古晋南市 MBKS 不忍了！警告将对散播财务假消息者采取法律行动。 古晋南市市政局（MBKS）市长 Dato Wee Hong Seng 今天放话，若有人继续发表或散播有关 MBKS 财务管理的不实指控，市政局将毫不犹豫采取法律行动。 [image: 1782972171737-mbks-sue.jpg] Wee 指出，某些政治人物刻意选择性引用财报数据，意图抹黑市政局形象、制造公众不信任。他强调，这些批评者分不清运营收入和政府拨款等受限资金的性质。 MBKS 持续在道路、排水、防洪、公共卫生、垃圾管理、公园及智慧城市计划中投入资源。大型排水和道路工程的巨额开销无法单靠门牌税支付，必须分阶段在第十三大马计划（13MP）下推行。 Wee 表示，若批评是公正提出的，那是有建设性的；但当局已通过 Facebook Live 和报章多次澄清，对方却一再扭曲事实。 地点： MBKS 大厦，古晋 详情： 古晋南市市长 Wee Hong Seng 新闻来源： DayakDaily 你觉得呢？

MBKS says it's had enough — critics keep recycling false claims about the council's finances despite repeated clarifications. Kuching South City Council (MBKS) Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng today warned that the council will not hesitate to pursue legal action against individuals or organisations that continue spreading false or defamatory allegations about MBKS's financial management. [image: 1782972171737-mbks-sue.jpg] He accused certain political figures of deliberately using selective financial data to tarnish MBKS's image and create public distrust. Wee stressed that critics had failed to distinguish between operational revenue and restricted funds such as government grants, which are legally earmarked for specific purposes. The council continues investing in roads, drainage, flood mitigation, public health, waste management, parks, and Smart City initiatives. Major drainage and road projects requiring millions are implemented in phases under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). Wee said criticism could be constructive if presented fairly, but rejected repeated attempts to distort facts after the council had already provided public explanations via Facebook Live and newspaper reports.

老实说第一次听到「独立广场」这个名字，还以为是那种很formal、很有距离感的地标。结果去了才发现 — 这根本就是古晋人的超大客厅好吗 [image: 1782958072026-padang-merdeka-1.jpg] 来源：Google Maps / Kuching Travel Padang Merdeka，中文叫独立广场，就坐落在古晋市区Jalan Padungan正对面，MBKS（古晋南市市政局）前面那片超大的草地。讲白一点，就是一片草场。但古晋人对这片草场，是真的有感情。 这片草场不简单 早上五六点，太阳还没完全出来的时候，你会看到一群群安娣安哥在那边打太极、跳操。年轻人沿着边缘慢跑，遛狗的遛狗，还有家庭铺了草席在那边野餐。到了傍晚更热闹，小孩追来追去，情侣坐草地上看日落，还有人放风筝放得老高。 [image: 1782958072090-padang-merdeka-2.jpg] 来源：Kuching Tourism 每年的古晋节（Kuching Festival）和国庆月，这里直接变身大型嘉年华 — 几十个美食摊位，游乐设施，舞台表演，人潮汹涌到你要挤着走 讲真的，那时候来最值得。 看看大家怎么说 Google Maps上翻了一圈，综合评分大概4.1，大家看法很一致： 「市区里面很大的一块草地，环境维持得不错，早上来散步很舒服。」 — Ah Meng (4/5) 「每年古晋节必来，食物选择超多，气氛很好。平时来就有点普通啦。」 — 小雯 (4/5) 「带小孩来放风筝的好地方，傍晚不会太热，孩子跑得很开心。」 — Jason T.

Right in the middle of Kuching, there's this massive open field that practically every local has a memory of. Whether it's the Kuching Festival night market, watching National Day fireworks, or just bringing kids to fly kites on a Sunday afternoon — Padang Merdeka is the kind of place that's woven into daily life here. [image: 1782958072026-padang-merdeka-1.jpg] Source: Google Maps / Kuching Travel Let me be real with you — it's literally just a field. But somehow, it's one of the most happening open spaces in town. What Makes It Special What sets Padang Merdeka apart is not the field itself, but the energy around it. On any given morning, you'll see tai chi groups, joggers, and dog walkers sharing the space like it's a giant community living room. Come evening, families sprawl out on picnic mats while kids chase each other around. [image: 1782958072090-padang-merdeka-2.jpg] Source: Kuching Tourism During festive seasons — especially August leading up to Merdeka Day and the Kuching Festival in late July/August — the field transforms into a massive carnival ground with food stalls, rides, and non-stop activities. Real Talk from Visitors I dug through Google Maps reviews and here's what people actually say: "A great place to relax and take a stroll. Very well-maintained field in the middle of Kuching city." — Azman H. (4/5) "The Kuching Festival here is amazing! So much food and the atmosphere is electric." — Samantha T. (5/5) "Good place for morning exercise, clean and spacious. Free entry." — David L. (4/5) "Nice historical field but can get very hot in the afternoon. Best to visit in the early morning or evening." — Mei Ling C. (4/5) "Love watching the sunset here. The view of the surrounding buildings and hills is pretty nice." — Ravi K. (4/5) [image: 1782958072143-padang-merdeka-3.jpg] Source: Google Maps Reviews The History Behind It Padang Merdeka literally means 'Independence Field'. This patch of green was originally a recreation ground during the White Rajah era, used for polo and cricket matches. After Sarawak's independence and the formation of Malaysia, it became the site for national celebrations — hence the name. The distinctive MBKS (Kuching South City Council) building overlooking the field is itself an architectural piece worth noticing, with its traditional Sarawak motifs incorporated into a modern design. [image: 1782958072232-padang-merdeka-4.jpg] Source: Kuching South City Council / Local Blog What's Around This is where it gets good. Right next to Padang Merdeka is: Jalan Padungan — Kuching's most famous eating street. The seafood here is legendary (Bing! Seafood, Top Spot Food Court, you name it) Kuching Waterfront — A 10-minute walk away along the Sarawak River Main Bazaar — Souvenir shops, just a short stroll from the field Tua Pek Kong Temple — One of Kuching's oldest temples, nearby [image: 1782958072322-padang-merdeka-5.jpg] Source: Google Maps / Local Travel Guide Practical Info Location: Jalan Padungan, right in front of MBKS building Open: 24/7, free access Entry Fee: Free! Zero ringgit Parking: Limited street parking. Better to park nearby at the waterfront area Best Time to Visit: Early morning (before 9am) or evening (after 5pm) — the heat is real [image: 1782958072374-padang-merdeka-6.jpg] Source: Kuching City Guide Verdict Is it a must-visit attraction? I'd say yes — not because the field itself is stunning, but because it gives you a real sense of Kuching's community vibe. Come during the Kuching Festival if you can, or just drop by in the evening, grab some street food nearby, and watch the city wind down. It's not a whole-day thing. Give it 30-45 minutes max unless there's an event on. Pair it with a walk along Jalan Padungan for a solid evening out. Have you been to Padang Merdeka? What's your favourite memory of this place?

Stampin 国会议员张健仁炮轰砂政府外劳系统 Sansols，指一家私人公司每年经平台收取高达 RM2 亿费用，要求立即废除。 张健仁今天发表声明指出，砂拉越政府自 2025 年 1 月起强制所有雇主使用 Sansols 平台申请外劳，每名外劳收费 RM1,800。全砂约 13 万名外劳计算下来，一年累计高达 RM2 亿，全进了一家私人公司口袋。 「以数字化为名，GPS 州政府强制全砂公司使用 Sansols 平台申请外劳。这制造了不必要的官僚程序和成本，其他州属根本没有这套系统，」他说。 张健仁揭露，人力资源部已确认 Sansols 由砂政府推行，所有收费政策由砂政府决定。平台由一家私人公司垄断经营，采购过程完全不透明。 他还指出，Pending 州议员 Violet Yong 今年 5 月在 DUN 会议上揭露，所有平台收费都流向了同一家私人公司。 「这家公司怎么被选中的？幕后是谁？砂政府必须向人民交代，」他强调。 他要求砂政府公开 Sansols 经营公司的背景，并恢复之前完全免费的 MSEN 外劳监控系统。 [image: 1782954437699-stampin-fwta.jpg] 地点： 古晋，砂拉越 详情： Sansols 外劳平台自 2025 年 1 月强制推行；张健仁指单一私人公司每年收取约 RM2 亿 新闻来源： The Borneo Post 你觉得 Sansols 该废吗？

Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen has called for the immediate termination of the Sansols foreign worker platform, claiming a single private company has collected an estimated RM200 million annually from Sarawak employers. Speaking today, the DAP Sarawak chairman said the Sarawak government's Foreign Workers Transformation Approach (FWTA) via the Sansols platform has created unnecessary costs and red tape for businesses. Chong revealed that the Ministry of Human Resources confirmed Sansols was made compulsory by the Sarawak government in January 2025 for all foreign worker applications in the state. Other states in Malaysia do not require a similar system. "The modus operandi was kept very secretive until it was finally exposed by Pending assemblywoman Violet Yong in the recent DUN Sitting in May that all payments go to one private company," he said. With an estimated 130,000 foreign workers in Sarawak, Chong calculated that at RM1,800 per worker, the company could have collected about RM200 million in a single year. Describing it as "an abuse of our immigration autonomy", he urged the state government to disclose the identity of the company operating Sansols and explain how it was selected. He called for Sansols to be abolished and the previous free-of-charge MSEN system to be reinstated.

古晋高庭推翻少年感化令，改判16岁无牌司机6年监禁 — 今年1月他在 Stutong Baru 撞死5人。 今年1月14日，一名16岁少年无牌驾驶 Proton Saga，在古晋 Jalan Stutong Baru 与另一辆车相撞，导致5人死亡，死者年龄介于16至42岁。 [image: 1782781445352-kuching-court-teen-crash.jpg] 地方法院原本判处少年送往 Henry Gurney School 感化至21岁，但控方不满刑罚过轻提出上诉。控方指出，案件涉及5条人命，加上青少年无牌驾驶致死案日益增加，应该判以阻吓性刑罚。 高庭司法专员 Datuk Faridz Gohim Abdullah 接纳控方上诉，撤销感化令，改判6年监禁，刑期从2025年6月16日起算。法庭也下令少年需与成年囚犯分开服刑。 少年早前已承认危险驾驶导致死亡及无牌驾驶两项控状。 更令人关注的是，少年的父亲 Lawan Akie Suma 也因疏于监督，被判罚款 RM15,000 及履行100小时社区服务。 地点： 古晋 Jalan Stutong Baru ️ 判决： 6年监禁（推翻原 Henry Gurney 感化令） 父亲罚款： RM15,000 + 100小时社区服务 新闻来源： DayakDaily 你觉得高庭改判监禁是对的吗？

Kuching High Court has sentenced a 16-year-old boy to six years in prison after overturning an earlier order that sent him to Henry Gurney School for a crash that claimed five lives. The teenager, who was unlicensed, was behind the wheel of a Proton Saga when it collided with another vehicle along Jalan Stutong Baru on January 14, 2026. Five people aged between 16 and 42 were killed. [image: 1782781445352-kuching-court-teen-crash.jpg] The Magistrates' Court had initially ordered the boy to be detained at Henry Gurney School until age 21, but the prosecution appealed — arguing the sentence was too lenient given the gravity of the offence and the rising number of fatal crashes involving underage drivers. Judicial Commissioner Datuk Faridz Gohim Abdullah agreed, setting aside the Henry Gurney order and imposing a six-year prison sentence from June 16, 2025. The court also ordered that the teen be segregated from adult inmates. The boy had pleaded guilty to reckless driving causing death and driving without a valid licence. On top of the criminal case, his father was fined RM15,000 and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service for failing to supervise his son properly.

They're back at it again — Spiderman, Batman and Iron Man at Kuching traffic lights, waving buckets for donations. DBKU (Kuching North City Commission) says it's had enough. Despite repeated warnings, people dressed as superheroes keep returning to busy road intersections and roundabouts to collect money from drivers. Mayor of Kuching North, Dato Hilmy Othman, said complaints have been flooding in through the DBKU hotline and from enforcement officers on the ground. [image: 1782712956689-dbku-superheroes.jpg] "Every time we take action, they disappear for two or three days — then they come back again," he said. "We have no issue taking firm action if they remain stubborn." Safety concern Hilmy stressed that the activity is dangerous — not just for the people standing in traffic, but also for motorists who get distracted or have to brake suddenly, especially during peak hours. Street performance not banned DBKU clarified that it's not against street performances per se — but anyone wanting to perform or entertain needs a permit first.

在古晋市区走来走去，你一定看过这座金色圆顶的清真寺 — Masjid Bandaraya Kuching（古晋 City Mosque）。它就坐落在老城区中心，是古晋最显眼的地标之一。 很多游客以为清真寺不能进，但事实上这里欢迎所有人参观，而且真的很值得停一下。 [image: 1782699116420-mosque1.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons 关于这座清真寺： Masjid Bandaraya 的历史可以追溯到 19 世纪，最初是古晋的 Town Mosque（市区清真寺），当时因为外墙是粉红色的，还被叫做「Pink Mosque 」。现在的建筑是后来重建扩建的，成为古晋最主要的城市清真寺。 建筑风格融合了现代伊斯兰设计和砂拉越本地元素。那个金色大圆顶和宣礼塔特别上镜，尤其是傍晚夕阳照在圆顶上的时候，拍照超好看！ [image: 1782699116505-mosque2.jpg] 来源：Flickr / mrlinsay 大家怎么说： Google Maps 评分 4.8 ，超过 1,800 条评价 — 这评分在古晋景点里算是顶级的了！ 很多游客都提到这里对非穆斯林很友善。有人留言说："里面很漂亮也很干净，非穆斯林可以进去参观拍照，工作人员很友善。" 另一位访客在小红书分享："外观很庄严，走了进去有种很平静的感觉，虽然我不是穆斯林，但也深深感受到那种肃穆的氛围。" Tripadvisor 上有人写道："这座建筑的细节非常精致，不管是外部还是内部。祈祷时间去的話，那种宁静的氛围真的很棒。" [image: 1782699116620-mosque3.jpg] 来源：Mosqpedia 参观小贴士： 穿着：需要穿着得体（长裤/长裙，遮住肩膀）。女生需要包头巾 — 入口处通常有准备长袍和头巾供借用。 拖鞋：进入祈祷大厅前记得脱鞋。 拍照：可以拍建筑，但不要拍正在祈祷的人，祈祷时间也尽量避开。 门票：免费！ 最佳时间：早上或傍晚光线最美。周五 12-2pm 是祈祷时间，尽量避开。 地理位置超赞： 清真寺步行就能到古晋河滨公园（Waterfront）、Main Bazaar 和 Carpenter Street，可以轻松安排一次 heritage walk [image: 1782699116768-mosque4.jpg] 来源：Mosqpedia 给穆斯林游客： 有男女分开的祈祷厅、鞋架和 wudu（净身）设施。楼上也有女性祈祷区。室内是很漂亮的蓝绿色（turquoise）装饰，配上书法壁画和大吊灯，整个空间很宽敞通风。 实用资讯： Jalan Datuk Ajibah Abol, Kampung No3, 93400 Kuching 每天开放（到晚上 9:30pm） 010-662 2029 免费入场 对所有人开放 你去过古晋 City Mosque 吗？觉得它的建筑怎么样？留言分享！
