古晋Rampangi精准农耕园预计11月完成、12月开始种植；同在Rampangi的永久粮食生产园智慧科技提升，则以2027年第三季完成为目标。两项进度不能混为一谈。 砂食品产业、商品及区域发展部长史迪芬伦迪（Stephen Rundi Utom）10月20日在州议会汇报，面积约1.7公顷的精准农耕园，实体工程进度为68%。完工与种植仍是接下来的目标，不能理解为园区已经投产。 永久粮食生产园（TKPM）的科技提升获拨300万令吉，计划采用实时监测、自动水肥一体化系统，以及人工智能分析，改善农场管理。对古晋农业经营者而言，下月完工及12月种植的安排，指的是精准农耕园，并非这项明年才预期完成的科技配套。 民都鲁Sungai Sebiew和美里Kabuloh另外两座精准农耕园，截至9月的实体进度分别为47%和62%，均定于2027年首季完成。三座精准农耕园规划的设施包括温室、内部道路、水肥系统及物联网科技。

Two farming developments at Rampangi in Kuching are working to different timetables: a precision farming park is expected to finish in November, while a RM3 million technology upgrade at the Permanent Food Production Park targets the third quarter of 2027. Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development Minister Dr Stephen Rundi Utom gave the update at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. The 1.7-hectare Rampangi Precision Farming Park has reached 68 per cent physical progress, with planting scheduled for December. Those are upcoming milestones, not a report that crops are already being produced there. The separate TKPM upgrade will introduce real-time monitoring, automated fertigation and AI-enabled analysis. For the Kuching food-production sector, the distinction is practical: the nearer-term planting schedule belongs to the precision park, not the later smart-technology package. Two other precision parks, at Sungai Sebiew in Bintulu and Kabuloh in Miri, stood at 47 per cent and 62 per cent respectively as of September. Both are scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2027. Their planned facilities include greenhouses, internal roads, fertigation and Internet of Things technology.

砂拉越今年争取到153项商务会展活动，预估可带来6亿4150万令吉经济效益；但这不是说153项活动已在今年办完，更不是已经收到同额现金。 旅游部长10月20日在州议会汇报，已争取活动数量超过全年140项的目标，预计吸引6万6625名代表，并带来3360万令吉税收。相关活动的举办年份并不相同：已敲定项目包括2027年亚洲质量网络大会、2028年国际防痨与肺病联合会亚太区会议，以及2030年国际寄生虫学大会。 另一组数字才是按2026年实际举办年份统计：全年排定171项商务会展，预估经济效益7亿3120万令吉。截至汇报时，已举办125项，吸引5万2332名代表，估计产生4亿7020万令吉经济效益，其中包括2610万令吉税收。 因此，“今年争取到”与“今年举办”不能混算，153项和171项也不能直接相加，视作两批互不重叠的新成果。对古晋酒店、餐饮及接送业者，未来订单和已经抵达的代表，代表不同阶段的生意机会；即使是已举办活动的经济效益，仍属估算，不等同每家商户实际入账的营业额。

Sarawak has secured 153 business events this year, with a projected economic impact of RM641.5 million—but the bookings are not a count of events already held in 2026. The tourism minister told the State Legislative Assembly on Oct 20 that the secured portfolio had exceeded the annual target of 140 events. It is expected to draw 66,625 delegates, against a target of 49,207, and generate RM33.6 million in tax revenue. All three figures describe expectations for the secured events, not money already collected. The pipeline extends beyond this year. It includes the Asian Network for Quality Congress in 2027, an Asia-Pacific regional conference of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease in 2028, and the International Congress on Parasitology in 2030. Their expected delegate numbers are 1,000, 1,000 and 2,300 respectively. A different measure covers events taking place in Sarawak during 2026: 171 are scheduled, with projected economic impact of RM731.2 million. Of those, 125 had been hosted at the time of the update, attracting 52,332 delegates and an estimated RM470.2 million in economic impact, including RM26.1 million in tax revenue. For Kuching hotels, transport providers and food businesses, the useful distinction is between future bookings and delegates who have actually arrived. The two event totals describe different groups and should not be added together as separate wins. Even the impact reported for completed events remains an estimate, rather than a statement of individual businesses’ receipts.

砂拉越体育及社区设施建设仍以规划和施工中的项目为主。州议会10月20日公布的进度显示，截至9月，第十三大马计划下40项相关项目中，完成的只有3项，另18项施工中，19项尚在不同规划阶段。 这40项并不等于40座新体育场馆。项目组合包括16项新体育设施、19项体育及社交设施提升，以及5项非实体项目。要判断社区真正增加了多少可使用空间，不能把总项目数直接当成新场馆数量。 砂青年及体育部门也交代“一县一体育中心”计划的目标：相关设施建成后，预计约89%的县将拥有至少一座体育中心。这个比例是完成后的覆盖目标，不是现有覆盖率；参与推动的区域发展机构包括大古晋协调发展机构。 在2027年东运会筹备方面，11项场馆提升工程中有8项进度超前，相关完工安排落在2027年首两个季度。拟承办开幕礼的砂拉越体育场预计明年1月完成。对古晋观众和日常使用者而言，工程完成目标与场馆已经开放使用，仍是两回事。

Only three of Sarawak’s 40 sports and community facility projects under the 13th Malaysia Plan had been completed as of September, according to a ministerial update to the State Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. Another 18 were under construction and 19 remained at various planning stages. The portfolio is broader than 40 new sports venues: it comprises 16 new facilities, 19 upgrades to sports and social facilities, and five non-physical projects. Those categories matter when judging how much new space is actually becoming available to communities. The youth and sports ministry said its “One District, One Sports Complex” initiative is expected to bring sports-complex coverage to about 89 per cent of districts once the facilities are completed. That is a completion target, not the proportion of districts already served. Regional development agencies, including the Greater Kuching Coordinated Development Agency, are involved in the effort. Preparations for the 2027 SEA Games involve 11 facility upgrades. The ministry reported that eight were ahead of schedule, with completion work expected in the first two quarters of 2027. Sarawak Stadium, the planned opening-ceremony venue, is expected to be completed by January 2027. For Kuching spectators and regular facility users, these are work-completion targets rather than announcements that the upgraded venues are already open.

在美里石油博物馆（Miri Petroleum Museum），我会先把目光从高高的红色钻油塔移下来。塔脚有四个人物塑像，身体朝工具用力：这个细节，比“拍完塔就走”更能带人进入油城的故事。先看懂人怎样把地下资源变成一座城市的生计，再去看山下的楼房，顺序一换，风景也有了内容。 [image: 1792452893848-2.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped 这里在砂拉越北部美里的加拿大山上，也叫 Bukit Tenaga。馆旁的“老妇人”（Grand Old Lady）是一号油井的历史地标，这口井从1910年生产到1972年。今天留下的是工业遗址与展示，不是一口仍在抽油、等游客来看作业的井。把这件事分清楚，就不会只把它当成普通观景台上的装饰塔。 我觉得最值得停留的，是塔和旁边较低的抽油机之间。高塔让人想到往地下钻探，摇臂式抽油机则帮助理解把油带到地面的另一道工序。再看塔下的人物，机器就不只是机器：支撑美里“油城”身份的，曾经是这样的劳动和技术。这里的故事不是一句发现石油便结束，而是一口井持续生产六十多年后，怎样被留下来解释城市的来路。 [image: 1792452894012-6.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped 石油博物馆要到2005年5月20日才正式开放，由壳牌与国油支持建设；同一天，美里升格为市。两个时间放在一起很有意思：城市走进新阶段，也把自己的工业过去变成让公众认识的场所。带着这个联系进馆，比把建馆年份背下来更有用。馆舍和油井本来就应该一起看，一个保留现场的尺度，一个补上现场看不见的过程。 进到展厅，视线可以从钻探工具转向岩石与化石。石油的形成不是一代工人的时间，而是更漫长的地质过程。展柜里的小型蟹类化石，让这趟参观不只剩下企业和机器，也提醒人留意脚下的地层与自然历史。 [image: 1792452894132-4.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped 不过，我不会把这里安排成“孩子可以玩遍互动设备”的科学馆行程。它更适合对石油工业、地质，或一座砂拉越城市如何发展感兴趣的人。展陈有年岁，有些设备的表现未必符合期待；2026年5月曾讨论增设展品，但讨论升级，不等于新展区已经落成。别为了某台模拟器一定能启动而专程来，把重点放在油井、展览的解释，以及两者之间的联系，比较不容易失望。 如果同行的人只想找很大的沉浸式展馆，我会直接降低这站的优先级。若有人从事油气行业，或喜欢追问“这台东西到底怎样工作”，反而可以慢慢看。我自己的排法是先留大约一小时给馆内与户外解说，观景另外加时间；这是行程建议，不是参观必须达到的时长。也不用为了免费，就硬把每块展板读完。 [image: 1792452894250-8.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped 想把山上的景色一起收进行程，最好先逛馆，再到户外。只顾着赶日落，可能还有油井可看，却已经错过室内展厅。之后再下山接美里市中心的散步或用餐，路线比来回折返舒服。这是美里市区旅程的一站，不是从古晋出发顺手加进去的半日游；两座城市不要在安排交通时混成同一个地方。 地址在加拿大山 Jalan Oil Well No. 1。怕热、带长辈，或不想沿上坡路走的人，我会选车或德士到山上。附近的林间步道另外判断鞋子、天色与体力，不要因为博物馆容易到达，就把整条山径也当成轻松散步。 现行参观资料列明免费入场：周一至周五9am–4.45pm，周末及公共假日10am–4pm，指定节庆和假日另有闭馆安排。穿着端庄，遇到假日出发前再看当天公告。最重要的是把“山上户外”和“博物馆室内”分开：能上山看晚景，不代表展厅也开到晚上。 Google Maps 导航：美里石油博物馆 如果时间有限，我会保留塔下人物、油井的工作年代，以及回头看城市这三个动作。看完以后，你比较想继续追机器的故事，还是展柜里那些更古老的岩石？

The useful detail at Miri Petroleum Museum is not just the tall red derrick. Look underneath it: four worker figures lean into a drilling tool. Before the hill becomes a panorama, that little group makes the story human-sized. I would start there, with the effort needed to get oil out of the ground, rather than rush straight to the city-view photograph. [image: 1792452893848-2.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped This is Canada Hill, also called Bukit Tenaga, above Miri in northern Sarawak. The Grand Old Lady beside the museum marks Oil Well No. 1, which produced from 1910 until 1972. The distinction matters: the tower is a record of an extraction site, not an operating well to watch at work. What is now a visitor stop once belonged to the industry that gave Miri its oil-town identity. Those six decades are a useful way to read the surroundings. Oil history here is not an isolated machine in a gallery: the well, the pumpjack and the city below belong in the same mental picture. The derrick shows the vertical business of drilling; the lower, rocking-arm pumpjack represents another stage in bringing oil to the surface. Taking a moment to distinguish the two gives the outdoor display more meaning than another photograph of a metal tower. [image: 1792452894012-6.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped The museum arrived much later. It opened on 20 May 2005 with support from Shell Malaysia and Petronas, the same day Miri became a city. That pairing is the story I would keep in mind on the way inside: a working industrial past being turned into a public explanation of how the city came to be. The attraction is strongest when the building and the old well are treated as one stop, not as competing places to tick off. Inside, the subject shifts from the people and machinery to the ground itself. Oil formation, extraction and the industry's development need more than a date on a sign. The rock and fossil displays give that story a slower timescale. A case of small fossil crabs, for example, is a reminder to look beyond the familiar tower silhouette and notice the museum's geological side. [image: 1792452894132-4.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped I would not sell this as a polished science centre. The exhibition is a better fit for someone who likes connecting industrial history with a real landscape than for a family expecting every interactive station to work. The older-style displays are worth approaching with modest expectations. A proposed exhibit upgrade was discussed in May 2026, but a proposal is not a finished attraction. Build the visit around the well and the history rather than a guaranteed turn on a simulator. That makes this a sensible short stop within a Miri stay, especially for an oil-and-gas enthusiast, a geology-minded traveller or children who enjoy asking what a machine actually does. Someone wanting a large, immersive museum could leave underwhelmed. I would allow roughly an hour for the museum and outdoor interpretation, with extra time only if the hilltop views are part of the plan. That is an itinerary allowance, not a tour duration you have to follow. [image: 1792452894250-8.jpg] Pangalau / Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0 · 2023-09-22 · resized, uncropped The route works best with the museum first and the open-air viewpoint afterwards. Coming only at sunset can mean seeing the derrick but missing the galleries. From here, continue back down to central Miri for the rest of a city walk; this is not a day-trip detour from Kuching. If travelling with anyone who dislikes a hot uphill walk, a car or taxi to Jalan Oil Well No. 1 is the simpler choice. Keep the forest trails as a separate decision, with appropriate shoes and daylight, rather than assuming they are part of an easy museum visit. The museum's current visitor information lists free admission, Monday–Friday 9am–4.45pm and weekends/public holidays 10am–4pm, with specified festival and holiday closures. Wear modest clothing and check the day's notice before a special trip. The indoor timetable and the outdoor hill are different things: free entry does not mean the museum stays open for the evening view. Find Miri Petroleum Museum on Google Maps For me, the worthwhile sequence is simple: look at the workers under the derrick, understand the well's working life, then turn towards the city it helped shape. Which would keep you here longer—the machinery or the geology?

在古晋老街吃过一餐，我反而想留一点时间给咖啡，不急着再找下一份早午餐。友海街75号的雅·咖啡（Yia Coffee Company），适合放在这种行程空隙里：先坐下来，再决定这一杯要慢慢喝，还是顺便认识一点砂拉越咖啡豆。 [image: 1792449215349-yia-photo-02.jpg] Google Map / Yia Coffee Company 这家店的起点，不只是把老店屋布置成咖啡馆。Yia和丈夫因为共同喜欢咖啡，一起把开店的想法做起来，Yia也曾亲自在吧台制作饮料。比起只看门口好不好拍，我更喜欢这种由人的兴趣慢慢长出来的小店故事。不过来这里不用安排成一趟隆重的探店，老街散步走到一半，留个空档就好。 雅·咖啡另一个值得问的重点，是砂拉越咖啡豆。店家除了卖杯装饮品，也经营咖啡豆，并提供Pos Laju寄送。如果想带一点古晋的味道回家，我会先问当天有哪些砂拉越豆，再说清楚自己平常用滤杯、咖啡壶还是其他器具。把冲煮方式问对，比只凭包装挑一袋更实际；不必为了买伴手礼，勉强选自己不会冲的豆。 [image: 1792449215554-yia-photo-04.jpg] Google Map / Yia Coffee Company 坐下来点单时，我会先想好要热咖啡，还是走路后想喝的冰饮，再请吧台建议。照片里的饮料可以帮助想象这一站，却不代表每一款配方随时都有。若这一趟主要是找正餐，我会先吃饱才过来，让咖啡当作老街行程里的停顿，不把它硬排成一顿丰盛早午餐。 [image: 1792449215699-yia-photo-06.jpg] Google Map / Yia Coffee Company 门口的绿植、吧台和往里延伸的木桌椅，保留了老店屋前后展开的空间感。我会把这里留给聊天、歇脚和一杯咖啡，而不是预设一定有安静办公位。行程不用塞太满，喝完还想走，再接回附近的老街就好。 地点：75, Jalan Ewe Hai, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak。 在Google Maps查看雅·咖啡的位置 店家列出的营业时间是上午10点至下午5点，星期三休息。我会放在午餐之后，不必赶着一早来；离开前若还有兴致，再问一问咖啡豆。你来老街喝咖啡，会比较想当场多坐一会儿，还是挑一袋豆回家慢慢冲？

After a meal around Kuching’s old-town streets, I would leave room for coffee rather than squeeze in another full café breakfast. Yia Coffee Company at No. 75, Ewe Hai Street makes sense for that pause: a cup at a wooden table, with the coffee itself carrying a little of Sarawak into the afternoon. [image: 1792449215349-yia-photo-02.jpg] Google Map / Yia Coffee Company There is a personal beginning behind the name. Yia and her husband pursued the café together out of a shared love of coffee; Yia herself has worked behind the counter preparing the drinks. That is a more interesting reason to stop than a photogenic doorway alone. For me, this belongs on a leisurely old-town wander, not on a checklist of places to rush through. The local-bean connection gives the visit a second purpose. Sarawak coffee beans are part of Yia’s offering, and the business also sends beans by Pos Laju. If bringing something home matters more than collecting another café photo, I would ask which Sarawak beans are available and how to brew them with the equipment I actually use. Do not choose a bag just because its name sounds familiar: ask about the preparation before deciding. [image: 1792449215554-yia-photo-04.jpg] Google Map / Yia Coffee Company I would start by deciding between a hot coffee to sit over and an iced drink for a break from walking, then ask the barista what suits that choice. The photographs show different coffee drinks, not a promise that every pictured recipe is always available. Anyone looking for a substantial meal should eat first and let this be the coffee stop; there is no need to turn every café visit into brunch. [image: 1792449215699-yia-photo-06.jpg] Google Map / Yia Coffee Company The shopfront keeps its old-town proportions: a wide open entrance, greenery beside the counter and wooden seating further inside. I would choose this for a slower conversation or a short rest between walks, rather than make assumptions about silent working space or guaranteed seating. Find Yia Coffee Company at 75, Jalan Ewe Hai, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak. Open Yia Coffee Company in Google Maps The café’s stated hours are 10am–5pm, closed Wednesday. Keep that weekly break in mind before building a route around it. My pick would be coffee after lunch, with a question about the Sarawak beans before leaving—not another hurried takeaway just to tick off an address. What would you rather bring home: a bag of beans or time for one more cup?

土著法庭目前使用的法律框架继续适用。砂拉越拟议中的新法案仍在州总检察署审查阶段，不能把修法计划当成已经改变现有程序的新制度。 砂总理署部长John Sikie Tayai在10月19日完成砂立法议会部门总结后表示，希望法案可在下一次议会会议提呈，但没有确认草案已经备妥，也未给出确定日期。对于正使用土著法庭服务的民众，部长的期望并不等于新法已经生效。 拟议立法属于重组土著法庭制度的工作，包括取代1992年土著法庭法令。州总检察署正全面审查修订内容，以确保能够执行并回应法庭现阶段的需要。接下来须区分三个进度：法律审查完成、法案实际提呈，以及最终生效；在修订完成并实施之前，法庭仍按现有框架运作。

Sarawak’s planned Native Courts legislation is still being reviewed by the State Attorney-General’s Chambers. The existing legal framework remains in force while the proposed changes are finalised. Minister in the Premier’s Department John Sikie Tayai gave the update after his October 19 winding-up speech at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly. He hopes the Bill can be tabled at the next sitting, but did not confirm that it is ready or provide a firm tabling date. The proposals form part of a restructuring of the Native Courts system, including replacing the Native Courts Ordinance 1992. Sikie said the legal review is intended to ensure the changes can be implemented and respond to the institution’s current needs. For people dealing with the Native Courts, the distinction is practical: a minister’s hoped-for timetable does not change the rules governing current proceedings. Sikie said the courts would continue working under the existing framework until the amendments are finalised and brought into force. The next meaningful milestones are the completion of the legal review, an actual Bill being tabled, and its eventual commencement arrangements. An expected opportunity to table legislation should not be mistaken for a new law already taking effect.

准备在古晋或砂拉越其他地区发展土地，申请人须先处理供水设计，再提呈规划申请。住宅、商业、工业及政府建筑等项目，都必须把储水槽、增压泵站和相关设施纳入规划，并符合技术要求。 砂公用事业与通讯部长朱莱希（Julaihi Narawi）10月19日在砂立法议会部门总结时，说明所需程序：先由砂乡区水供局（JBALB）或Sarawak Water确认系统设计及设施用地是否适合，再经土地与测量局，把发展申请交州规划机构审议；相关确认也须在工程图提呈工程图审批委员会前取得。 这与现有场所的日常储水维护，是两件事。朱莱希同时提醒私人及商业场所业主，保养屋顶或地面的储水槽，以应付高峰用水和供水中断。土地发展须先核准供水，并不等于所有已有人居住的房屋要重新提交发展申请；对新项目，供水容量及设施用地则不能留到设计后期才考虑。

Water-system verification must come before a land-development application is submitted for planning approval in Sarawak, Utility and Telecommunication Minister Julaihi Narawi said on October 19. The requirement applies to developments including residential, commercial, industrial and government premises. Developers must obtain verification from Sarawak’s Rural Water Supply Department (JBALB) or Sarawak Water for their proposed system design and the suitability of sites reserved for its facilities. Speaking during his ministerial winding-up at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly, Julaihi said the system includes storage tanks, booster pumping stations and related facilities that meet technical requirements. Verification is needed before the application goes through the Land and Survey Department to the State Planning Authority, and before engineering plans reach the Engineering Plan Committee. For a developer or landowner planning a project in Kuching or elsewhere in the state, that places water capacity and facility sites at the planning stage, rather than leaving them until the building design is far advanced. This is a reminder of the required approval sequence, not an announcement that every existing property must submit a fresh development application. Existing private and commercial premises have a separate responsibility: Julaihi urged owners to keep rooftop or ground-level storage tanks maintained and working, particularly for peak demand or supply disruptions. A development’s water-system design and the upkeep of an occupied property’s tank are different tasks, but both affect whether usable water reaches the premises.

诗巫市区、Sibu Jaya、Kemuyang、Ulu Sungai Merah、Rantau Panjang，以及Lanang上下段，列入新电动巴士的拟服务范围。砂政府计划以13辆电动巴士替换诗巫现有市区巴士，提供零车资服务，目标在2027年第一季推行。 这不是古晋巴士车资的调整。古晋BAS.MY是另一项服务：自2025年3月推行以来，以56辆巴士行驶13条路线，截至2026年9月累计载客超过129万人次。诗巫的免费搭乘计划，不能套用于古晋现行安排。 砂交通部长李景胜（Lee Kim Shin）10月19日在砂立法议会部门总结时公布诗巫计划，并表示将参考美里更换新巴士的做法，诗巫采用电动车辆。对日常通勤乘客，除了不用付车资，路线、班次密度及发车时间同样影响实用程度；这些具体安排尚待公布。 明年首季即1月至3月，仍是落实目标，并非今天已经启用的新服务。

Sibu’s existing stage buses are set to be replaced by 13 electric buses offering free rides, with the rollout targeted for the first quarter of 2027. Sarawak Transport Minister Lee Kim Shin announced the plan in his October 19 winding-up speech at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly. The intended service area includes Sibu town, Sibu Jaya, Kemuyang, Ulu Sungai Merah, Rantau Panjang and Lower and Upper Lanang. The change combines two separate benefits for passengers: newer vehicles and zero fares. But the early-2027 target is not a start date for free travel today, and the announcement does not provide route-by-route timetables or service frequencies. Those details will determine how useful the replacement fleet is for daily trips. For Kuching readers comparing public transport options, this is a Sibu programme, not a change to the city’s BAS.MY fares. Lee separately reported that Kuching’s BAS.MY service runs 56 buses across 13 routes and had carried more than 1.29 million passengers since its March 2025 launch, as of September 2026. Sibu passengers can now track a defined delivery window rather than an unspecified replacement plan: January to March 2027. The next useful information will be the confirmed launch arrangements and routes served by the new fleet.

古晋企业日后处理国际商业纠纷，拟可使用设在本地的亚洲国际仲裁中心（AIAC）据点。砂政府将拨1000万令吉，提升古晋历史区内一座纺织博物馆古迹建筑作为办公地点。 工程及设立工作预计2027年开始落实，尚不能把这项计划视为新据点已开放受理案件。首相署法律及体制改革部长阿莎丽娜（Azalina Othman Said）表示，明年的工作包括委任相关理事成员，以推动运作；正式启用时间和使用服务的安排，仍是企业需留意的后续进展。 阿莎丽娜10月19日在砂立法议会大厦出席砂政府与AIAC协议交换仪式后，说明这项计划。她希望古晋据点吸引国际律师及法律事务所，服务砂拉越及更广的婆罗洲区域，而非只设小型分行。对本地商界，这意味着拟把有关服务带近经营地点，减少相关活动集中于吉隆坡；当天的协议交换在议会大厦举行，办公室则选址上述古迹建筑。

A heritage textile museum building in Kuching is to be upgraded into an Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) hub, with RM10 million in Sarawak government funding. Implementation is expected to begin in 2027, not immediately. Law and Institutional Reform Minister Azalina Othman Said outlined the plan on October 19 after an agreement-exchange ceremony between the state government and AIAC at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly complex. The ceremony venue is separate from the heritage building selected for the office. The proposal would give businesses in Sarawak and the wider Borneo region another venue for resolving international commercial disputes, rather than concentrating that activity in Kuala Lumpur. Azalina said the intention went beyond a small branch office, including attracting international lawyers and legal chambers to Kuching. For local firms, the practical change would be access to dispute-resolution services closer to where they operate. It is not yet an announcement that the new office is accepting cases: the minister said implementation would start next year, including appointments to get operations running. The RM10 million is an upgrade commitment, while the planned legal services and talent-development opportunities remain outcomes to be delivered. An operational opening date and the eventual arrangements for using the Kuching facility are the next milestones for businesses to watch.

在古晋老街走一圈，我不会每一站都排成正餐。有时留一点肚子，找地方喝杯咖啡、分一块蛋糕，整段行程反而比较舒服。Wayang Street 的 Moon & Sun Coffee，我会放在这样的空档，而不是把它当成又一场要点满桌的 brunch。 [image: 1792394989186-moonsun-google-original.jpg] Google Map / Moon & Sun Coffee 这家店在 2024 年 6 月 7 日正式开业，之前已经过试营业。它一开始走的就是咖啡配糕点这条路线，不是后来才在菜单角落加两款甜品。除了 espresso 咖啡，也有手冲；想把这一站留给咖啡本身，不一定只能点一杯甜甜的奶咖。 如果是我来安排，第一轮会点得很简单：一杯咖啡、一份蛋糕。喜欢这个节奏再慢慢坐，不用因为进了一家 cafe，就把原本的下午空档吃成第二顿午餐。 比“摆盘好看”更值得留意的 batik cake 它早期的糕点故事里，有一款叫 Indulgence Batik 的免烤蛋糕：上层是巧克力 fudge，中间是 cream cheese，底层用 Milo 和饼干结合起来。切开后，饼干在横截面形成花纹，正是 kek batik 名字的由来。 我觉得这比单纯冲着漂亮蛋糕去，更有记忆点。同样是咖啡配甜品，这块蛋糕让人想到的是马来西亚熟悉的味道与做法，而不只是任何城市都能复制的一套 cafe 组合。 [image: 1792394989824-moonsun-photo-04.jpg] Google Map / Moon & Sun Coffee 图中是店里蛋糕选择的另一例，并非上文所说的分层 batik cake。 搭配方面，我会把重点放在一甜一简。如果选了巧克力与饼干层次的蛋糕，饮料就偏向简单一点的咖啡，不急着把两样都点成甜品。另一条路线是 dirty chai：espresso、masala chai 和牛奶放在同一杯里，适合想在咖啡与茶之间找个交集的人。 [image: 1792394990359-moonsun-photo-06.jpg] Google Map / Moon & Sun Coffee 老街路线中，留一个不用赶的空档 我的安排会是先走老街，再来这里休息，下一顿正餐留给下一站。Moon & Sun 的吸引力，不需要用“必吃”两个字硬撑：Wayang Street 的位置、从开店就以咖啡与糕点为主的路线，再加上 batik cake 这条具体线索，已经足够解释为什么可以为它留一个位置。 Moon & Sun Coffee 11, Wayang Street, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak 所列营业时间：每天 8am–10pm。 Google Maps — Moon & Sun Coffee，Wayang Street 图片署名更正或移除请求，可通过 KuchingHub 联系处理。

A walk through Kuching's old streets does not need another full meal at every stop. Sometimes I would rather save a little room for coffee and cake. Moon & Sun Coffee, at 11 Wayang Street, fits that kind of pause: close to the heritage-street route, with coffee and pastries at the centre of the visit. [image: 1792394989186-moonsun-google-original.jpg] Google Map / Moon & Sun Coffee The cafe officially opened on 7 June 2024, after a soft-launch period. That matters more than calling it another “new cafe”: its coffee-and-pastry identity was already in place at the beginning. Alongside espresso drinks, hand-brew coffee gives the stop a different direction from simply ordering the sweetest drink in the room. I would keep the first order small. One coffee and one cake are enough to decide whether this becomes a longer break, rather than ordering as though it were a lunch stop. A cake with a local connection One part of that early story is Indulgence Batik. This no-bake cake combines a chocolate-fudge top, a cream-cheese middle and a Milo-and-biscuit base. The cut biscuits create the patterned cross-section behind the name kek batik. That is a more interesting reason to look at the cake counter than choosing a slice only for its decoration. [image: 1792394989824-moonsun-photo-04.jpg] Google Map / Moon & Sun Coffee The pictured slice is another example from the cafe's cake selection, not the layered batik cake described above. For me, the pairing is the point. With a chocolate-and-biscuit cake, I would lean towards a straightforward coffee rather than turning both halves of the order into dessert. If a coffee-and-tea combination sounds more appealing, dirty chai brings espresso, masala chai and milk together in one drink. Those are two quite different ways to approach the same coffee-and-cake break. [image: 1792394990359-moonsun-photo-06.jpg] Google Map / Moon & Sun Coffee Make it a pause, not another packed itinerary I would put Moon & Sun between the old-street wandering and the next proper meal. The appeal is a specific combination: a Wayang Street address, a cafe built around coffee and pastries, and a batik-cake story that connects the sweet side of the order to Malaysia rather than to a generic cafe checklist.
