SCCS aims for RM1 mln and 400 shaves in GoBald 2025
A participant shaved his head in solidarity with children battling cancer at a recent GoBald event in Kuching. KUCHING (July 2): The Sarawak Children's Cancer Society (SCCS) aims to raise RM1 million and have 400 individuals shave their heads through its GoBald event this year. In a press release, SCCs said it records between 50 to 70 new childhood cancer cases in the state each year. SCCS explained it requires approximately RM2 million annually to sustain its services, with over 70 per cent of funds directly benefiting affected children through medical sponsorships, financial aid, and specialised treatment. 'In 2024, SCCS incurred RM2.9 million in expenses, a 43 per cent increase from the previous year, largely due to critical medical aid support exceeding RM500,000. 'As of May this year, SCCS has already spent approximately RM590,000 to support 33 children and their families with essential medical needs, including specialised medication, consumables, laboratory tests, and diagnostic scans. This includes over RM496,000 in support of five-year-old Ariyana from Miri, who is battling neuroblastoma and recently underwent a bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy,' said SCCS. According to SCCS, an estimated eight more children will benefit from specialised drugs sponsored by the organisation. Amongst them are two more young patients: a five-year-old boy from Serian and a one-year-old girl from Kuching — both scheduled to undergo immunotherapy in the second half of the year. SCCS said these advanced treatments offer renewed hope of improving their treatment journeys and significantly increasing their chances of survival. 'SCCS is projected to incur an unprecedented RM1.5 million in medical-related expenses in 2025 alone,'it added. SCCS also shared this year's GoBald theme, 'Leave Your Mark', is a powerful call to action and an invitation for individuals to make a lasting impact. 'Funds raised will go toward providing critical medical aid, psychosocial support, and financial assistance to young cancer patients across Sarawak,' it added. On a related matter, SCCS said a satellite shave hosted by long-time supporter Tanahmas Hotel, initially scheduled for July 6, has now been postponed to July 27. It explained that the rescheduling aims to allow more time for the Sibu community to participate and show their support for this meaningful cause. 'Through the event, Tanahmas Hotel hopes to raise RM10,000 in support of SCCS's services for children and families affected by childhood cancer,' it added.

Negeri Sembilan records RM250.66 million in revenue as of mid-May
SEREMBAN: Negeri Sembilan recorded RM250.66 million in state revenue from January until yesterday, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun. He said the amount represents 42.48 per cent of this year's revenue target of RM590 million and is higher than the figure recorded during the same period last year. 'Negeri Sembilan also attracted investments worth RM7.25 billion last year, which led to the creation of more than 4,600 job opportunities,' he said in his speech at the State Government's 2024 Excellent Service Awards (APC), where 519 recipients were honoured today. At the event, Aminuddin also launched the official logo for Visit Negeri Sembilan Year 2026 (TMNS2026), which highlights three key tourism segments: beach tourism, ecotourism, and the cultural heritage of Adat Perpatih. He said the TMNS2026 logo symbolises the state's diverse attractions, including the beach resorts of Port Dickson, the lush rainforests at the tail end of the Titiwangsa Range which offer ecotourism experiences, and the iconic long-roof architecture representing the uniqueness of Adat Perpatih. Aminuddin added that the selection of these tourism products aligns with the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 (VM2026) campaign, which focuses on cultural richness, natural beauty, and Malaysia's global appeal. He emphasised the need to implement various strategic initiatives to achieve the target of 20 million tourist arrivals this year. These include stepping up international promotions through tourism expos, overseas sales missions, and partnerships with both domestic and international travel agents. He also urged all civil servants in the state to serve as ambassadors for TMNS2026 and to continuously improve and reform work processes to enhance the quality of public service delivery.
