Bebas Kuching (Pewarta) and DayakDaily for having continue to work together with Business Events Sarawak (BE Sarawak) for the third year to
bring secondhand books to our folks in rural areas.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They have also expressed the hope of setting up reading corners and
libraries for the residents in some of the remotest parts of Sarawak.
The first programme they had jointly undertaken was the "Gift of Love" which was launched in 2016.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The community related programme is a good way for the business event industry to connect
with local communities and create a positive reading culture among children and
teenagers by improving their access to educational resources. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dayak Daily first collaborated with BE Sarawak and Pewarta in 2022 to deliver over 1,000
books to SK Lusong Laku for the Penan children while in 2023 there were 1,000 storybooks and two big bags of soft toys to the Orang Ulu community in Ulu
Belaga. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">For this year, over 1,000 secondhand books and three boxes of soft toys are to be delivered
to the Long Latei Penan Service Centre in Ulu Baram which will bring smiles and empower young minds in rural
Sarawak through the provision of secondhand books.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTVY6K9ldb3Ea_KHN27LKXfZUbHnjuEVck85sQDjB3G_JYOYmd-v5Hu02myPAmcwzzMTYY2Bo1tQ_pUpsXCmBMmJsbwXIdOQNmzoBgX11ucc2qpHVjvbFLvdMEw-VE_qvHfjDknM9BvhDNHAXixPHUaVS-C51HL78hh3F3Ji8KZSsKcoqNx-TJx-AhodHR/s1284/Dayak%20Daily%20Donate%20Books%20Photo2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1077" data-original-width="1284" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTVY6K9ldb3Ea_KHN27LKXfZUbHnjuEVck85sQDjB3G_JYOYmd-v5Hu02myPAmcwzzMTYY2Bo1tQ_pUpsXCmBMmJsbwXIdOQNmzoBgX11ucc2qpHVjvbFLvdMEw-VE_qvHfjDknM9BvhDNHAXixPHUaVS-C51HL78hh3F3Ji8KZSsKcoqNx-TJx-AhodHR/s320/Dayak%20Daily%20Donate%20Books%20Photo2.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhamt5W4TkOK8zarUAs7rhOCiHL794FkXWrnhLMLyyUwhuctIOjYzLvhVpsYEEZX5jsV5s2qWnv9W_wSODgKexWGrllCwi2Jcafd572p6ZYyB-4hEm80Ovc2lwfLgqssbR_z1dN4mbh0QEhl1cEiReFj3RQEuxnl1fiK29uUC0sB9Ld2KZufW6rDR7hm1tI/s1284/Dayak%20Daily%20Donate%20Books%20Photo3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhamt5W4TkOK8zarUAs7rhOCiHL794FkXWrnhLMLyyUwhuctIOjYzLvhVpsYEEZX5jsV5s2qWnv9W_wSODgKexWGrllCwi2Jcafd572p6ZYyB-4hEm80Ovc2lwfLgqssbR_z1dN4mbh0QEhl1cEiReFj3RQEuxnl1fiK29uUC0sB9Ld2KZufW6rDR7hm1tI/s1284/Dayak%20Daily%20Donate%20Books%20Photo3.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkDLSkRBIDEmb_uzqURB3CwdYL5cXlaS5_97XtfM-ed_bQDiPDff4VvE6vRD2CybWhyphenhyphenRiK3_9exDpCvFJP2HlRAJzox781LTkVQz1dpLpp29Sf1ukou29g2FLb0sOAR-1SJfrM8Jt5lfMGzbMXogpZ2iGTQdb-2Jw4KhKeN0FRCS9KzPUUw72tP6ljFSVy/s1284/Dayak%20Daily%20Donate%20Books%20Photo.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="963" data-original-width="1284" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkDLSkRBIDEmb_uzqURB3CwdYL5cXlaS5_97XtfM-ed_bQDiPDff4VvE6vRD2CybWhyphenhyphenRiK3_9exDpCvFJP2HlRAJzox781LTkVQz1dpLpp29Sf1ukou29g2FLb0sOAR-1SJfrM8Jt5lfMGzbMXogpZ2iGTQdb-2Jw4KhKeN0FRCS9KzPUUw72tP6ljFSVy/s320/Dayak%20Daily%20Donate%20Books%20Photo.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><img border="0" data-original-height="963" data-original-width="1284" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhamt5W4TkOK8zarUAs7rhOCiHL794FkXWrnhLMLyyUwhuctIOjYzLvhVpsYEEZX5jsV5s2qWnv9W_wSODgKexWGrllCwi2Jcafd572p6ZYyB-4hEm80Ovc2lwfLgqssbR_z1dN4mbh0QEhl1cEiReFj3RQEuxnl1fiK29uUC0sB9Ld2KZufW6rDR7hm1tI/s320/Dayak%20Daily%20Donate%20Books%20Photo3.jpeg" width="320" /></div><br /><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>ybkarimsayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18095860079851343892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132464340543729211.post-41846989070589528012024-03-12T10:05:00.001+08:002024-03-18T11:32:52.994+08:00Over 200 tourism related events & activities in Sarawak's Calendar of Events 2024 (CoE2024)<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: inherit;">There are over 200 tourism related events which are scheduled to be held throughout Sarawak in this year’s Calendar of Events (CoE2024).

These include hotels and accommodation, karaoke centres, massage parlours, night joints and private clubs, golf clubs and hire car/charter buses and domestic flights.</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: DroidSerif, serif;"><span style="color: white;">The Ministry of Finance (MoF) had recently announced that the new rate only focuses on discretionary activities and business-to-business services.

It will be a challenge to stage the coming Sukma XXI because of the large number of sports and games involved which is more than the regional games such as ASEAN Games and Asian Games.

Thus, we spoke a lot on the forthcoming "Sambir Cup" football tournament which is an annual event that is being held at Kampung Sambir as part of the hari raya celebrations for local villagers there.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The event is also one of the oldest football events in Kuching and Samarahan divisions whereby the tradition has been upheld until present day. There are a lot of football teams from outside Asajaya had participated in the exciting event and it is great to see how they have enjoyed taking part just for the fun of it. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The opening match is in a way unique simply because it is held on either the second or third day of hari raya. Apart from looking forward to the traditional house to house visits, the local folks in Kampung Sambir have the opportunity to see their favourite teams compete for top honours in the football tournament.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7UVA6mGiPCzZx0vHwQluS6eOcTPtvkqR-pOX1GJI8PvpSxxOeWQIBWFfVppcOSDfhlwW0EQCrEOfErhG0hFPNVSlcLJZDrtFj0sTvrXgfak5fnK2AyAxDeUO2wnJq-SzkCm2zIdk2XlFIiWaRJf70zAqAwvvnkxXcycOOD9rATGQVXGaQAhU5sAIcOxwU/s4032/3DCD2253-F9FE-4AB5-A9ED-F1929811E4C8.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7UVA6mGiPCzZx0vHwQluS6eOcTPtvkqR-pOX1GJI8PvpSxxOeWQIBWFfVppcOSDfhlwW0EQCrEOfErhG0hFPNVSlcLJZDrtFj0sTvrXgfak5fnK2AyAxDeUO2wnJq-SzkCm2zIdk2XlFIiWaRJf70zAqAwvvnkxXcycOOD9rATGQVXGaQAhU5sAIcOxwU/s320/3DCD2253-F9FE-4AB5-A9ED-F1929811E4C8.JPEG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyPEU8N0r47WdOurgeLnt-GGdFcyI2IaPNP3_-YhPU_rVP6C4EJhQZLCDhFeE_wa6A9gjOrbCqIsXKeSauKrPdYbmLlyEtPS8qfbARpUMaLVDBqQ3ZSQ1Td8kAbcpRqoM0DXLLimwiyjjinVgShJy6vLSdPdZoXGE2ragJSQzR_s_C-8XQxke48UHER7O/s2543/9D8F2D15-EAA2-403E-9429-16D70261232D.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2132" data-original-width="2543" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyPEU8N0r47WdOurgeLnt-GGdFcyI2IaPNP3_-YhPU_rVP6C4EJhQZLCDhFeE_wa6A9gjOrbCqIsXKeSauKrPdYbmLlyEtPS8qfbARpUMaLVDBqQ3ZSQ1Td8kAbcpRqoM0DXLLimwiyjjinVgShJy6vLSdPdZoXGE2ragJSQzR_s_C-8XQxke48UHER7O/s320/9D8F2D15-EAA2-403E-9429-16D70261232D.JPEG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjct_9CKy4bkm_Dy2hv7JUKfVQ5KVoXhL4R6ViLAzpaP6z16ehDn1Mop1qU0DlnJc1BQjuwA2lZwc3LDh0e-5ooYODYnJDQSe6r8BjB1IPp-vIiVxloGGwsFSan71nWiLV-QNtSA7BYPAadrm_NY_XAyhwXIYwfr6TIt0MK0pauuEJtEGIiXpgQ_rLRjDMF/s4032/72B82165-CAA9-4F47-B857-4CADFED672F3.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjct_9CKy4bkm_Dy2hv7JUKfVQ5KVoXhL4R6ViLAzpaP6z16ehDn1Mop1qU0DlnJc1BQjuwA2lZwc3LDh0e-5ooYODYnJDQSe6r8BjB1IPp-vIiVxloGGwsFSan71nWiLV-QNtSA7BYPAadrm_NY_XAyhwXIYwfr6TIt0MK0pauuEJtEGIiXpgQ_rLRjDMF/s320/72B82165-CAA9-4F47-B857-4CADFED672F3.JPEG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtE3Q4Xtm7Da1Xs_n7fMmRegmsdNdjjwG37OhqybGTswghxa9-zrBwfk-rvqZEN3t7Y26nsgeZCBqnyQf446LbeANigLDyqcSwu_BKlu6J2jALK4ToWZ7EoIW-qxw-mBhdxPCW6zmjtCKCF_8zscOEYFWjcLKZxajHT4cWUtJht0690xLKG_FppPGsOlIx/s2414/F21664FD-11E4-4515-ACDC-112AAD645816.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2023" data-original-width="2414" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtE3Q4Xtm7Da1Xs_n7fMmRegmsdNdjjwG37OhqybGTswghxa9-zrBwfk-rvqZEN3t7Y26nsgeZCBqnyQf446LbeANigLDyqcSwu_BKlu6J2jALK4ToWZ7EoIW-qxw-mBhdxPCW6zmjtCKCF_8zscOEYFWjcLKZxajHT4cWUtJht0690xLKG_FppPGsOlIx/s320/F21664FD-11E4-4515-ACDC-112AAD645816.JPEG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>ybkarimsayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18095860079851343892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1132464340543729211.post-48971553696125270992024-01-23T12:41:00.002+08:002024-01-23T12:41:53.349+08:00Visit by the outgoing Consul General of Negara Brunei Darulsalam to Kuching, Sarawak<p style="text-align: justify;">We wish all the best to the outgoing Consul General of Negara Brunei Darulsalam, Her Excellency Puan Noni Zurainah Haji Ismi who recently paid a visit to our office. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Her Excellency had been stationed in Kuching since three years ago and will soon be assuming a new post abroad.

I had the opportunity to meet them briefly recently after having visited the family home of the late Ketua Kampung (KK) Matthew Pawi Anak Puti who passed away on 21 January. </p><p>I have extended our deepest condolences to the next of kin who was led by Puan Ritty Anak Dagang, the wife of the late KK Matthew. He was the village headman since 2015 and was well respected by the Ibans folks there, the largest community living in Kampung Moyan Ledang.</p><p>Most of the villagers are happy with the ongoing road widening project which will accommodate more heavy traffic coming into their area and to enable them to drive about smoothly soon.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We are targeting junior readers aged five to 10, features tales from five ethnic groups namely the Ibans, Bidayuhs, Melanau, Chinese and the Punans. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: white;">Stories of cultural significance like these will enable the children to comprehend the cultural nuances as they grow.

The new museum which will be another tourism attraction in the city is 86 per cent completed and is expected to be opened to the public before the end of 2024.</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">According to the Premier, the dockyard was once a thriving shipyard and had undergone a transformation into a historical site with deep ties to Sarawak’s maritime and shipbuilding history founded during the Brooke family reign.</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">In fact, the museum was proposed by the Premier himself during his tenure as Sarawak's former tourism minister.</p><p class="p1" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The dockyard was established by Sarawak's second White Rajah, Charles Brooke and it had played a crucial role in shipbuilding and repair works locally.
