Rajang Port Authority club launches five-month weight loss challenge for members
Hayati (centre) chairs the annual general meeting. SIBU (June 21): The Rajang Port Authority Sports and Recreational Club (Raport) on Friday launched a five-month Weight Loss Challenge as part of its renewed commitment to promote health and wellness among its members. Raport president Hayati Kiprawi announced this during the club's 50th annual general meeting cum annual dinner at Lakis Hall, An-Nur Mosque here. Speaking to The Borneo Post, Hayati said the idea behind the challenge was 'simple yet impactful'. 'We started by weighing ourselves today during the AGM. Over the next five months, members are free to do whatever it takes, whether it's exercising, eating better, or changing habits, to lose weight. 'Then, we'll have an official weigh-in again to see the results,' she said. The challenge is open to all Raport members, with no selection or pre-qualification. Participation is entirely voluntary and self-monitored, although final results will be based on official weight records taken at the start and end of the challenge. 'This isn't about strict tracking or pressure. It's a step toward being healthier. Even I'm joining! It's meant to be fun, and there's a prize for motivation,' she added. To encourage participation, Raport is offering a RM200 hamper as a prize for the member who achieves the most significant weight loss. Hayati shared the story of Kelvin Kerry, a young Raport staff member who independently managed to lose 30kg – from 120kg to 90kg – over the past year. 'He wasn't part of any official programme, but his determination was inspiring. We hope he can serve as a mentor figure to others in this challenge,' she said. With over 80 active members, Raport hopes the programme will inspire collective effort and positive lifestyle changes among its members. 'We don't set a fixed target for weight loss. Whether you lose 3kg or 10kg, it's a win if you feel healthier and more motivated,' she said. She said beyond the Weight Loss Challenge, Raport has a full calendar of engaging activities lined up for 2025 including a cooking competition, sports tournaments, and even e-gaming events like Mobile Legends, which will be introduced for the first time this year. 'We want to move beyond just participating, we want to win. Whether it's cooking, futsal, badminton or even e-gaming, we're setting targets and aiming to place,' said Hayati. She also expressed her intention for Raport to be more active and competitive in external tournaments this year and to bring back the winning spirit the club was once known for. 'It's not just about medals. It's about engagement, pride, and building community. We're evolving – with traditional and modern games alike,' she said. Hayati said as the club celebrates its 50th year, it is confident that these new programmes will not only boost health awareness but also rekindle camaraderie and active participation across its growing membership.

RM200,000 allocated under RTP 2026 for further upgrades at Kota Sentosa Hospital
Yap (front, sixth left) gets ready to lead the ribbon-cutting ceremony. KUCHING (June 21): An allocation of RM200,000 under the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) 2026 grant has been disbursed for further upgrading works on Kota Sentosa Hospital. This was announced by Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap at a recent ceremony held to mark the completion of an earlier RTP project worth RM400,000 at the hospital. 'This project may seem modest in scale, but its impact has been truly significant, addressing two critical needs of the hospital that have long required urgent attention,' he said. The completed project involved the construction of 40 new carpark spots complete with earthworks, bitumen-surfacing, carpark line painting, and drainage works, resolving a long-standing parking shortage for staff and visitors. Additionally, the occupational therapy and rehabilitation hall was comprehensively upgraded with full electrical rewiring, 11 new split-unit air-conditioners, new windows, a renovated stage and backdrop, a brick wall partition for an office and counselling room, and repainting throughout the facility. 'These improvements have created a more conducive, safe, and comfortable environment for both staff and patients,' added Yap. The assemblyman also expressed appreciation to the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP), the implementing agency, for completing the project on time and in accordance with the set specifications. 'As the elected representative for Kota Sentosa, I remain deeply committed to fighting for more funding to ensure that our public health facilities are not left behind,' he said. Yap stressed that another RM200,000 would be channelled under RTP 2026 for additional urgent works on the hospital. Kota Sentosa Hospital lead RTP upgrade Wilfred Yap

Johor KPDN busts LPG misappropriation syndicate, seizes goods worth RM200,000
KLUANG: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) in Johor has crippled a syndicate misappropriating subsidised liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) operating under the guise of a palm oil weighing centre in Machap on Wednesday. Its director, Lilis Saslinda Pornomo, said the scheme was uncovered during a joint raid with the Putrajaya branch at 8 pm, during which they discovered 1,176 gas cylinders, both empty and filled, estimated to weigh 4,000 kilogrammes (kg) and worth RM200,000. Also found at the premises was a lorry tank. 'The modus operandi of the syndicate is using an old storage facility behind the palm oil collection and weighing centre to transfer subsidised 14kg LPG into a lorry tank using a method known as decanting. 'It is believed that the misappropriated gas was intended for industrial use. Further investigation is underway to determine whether it was meant for the local market or otherwise,' she told a press conference here today. Two workers, a local and an Indonesian national, both in their 30s, were also arrested following the raid. The case is being investigated under the Control of Supplies Act 1961.
