Hi everyone, I'll be visiting Kuching next weekend and staying around Waterfront. What are the transport options available to get around, especially to further places like Damai Beach and Sarawak Cultural Village? I heard that Grab is easily available. I don't drive so I cannot rent a car. Thank you!

Hey guys,
Final-year Computer Science degree student here looking for an internship placement in Kuching starting this September.
I’m looking for something a bit specific, I really lean towards hardware, embedded systems, networking, and hands-on coding/AI. Not a big fan of web development or frontend stuff, so I'm trying to find places where software meets actual hardware.
I’ve already shot my shot at these places:
• Sacofa
• Xfab
• Sarawak Semiconductor (rejected)
• Sarawak AI Centre
• RA Robotics and Automation (Side note: anyone have an active phone number for HR here? Only managed to reach them via sales team email ).
Looking for some help with:

1. Other Company Recommendations: Are there any tech, automation, or engineering firms in Kuching I might have missed that do this kind of work?
2. Tips : If you’ve interned or worked at Xfab, SMD, or Sacofa, what’s the vibe like? Any tips on how to stand out during the interview?

Appreciate any leads or advice you guys can drop. Thanks!

Trying to know more friends around Kuching / Sarawak.
Into cafés, random deep talks, life sharing, and sometimes MBTI stuff.

Would be nice to meet more people with similar vibe.
