Everrise 33rd Anniversary RM100,000 Contest, 4 September to 31 December 2026: RM100 in One Receipt Enters You
Everrise's 33rd Anniversary flyers of 3 and 4 September carried a gold star reading "THE MORE YOU SPEND, THE MORE YOU WIN WORTH RM100,000" with no mechanic printed anywhere, and this article first read it as a supplier campaign. Everrise has since printed the rules on its 5 and 6 September sheets, and the contest is its own: 4 September to 31 December 2026, at all outlets, members who spend RM100 in a single receipt storewide, for a grand prize of RM10,000 cash, a first prize of RM5,000 cash and two Disney Cruise special prizes. QL Eggs' Beli & Menang Telur Emas, 1 August to 30 September 2026 on a minimum RM15 of QL products, is a separate contest on the same paper. The three-day members' price list ran 4 to 6 September at 19 of Everrise's 21 stores, and the four regional sheets do not agree with each other: PediaSure 1650g is RM204.99 in Kuching and RM194.99 in Miri and Bintulu. A separate one-day Members' Best Value sheet then ran on 6 September at 8 of the 14 Kuching stores and beat the anniversary sheet in the same shop on several lines.
Everrise Members' Weekend and Merdeka Flash Sale, 28-31 August 2026: the Sarawak Price List for Kuching, Miri and Bintulu
Everrise posted four Members' Weekend flyers on 27 August 2026, and three of them are Sarawak. Kuching gets 14 stores, Miri gets three and Bintulu gets one, all running Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August. Every price on those sheets is member-only, and since April 2026 "member" means you open the Grab app at the till. Here is what the Sarawak flyers actually cost, where Kuching, Miri and Bintulu disagree, the two outlets that are not in it at all, the three side campaigns riding on the same paper -- and, added on 29 August, the three further flyers Everrise posted on 28 August, including a Bintulu government Rahmah Madani sale that undercuts the members-only price on five lines. Updated 31 August: the weekend is over, and a one-day Merdeka Flash Sale has replaced it at only 11 of the 18 stores.
8 Things to Do in Bintulu, Sarawak 2026 — and Why the Official List Is Sixteen Years Out of Date
Bintulu is the town most travellers drive through on the way from Miri to Sibu, and the official reason to stop has not been rewritten since 19 August 2010. That is the date printed on the Bintulu Development Authority's own Places of Interest page, which still describes the nightly pasar malam as a place to buy smuggled cigarettes and liquor. Sarawak Tourism Board's Bintulu page is current but lists only five major attractions and leaves Similajau National Park — the division's best-known park — off it entirely, while its Useful Information boxes for Kidurong Tower and Tanjung Batu Beach are empty: no hours, no fee. Similajau itself is the bigger problem: Sarawak Forestry Corporation's own page for it says repair works have the park closed to visitors, and its live registration portal will not let you book a slot. So we went to the operators themselves. Taman Tumbina, the only zoo in northern Sarawak, publishes RM2.00 for an adult and RM0.50 for a child of seven and above, 9.00am to 4.30pm daily — on a website whose copyright line still reads 2004. Here is what is actually there in 2026, what it costs where anyone will say, and what has been built since the official list was written.
Emart Sarawak's August PWP: 18 Member-Only Prices from RM2.99 with an RM120 Single-Receipt Spend (Till 31 Aug)
Emart, Sarawak's homegrown supermarket chain, is running a Purchase With Purchase promotion at 12 Sarawak outlets for the whole of August. Spend RM120 storewide on a single same-day receipt as a member and you can buy one item off an 18-line list at a fixed PWP price — Glo dishwash refill at RM2.99, V-Soy 1L at RM3.99, Naturel 3kg cooking oil at RM25.99. Here is the full item list, the arithmetic on whether the RM120 threshold is worth chasing, and the outlets that are excluded.
