砂拉越总理阿邦佐哈里（Abang Johari Tun Openg）表示，砂政府正探索与俄罗斯在火箭及卫星发射方面合作的可能性。 马新社报道，俄罗斯驻马大使Naiyl M. Latypov上周拜会时提出有关构想。砂拉越靠近赤道，是报道提及的地理条件；目前未宣布发射场地点、签署协议或工程时间表。 总理周日在古晋锡克庙扩建大楼启用仪式上说，砂拉越需要更多工程师，并愿意探讨合作，培养更多相关专业人才。他也提到，面对国际社会对砂拉越日益增长的兴趣，州政府须制定有效政策，并确保发展计划清晰。报道也提及，俄罗斯此前表达了讨论多个领域合作的意愿，包括航空航天、能源、农业、造船与教育；这不代表各领域已有敲定项目。

A ferry capable of carrying 24 cars is expected to be ready for service at Nanga Melipis by the end of this year, according to caretaker deputy minister Jefferson Jamit Unyat.

The project includes landing facilities on both sides of the river, with concrete ramps at Nanga Melipis and Rumah Robert in Nanga Sebatu. The works also include protective fenders, a waiting area and a toilet.

砂拉越计划资助本地学生报读砂拉越大学（UNIMAS）医科，名额增至80个。砂总理阿邦佐哈里（Abang Johari Tun Openg）说，其中40个为原有名额，另外40个是在与大学商讨后增加，预计从下一次招生开始提供。 他周五在古晋出席砂总理特别奖及砂教育奖颁奖礼时表示，费用将由砂拉越基金会承担；参加这项州资助计划的学生无需通过UPU系统申请。 总理说，砂拉越需要在本地培养更多医生。另一方面，诗巫砂拉越科技大学（UTS）也正为设立医学院作准备，包括招聘教学人员，相关准备工作可能需约两年。 报道没有列出新增UNIMAS名额的具体申请日期或资格细则；80个名额也不是指全部新增。

使用Pay & Go泊车时若发现半小时内被重复收费，可向营运商提出申诉。古晋南市市长黄鸿圣（Wee Hong Seng）表示，经核实属不准确的重复扣费将获退款，不会被罚款。 黄鸿圣在周六直播中说，营运商会依据系统拍摄的照片及记录核查投诉。他也提醒驾驶人士，泊车费与罚单是两回事：前者由营运商系统处理，罚单则属于古晋南市市政局（MBKS）执法范围。 他说，指定公共泊车位不论是否有编号，停放车辆都须缴费。民众遇到Pay & Go问题，也可联系他提供的010-6601919寻求跟进。 至于现有泊车费率，黄鸿圣表示市政局正与营运商沟通，希望维持收费、避免涨价。

Pay & Go users who believe they have been charged twice for parking should report the error to the operator and seek a refund, Kuching South Mayor Wee Hong Seng said. In his Saturday live session, Wee said the operator would check a complaint against photographs and data captured by the system. He said inaccurate duplicate charges within a half-hour period would be refunded without penalty. The mayor also drew a distinction between parking fees, which are handled through the operator's system, and compounds enforced by Kuching South City Council (MBKS). Motorists remain responsible for paying in designated public bays, whether or not a bay is numbered, he said. Wee said people with Pay & Go problems could also contact him on 010-6601919 for help following up. He said MBKS was discussing the current rates with the operator to avoid an increase.

古晋拟建家具工业园，目前仍在规划阶段；砂副总理Awang Tengah Ali Hasan说，已有15家公司表达投资兴趣。 《砂拉越论坛报》报道，这项获第13大马计划批准的项目，旨在推动高附加值的木材下游制造业。不过，公司表达兴趣并不等于已落实投资或开始营运。 Awang Tengah指出，砂木材业面对全球市场不确定、经营成本上升，以及环境合规要求日趋严格等挑战。他认为业者需要提高生产力，并发展价值较高的家具与工程木材产品。 报道没有交代工业园的具体地点或开放日期，项目目前也尚未实施。 副总理是在砂木材工业发展机构的退休人员表扬及卓越服务颁奖活动上谈及此事。他呼吁业者采用适当技术，提升生产效率与市场竞争力。

Sarawak Tribune reported that the project was approved under the 13th Malaysia Plan and is intended to support higher-value downstream timber manufacturing. The expressions of interest do not mean the companies have started operations or committed completed investments.

The report did not give an opening date or a specific site for the proposed park.
