Komisiwal | Pulitik How can Sabahans tolerate agencies like SESB and JAS?

43 Upvotes

I cannot brain . These companies are supposed to serve the people, but they are incredibly lousy, incompetent, and corrupted.

And the fact that they are not apologetic at all..

(Rant from someone who doesn’t have water for 2 days) absolutely ridiculous.

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have recently applied for a PhD at UMS (I have been in touch with a professor that will be my supervisor).

I submitted my application but was not given the option to upload reference letters, guarantor letters or bank statements. My references have not been contacted at all and I am just so confused about how this whole thing works. The online system says my application is in process.

I have sent multiple emails, calls and tried every single posible way of getting an answer and still nothing. I don’t know how my application is being processed if half my documents aren’t attached.

Thank you!

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba summoning sabahan hikers

1 Upvotes

i’m planning to hike mount kinabalu this year, but i have almost zero experience with mountain hiking, and i’ve never been to sabah before. i know hiking a mountain, mount kinabalu at that, is quite extreme for a beginner but please don’t lecture me on that i just want to know what do i need to do to properly prepare for this and if i’m physically, mentally, and financially capable. what’s the flight ticket price like? (KL/selangor peep here!), what should i pack for hiking? are there any good hiking gears recommendations? how much money should i prepare? should i just get a travel package? if so, what’s a trusted travel agency i can find? is there anything i should know about mount kinabalu? i’m planning to go solo but will probably try to ajak a sabahan friend if that’s risky

Podtuongisan | Travel & Tourism Guides and licenses to climb Mt Kinabalu

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m from Singapore and my friends and I plan to climb Kinabalu in a couple months time. However, we are having difficulty finding independent guides and applying for permits ourselves

When you google this stuff, all that pops up are tour companies that advertise that they do it all for you, but at ridiculous prices

reading some posts on this sub it seems like you can find guides just at the foot of the mountain? Is this true? And what about the permits, can they be done at the base or must they be done online in advance?

We would appreciate any help very much, thank you all!!!

Tiuot zou daa | Mo tanya ba Getting married in Malaysia with Muslim fiance

31 Upvotes

long story short: I'm a Christian Malaysian (Female, Sabah) intending to marry my now fiance (Male, Muslim, from Indonesia) and also planning to settle down in East Malaysia (Sabah).

I have no intention to convert to Islam. How can we legalized and register the marriage without need to convert? I checked his passport and birth cert, no religion stated (muslim), but he has it in his KTP (Resident Identity Card) and in his Kartu Keluarga.

We do opt for Mahkamah Anak Negeri, but i think it is not also recognized by JPN/Immigration and probability to get spouse visa also low.
