Register Login美里柏迈区英达路第三巷（Jalan Indah 3）约360公尺道路已完成重铺，工程耗资约30万令吉，比原定11月20日完工的目标提早。
《诗华日报》10月28日报道，这项工程于9月21日动工，巡视时进度已达100%。美里市政局官员当天也到场了解已完工路段及周边排水改善情况。
当地在今年初水灾期间受到影响，道路重铺并不代表整套治水工程都已完成。报道列出的其他工作包括沟渠清理和排水系统提升，当局也已清除约20棵妨碍排水或沟渠维护的树木。
另有300万令吉拨款获批，用于改善部分曾受严重水患影响社区的基本设施及排水系统，相关工程预计在未来数周陆续展开。这笔拨款涉及的后续改善，不能与眼前已完成的360公尺路面工程混为一谈。
对柏迈居民而言，目前明确完成的是这段道路的重铺；周边排水工程接下来如何落实，仍是另一项进度。不能仅凭路面完工，就认定整个地区的积水问题已经解决。
A 360-metre resurfacing job on Jalan Indah 3 in Miri’s Permai area has been completed, ahead of its original Nov 20 finishing target.
See Hua Daily News reported on Oct 28 that the roughly RM300,000 project had reached 100 per cent completion after work began on Sept 21. Miri City Council officers accompanied an inspection of the finished section on Wednesday.
The road is in an area affected by flooding earlier this year, but the completed surface is only one part of the infrastructure response. The report also described drain clearing and drainage improvements, including the removal of about 20 trees that had obstructed drainage or maintenance access.
A separate RM3 million allocation has been approved for basic infrastructure and drainage improvements in communities previously hit by serious flooding. Those works were expected to begin progressively in the coming weeks; the report did not present them as already finished.
For Permai residents, the distinction is between a specific road section now resurfaced and wider drainage work still to be delivered. Completion of the 360-metre job does not, on its own, establish that the surrounding flood problems have been resolved.
逛古晋老街，咖啡这一站可以不只是找个位子休息。友海街87号的黑豆子咖啡茶庄（Black Bean Coffee & Tea Co.），值得放进路线的理由，是它与砂拉越本地咖啡豆的联系。我会把它安排在白天的老街散步途中，而不是晚餐后才特地过来。

咖啡与小饼，适合老街途中歇脚。
黑豆子的故事始于2001年。创办人Mdm Han与Mr Chang亲自烘焙咖啡，也负责训练咖啡师；比起装潢，这份从烘焙到冲煮的延续，才是认识它的好起点。
现在品牌的烘焙工作设在Tabuan Jaya总部，不要把友海街的小店理解成所有咖啡都在眼前现烘。它另有分店，La Promenade那家较大的空间也有餐食，但分店菜单与营业时间不能直接套用到老街87号。走路逛市区的旅人，选这里，重点是位置顺路，以及能把砂拉越咖啡喝进这趟行程。
想尝试本地风格，我会先问当天有什么砂拉越Liberica选择，再决定喝黑咖啡还是加奶。偏爱甜一点、奶感路线的，可以留意gula apong latte：这款把砂拉越Liberica、Robusta与本地棕榈糖结合起来，不必只按平常的拿铁习惯下单。
店里也提供进口产区咖啡，所以点单时说清楚自己想试本地豆，还是偏向熟悉的喝法，会比单看饮品名称有用。若准备带咖啡豆回家，我会多问一句烘焙程度与适合的研磨方式，让选择配合自己的冲煮器具；实际豆款和价格以柜台当天供应为准。
这站不一定要排成完整早午餐。点一杯咖啡，把胃口留给老街其他小吃，反而比较好安排，也不用为了凑齐一桌而点与自己口味无关的东西。

友海街87号入口，可按门牌认店。
友海街店一般是星期一至六约早上9点至傍晚6点的白天营业安排，星期日休息；专程前往或遇到公共假期，出发前再确认。我会先喝咖啡，再往河滨方向散步，不把这家店当作夜间续摊地点。导航时也要认准友海街，而不是其他同名分店。

黑豆子咖啡茶庄 Black Bean — Google Maps
A walk around Kuching's Old Bazaar does not need to end with another generic café stop. At No. 87, Ewe Hai Street, Black Bean Coffee & Tea Co. gives the coffee itself a local connection: Sarawak-grown Liberica, alongside Robusta and other beans. I would put this on a daytime Chinatown wander rather than save it for an after-dinner drink.

Coffee at Black Bean.
Black Bean's story goes back to 2001. Founders Madam Han and Mr Chang built the business around personally roasting coffee and training its baristas. That matters more here than a long list of café decorations: this is a Sarawak roastery with a shop where you can explore what goes into the cup.
The roasting operation is based at the company's Tabuan Jaya headquarters. Do not confuse that with the Ewe Hai Street counter, or assume that the larger La Promenade outlet's food menu and opening hours apply to this Old Bazaar stop. For a visitor on foot, the useful choice is the central location and the chance to make local coffee part of the walk.
I would begin by asking which Sarawak Liberica option is available that day. If you prefer milk and sweetness, the gula apong latte brings together Sarawak Liberica, Robusta and local palm sugar. It is a different starting point from ordering a familiar imported single-origin coffee; Black Bean offers those too, so tell the staff whether your priority is exploring local beans or sticking with your usual style.
For a coffee-focused stop, keep the order simple and leave room for the rest of your Old Bazaar food walk. There is no need to turn it into a full brunch itinerary. If you want beans to take home, ask about the roast and the grind for your own brewing method rather than choosing only by the bag's appearance. Drink prices and available beans should be checked at the counter.

The No. 87 entrance on Ewe Hai Street.
The Ewe Hai Street shop is a daytime operation, generally around 9am–6pm Monday to Saturday and closed on Sunday. Recheck before making a special trip, especially on public holidays. I would fit it before an afternoon walk towards the Waterfront, not build an evening plan around it. This recommendation is for the No. 87 shop, not another Black Bean branch.

砂拉越正把人工智能（AI）与数码化内容纳入师训学院课程，协助教师运用新科技；不过，已经接受相关训练的教师人数仍不足，课堂应用能力还须继续建立。
《婆罗洲邮报》10月28日报道，砂教育、创新及人才发展看守部长在古晋Raia酒店主持第四届国际教育研究与创新大会开幕后，向记者说明这项方向。他表示，相关内容正引入各师训学院课程，学校也已开始推动。
课程纳入新内容，与每所学校都已有足够受训教师，是两个不同阶段。部长承认人手培训仍不足，因此不能把这次说明理解为所有教师都已完成训练，或全州课堂已经同步落实相同的科技应用。
对学校和家长而言，现阶段重点是教师如何获得运用科技的能力。报道没有列出已完成培训的人数，也没有公布各校须在何时配齐受训教师；这并不是为学生新增一项独立AI考试的公告。
Sarawak is bringing artificial intelligence and digitalisation into teacher-training syllabuses, while acknowledging that the pool of teachers trained to use the technology is still insufficient.
The state’s caretaker education, innovation and talent development minister outlined the move to reporters after opening the fourth International Conference on Educational Research and Innovation at Raia Hotel in Kuching, The Borneo Post reported on Oct 28.
He said the subjects were being introduced across teacher-training institute syllabuses to help educators use the technology in their work. He also said the initiative was already being introduced in schools.
The training shortfall is an important limit on what that announcement means for classrooms: inclusion in a syllabus and a teacher’s readiness to apply it are not the same milestone. The remarks did not set out how many teachers had completed training or a date by which all schools would have trained staff.
For schools and families, this is a change in teacher preparation rather than an announcement of a new standalone AI examination for pupils. The immediate task described by the minister is to build educators’ capacity as technology is introduced, not to treat the rollout as already complete.
马来西亚液化天然气公司（MLNG）通过社区安全计划，向民都鲁、实包勿及达岛一带100个村落捐赠共300具灭火器，配合防火及紧急事故应对教育。
DayakDaily引述TVS报道，这项MLNG健康、安全与环境社区活动10月28日在民都鲁举行，内容包括工业安全、紧急应变程序，以及社区共同承担的安全责任。
300具是三个地区合计的捐赠数量，并不是每村获300具，也不能据此理解为每户家庭都会获发一具。报道没有逐一列出受惠村落及各村的分配数量。
MLNG在活动中强调，安全意识须持续培养，包括提供准确信息、反复训练及有组织地行动；产业界、政府、教育机构与社区之间的合作，也有助居民认识工业及环境风险。
对参与村落而言，器材与应变知识须相互配合。这次活动记录的是社区准备工作，不能当作所有居民已完成训练的证明，也不是正在发生工业事故或需要疏散的警报。
One hundred villages across Bintulu, Sebauh and Tatau are receiving a combined 300 fire extinguishers through an MLNG community-safety initiative.
DayakDaily reported the donation on Oct 28, citing TVS coverage of the Malaysia LNG Sdn Bhd HSE Community Programme in Bintulu that day. The programme addressed industrial safety, emergency procedures and the community’s role in preparedness.
The equipment total covers the three areas together. It should not be read as 300 units for each village or as confirmation that every household is being supplied. The report did not give a village-by-village allocation.
MLNG emphasised that safety awareness needs to be sustained through accurate information, continued training and organised action, with industry, government, educational institutions and communities working together.
For the participating villages, the practical value is a combination of equipment and understanding how emergency arrangements work. The donation does not by itself establish that every resident has completed training, nor is the programme a notice of an industrial accident or a current evacuation.
砂拉越土著企业可关注国家企业机构（PUNB）拟于2027年1月推出的PROSPER GROW PLUS融资计划，金额介于100万至1000万令吉，用于提升技术、自动化及营运资金能力。
《婆罗洲邮报》报道，计划在10月28日于古晋举行的砂拉越企业家交流活动上介绍，融资期限最长7年，年固定盈利率为3.5%。这些是已公布的计划条件，不等于每家企业都可直接获批最高额度。
PUNB希望协助本地土著中小企业进入能源、高科技制造及基础设施等较高价值的供应链，并通过产业合作，帮助业者达到采购、技术及安全要求。融资以外，企业的技术和管理能力也是参与这些供应链的一部分。
计划预定明年1月推介，详细资格和条件届时才公布；目前不能把预告写成已经开放申请。2027年财政预算案下PUNB的5亿令吉拨款，也是机构整体融资安排，并非专供砂州的5亿令吉补助金。
有意了解的业者，可向位于古晋Jalan Kulas、Wisma Wan Abu Bakar的PUNB区域办事处，或美里Marina Parkcity、Miri Times Square分行查询。
Sarawak Bumiputera businesses are among those expected to benefit from PUNB’s PROSPER GROW PLUS scheme, with financing of RM1 million to RM10 million planned from January 2027.
The scheme was outlined at the Sarawak State Entrepreneurs Networking Programme in Kuching on Oct 28. The Borneo Post reported a flat profit rate of 3.5 per cent a year and a financing tenure of up to seven years.
The intended uses include improving technical capability, adopting automation and meeting working-capital needs. PUNB wants local firms to progress into higher-value supply chains linked to energy, manufacturing and infrastructure, rather than remain confined to conventional subcontracting.
For prospective applicants, January is the planned launch, not a claim that applications are already open. PUNB said further details and eligibility criteria would be announced at the launch; an announced financing range does not guarantee approval for an individual company.
The corporation’s RM500 million allocation under Budget 2027 is a wider funding allocation, not a RM500 million grant reserved for Sarawak. Businesses can seek information from PUNB’s regional office at Wisma Wan Abu Bakar, Jalan Kulas in Kuching, or its Miri branch at Marina Parkcity, Miri Times Square.
石隆门SMK Lake耗资7880万令吉的重建项目10月28日在学校移交，设施包括42间课室，以及可容纳300名学生的宿舍。工程分期进行，施工期间教学并未因此全面停顿。
据DayakDaily报道，马来西亚公共工程局说明，项目从2023年1月展开，分成两个阶段实施。新校舍施工时，学生继续使用旧建筑上课，校方、承包商与顾问须协调工程及日常教学安排。
其中，第一期工程已在今年8月17日取得部分入伙证书（CPO）。这项较早的使用里程碑，与10月28日的项目移交不是同一件事，不宜把移交日期一概理解为全部设施首次启用的日期。
对家长而言，新增设施与招生安排也须分开看：300人指宿舍可容纳的人数，并不是校方宣布开放300个新学额。公共工程局也强调，工程出现问题时，应明确负责单位、处理行动及后续跟进，直到确认问题解决。
SMK Lake in Bau has received a RM78.8 million redevelopment that includes 42 classrooms and hostel accommodation for 300 students, after construction was staged around continuing lessons.
The project was handed over at the school on Oct 28, DayakDaily reported. JKR Malaysia said work began in January 2023 and was divided into two phases so pupils could remain in the old buildings while new blocks were built.
For families, the important distinction is between the facilities provided and the number of places actually available for admission. The 300-student figure describes hostel accommodation; it is not an announcement of 300 new vacancies or a new intake.
The first phase received its Certificate of Partial Occupation on Aug 17, 2026. That earlier milestone and the Oct 28 handover are separate dates in the project’s delivery, rather than evidence that every part first opened on the same day.
JKR said the design-and-build project required close coordination between the contractor, consultants and school management to limit disruption. Its account also stressed assigning responsibility and following up construction issues until their resolution is confirmed.
今天本来就要买菜补货，可以先看 Emart 这四项会员价，再决定去哪间分店。优惠只限 2026 年 10 月 28 日，并不是所有 Emart 门市都适用。
这次海报列出的商品与限额：
要抓预算的话，白菜和马铃薯各买 1kg 是 RM5.08；再加一包 10kg 白米，总数 RM30.07。四样都拿一份，连牙膏一起是 RM41.06。这只是按海报价相加，不是声称比平日省下多少钱。白米换算约 RM2.50/kg，比较不同包装时会比较直观。
适用分店共九间：Taman Berlian、Boulevard Kuching、King Centre、Moyan、Sejingkat、Summer Mall、Tabuan Jaya、Batu Kawa 和 Matang。出门前先对照地点，不要到了其他分店才发现没有同款优惠。
海报注明每名会员每日限购相关商品 2 件／2kg；当天买完就结束，不能把这个价格当成整周有效。结账前准备好会员资料，并核对现场售价和余货。只买少量蔬菜，特地绕远路未必划算；若家里刚好要补白米，顺路一起买会更实际。
If groceries are already on your Wednesday list, Emart’s 28 October offer is worth checking before choosing a branch. It is a one-day members’ promotion at nine named Kuching-area outlets—not a chainwide price list.
The four advertised items are:
For a quick shopping budget, 1kg of wongbok plus 1kg of potatoes comes to RM5.08. Add one 10kg rice bag and the basket is RM30.07; adding the toothpaste twin pack brings it to RM41.06. These are sums of the advertised prices, not a claimed saving against regular prices. The rice works out to about RM2.50/kg, useful when comparing bags of different sizes.
Choose a participating outlet: Taman Berlian, Boulevard Kuching, King Centre, Moyan, Sejingkat, Summer Mall, Tabuan Jaya, Batu Kawa or Matang. Do not assume another Emart branch has the same offer.
Valid Wednesday, 28 October 2026 only. The flyer sets a daily limit of 2 units/kg per member for the relevant items. Have your membership ready and confirm remaining stock and the shelf price before paying; no live stock count is provided. There is little reason to make a separate cross-town trip for a small vegetable basket, but the rice may be useful if you already need a bag.
古晋自主捷运（ART）服务拟以每15分钟一班的间隔运行，但这仍是规划中的服务频率，并不是乘客现在可以使用的正式时刻表。
砂总理阿邦佐哈里（Abang Johari Tun Openg）10月26日在砂拉越城市论坛上说，他已听取有关班次间隔的汇报。DayakDaily报道，他也谈到中央车站规划与砂拉越早年铁路历史的联系。
每15分钟一班，说明的是两班服务之间拟有多长等待时间；它不能单独回答首班车、末班车、每日营运时段、票价或载客启用日期。这次讲话没有公布这些乘车安排，通勤族不能据此把ART纳入已经可用的日常转乘行程。
阿邦佐哈里表示，拟议中央站地点与砂拉越首座火车站的历史有关，希望现代交通建设也保留城市原有的文化脉络。这项历史联系属于站点规划说明，并不表示车站已经建成开放。
当天论坛在古晋Hikmah Exchange Event Centre举行。会场名称不能当作中央站地址；这次更新的重点是拟议班次及铁路文化定位，而不是正式营运公告。
Kuching’s planned Autonomous Rapid Transit service is being envisaged at 15-minute intervals, but that proposed frequency is not yet a passenger timetable.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said he had been briefed on the intended service frequency when speaking at the Sarawak Urban Forum in Kuching on Oct 26, according to DayakDaily.
For commuters, the distinction matters: an interval describes the intended gap between services. It does not by itself establish operating hours, the first and last departures, fares or a date when passengers can begin using the system. His remarks did not announce those details.
Abang Johari also linked the planned central station to Sarawak’s former railway heritage, saying the site had been the state’s first railway station. He presented that historical connection as part of integrating modern transport with the city’s identity.
The speech took place at Hikmah Exchange Event Centre. That is the forum venue, not a station address established by the report. The new information concerns service planning and the central station’s heritage rationale, rather than the start of public operations.
砂拉越计划在哥打三马拉汉、靠近Sejingkat大桥一带保留大片绿地，并拟通过宪报程序，避免日后发展侵占有关土地。
砂总理阿邦佐哈里（Abang Johari Tun Openg）10月26日在古晋Hikmah Exchange Event Centre举行的砂拉越城市论坛上，说明这项绿地构想。论坛在古晋举行，不表示拟议绿地就在会场附近；他指明的地点是三马拉汉靠近Sejingkat桥一带。
据DayakDaily报道，他形容有关范围约为伦敦海德公园的两倍，并计划种植本土树种。面积比较属于总理对计划的描述，不是已经公布的实测土地面积。
这项构想回应城市住宅空间缩小、家庭需要户外休闲场所的问题。除了有地方散步和相聚，能否保住整片土地不被后续项目蚕食，也是计划的重要部分。
目前所述的是拟保留绿地及拟刊宪保护的方向，不能当作新公园已经开放，或法律保护程序已经完成。对附近居民而言，后续重点是土地正式划定、公共出入安排及开放时间；这次讲话并未订出开放日期。
A proposed green area near Sejingkat Bridge in Kota Samarahan is intended to give urban families more room outdoors, with Sarawak planning to protect the land from future development.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg outlined the proposal at the Sarawak Urban Forum at Hikmah Exchange Event Centre in Kuching on Oct 26, DayakDaily reported. The forum venue is not the location of the proposed green space.
He described the Samarahan area as twice the size of London’s Hyde Park and said it would be planted with native tree species. The comparison was his description of the plan, not an announced surveyed acreage.
The state intends to gazette the land so future development does not encroach on it. This is a land-protection proposal, rather than an announcement that a new park has opened or that legal protection is already in force.
Abang Johari linked the need for public green space to smaller urban homes and families seeking places to spend time together. For residents, the consequential steps are the formal land designation and details of public access; his remarks did not set an opening date.
砂拉越警方已向武吉阿曼申请增加889名警官和警员，为即将举行的州选补足人手，同时保留警力维持日常治安。
砂拉越代警察总监Saifullizan Ishak在10月28日于古晋举行的新闻发布会上说，增援申请已经提交，额外人手可能来自沙巴。不过，沙巴支援仍属可能安排，并非已经敲定或抵达砂州的部署。
这次申请要处理的是选举任务与常规警务同时进行的人力需求。警方表示，仍会有人继续执行平日工作；投入州选保安，不等于所有警员都转去选举岗位。对居民而言，选举期间的治安服务与投票保安是两项并行任务。
警方也把东北季候风纳入后勤准备。除了补足人数，如何在砂州各地安排交通和调动人员，同样是选前部署的一部分。
接下来须由武吉阿曼安排额外警力。现阶段能确认的是已提出申请，不能把这项请求写成沙巴警员已经获派来砂支援。
Sarawak police have asked Bukit Aman for 889 additional officers and personnel for the coming state election, while keeping a separate contingent on regular policing duties.
Acting Sarawak Police Commissioner DCP Saifullizan Ishak said at an Oct 28 press conference in Kuching that the request had already been submitted. Reinforcements could come from Sabah, but he described that as a possibility rather than a confirmed deployment.
The request concerns the staffing needed to run election security alongside everyday public-safety work. Saifullizan said regular policing would continue; assigning personnel to the election does not mean all officers will leave their normal duties.
Police are also preparing logistics around the Northeast Monsoon. That places transport and deployment readiness alongside headcount in their election preparations, particularly for a state with widely dispersed communities.
The immediate next step is Bukit Aman’s arrangement of additional personnel. The request itself does not establish that Sabah reinforcements have been approved or have arrived.
