. 'This is a holistic effort to enhance tourism, preserve cultural identity and boost the local economy,' he said. The public is encouraged to attend and experience the vibrant cultural diversity of Sabah during the event.
