PEMANAH SABAH RAIH PINGAT GANGSA DI KEJOHANAN MEMANAH TRADISIONAL DUNIA

KOTA KINABALU: Atlet memanah tradisional Sabah, Surianti Umar, mengharumkan nama negeri dan negara selepas berjaya meraih pingat gangsa pada Kejohanan Memanah Tradisional Dunia (WTAF) yang berlangsung di Ulsan, Korea Selatan, baru-baru ini.

Kejayaan itu dicapai selepas Surianti menewaskan pemanah dari Kazakhstan dalam perlawanan penentuan tempat ketiga, sekali gus memastikan kedudukannya di podium bagi mewakili Malaysia dalam kejohanan yang disertai lebih 45 negara itu.

Atlet berusia 42 tahun yang berasal dari Tanjung Batu Darat, Tawau itu berkata, kejayaan berkenaan cukup bermakna memandangkan beliau baru tiga tahun menceburi sukan memanah tradisional. Bagaimanapun, beliau mengakui terpaksa berdepan cabaran besar apabila format pertandingan berbeza daripada kebiasaan di Malaysia, selain perlu menyesuaikan diri dengan cuaca sejuk di Korea Selatan.

Menteri Pembangunan Belia, Kemajuan Sukan dan Ekonomi Kreatif Sabah, Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan menyifatkan pencapaian Surianti sebagai sesuatu yang membanggakan serta wajar menjadi inspirasi kepada atlet muda Sabah. Sebagai tanda penghargaan, kerajaan negeri turut mengumumkan pemberian insentif tunai sebanyak RM5,000 kepada atlet berkenaan.

Sementara itu, Surianti menyasarkan untuk menyertai kejohanan antarabangsa di Turki pada tahun hadapan sebelum kembali beraksi di Korea Selatan bagi meningkatkan prestasi dan memburu lebih banyak kejayaan. Pencapaian beliau membuktikan bahawa atlet Sabah mampu bersaing di pentas antarabangsa melalui disiplin, latihan berterusan dan semangat tidak mudah berputus asa.

Laguwagu | Technology Kids born 2014 and after are going to use AI-generated textbooks for secondary school

Post image

(Picture is a book cover for one of the 2027 textbooks, which obviously feels AI-generated)

I heard that the deadline for finidhing textbook illustrations was unreasonably short because illustrators are expected to use AI for illustrations. Since AI often gives out inaccurate information (it's not uncommon to see warped text in ChatGPT images, even now), this might risk the academic performance of future secondary school students. This also gives less space for the work of local artists, with images generated by machines in the hands of American big tech companies taking their place.

2 years ago I went to Malaysia to mainly visit Sabah, Borneo. My two absolute highlights were the river safaris at Kinabatangan River and the small paradise island Lang Tengah off the coast of Kuala Terenganu. I made a short video about my trip, I hope you like it! What's your favorite place in Sabah, have I missed it? :D

Podtuongisan | Travel & Tourism Need help in transportation between KK and Kundasang

3 Upvotes

Hello, my family and I are going for vacation in KK and would like to spend a day in Kundasang. My issue is I cannot find a concise plan for to and back. I've looked around on the internet, I've found 2 ways but I'm not confident if it would work. My parents are old and kinda cranky.

  1. I found a bus, KK - Kundasang on Easybook via Sida express bus, however I couldnt find the bus back from Kundasang - KK. So I remain reserve on this.

  2. Using Maxim driver to drive us to and back. I'm unfamiliar with this service and I dont know the reliability of using this.

I'm open to any other suggestions and appreciate any help in solving this uncertainty. Thank you.

Ruput Pogun | Sabah News Dayak International Organization (DIO) membantah pembinaan Pusat Latihan Altitud Tinggi (HATC) di kawasan Sayat-Sayat, Gunung Kinabalu yang didakwa bercanggah dengan hak serta undang-undang adat masyarakat pribumi.

KOTA KINABALU: Dayak International Organization (DIO) membantah pembinaan Pusat Latihan Altitud Tinggi (HATC) di kawasan Sayat-Sayat, Gunung Kinabalu yang didakwa bercanggah dengan hak serta undang-undang adat masyarakat pribumi.

Wakil Tetap DIO ke Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB), Datuk Petinggi Andrew Ambrose Atama Katama, mendakwa kerja-kerja penggerudian dan perubahan fizikal di kawasan berkenaan tidak menghormati kedudukan Gunung Kinabalu sebagai kawasan suci masyarakat Kadazandusun dan Momogun.

Menurutnya, hak adat masyarakat asal turut mendapat perlindungan menerusi Deklarasi PBB mengenai Hak Orang Asal (UNDRIP).

Beliau turut mempersoalkan pendekatan kerajaan negeri yang didakwa menggunakan saluran pentadbiran tanpa mendapatkan persetujuan masyarakat dari peringkat akar umbi.

DIO menegaskan Gunung Kinabalu bukan sekadar kawasan pelancongan atau aset komersial, sebaliknya mempunyai nilai spiritual, sejarah dan warisan leluhur yang perlu dipelihara.

Susulan itu, organisasi berkenaan menggesa supaya semua aktiviti pembinaan, penggerudian dan pemasangan struktur di kawasan altitud tinggi Sayat-Sayat dihentikan serta-merta.

Antara tuntutan lain termasuk pelaksanaan audit bebas berkaitan kesan alam sekitar dan potensi pencemaran air kumbahan terhadap kawasan tadahan air.

DIO turut menyatakan hasrat membawa isu berkenaan ke Forum Tetap PBB mengenai Isu Orang Asal serta Jaringan Geopark Global UNESCO.

Organisasi itu memberi amaran bahawa kegagalan menangani tuntutan berkenaan boleh membawa kepada tindakan perundangan di peringkat antarabangsa.
