MIRI (May 18): Nearly 2,000 participants from various government agencies, community leaders, and local residents took part in the Gawai Dayak Niti Daun 2025 parade in Batu Niah this morning. The parade, held for the first time in the Subis district, highlighted Dayak cultural elements, particularly those of the Iban community. The two-kilometre procession served as a symbol of unity, reflecting the 'Segulai Sejalai' spirit among the multiracial communities of the Subis District. Persatuan Ketua Kaum Suai Kemena zone was awarded for having the largest and most vibrant contingent, with a total of 315 participants. Earlier, during the launch of the Gawai Dayak Niti Daun parade, Food Industry, Commodities and Regional Development Minister Dato Sri Dr Stephen Rundi Utom urged those celebrating this year's Gawai festival to do so in a modest manner. 'As a multi-racial state, we celebrate many festivals. We have just celebrated Hari Raya, and now it is time to celebrate Gawai. For those who are celebrating Gawai, I urge all of you to be modest in spending,' he said. At the same time, Dr Rundi reminded parents to keep a close watch on their children's movements and activities to prevent them from getting involved in drug-related activities. 'I hope parents remain vigilant about their children's activities so they do not fall into drug-related habits, which can destroy not only their future but also their families,' he said. Meanwhile, the organising chairperson and Subis district officer Norlila Ulis said the parade was intended to strengthen community spirit through the appreciation of indigenous and social culture while nurturing pride in traditional customs, heritage, and identity. She added that the event also aimed to promote Niah as a cultural and heritage-based tourism destination. Among those who took part in the parade were Sarawak Deputy Minister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Datuk Rosey Yunus, and federal Deputy Health Minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni.

Upgrades coming for Subis senior activity centre, says S'wak deputy minister
Rosey (seated, centre) and recipients pose for a group photo after MRP cheque handover. MIRI (May 17): Senior citizens in Subis will soon enjoy improved facilities for their activities following approved plans to upgrade the existing senior citizen activity centre (Pawe), said Deputy Minister of Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development, Datuk Rosey Yunus. The first approved project, she revealed, involves constructing a covered shed to connect the Pawe Building and the Community-based Rehabilitation Centre (PDK). 'There is an empty area between the two buildings. So, the plan is to build an open hall at a cost of RM200,000. It would be a good place for both Pawe and PDK to hold activities,' said Rosey after handing over Minor Rural Project (MRP) grants to eight recipients at Pawe building on Wednesday. Another approved plan, she added, is to upgrade the existing Pawe building, including floor repairs and improvements to the safety fencing. She emphasised the importance of these upgrades, noting that the Pawe is located in a remote area, far from the town centre. Therefore, the safety and comfort of senior citizens are given top priority to ensure they can carry out their activities in a conducive environment. 'These infrastructure improvements are in line with the government's inclusive approach to encourage active participation among senior citizens in the community, and to ensure they age healthily and with dignity. 'We want our senior citizens to stay active and healthy ― not just sit at home. That is why I would like to urge those aged 60 and above to register as Pawe members and make full use of the facilities provided,' she said. The Bekenu assemblywoman added that the construction project will be implemented by the Public Works Department (JKR), and is expected to be completed within the year after the appointment of contractors is finalised. The total amount of grants disbursed at the simple handover ceremony was RM75,838.00. The recipients were Special Development Committee for Zone Saeh (RM8,000); JKKK Kampung Bulau (RM5,000); Batu Niah Che Yan Khor Moral Uplifting Society (RM3,838); SK Beliau Isa Parents Teachers Association (RM10,000); SK Bekenu Parents Teachers Association (RM10,000); BBP Lutong's Musolla Al-Azhar (RM15,000); Pawe Subis (RM4,000); and Jawatankuasa Perhubungan Komuniti Subis (RM20,000).

Create Account It's now a reality I never imagined would happen, even though I still vividly remember how Rosey the Robot of Jetsons cartoon fame used to care for the family home, clean the dishes, vacuum and even playing with the kids. It all seemed so futuristic at the time. Unlike Rosey, our Val doesn't have any arms or legs, only talks when necessary and doesn't do the dishes. Then again, there's no need for the latter – thanks to what was also once deemed a revolutionary cleaning solution which in the early years, consumers weren't quite sure they needed the dishwasher. What Val does well is use powerful suction to vacuum virtually any surface area of your home. Val can also (thankfully) wet or dry mop the dark hardwood floors we inherited from our previous owners, floors which much to my wife's chagrin, show every footprint and spec of dust.

It's made by eufy, the same company we've turned to over the years for other forms of home automation including lighting and security cameras. Not unlike dishwashers, the first generation of robot vacuums dating back to the early 2000' had their shortcomings. They didn't have a lot of suction, lacked collision detection- and left unattended – could come to an untimely demise by tumbling down the stairs. What won us over with Val, eufy's X10 Robot Vacuum and Mop, is that it uses AI technology to automatically detect different surfaces (so it won't mop your carpet, just your hard surfaces). It also harnesses AI for collision detection, enabling it to avoid everything from kids, pets and furniture to (thankfully) stairs. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. All functions are pre-programmed, so that apart from adding water to the robot's home/charging station and initially sending the unit out to first map your floor's layout, it's pretty much a click and 'off you go' process.. When the job is done, the robot faithfully tells you it has finished cleaning and heads back home to recharge and enjoy a much deserved break. Some naysayers might argue that a robot vac is still an unnecessary luxury, what will inevitably win homeowners over is not only are they more efficient, they can save you precious amounts of time. Additional arguments in favour of embracing robot vacs sooner than later have to do with living more sustainability and striving for a healthier home. For starters, they draw far less energy – typically 60-100 watts than their vacuum cleaner predecessors, which suck up 500-1,500 watts of energy while operating. So while the physical footprint of robot vacs is larger, their carbon footprint is much smaller. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Apart from using a fraction of the energy, there's another sustainability angle one can't overlook tied to quality of living. In today's world Gig economy where a single source of income often isn't always enough to pay the bills, time is precious. So when a paying job beckons, all too often essential household chores such as cleaning invariably get pushed down the priority ladder. My prediction is that when you factor in the hundreds of hours saved cleaning our floors over years ahead, along with the benefit of making your home a healthier place to live, we'll soon view robot vacs in the same light as dishwashers as essential household device. As such, it's only a matter of time before you enlist the help of your own 'Val' to tackle the cleaning of your floors. And when you do, not only will your floors be cleaner but you'll have more time to devote to what you care about. And the cost of that is priceless.
