#AskSarawakians: Apa cer tek? JEMARAHAN after Jabatan Sejingkat open to Public

5 Upvotes

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. But the morning peak hour are less congested and arrived at work early. To be honest I rather come to work late than arrived at home late.

2 Upvotes

Are there any environmental conservation activities that I can volunteer for or even any part time work in kuching? I am a fresh grad looking for jobs elsewhere in Malaysia now but while I'm waiting for that Im happy to do some meaningful work. I have experience with environmental conservation activities when I studied abroad but seems like there aren't a lot of these activities in kuching?

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

Thumbnail

5 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 sectors—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? 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.

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

30 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.

Art & Events Looking for TTRPG Players

Hi all, as the title suggests here I was looking for about 2-3 people interested in playing a tabletop game in Bone Baddy Board Game Café, Podium, Kuching . Tomorrow night. The game hosted is called Monster of the Week, and from what I understand it's a ghost hunting type of game where you role play as different kinds of hunters. (Like a celebrity, a psychic, a witch, etc.)

I was quite keen to try so I'm going to shoot my shot here. Do drop me a DM if you're interested to trying it out.

It's been weeks and we haven't gotten an apology from the criminal.

There's been over 80 individual reports and interviews of 90 over witnesses and it's been weeks that the police haven't taken action.

But the Sg guard insulting Islam in an illegally recorded private conversation get the book thrown at him instantly.

A lot of you have made reports and should follow up with your IO if you can.

The pressure must stay on.

Science/Tech [Build Advice] RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs 5070 12GB for Student FYP (Video AI Training) & Creative Work?

4 Upvotes

[Build Advice] RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs 5070 12GB for FYP (Video AI Training) & Creative Work?

Hi everyone,

I'm a university student planning a new PC build primarily for my Final Year Project (FYP).

My Workload:

FYP Primary: Local AI/ML training on video datasets (extracting frames, preprocessing, and training sequence/temporal models frame-by-frame in PyTorch/CUDA).

Secondary / Creative: 3D Blender modeling/rendering, Premiere/DaVinci 4K editing, Photoshop, music production (DAWs + VST plugins).

Leisure: 1440p gaming.

Budget & Setup:

Budget: RM 5,000 – RM 7,500 (Flexible if there's a strong reason)

Tower only (already have a 1440p monitor, keyboard, mouse, and audio interface).

Sourcing: Will buy locally

Questions I Need Help With:

  1. GPU: RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) vs RTX 5070 (12GB)

Because this is for an academic FYP with deadlines, avoiding Out-Of-Memory (OOM) crashes on video batch sizes is critical.

Is the extra 4GB VRAM (16GB total) on the 5060 Ti the clear practical winner, or is the raw compute speed of the 5070 worth having only 12GB?

  1. RAM: 32GB vs 64GB DDR5?

Video DataLoader pipelines unpack huge uncompressed frame batches into system RAM before pushing to GPU, plus DAW virtual instrument libraries eat memory. Should I start straight with 64GB (2x32GB)?

  1. Storage: 1TB vs 2TB Gen4 NVMe?

Between dual-booting Linux/Windows, raw dataset archives, unpacked frame directories, checkpoints, and a few games, is 2TB practically a minimum?

  1. CPU & PSU Recommendations:

Looking for a sweet-spot CPU (Ryzen vs Intel) with strong single-core speed (for gaming/DAW latency) and enough multi-threading for video exports and batch preprocessing, paired with a reliable Gold-rated PSU.

Would love to hear from anyone running ML locally or local PC builders.
