Community work in Semeba out to protect Sarawak's geo-heritage
The volunteers conduct clean-up works on a section of Syis Tuang Semeba surrounding the 250-million-year-old rock formation in the area. KUCHING (May 24): A 'gotong-royong' (work party) involving over 100 volunteers at Syis Tuang Semeba (formerly known as Kampung Semeba) near here recently, culminated in the collection of rubbish weighing more than 200 kilogrammes. Organised by Kuching Resident's Office and the Geopark Community, in collaboration with a non-governmental organisation (NGO) Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), the clean-up initiative focused on sections surrounding a 250-million-year-old rock formation in the area, believed to be the oldest of its kind in the region. Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang, who officiated at the programme's opening ceremony, emphasised the significance of the site. 'We are happy and proud to have the oldest rock, 250 million years old, in Semeba. 'We are expecting that it will be recognised by Unesco (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) and become a Unesco Heritage Geological Geopark. 'The status would ensure that it would be preserved for everybody to see, study and admire, and also for it to promote tourism,' he said in a brief speech. In her remarks, HWPL volunteer Ning Bong hailed the 'gotong-royong' as not only a practical environmental initiative, but also as a symbol of civic unity and pride in Sarawak's natural history. 'We're truly grateful to YB Lo for giving us this opportunity. 'It allows us not only to contribute, but also to learn and discover the treasures of our land. Kuching Resident Dayang Joanita Azizah Abang Morshidi (third left) presents a memento to Lo, as Ning (left) and others look on. 'Through this 'gotong-royong', we have come to see that even a small act of service can help protect something so ancient and meaningful. 'The HWPL hopes to continue reaching out and serving communities with love and peace. 'This 'gotong-royong' reflects the strength of community spirit, where unity and shared effort create a lasting impact. 'Together, participants not only cleaned the site but also helped protect its heritage for future generations,' said Ning. geopark gotong-royong lead Syis Tuang Semeba

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" TV Series in Works
Yara Sameh A TV version of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' is in the works at Amazon Prime Video. The series is based on the book of the same name by Wang Dulu, which is part of the so-called Crane Iron Pentalogy. The official logline for the project states: 'Amidst stunning landscapes and spectacular action, 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' follows Shu Lien and Mu Bai, two star-crossed warriors, as they struggle between forbidden love and the pull of modernity — caught between preserving their way of life or embracing a future together.' Jason Ning is writing and executive producing the adaptation, with Ron D. Moore serving as executive producer along with Maril Davis via Tall Ship Productions. Johnny Levin, Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment, and Hong Wang and Qin Wang of the Wang Dulu Estate also executive produce. Ying Lou is co-executive producing. Sony Pictures Television, where both Ning and Moore are under overall deals, will produce. 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' was originally published between 1941 and 1942. The other books in the series are: 'Crane Startles Kunlun,' Precious Sword, Golden Hairpin,' 'Sword Force, Pearl Shine,' and 'Iron Knight, Silver Vase.' 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' has previously been adapted for the screen numerous times, perhaps most famously by Ang Lee for the 2000 film of the same name. It proved to be a box office and critical smash, grabbing over $200 million at the global box office and earning 10 Academy Award nominations. It was reported at the time Ning signed his overall deal in 2023 that he would begin working on a series version of the book. Ning's other credits include 'The Brothers Sun,' 'Mrs. Davis,' 'Lucifer,' and 'The Expanse.' He is repped by UTA, Gotham Group and Yorn Levine. For Moore, this is the second big IP-driven series he is developing at Prime Video under his new overall deal with Sony. It was reported in October 2024 that Moore had boarded the streamer's series take on the popular video game 'God of War' as showrunner. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
