Padungan 一带不缺大家熟悉的古晋美食，不过 Little Fairy Cafe 把路线带去另一个方向：比达友料理常见的野菜、酸茄、发酵风味和竹筒烹调，都可以在同一桌慢慢认识。如果是第一次带朋友来接触这类砂拉越味道，我会约两三个人同行，这样不必只点一碗主食，可以多叫几样一起分。 [image: 1788343530600-p1.jpeg] Wanderlog / Google review 最稳的开场是 ayam pansuh 竹筒鸡。鸡肉、香草和木薯叶组成清香汤底，吃起来不会像咖喱那么厚重，配白饭和味道较有冲击力的蔬菜刚刚好。我会加一份马来盏炒 midin 或 daun ubi，再看同桌的人能不能接受酸味，决定要不要补 terung asam。这里也有饭和面；近期食客特别提到 crispy mee tomato，而多人套餐则比较适合想一次试齐几种传统菜的桌子。 [image: 1788343530748-p5.jpeg] Travel For Life Now 份量安排要先想好。一个人来，可以简单点饭或面；两三个人以上，最值得的方式还是一份 pansuh、一份野菜，再加一道味道较浓的配菜配饭共享。店里多道料理会使用猪肉，因此这是非清真餐饮选择；如果同行者有饮食限制，点餐时直接确认每一道的材料会更稳。 [image: 1788343531047-p3.jpeg] Wanderlog / Google review 店面就是 Padungan 很直接的老店屋格局，不走酒店式精致路线，反而和这类家常地方菜很搭。我会把它排在午餐，趁人潮还没完全上来前到，也预留一点时间给适合共享的菜。多数营业日的午餐时段约为上午 10 点至下午 3 点，星期四休息；晚间时段可能调整，出发前看店家最新更新比较保险。 Ground Floor, 231, Jalan Padungan, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak 在 Google Maps 打开 Little Fairy Cafe Little Fairy Cafe 在 2026 年 Top 25 Restaurants Sarawak Awards 获选 Top Indigenous Restaurants 之一。奖项是加分，但把它放进古晋美食路线的真正理由更简单：第一次接触比达友料理，也能用一桌共享菜轻松开始。如果是我，会先点 ayam pansuh，再让野菜、酸茄和发酵配菜把整桌味道撑起来。

Padungan is easy to fill with familiar Kuching favourites, but Little Fairy Cafe gives the route a different direction: a table of Bidayuh dishes built around jungle produce, sour eggplant, fermented flavours and bamboo-style cooking. If I were bringing someone who had never tried this side of Sarawak food, I would come with two or three people so the table can share more than one dish. [image: 1788343530600-p1.jpeg] Wanderlog / Google review The useful starting point is ayam pansuh. Chicken, herbs and tapioca leaves come together in a light, aromatic broth, so it is less heavy than a curry and makes sense beside rice and a stronger vegetable or fermented dish. I would pair it with midin belacan or daun ubi, then add terung asam if the table likes a sharper, appetising sour note. The cafe also serves rice and noodle choices; recent diner comments particularly highlight crispy mee tomato, while group sets are the practical option when everyone wants a proper spread. [image: 1788343530748-p5.jpeg] Travel For Life Now Portion guidance matters here. A solo diner can keep things simple with a rice or noodle dish, but the more interesting order is communal: one pansuh, one vegetable and one punchier side shared with rice. Pork appears in several of the cafe's dishes, so this is a non-halal dining choice. Ask the team about ingredients when ordering if your table has dietary restrictions. [image: 1788343531047-p3.jpeg] Wanderlog / Google review The cafe sits in a straightforward Padungan shophouse rather than a polished hotel setting, which suits the food. I would aim for lunch before the room gets busy and allow enough time for dishes made for sharing. Current public listings show lunch service around 10am to 3pm on most operating days and a Thursday closure, but checking the cafe's latest update before travelling is sensible because evening hours can change. Ground Floor, 231, Jalan Padungan, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak Open Little Fairy Cafe in Google Maps Little Fairy Cafe was recognised in the Top Indigenous Restaurants category at the Top 25 Restaurants Sarawak Awards 2026. The award is a useful signal, but the real reason to put it on a Kuching food route is simpler: it offers an approachable way to order several Bidayuh flavours at one table. I would start with the ayam pansuh and let the vegetable and fermented dishes do the rest of the storytelling.

《The Borneo Post》前编辑、诗巫俳句诗人John Tiong Chunghoo星期三逝世，享年66岁。 死讯由其兄长证实，家属没有公布死因。 John在1980年代加入《The Borneo Post》，曾担任编辑，之后也任职全国性报章。他后来把更多时间投入诗歌和旅游写作，尤其以俳句为人熟悉。 他的PoemHunter个人资料列出超过3000首作品，并记录其诗作曾被多个国家的学校和大学采用，包括与GCE及国际文凭考试有关的材料；作品也见于海外文学和教育出版物。 从诗巫报馆到国际读者，他留下的是数十年的新闻与诗歌创作。谨向家属、亲友和旧同事致哀。

Former The Borneo Post editor and Sibu haiku poet John Tiong Chunghoo died on Wednesday at the age of 66. His brother confirmed the death. No cause was disclosed. John began his journalism career with The Borneo Post in the 1980s, serving as an editor before later working with national newspapers. He also wrote travel pieces and remained active as a poet. His PoemHunter biography lists more than 3,000 poems and records that his work was used by schools and universities in several countries, including material connected with GCE and International Baccalaureate examinations. His writing also appeared in international literary and education publications. Former colleagues and readers remember a Sibu newspaperman whose haiku found an audience far beyond Sarawak. Condolences to his family and friends.

MYJalan累计收到68,334宗道路投诉，当中近69%要转交工程部以外的负责单位。 这些投诉记录涵盖2023年8月1日至2026年7月31日。其中46,886宗涉及其他机构管辖的道路，包括地方政府、县署与土地局、灌溉与水利局，以及沙巴和砂拉越公共工程局。 MYJalan的“No Wrong Door”机制会先受理，再把个案交给相应单位。另有21,448宗投诉属于工程部及旗下机构监督的联邦或州道路；工程部称，20,762宗已经解决，686宗仍在处理中。 砂拉越民众可在平台选择10类道路与设施问题，并附上照片和GPS位置。报道列出的2026年9亿零420万令吉维修拨款，是沙巴、砂拉越和纳闽三地合计，并没有提供砂拉越单独数额。

Nearly 69% of complaints logged through MYJalan since its 2023 launch involved roads handled by authorities outside the Works Ministry network. The platform recorded 68,334 complaints from Aug 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. Of these, 46,886 were channelled through its No Wrong Door system to bodies such as local councils, district and land offices, the Irrigation and Drainage Department, and the Public Works Departments in Sabah and Sarawak. Another 21,448 complaints involved federal or state roads supervised by the ministry and its agencies. The ministry said 20,762 had been resolved and 686 remained under action. For Sarawak road users, MYJalan accepts photographs and GPS locations across 10 categories, from potholes and damaged markings to faulty traffic lights and landslides. The RM904.2 million maintenance allocation cited for 2026 covers Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan together; no Sarawak-only breakdown was given.

诗巫空气污染指数达327的危险水平时，Sibu Jaya绕道又出现火烧活动，当局已下令停止露天焚烧。 诗巫乡区县议会表示，星期二接报后，县议会主席与砂拉越天然资源与环境局（NREB）及消拯人员到场查看，初步认为火势与沿路农耕有关。 执法人员抵达时，疑似涉及者已跑入附近丛林。不过，当局还没有公布任何人身份，也未宣布提控。县议会接下来会向土地及测量局核对受影响地段的注册业主，并调查是否有人擅自耕作。 沿线地主受促检查自己的土地。县议会也准备召集执法单位、社区领袖和服务中心，商讨如何处理当地反复发生的焚烧问题。

Open burning along the Sibu Jaya bypass has been ordered to stop after a Tuesday fire was linked to nearby farming activity. Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) said its chairman inspected the site with Natural Resources and Environment Board officers and firefighters. Sibu’s Air Pollutant Index was 327 — in the hazardous range — when the fire was reported. NREB officers told the council that people believed to be involved ran into nearby bush when enforcement personnel arrived. No suspect has been identified publicly and no charge has been announced. SRDC will ask the Land and Survey Department to verify the affected plots and their registered owners. Landowners along the bypass have been urged to check for unauthorised farming, while the council plans a multi-agency meeting over repeated burning in the area.

诗巫Jalan Oya健康诊所还没有迁址；卫生当局目前只是评估租用场所作为临时诊所。 副卫生部长9月1日巡视时，先查看现有诊所，再到拟租用地点了解情况。当局提出暂迁，主要是现有建筑状况需要紧急处理；诊所病人增加，医护人员的工作量也在上升。 租用地点是否合适仍待评估，搬迁日期、地址和门诊安排都未公布。迁址若落实，将由砂州卫生当局与卫生部协调，以便在处理建筑问题期间继续提供服务。 在正式通知发出前，病人应照原有地点和预约安排看诊，不必因暂迁建议自行改去其他诊所。

Jalan Oya Health Clinic is still operating at its present site while authorities assess a rented building for a possible temporary move. A Sept 1 inspection covered both the existing clinic and the proposed rental premises. The move is being considered because of the present building’s condition, with rising patient numbers and staff workload also putting pressure on the clinic. No temporary address, move date or change to appointments has been announced. Sarawak health authorities and the Health Ministry still have to decide whether the proposed premises are suitable and how services would be transferred. Patients should continue using the arrangements already given by the clinic unless an official notice says otherwise.

大多数游客过河去河滨公园，但如果行程会走古晋北部，我会在 Bukit Siol 留一个小停靠给 Kuching North City Hall，也就是 DBKU。这里值得看的不是博物馆式参观，而是一座仍在运作的市政厅、山坡位置，以及从北岸看城市的另一种角度。 [image: 1788316491776-dbku-front.jpg] 来源：Medelam／Wikimedia Commons DBKU 的存在本身就是古晋城市发展的一个转折：古晋取得城市地位后，北市市政机构于1988年成立；山上的市政厅综合建筑则在1993年启用。它负责的北市范围约369.48平方公里，所以眼前宽阔、正式的建筑不只是拍照背景，也是古晋城市扩张和行政分区留下的实体线索。 [image: 1788316491878-dbku-side.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons 抵达后不要急着找“景点入口”。在允许进入的公共范围看看外墙、绿化和山坡视野就够了。公开游客评价常提到这里停车方便、环境整洁、视野开阔；同一栋建筑较低楼层的猫博物馆，则是更明确的室内配对。我会把办公室和办事区域当成非开放空间，保持安静，不影响日常工作。 [image: 1788316492043-dbku-wide.jpg] 来源：DBKU／Wikimedia Commons 如果是我安排路线，会把 DBKU 和猫博物馆或 Petra Jaya 其他地点放在一起，预留30至60分钟。自驾或叫车最实际，从老城区步行过来并不顺路；平日停车通常较容易。这里没有一般意义上的景点门票，但内部通行、停车和活动安排可能改变。 [image: 1788316492622-garden-resized.jpg] 来源：Cerevisae／Wikimedia Commons 它适合喜欢城市建筑、安静视野，或想看古晋如何运作的旅客；若你期待完整历史展馆或保证开放的观景台，可能会觉得专程开车不划算。出发前查看 DBKU 最新公告，遇到维修、典礼或临时管制就调整路线，才不会把办公地点误当成随时开放的景区。 Kuching North City Hall，Bukit Siol，Jalan Semariang 打开 Google Maps

Most visitors cross the river for the Waterfront, but a north-side drive reveals a different Kuching story at Kuching North City Hall, or DBKU. I would go for the building and the hilltop breathing space, not expecting a museum tour: this is a working city hall on Bukit Siol. [image: 1788316491776-dbku-front.jpg] Source: Medelam / Wikimedia Commons The civic story is part of what makes the stop specific. DBKU was established in 1988 after Kuching received city status, and the hilltop complex was inaugurated in 1993. From here, the northern half of the city is administered across a 369.48-square-kilometre area; the formal, wide-fronted building is therefore less a decorative landmark than a visible piece of Kuching’s post-city reorganisation. [image: 1788316491878-dbku-side.jpg] Source: Wikimedia Commons The visitor version is simple: look at the facade, landscaping and changing view rather than searching for an attraction entrance. Public visitor impressions consistently highlight the green grounds, free parking and open outlook, while the Cat Museum on the lower level is the more obvious indoor pairing. I would keep voices low and stay within clearly public areas because offices and council business continue here. [image: 1788316492043-dbku-wide.jpg] Source: DBKU / Wikimedia Commons If I were arranging the route, I would combine DBKU with the Cat Museum or another Petra Jaya stop and allow 30–60 minutes. Driving or e-hailing is realistic; the Bukit Siol address is not a useful detour from the old-town walking circuit, and weekday parking is generally easier. There is no normal attraction ticket, but internal access, parking arrangements and event use can change. [image: 1788316492622-garden-resized.jpg] Source: Cerevisae / Wikimedia Commons This suits travellers who like civic architecture, quiet viewpoints and seeing how a city works. Anyone wanting a dedicated heritage gallery or a guaranteed panoramic platform may feel the drive is too much for an exterior stop. Check DBKU’s current notices before leaving, especially for maintenance, ceremonies or temporary access limits, then let this small detour add a north-bank chapter to the day.

古晋Jalan Astana一段摩托车翘头影片在Facebook流传后，一名17岁骑士被捕，案件目前仍在调查。 影片拍到一辆摩托车朝Abang Kipali Roundabout方向行驶。交通警方追查车主后，涉事少年于8月27日到警局协助调查，随后被捕。 警方援引1987年陆路交通法令第42（1）条文调查这起涉嫌鲁莽及危险驾驶案件。截至通报时，当局未宣布提控，也没有法庭裁决。 警方提醒，公共道路上的特技动作可能造成重伤或死亡，也可能面对法律行动；家长和监护人受促多留意青少年的摩托车使用情况。

Police have arrested a 17-year-old over a video that appeared to show a motorcyclist performing a wheelie on Jalan Astana in Kuching. The footage, filmed in the direction of the Abang Kipali Roundabout, circulated on Facebook. Traffic police said they traced the motorcycle owner before the teenager came to the station on Aug 27 to assist with the investigation and was arrested. The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for alleged reckless and dangerous driving. It remains at the investigation stage; police had not announced a charge or court outcome. Police warned that stunts on public roads can cause serious injury or death and may lead to legal action. Parents and guardians were also urged to pay attention to teenagers’ motorcycle use.

美里国会议员办公室称，Batik Air已同意恢复美里—吉隆坡直飞服务，但启航日期和班表仍未公布。 这项进展源自当地要求航空公司重新评估航线的诉求。美里居民此前反映，周末、公共假期和旅游旺季较难买到机票，座位紧张时票价也会随之上升。 若航线落实，美里和砂拉越北部乘客将多一个选择，也可能吸引部分汶莱旅客从美里转飞吉隆坡。不过，在Batik Air正式公布班次并开放售票前，这仍不是已经投入营运的航班。 近期有出行安排者，应以订票系统内现有航班为准。复航的确切日期、每周班次和起降时间，有待航空公司下一步确认。

Batik Air has agreed to resume Miri–Kuala Lumpur services, according to the Miri MP’s office, but no start date, frequency or timetable has been released. The announcement followed an appeal for the airline to reassess the route after residents reported difficulty finding seats, especially on weekends, public holidays and other peak periods. Until Batik Air publishes a schedule or opens the flights for sale, passengers should not treat the route as already operating. A return would add capacity on a corridor used by Miri and northern Sarawak residents, as well as some travellers from Brunei. It could also give passengers another option when seats are tight. For now, existing travel plans should be based on flights that are actually available in the booking system. The next firm update must come with the airline’s launch date and operating schedule.

古晋北市市政厅（DBKU）在悉尼举行的全球大会上，获颁“Healthy City Expert”肯定。 DBKU把这项肯定归功于社区共融工作，包括让居民参与地方发展的Kejiranan Mesra睦邻计划。北市市政厅官网目前列有2025至2026年度的54个Kejiranan Mesra社区，显示这套计划在古晋北市的覆盖范围。 颁发仪式配合Alliance for Healthy Cities第11届全球大会举行，大会日期为9月1日至3日。DBKU表示，其社区路线以包容、安全、可持续和宜居为发展方向。 这次公布的是城市治理方面的肯定，并没有同时宣布新拨款、新设施或公共服务调整。若社区计划扩大或设下新目标，仍需等待北市市政厅另行通知。

Kuching North City Hall (DBKU) has received the Alliance for Healthy Cities’ “Healthy City Expert” recognition at its global conference in Sydney. The recognition was presented during the alliance’s 11th Global Conference, held from Sept 1 to 3. DBKU linked it to its community-inclusion work, particularly Kejiranan Mesra and programmes that involve residents in neighbourhood development. DBKU’s own directory lists 54 Kejiranan Mesra areas for 2025–2026, showing the local network behind the submission. The city hall says the approach is intended to make Kuching North more inclusive, safe, sustainable and liveable. No new funding, facility or change to public services was announced with the recognition. Any expansion of the neighbourhood programmes or new targets will require a separate DBKU update.
