这位母亲通过报障，希望热心人士可以帮助她渡过这个难关。其实帮助她并不难，据说她所住的酒店（或许不应该称为酒店，落脚处比较恰当）只需RM8。对，八零吉而已。
她的新生儿的下一次检查是在7月21日。奇怪，怎么会差这么远的？
她的新闻见报后，援手纷纷来。部分公众还有社团都乐意帮她，这社会还是处处有温情。

Helping hands 伸出援手 28-06-2009
早前有报道说以为来自布拉甲的妇女，因为肚子里的婴儿想提早出来看世界，连累妈妈花更多的钱。因为婴儿需要留院观察，妈妈也得跟着留下来，但是钱花完了，没钱住酒店，怎么办？

Burning burning 27-06-2009
基本上，这篇报导是关于农民烧芭烧及易燃物，导致火势一发不可收拾（这个是我自己加的），现场黑烟滚滚，严重污染空气。
大大的标题，清楚明示出到底发生了什么事。
看看黑烟和人车的比例，就知道那黑烟有多严重了。
其实每一年的年中，砂拉越都会面对着同样的问题，那就是烧芭所带来的后遗症，烟雾（haze）。虽然说我们的邻居也是贡献不少，但自己人也是手痒痒哦！那些部长只会叫人民不要公开焚烧，但是他们却没有教导农民如果不鼓励焚烧的话，那他们该怎么做才能够拥有肥沃的土壤？

History of Kapit
The Iban from Batang Ai and Batang Lupar migrated into the Rejang and Baleh areas while it was still under the rule of the Brunei Sultanate. In 1853, in an agreement with the Sultan of Brunei, Rajah James Brooke took the land under control of Sarawak.
The Kayan and Kenyah originally came from Kayan River valley in the eastern part of Borneo. They followed the Kayan River, crossed the Border Range from the Indonesian side to Sarawak and settled along the Batang Balui, the northern tributary of the Rejang River.
Chinese Hokkien settlers first arrived in Rejang and Baleh Basin in the 1870s followed by the Hakkas in 1906 and the Foochows in 1919.
When Fort Sylvia was built in 1880, many Chinese traders from the Baleh and other nearby regions migrated to Kapit. It was also during this time that the Malays came to Kapit.
The Methodist Church selected Kapit as its centre for missionary work among the Iban in the 1950s and 1960s. Kapit was also a centre for the Roman Catholic mission in 1882 but later came under the administration of the church in Kanowit.
On 16 November 1924, Kapit Fort (now known as Fort Sylvia) witnessed a historical peacekeeping ceremony between the infighting tribes i.e. the Iban and the Orang Ulu (Kayan, Kenyah and Kajang) in the presence of Rajah Charles Vyner Brooke.
According to the elders, there are two folktales related to the name of Kapit. In the old times, many longhouses were built of bamboo (‘kepit’ in local dialect at that time) along the riverbanks. When there were guests coming to the longhouses, they would said, "kami ngagai rumah panjai kepit" in Iban language (which means we are going to 'kepit' longhouse). Eventually, the word 'kepit' was pronounced as 'kapit' and it was then used to refer the place of Kapit now.
In another story, one of Brooke’s officers came to Kapit in 1861. Upon arrival, he ordered a local to buy him some food. The officer was happy with the service and asked the man to keep the change by saying, “keep it”. Since then, the phrase 'keep it' became popular among the locals and eventually it was pronounced as ‘kapit’.
