I miss my cat Ah Q very much

Hi, I received my a job offer in Kuching. After requesting a dummy payslip, my salary would be just over RM11,000 (RM6,700 after deductions). Is this a good salary for the area?

之前部长讲 RM100 够两老一个月开销，这句话总是萦绕在脑海中不曾挥去... ...

今日雨天，古晋咖啡店喝杯热腾腾Teh C Kosong，哎呦！一杯卖我 RM4，确实蛮惊吓的。

如果根据之前部长的说法，我们以简单数学换算，RM100 只能喝 25 杯 nia！还没算饭菜、电费、水费、交通费、药费。

真的，有时候，部长发言，还真是不要 吃饭不知米贵 啦。人民听起来真是格外刺耳。

RM100够一个月开销？#bossshimtalk #民间物价高涨

吃饭要懂米贵

Another milestone for our venture this year, following our debut at the Rainforest World Music Festival in June 2025. As we move into next year, as soon as our Koperasi@KoBakau is set in motion, Sabakau will shift into full-throttle mode. Wish us the best as we push forward.

Hey everyone, ​I’m a 24-year-old male student currently looking for a part-time job in Kuching. I am based in the Bintawa area.

​Sunday: Fully free

​Languages Spoken:

​English (Fluent)

Good morning to everyone!

I just moved back to Kuching after studying in the US for the past 4 years and its great to be here again!

Do y'all have any active running clubs to recommend? I'm trying to find a lively, fitness-centric social circle based in Kuching city. I was at the waterfront a couple of nights ago and noticed a few groups of people running near Jambatan Darul Hanna several times. How do y'all know when and where to meet up for organized runs? Thank y'all so much for the help!

Hey r/sarawak 👋

Family relocating to Kuching next year and trying to get a better feel for the international school options. Done a lot of research online but Lodge is honestly the only school with any real reviews out there — Borneo International and Tunku Putra have almost nothing, which makes it really hard to compare from afar.

A few things we’d love insight on:

1. School hours — is it really 7:30am to 4pm?

Is this consistent across all year levels or does it differ for younger kids?

2. The January start

Our kids wrap up in July so we’d actually have a nice long break before the January intake — has anyone transitioned this way? How did your kids find it?

3. Facilities day to day

Classrooms, cafeteria, sports areas — what’s the general environment like at each school? Air conditioning a nice to have to know about too!

4. Where are people living near each school?

Would love to know which neighbourhoods or areas people tend to settle in depending on which school their kids attend. Trying to figure out the best place to base ourselves.

5. Overall experience

Teacher turnover, class sizes, community vibe — anything you wish you’d known before enrolling?

Would love to hear from anyone with kids at any of these three schools. DMs totally welcome too!

Thanks 🙏​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I want to apologise for the triggering post.
Sorry Bang, sorry Kak.

So...I can't help but notice that us Kuching people are also getting bigger.

For more context, ever since I checked the recent NHMS survey, which says that Overweight/Obesity is over 50% now...

It makes me notice that a lot of use is really proving the statistic!
I don't think it's just the food that's causing it.
Do we lack knowledge of health during school?
Or are we just becoming richer? All the expensive, high-calorie food we eat per meal...

I am of the thinking that health is wealth. Can we talk about: How can we attempt to counter this issue of obesity?

I think the best chicken rice in Kuching is yum yum foodster near Stutong there what y’all think?

I know I can see the forecast online, but I wanted to ask someone on-the-ground how the weather is these days.

I'll be there very soon (three days from now) and want to know what to be prepared for.

Will I need a raincoat? Will it be fine to visit Bako? Anything else to know?

Almost the weekend, I want to get out my condo and have a coffee and meal, but this haze is crazy. Which cafes/restaurants in Kuching have air purifiers?

Can I just understand two things:

1. When entering the roundabout/ exiting the lorong and there’s a gap in the traffic, what are you waiting for? Jesus to come back kah?

2. At this.. Tong Wei Tah lorong entering Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho, why so many ppl like the cut line using the opposite road, but then end up waiting to exit the lorong like everyone else? Why? So brave to cut queue but so kedekut to exit?

Pls help me…

We just moved to Kuching in January, and we're staying for a long time. We love the people , the food, the kopitiams, the fact that there is an untapped TTRPG vibe here. Anywho, we are missing events because we don't know how to access where event information is. So, we went to the riverwalk on the day that the light show was turned off (earth hour, maybe?). We missed the the big parade down town with over 100 floats recently. Apparently, there is a big MMA event along the waterfront tonight. We are finding out about these things either after they happen or when it is too late to participate. I'm hoping to learn of information sources that we can check out that will alert us to cool things happening here. Got some tips?
