13m whale skeleton set to be S'wak museum attraction
KUCHING: A 13m-long whale skeleton is set to go on display following its acquisition by the Sarawak Museum Department. State Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the Sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis) was initially found dead and drifting near Pulau Seduku in the Sri Aman division in November. He said it was the third whale specimen in the department's collection and the largest to date. "We will find a place for it, either in the Borneo Cultures Museum or the Natural History Museum. "It will be an interesting exhibit," he told reporters after chairing a Sarawak Heritage Council meeting here on Wednesday (June 18). The whale carcass was first reported by area residents on social media on Nov 19. ALSO READ: Dead whale found in Sarawak is Sei whale, says Sarawak Forestry Four days later, a team from Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) discovered the heavily decomposed carcass trapped around the construction site of a bridge near the Triso Ferry. The Museum Department subsequently obtained the skeleton through collaboration with the Sri Aman Resident Office, Lingga and Sebuyau district offices, SFC, Fire and Rescue Department, police and the local community. Now part of the museum's zoology collection, the specimen holds significant value for research and exhibition. Karim also said a set of traditional goldsmithing tools nearly a century old was recently donated to the department by Teo Keng Boon, the grandson of well-known goldsmith Teo Chai Seng. He said the set comprised machinery, hand tools, a work station, gas canister, vault and the original shop signboard. The equipment was used to shape gold bars into plates and wires to be fashioned into jewellery. "Entirely operated by hand, the tools are estimated to be over 90 years old. "The goldsmith's shop was located at China Street here and ceased operations in 2005," Karim said. In addition, he said two copper pots estimated to be over 70 years old were donated to the department by Surau Darul Falah at Kampung Tupong here. He said the pots were used by the villagers to cook rice, porridge and other dishes during communal events.

Dark clouds hang over Mayo GAA for another year after particularly painful Championship exit
WE may be halfway through our summer — but in Mayo it's already winter. The weather may have been hit or miss so far but for the 12 teams left in the All-Ireland SFC, the mercury is rising. Advertisement Another disappointing Championship, brings Moore 'what ifs' after Ciarán Moore's score for Donegal after the hooter And the off-season in Mayo never passes without some sort of circus. The debrief after their fruitless 2023 and 2024 campaigns saw in-depth reviews go on for months, much to the frustration of their demanding supporters. The nature of Sunday's loss at Dr Hyde Park last Sunday — when Fergal Boland equalised for the Connacht men with 20 seconds remaining before his side lost the resulting kickout and Moore pounced — was one contributory factor. Advertisement Read More On GAA But That three-point loss at MacHale Park was one of their worst performances in recent times and it will take a while to wipe the slate clean. Galway That was always going to be a tough pill to swallow but surely a loss like that can fire you up? Advertisement Most read in GAA Football However, the worst part of this sorry tale is that Mayo appeared to down tools against Cavan. Kevin McStay suffered a health scare after that game and was 'Just in time for Father's Day' - Dublin GAA legends welcome the birth of precious baby daughter It means the county are heading into months of uncertainty. It remains to be seen if McStay will remain on for a fourth campaign after coach and former boss Stephen Rochford temporarily took the reins last month. Rochford led them to the 2016 and 2017 All-Ireland finals where they agonisingly fell short against Dublin. Advertisement Still, the Crossmolina clubman got a tune from them this term as they stunned Tyrone in the second round before Sunday's one-point loss to Donegal saw them finish bottom of Group 1. He may be sick of the torment that comes with the job and there are questions over some stars' futures. 1 Will stalwarts like Aidan O'Shea soldier on for another year? Will Aidan O'Shea go again? He turns 35 at the end of the month and has soldiered with his county through thick and thin since 2009. Advertisement Diarmuid O'Connor's shoulder injury following a bruising tackle from Galway's Cillian Ó Curraoin in an NFL clash in February was a major spanner in the works and as a result, the Ballintubber ace never got a clean run. And what about his brother Cillian? The Championship's all-time leading scorer Mayo missed him too, relying far too much on Ryan O'Donoghue for scores. Paddy Durcan was on the back foot all year as well after tearing his ACL last summer. Advertisement He returned to his brilliant best against the Red Hands but the panel no longer has the depth to cope with losing a player of his calibre. January seems like a million miles away, but amid another sunny spell across the country, the dark clouds are again on the horizon in Mayo.
