KOTA KINABALU: The Sessions Court here yesterday granted bail to a local man who was charged with raping and injuring a woman.

Judge Azreena Aziz allowed bail of RM10,000, with a RM5,000 deposit on Jivrichon Medis, 28, after approving the application by the defence.

Jivirchon had allegedly raped and injured the 24-year-old woman at a hotel in Penampang, which is an offence under Section 376(2)(a) of the Penal Code and punishable with a prison term not exceeding 30 years and whipping, if found guilty upon conviction.

The court also re-scheduled the trial date for Jivrichon from July 13 to 15, where he will be defended by counsel Peter Marajin.

Jivrichon had claimed trial to the offence on February 10, this year, hence, no bail was granted to him, and he was ordered to be remanded under Section 259 of the Criminal Procedure Code

In another court, two locals were fined for driving under the influence of alchohol.

Alan Chen Tze Fung was fined RM1,500 by magistrate Cindy Mc Juce Balitus, while Macenroe Robert Meisin was fined RM1,800 after they pleaded guilty.

Alan and Macenroe had committed the offence on February 1 and March 14, this year, at Jalan Coastal and Jalan Lintas respectively.

Their offence, framed under Section 45A (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 is punishable with a maximum fine of RM6,000 or a prison term no longer than a year, if found guilty.

The court also ordered both men to spend a month in prison if they could not pay the fine.

How well do you know about <b>Kuching</b> city center? | Lot 10 <b>Hotel</b>

Posted: 27 Mar 2015 11:39 PM PDT

Kuching is very attractive. Most tourists go to Sarawak just to explore Kuching. It has many tourist attractions offered to locals as well as visitors. If you want to get up close and understand more about the multi cultures in Kuching, the best thing to do is to go visit the temples and mosques around the city. One of the famous temples in Kuching is the Tua Pek Kong Temple. This temple is the oldest Chinese temple in Kuching and is easily access almost anywhere in Kuching. After a visit to the Chinese temple, you can go to visit the Muslims mosque. There are two main mosques in Kuching, namely the Kuching City mosque and Masjid Jamek. Both mosques are packed with devotees performing prayers expecially on Fridays.

Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, is simply unique. No other city in Malaysia has such a romantic and unlikely history, nor displays its charms with such an easy grace. The residents of Kuching (pop. 650,000 approx.) enjoy living here, and take great pride in their fascinating city, which is reflected in their attitude to visitors. Kuching welcomes visitors warmly, but it does not put on an act for them. Instead it goes about its own business in a relaxed manner that hasn't changed in 160 years. It is impossible to really enjoy Kuching from the air conditioned comfort of a tour bus. To make the most of your visit you must put on your walking shoes, take to the streets (and the water), and join in.

Like all towns and cities in Borneo, the focal point of Kuching and the reason for its existence is the river. Hiring a sampan to meander slowly up and down the Sarawak River is the best way to get your first impression of Kuching. From the river you will see picturesque Malay villages (kampungs), a golden-domed mosque, a Victorian fort, a whole street of 19th century Chinese shophouses and an imposing wooden-roofed palace, all set against a background of distant mountains.

Kuching's city center is well preserved and very compact; virtually everything that is worth seeing can be reached on foot or by sampan. The narrow, bustling streets are crammed with shops selling all manner of goods, from the mundane to the exotic. There are ornate Chinese temples, many fine examples of colonial-style architecture, a beautiful waterfront and a number of interesting museums, including the historic Sarawak Museum. There is an excellent range of accommodation, from luxury via boutique to budget, good restaurants, and nightlife to suit most tastes and pockets. You can try local delicacies such as deer meat and jungle fern, drink a glass or two of tuak (local rice wine), or feast on a vast array of seafood dishes Kuching has an unusual name – the word means "cat" in Malay. There are a number of stories as to how this name came about, but it is unlikely that it has anything to do with cats. The two more likely explanations are that it derives from the Chinese word kochin, meaning "harbour," or that it is named after the mata kuching or "cat's eye" fruit, a close relative of the lychee that grows widely here.

Sarawak is a unique and enjoyable tourism destination, and Kuching is the ideal base from which to go exploring. The nearby national parks include the famous Bako, home of the rare proboscis monkey, Gunung Gading, where giant rafflesia flowers bloom, Kuching Wetlands, which protects a fascinating mangrove ecosystem, Kubah, with its rare palms and orchids, and Semenggoh and Matang Wildlife Centres with their resident orangutans. Literally hundreds of Iban and Bidayuh longhouses are within easy travelling distance. Damai, on the nearby Santubong Peninsula is Sarawak's main resort area, and many travel agents offer "two-centre" packages allowing you to explore Kuching, go on a longhouse trip, visit Bako and the rainforest and then relax on the beach after the rigours of jungle trekking.

Kuching is also the ideal base for visiting longhouses. Local travel agents have a variety of tours, ranging from half-day trips to nearby Bidayuh longhouses, to week long safaris to Iban longhouses on the Skrang, Lemanak and Batang Ai river systems.
