'90s Dublin pop band reunites for upcoming album
Two original members of '90s Dublin pop band SWIM have reunited to record their upcoming album NIGHTSTOCK. After more than three decades apart, vocalist Joe Reilly and composer John McCrea reconnected in 2025 with the intention of creating and releasing new material. According to a statement, Reilly sought freedom to express himself through lyricism while McCrea endeavoured to break from the norm of conventional song structure. NIGHTSTOCK is the product of the duo's new experimental approach to songwriting. The seven tracks on the album were recorded in just a few sessions with Reilly, McCrea and producer Ger McDonnell, whose credits include U2, Dido, Def Leppard and more. 'Tony's House,' the first single from the album, is set to be released this Friday, July 4, with a music video directed by Cork videographer George Hogan. Reilly said the concepts for 'Tony's House' came in a stroke of inspiration while reading an Edward Hopper art book in between recording sessions. 'During the recording sessions for NIGHTSTOCK, the band were experiencing some difficulty with one of the longer pieces on the album and decided to take a break. I was flicking through 'The Paintings of Edward Hopper' and the painting 'Tony's House' in particular caught my imagination,' Reilly said. 'Within half an hour, I had come up with the lyrics for 'Tony's House,' the song. Having shown the lyrics to John, the music was quickly composed, and the accompanying keyboard track was recorded in one take. The vocals were put down in a few passes, and so 'Tony's House' appeared within a matter of hours. Ger then added his usual studio magic, et voilà.' SWIM were first formed in 1988 with their freshman record, Sundrive Road, produced by Steely Dan's Gary Katz. After the release of Sundrive Road, the band toured with the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Cher. They disbanded in 1991 due to band members' reluctance to continue touring. In 2020, Hot Press included SWIM on a list of '90s Irish bands that could have been massive.' The entirety of NIGHTSTOCK will be released August 14 at the Kilkenny Arts Festival. The band currently have no plans to play live.

First state-level test in Oct
KUCHING: Year Six pupils in Sarawak will sit for the state's inaugural Ujian Penilaian Dual Language Programme (UPDLP) on Oct 15 and 16, says state Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister Datuk Seri Roland Sagah. He said the UPDLP is a standardised assessment for Year Six and Form Three students taking the dual language programme in Sarawak, covering the three core subjects of Science, Mathematics and English. 'The examination papers for these subjects are developed by our local expert teachers, ensuring they are tailored to the programme's specific needs and context. 'Crucially, all examination papers will also be thoroughly vetted and verified by Cambridge University Press and Assessment (CUP&A). This rigorous process guarantees that the assessments meet international standards,' he said in his winding-up speech at the Sarawak legislative assembly yesterday. Sagah said Swinburne Innovation Malaysia (SWIM) signed a contract service agreement with CUP&A in Cambridge, England, on April 30 to formalise the international partnership. 'This initiative is a collaborative effort by my ministry, the Education Ministry, the state Education Department, SWIM and our state-owned universities. 'It underscores our commitment to ensuring the standard of education in Sarawak continues to meet global standards,' he added. On Sarawak's free tertiary education scheme (FTES), Sagah said it would benefit 10,000 eligible Sarawakian students when it starts next year. He said the scheme, which was approved by the state government in March, is estimated to cost RM300mil in its first year. 'The FTES will first focus on undergraduate degrees in STEM-related fields, law, medicine, accounting, finance and psychology. 'However, other financial assistance is available in the form of scholarships or loans provided by Yayasan Sarawak to cater for any other courses, so nobody is left out,' Sagah said. To a question by Chong Chieng Jen (DAP-Padungan), who sought clarification on why the scheme is not offered for all courses, Sagah said FTES is still in its initial stage. 'We must spend wisely, and we also look at the talents required by the state in the next few years. 'It doesn't mean that now we offer it for these courses and stop at that,' he added.

The Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister said this initiative underscored the state government's commitment to ensuring that the standard of education in Sarawak continues to meet recognised global standards.

'This initiative is a collaborative effort by my ministry, the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE), the Sarawak State Education Department (JPNS), Swinburne Innovation Malaysia (SWIM), and our state-owned universities,' he said when winding up his ministerial speech at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) Sitting today. He explained that the assessment covered three core subjects central to the DLP Sarawak curriculum namely Science, Mathematics, and English. 'The examination papers for these subjects are developed by our local expert teachers, ensuring they are tailored to the programme's specific needs and context. 'Crucially, all examination papers will also be thoroughly vetted and verified by Cambridge University Press and Assessment (CUP&A). This rigorous process guarantees that the assessments meet international standards,' he said. He added that to formalise this partnership, SWIM signed a Contract Service Agreement with CUP&A on April 30 in Cambridge, United Kingdom, which was witnessed by Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg. On the Sarawak Enhancement Education Programme (SEEP), Sagah said the Sarawak government has allocated RM20 million to support this programme which aims to significantly improve student performance, particularly in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination. 'A core element of this initiative is the provision of free tuition to students, specifically targeting those who have not passed their school-based examinations, with the goal of boosting their academic achievement. 'SEEP focuses on Form 3 students, offering tuition in core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, and History. For upper secondary students, the programme extends to include tuition for all pure science subjects. 'The overarching objective is to enhance students' readiness for STEM-related courses at tertiary level and to prepare them for future careers within STEM fields,' he explained. In addition to free tuition, he said SEEP also encompassed a range of supplementary activities which include the development of comprehensive learning modules for both teachers and students, the creation of a dedicated SEEP Management System, and the organisation of various webinars and workshops, as well as facilitates crucial engagement sessions with teachers and parents.

Year Six pupils in Sarawak to sit for inaugural state-level test on Oct 15-16
State Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister Datuk Seri Roland Sagah delivering his winding-up speech in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Monday (May 26). KUCHING: Sarawak's standardised assessment for Year Six pupils will get underway this October, says state Education, Innovation and Talent Development Minister Datuk Seri Roland Sagah. He said the pupils would sit for the inaugural Ujian Penilaian Dual Language Programme (UPDLP) on Oct 15-16. "This initiative underscores our commitment to ensure that the standard of education in Sarawak continues to meet global standards," he told the Sarawak Legislative Assembly during his winding-up speech on Monday (May 26). Sagah said the UPDLP was a standardised assessment for Year Six and Form Three students undertaking the dual language programme in Sarawak, developed by his ministry in collaboration with the federal Education Ministry, state Education Department, Swinburne Innovation Malaysia (SWIM) and state-owned universities. He said it covered three core subjects central to the Sarawak DLP curriculum, namely Science, Mathematics and English. "The examination papers for these subjects are developed by our local expert teachers, ensuring they are tailored to the programme's specific needs and context. "Crucially, all examination papers will also be thoroughly vetted and verified by Cambridge University Press and Assessment (CUP&A). This rigorous process guarantees that the assessments meet international standards," he said. SWIM signed a contract service agreement with CUP&A in Cambridge, Britain, on April 30 this year. On curriculum-related matters, Sagah said his ministry had no objection to the proposals by Bukit Semuja assemblyman John Ilus and Serembu assemblyman Miro Simuh to reintroduce Sarawak history in primary schools as well as environmental, social and governance (ESG) at pre-university level. "Nevertheless, as curriculum matters fall under the jurisdiction of the federal Education and Higher Education ministries, we will forward the proposals to them for their consideration," he said.
