Kuching South Mayor, Dato Wee Hong Seng, announced this during the handover ceremony of Magnum's RM45,000 sponsorship at the MBKS building here today. 'The contribution is not only financial, but also a gesture of trust, shared value, and commitment to the community that both MBKS and Magnum have held dearly,' said Wee, expressing his appreciation to Magnum for its continuous support spanning more than three decades. 'The long-lasting donation is the friendship that links together and builds up to make sure that as a whole, the community will benefit from this sponsorship,' he added. He further announced that this year's festival will feature 320 food stalls, three beer stalls, and one dedicated drink stall. Among the main highlights is the Chinese Home-Cooked Delicacy Corner, showcasing traditional dishes prepared by Chinese dialect groups in Sarawak – Hainan, Chawan, Teochew, Hokkien, Hing Hwa, Foochow, Kwong Wai Siew, and Hakka. They will each take turns to showcase and sell their traditional dishes over a dedicated three-day period, he noted. 'These are not the commercial recipes; these are dishes that represent the stories, the tradition, and family memories. 'So it is our way of preserving our culture through food and ensuring our younger generation understands and appreciates the richness of the root,' he pointed out. The festival will also feature a 'Gastronomy Pavilion', a special section reflecting Kuching's status as a Unesco Creative City of Gastronomy. Sister cities from Zhenjiang and Quanzhou, China, will also participate, sharing their culinary arts and culture with festival-goers. Additionally, there will be a 'Bumiputera Corner', a space where the Malay, Dayak, and other indigenous communities can proudly present their traditional delicacies. Wee encouraged the public from all over Sarawak to come and experience the delicious food, lively atmosphere, performances, and support local businesses. 'Do come, because your support matters. By visiting the stores, you are supporting all the small businesses, encouraging cultural continuity, and helping to keep this community spirit alive and thriving. 'The success of this festival is not just measured in numbers, but in all the smiles that we are creating in Kuching, the stories that we share and the memories that we create together,' he said. Also present was ENE Sdn Bhd vice president and East Malaysia regional head Liew Kee Chuan. Kuching Food Festival 2025 MBKS Wee Hong Seng

After Barça teammates Lamine Yamal, Gavi, and Robert Lewandowski recently bleached their hair, backup goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny apparently thought he might give it a try as well. The realization came relatively quickly. Less than 24 hours later, the Pole posted another story on Instagram and showcased the new look. His wife Marina apparently insisted on a return to dark hair. Advertisement As became clear in another story shortly thereafter, she didn't like this version either, and according to Szczęsny, there was only one option left - a buzz cut. What will his beloved say about the Magnum mustache? The goalkeeper can definitely pull that off, right? This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

SBI MF enters SIF space with new offerings under 'Magnum' brand name: Dy MD
SBI Mutual Fund (MF), the largest fund house in India, is set to enter the specialised investment fund (SIF) space under the 'Magnum' brand. The fund house, which recently received the licence, is exploring products in the equity and hybrid space, said D P Singh, Deputy Managing Director and Joint Chief Executive Officer, SBI MF. The fund house said it chose the name Magnum considering the existing brand association. Many of SBI MF's earlier schemes carried the Magnum name. 'We have sufficient in-house talent with a large and highly experienced investment team, and we plan to leverage on the expertise of our existing team for managing the investment strategies under SIF,' Singh said. SBI is the fifth fund house to announce a foray into the SIF segment. Edelweiss, ITI, Mirae Asset and Quant are the other fund houses that have secured licences. Other players like Axis and Nippon have also announced their plans to enter the space. Most fund houses planning to launch SIFs have opted to rely on their existing fund management teams. SIFs are a new product segment within the mutual fund framework that offers fund managers more flexibility in terms of investment strategy. These funds, which have a minimum ticket size of ₹10 lakh, can be equity, debt or hybrid in structure. 'SIF strategies are more suitable for evolved investors who understand the markets and their technicalities, and for investors who are keen on investment strategies that are more advanced than mutual funds,' Singh said, adding that wealth counters of banks, individual and national distributors are best placed to distribute SIFs. The current SIF rules allow up to seven SIF products: two each in equity (equity long-short, equity ex-top 100 long-short, and sector rotation long-short), hybrid (active asset allocator long-short and hybrid long-short), and debt (long-short and sector long-short) categories.

UK households urged to use hidden fridge button to keep food fresher
There's a 'hidden' button in your fridge that has a handy use - and it can help keep your food fresher for longer. But it turns out most people don't actually use it There's another secret appliance button with a useful function that has been overlooked. Ever bought something and stashed it in your fridge, only to forget about it and later discover it's gone mouldy? Well, there's a 'hidden' button that can help prevent this from happening. This button, found in all fridges, is often ignored, with many not giving it a second glance. But by ensuring it's on the right setting, you can make your food last longer. The elusive switch is the temperature button, typically located inside the fridge itself - and it's one of the best ways to ensure your food stays fresher for longer. It usually has numbers on it ranging from zero to five - but do you know what it's used for? READ MORE: UK's best supermarket chocolate ice creams ranked by Brits - one matches Magnum This is how you set the temperature of your fridge - but the numbers don't necessarily correspond to the actual coldness in degrees Celsius. Instead, these numbers represent the fridge's power - with five being the coldest. The Food Standards Agency recommends setting fridges at 5C or below. Anything above 8C can lead to rapid bacteria growth on your food, meaning it won't last as long. The specific recommended setting will depend on the manufacturer, which you can find in the instruction manual. According to Which?, the optimal temperature for your fridge is between 0C and 5C. To verify the precise temperature inside your fridge, you should place a thermometer in a glass of water on the middle shelf. Ideally, you should leave it overnight to get an accurate reading. It's also crucial to bear in mind that even if your thermostat is accurate, the temperature will fluctuate between shelves. The higher the shelf, the warmer it will be - which means you need to think carefully about where to put certain items. You should store cured meats, leftovers, cream cakes or anything else that doesn't require cooking on the top shelves. The bottom shelves should be reserved for raw meat, poultry and seafood, while fruit and vegetables should be kept in separate drawers. Have you ever heard of this button? If not, run to the kitchen and see for yourself! It's a lifesaver and will save you money and time by not having to refill your fridge and keep your groceries fresh.
