Hydrogen-powered ART to solve Kuching's traffic woes
Published on: Friday, July 18, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 18, 2025 By: David Thien Text Size: A picture of a Kuching ART. KUCHING: Sarawak is capitalising on its hydrogen production economy to power its public transportation system starting from its State capital here. The Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) is to serve as the backbone of the public transport system in Greater Kuching. Advertisement Traffic congestion in Kuching during rush hours is getting worse, making it taxingly inconvenient with all the road construction to prepare the dedicated lanes for the Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART). ART was touted as a solution to the traffic congestion problem in Kuching. Visiting participants to the International Energy Week (IEW) 2025, held at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) on July 15-17, 2025 dubbed 'Borneo's Biggest International Energy Expo & Summit', found the road congestion experience taxing their patience.

Murderbot Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 11, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated July 11, 2025, 11:36 IST If you binged Murderbot Season 1 on Apple TV+ and loved watching Alexander Skarsgård play a sarcastic android who'd rather stream soap operas than save humans, you're probably itching for news about Season 2. The sci-fi gem, based on Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries , wrapped its first season on July 11, 2025, and fans are already buzzing about what's next. So, let's dive into everything we know about Murderbot Season 2—release date speculation, who's coming back, and what the story might hold. Murderbot Season 2 Potential Release Date Alright, Apple's playing coy with the release date, so we're stuck guessing for now. Season 1 took about 14 months from filming (March 2024) to hitting screens (May 2025). If they stick to that pace—and fingers crossed they do—Season 2 might start shooting early 2026. That could mean new episodes around June or July 2026. we are betting on a Friday drop, probably with a two-episode premiere like last time, because that's Apple's style. But, like, don't quote me on that—production delays are a thing. Keep your eyes peeled on Apple TV+'s X account for the real deal. Murderbot Season 2 Expected Cast The cast of Season 1 brought Murderbot's world to life, and most of the main players should return. Here's who we expect to see: Alexander Skarsgård as Murderbot : The star of the show, Skarsgård nails the grumpy, self-hacked SecUnit who's more into Sanctuary Moon than small talk. He's also an executive producer, so he's locked in. Noma Dumezweni as Dr. Mensah : Murderbot's favorite human, Mensah is the kind-hearted leader of the PreservationAux team. Their bond is a big part of the story. David Dastmalchian as Gurathin : The techy, augmented human who starts off suspicious of Murderbot but grows to respect it. Sabrina Wu as Pin-Lee : A scientist with a knack for lawyering and a knack for getting under Murderbot's skin—in a good way. Akshay Khanna as Ratthi : The overly friendly team member who keeps trying to buddy up with Murderbot, much to its annoyance. Tattiawna Jones as Arada : A sweet but impulsive scientist who's dating Pin-Lee. Tamara Podemski as Bharadwaj: Another PreservationAux member who adds depth to the crew. Could we see new faces? Maybe. Fans are hyped about the possibility of ART, the snarky AI from the books, showing up. Some Reddit threads even suggest Alan Tudyk as a dream voice for ART, but nothing's confirmed. If Season 2 pulls from later books, we might meet other characters, too, though Apple's keeping casting news under wraps for now. Murderbot Season 2 Potential Plot Season 1 stuck close to All Systems Red , the first Murderbot Diaries book. We met Murderbot, a SecUnit who hacked its own governor module to go rogue (sort of), while protecting a team of scientists on a sketchy planet. It uncovered a corporate conspiracy, fought off threats, and wrestled with its newfound freedom—all while grumbling about humans. The finale left things open, with Murderbot off on its own but clearly not done with its story. So, what's next? Season 2 could go a couple of ways. The second book, Artificial Condition , follows Murderbot digging into its past, specifically a mysterious massacre at a mining facility that pushed it to hack itself. But that story introduces mostly new characters, which might feel jarring after Season 1's tight-knit crew. Instead, some fans and outlets like Fully Booked think the show might jump to Exit Strategy , the fourth book. In that one, Murderbot reunites with Dr. Mensah, who's been kidnapped by the shady GrayCris Corporation. Cue a high-stakes rescue mission packed with action and Murderbot's signature sass.

DAP's seat increase opposition shows lack of vision for Sarawak, says SUPP woman
Tnay claims that DAP 'opposes any matters or decisions beneficial to Sarawak's development', reflecting what she described as the opposition party's 'typical peninsula-centric mindset'. KUCHING (July 11): Sarawak Democratic Action Party's (DAP) opposition to the proposed increase in state seats suggests it lacks commitment to improving services for the people or envisioning a better Sarawak, said Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) Batu Kitang secretary Amy Tnay. She claimed that DAP 'opposes any matters or decisions beneficial to Sarawak's development', reflecting what she described as the opposition party's 'typical peninsula-centric mindset'. 'The State Legislative Assembly merely proposed and passed a bill to increase seats, paving the way for the Election Commission to delineate new constituencies,' she said in a statement yesterday. 'No specific regions were mentioned or finalised for delineation, and DAP's resistance even at this preliminary stage demonstrates its opposition to Sarawak's need for greater representation.' She added that such an exercise aligns with the demands of changing times including urban development and population growth, enabling more effective regional development and public services. Tnay said at present, state assemblypersons are tasked with overseeing large constituencies with significant populations, making it challenging to deliver effective development and services throughout their tenure By dividing densely populated and rapidly developing areas into new constituencies, she said the original scope of representation could be shared by two elected representatives instead of one, thereby enhancing service delivery and development for residents. 'However, if DAP assemblymen lack the drive to actively bring development and serve the public, the size or population of their constituencies becomes irrelevant.' Tnay further criticised DAP's inconsistency, stating that while the party often highlights Sarawak's infrastructure shortcomings, it simultaneously opposes initiatives such as the Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) system and new airport construction. 'They lament the hardships faced by the people but support the federal decision to expand the scope of the Sales and Services Tax (SST),' she said. She also noted DAP Sarawak's silence on key federal matters, including the Education Ministry's lack of transparency regarding the costs of the national flag badge programme despite previously expressing concern over state expenditure. 'The Sarawak government remains resolute in its stance to increase not just state seats to foster better development and services for Sarawak and its people, but also parliamentary seats to align with the Malaysia Agreement 1963, ensuring Sarawak and Sabah each has one-third representation in Parliament,' she said. amy tnay dap increase state seats lead oppose SUPP
