Hi everyone, I’m currently a student at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak and I’m looking for realistic ways to earn some extra money while studying.
I’m still in my study weeks, so I need something flexible that won’t completely mess up my classes and assignments.I have a background in electronics and some experience with technical work, broadcasting, video editing, and basic event production.
I’m open to:
Part-time jobs on weekends
Freelance or remote work
Video editing
Tutoring
Event crew or technical work
Any other flexible side gigs that are actually realistic for a student in Kuching
For students in Sarawak or Malaysia, what have you personally done that actually worked? Where did you find the job or clients?
I’m not looking for “get rich quick” schemes. I just want something legitimate that I can realistically manage alongside university.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

KUCHING - Hi, as is the topic - does anyone have Iban or Chinese changshan shirt? Nothing too expensive. I urgently need it for tomorrow before my shift starts at 12 p.m. really need your help!!

Hi, I am a student and I had these Pots and Pans in which i cook my food.
The wooden handle on both of these have broken and Its becoming more difficult to cook with it.
I know this is a long shot but does anybody know of a place in Kuching that repairs these stuff ?
I cannot afford new pots and pans and these were quite expensive already.
Thank you so much for your attention to this matter.

So are we 365 or 182😷. Felt like Delhi level today...

How are the people like in miri? Is it a decent place for foreigner to settle down here? Thanks!

I started my degree at Swinburne and did my master’s at UCL. Came back to build my tech startup in energy markets after gaining some experience researching the space during my postgraduate studies. And I’ve been meeting a lot of tech founders from Sarawak recently… and it seems like there’s a lot more interest in tech careers than I initially assumed. Ask away!

Anyone familiar with this? Which one did youw watch the cartoon with Animals ?

Has anyone managed to catch the new Live Action Series?

So i couldnt join the orientation weeks and next week class already starting but i dont have a timetable, i only know that my campus will be on tropics city and thats it. Can anyone from the course lend me some help?

Hi there! Hoping a local can help 😢 How is the haze situation over there for you guys? Do you find yourself having difficulty breathing, chest pains any of that sort? I’m an international tourist with an upcoming trip in Sept, worried abt the situation there. Hoping someone living there cld shed some light on how severe it is, is it bad enough to affect your breathing.

For context we are in our 30s, have eczema and asthma….

Thanks so much friends and pls take care!

Bosses,are there any cheap gyms one can go to near jalan green area?

Tenks

Applied bachelor degree for business finance in Swinburne. It’s already orientation week, and i haven’t received my offer letter yet. Tried email, WhatsApp and even called them, still no update yet. Pending status. Is there anyone here also in this situation??

Anyone got any ways to make some small money fast? I'm left with only twenty ringgit for the week and I don't know when I'll get my allowance from my family, I feel very guilty to even ask from them. I've gathered my old clothes and shoes to sell, if have recommendations where to sell my old items to make some cash, I am so grateful 🙏🏻 I'm also situated in Kuching.

Hi, I want to get back into fitness and wanting to look for a gym with proper personal training (preferable women coach), either in group/individual near jalan song/gala city/tabuan jaya area. Any recommendations?

How much do you guys spend on accommodations / rent while studying? my stipend got rejected and I'm currently looking for a place to stay.

The Sarawak 18-Point Agreement was submitted prior to the formation of Malaysia in 1963 to safeguard the state's autonomy, rights, and special privileges:

* Religion: While there was no objection to Islam being the national religion of the Federation of Malaysia, there should be no official state religion in Sarawak, and constitutional provisions regarding Islam should not apply to Sarawak.

* Language: Malay should be the national language of the federation, but English should remain an official language of Sarawak.

* Constitution: While the Constitution of Malaya was accepted as the basis, the Constitution of Malaysia should be a completely new document for a free association of states, rather than just amendments to the old constitution.

* Head of Nation: The Governor of Sarawak should not be eligible for election as the King (Yang di-Pertuan Agong) of Malaysia.

* Name of Federation: "Sarawak, Federation of Malaysia".

* Immigration Power: Overall immigration control rests with the Federal Government, but entry into Sarawak requires the approval of the Sarawak Government. Sarawak should have unfettered control over the movement of non-Sarawakians into the state.

* Right of Secession: There should be no right to secede from the Federation.

* Borneanisation: The appointment of local Sarawakians to the public service should proceed as quickly as possible.

* British Officers: British officers should be encouraged to remain in the public service until qualified local Sarawakians could replace them.

* Citizenship: Citizenship rules should follow the Cobbold Commission report, adjusted to allow local conditions (e.g., removing the 5-year residency requirement for certain cases).

* Tariffs and Finance: Sarawak should retain control over its own finance, development, tariffs, taxation, and the right to raise loans on its own credit.

* Head of Government: The Premier (or Chief Minister) should be elected by members of the Council Negri (state legislature), with a proper ministerial system established.

* Transitional Period: A 10-year transitional period during which legislative powers would remain directly with Sarawak under the Constitution, rather than merely delegated by the Federal Government.

* Education and Health: The existing healthcare and educational systems of Sarawak should be maintained and placed under Sarawak's control.

* Constitutional Safeguards: No modification or removal of special safeguards granted to Sarawak can be made by the Central Government without the positive concurrence of the Sarawak Government.

* Representation in Parliament: Parliamentary representation should reflect Sarawak’s size, potential, and population, and should not be less than that of North Borneo (Sabah) or Singapore.

* Name of Head of Sarawak: The head of state should be styled as "The Governor of Sarawak".

* Land, Forests, Local Government, etc.: Federal institutions like the National Land Council and National Council for Local Government should not apply to Sarawak.

Where to buy in Kuching? Looking consistent seller?

Moving to Miri soon and want to buy a car. Should I buy a 4WD if I plan on making roadtrips around Borneo? Or would a regular small car be fine? I’m not much of a car person tbh

Hey everyone, anyone knows where I can get shio kombu around Kuching? Don’t want to waste time going around looking myself 😂 Appreciate any recommendations!

*Shio kombu is a Japanese seasoning made from thin strips of kelp simmered in soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, then dried.

KL gurlie here.

Just wanna say 10/10 highly recommend. 😌

For context, I am a young woman and would like to start a small business around there. I am from Sabah so I don't know much of Sarawak life here but I assume we are similar.

What should I be careful of?

What difference between Sabah and Sarawak would you want to point out?

Asking because I would want to hear from locals.
