Prepare the marinade by mixing the sweetened pineapple juice, banana ketchup, soy sauce, black pepper, and sugar in a bowl.

Cut the pork kasim into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated.

Cover and marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Soak BBQ sticks in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated pork onto the soaked BBQ sticks, leaving space between each piece.

Brush the skewers lightly with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and has a nice char.

During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the skewers with the leftover marinade for added flavor.

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
