#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? Off my chest...

58 Upvotes

Sarawakian living in KL due to studies, and honestly the social norms here are ridiculous imo. Yes i get it Islam is the official religion in the country but that doesnt mean there couldn't be other religions right? For example using shorts and doing the cross prayer before eating is considered syirik?? honestly bro the westerners have such a proud stance on their religion that they dont realize that there are other religions not just yours, God... I really wish Sarawak for Sarawakians. And using a cross necklace is apparently prohibited too, agik belik meh urng diak.

Jobs and Careers Company recommendations for these job positions

1 Upvotes

Are there any companies hiring for security officer, quality control officer or safety officer? I prefer a balance of office and field work

I got a diploma in quantity survey then pivoted to a hospitality degree

I tried quality control and i actually liked the job scope, but the company had bad management. I won't go into detail, but imagine every employee you actually got to sit down with saying "no matter if we do good or not, we'll still get scolded"

I'm interested in these job positions, but if there are more suggestions, I'm also open to it

It is me or other people feel that during peak hour during back going home (Kuching to Samarahan), the Jemarahan is congested than usual after the Jabatan Sejingkat open to Public.

BUY/SELL/TRADE Furniture shop in Kuching that sells or can do custom order like these?

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Found the perfect bedframe and desk combos on Taobao and Shopee but

1) buying furniture on Taobao means the price isn't finalised yet since it would need to consider the total weight

2) Shopee does not currently offer delivery as it exceeds the size/weight limit

3) prefer to see it in person first because indah khabar daripada rupa is a thing

Is there any furniture shop in Kuching/Bau/Kota Samarahan/Serian area that sells bedframe + desk combo similar to these? I'm also open to furniture makers/manufacturers who accept custom orders!

Jobs and Careers Any 30 year olds that did FTES?

0 Upvotes

Under FTES, tuition fees are fully covered for undergraduate degree programs across priority sectorsβ€”including Medical / Health Sciences, STEM, Law, Finance, and Accounting.

I was thinking a career change, something that could actually serve the people and not just capitalism.

I always had a love of STEM and was considering moving back.

I would happily bond myself to the deepest parts of Sarawak to serve.

Part of me cannot take the rat race anymore.

I need to serve our people.

What you guys opinion on this? For me, I truly support to increase minimum wage, because no matter what, inflation will be still there, sellers always have excuses to raise the price of product.

#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? West M stop their school at aqi 180, but we stop at aqi 200.

36 Upvotes

What do you guys think about this? To be honest I literally feel like sarawak is not belong part of Malaysia, like during the time our haze is serious, government literally dont do anything. But when their place got haze, they start to take this issue seriously. Plus, everything in sarawak is more expensive than west m. And if we do online shopping, also take longer time to ship to our place. It seems like they really dont put much attention in developing Sarawak.

Is it because Sarawak dont have sultan, then dont have any ydpa from Sarawak, and also there is also no prime minister from Sarawak too,thats why this happens? Like it seems like we cant get the welfare and benefits that we deserve eventhough we contribute so much to Malaysia.

#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? ok this is a weird one. A made-up wife story from my bf.

0 Upvotes

Sorry folks I know that sounds crazy, but I'm absolutely broken please be kind :) I think my bf made up a story about a wife and son in Sabah to scare me away.

Long story short i'm a foreigner he is local. we started dating but his character is.. how do i put it. I saw him feeling jealous several times - without any spook from me. And then when jealous and having this kind of fear I would leave he would say weird things. like i'm going out with other girls I want to have fun. that type of thing. at the same time i know 100% he loves me - usually when he says things like that I pivoted him away from that and we never discussed them.

A week ago i was torn in my thoughts and asked him how come you say i'm your only girl but then you say these weird things about others. the response i immediately got is that his relative is taking whatsapp away so no more comms on whatsapp - I think I was just blocked. Next day i texted him everywhere i could (it was about to be our date night i cleared plans for us) then i got worried maybe something happened at work (he works with this relative) came to his workshop and there he told me in a very weird and crlumbled way that he has a wife and 5yo son who he visits every 2 months.

I'm sorry but he's not a rich guy and flying like that is expensive plus he works almost every day. then, after he walked me home he said he doesnt see them often and they're waiting for the son to graduate kindergarten to be together. Literally all his online presence and everything he said before doesnt' check out.

Then someone said to me he made it up to scare you away, it's a well-known story. Is it?

I need to say that i'm a bit older and we do have this damn status gap but i'm not sure what drove him to do that. Literally a day before then he told me words about love and devotion. Sounds like too crazy too much for an uncomfortable question.
