第一次走进春园茶室（Choon Hui Cafe），最容易被一个问题牵着走：这里是“那碗出名的叻沙”，还是只是“出名的地址”？答案会在老式转角茶室里逐渐清楚——米粉上有鸡丝、虾、蛋丝和豆芽，汤底带着虾米香料的厚度，再用椰奶收住；辣椒和青柠留给食客自己调节，味道不是一味追求刺激。

它的名气有一条很具体的来路：Anthony Bourdain 在 2005 年为 No Reservations 到访，2015 年又在 Parts Unknown 的婆罗洲篇回到这里。电视节目把人潮带进来，却没有替你完成味道判断；这碗叻沙真正站得住脚的地方，是汤底表现稳定，同时名气也带来共桌、周末排队，以及太迟到时汤锅渐空的取舍。

真正会改变点餐方式的是薄饼（popiah）。它不是油炸春卷，而是包着炖沙葛、鸡蛋和虾碎的柔软薄皮，再配甜咸酱汁。游客为叻沙而来，老食客却常把薄饼一起点；如果是我只有一个古晋早晨，我会两样都吃，把预算花在完整体验上，而不是只升级成大虾特别版。

春园茶室（Choon Hui Cafe）位于古晋 Ban Hock 路一带，主要做早市时段。建议约 7:30–9:00am 抵达，平日较容易安排；叻沙可能在茶室正式收档前售完。叻沙档口以现金为主，周末路边停车也较紧张。

它适合作为第一次认识古晋砂拉越叻沙的参考碗，但“有名”不等于全城唯一答案。你会把薄饼一起点，还是把这趟早晨留给更安静的邻里档口？

A first visit to Choon Hui is easy to reduce to one question: is this the famous bowl, or merely the famous address? The answer becomes clearer when the laksa arrives at this old corner kopitiam on Jalan Ban Hock: rice vermicelli, shredded chicken, prawns, egg strips and beansprouts sit in a shrimp-spiced broth softened with coconut milk. It is balanced rather than punishing, leaving the sambal and lime to decide how far the heat goes.

The fame has a very specific origin. Anthony Bourdain ate here for No Reservations in 2005 and returned for the Borneo episode of Parts Unknown in 2015. That television trail explains the queue, but it does not settle the taste question: the bowl earns its place through a dependable broth, while the popularity brings shared tables, weekend waiting and a real risk that the pot is thinner late in the morning.

The detail that changes the visit is the popiah. These are fresh, unfried rolls filled with stewed jicama, egg and bits of prawn, finished with a sweet-savoury sauce. The laksa is why visitors arrive; the popiah is why many regulars order a second plate without treating it as an afterthought. If I had one morning in Kuching, I would order both rather than pay for the special laksa alone.

Source: Call Me A Food Lover

Choon Hui is a morning-only stop at Jalan Ban Hock, Kuching. Aim for about 7:30–9:00am, especially on a weekday; the laksa can sell out before the kopitiam’s posted closing time. Bring small cash for the laksa counter, and expect street parking to be tight on weekends.

This is a useful reference bowl for a first-time visitor, not a universal “best” verdict. Would you pair it with popiah, or use the same morning to hunt a quieter neighbourhood laksa?

如果我想在古晋外安排一个不像“景点”的早上，会把 Satow Waterfall 放进 Singai 村落路线。抵达 Kampung Bobak 后先听见水声，再沿着一层层水潭走，重点不是赶到终点。

来源：The Borneo Post Online

Satow 不是一道高瀑布，而是至少六层的连续水道，附近还有醒目的巨石地貌。下层有短楼梯和铺好的小路，上层才进入湿滑、需要脚力的森林路线；一层层变化，正是它和普通野餐点不同的地方。

来源：The Borneo Post Online

这里把林荫、鸟声、溪水和村落环境连在一起。预留两至三小时，穿防滑鞋，带水、防蚊液和防水袋；下雨后岩石会很滑，不要把每层都当泳池。古晋出发约一小时，自驾或安排回程车辆最实际。入场、停车、向导和临时封路可能改变，出发前先确认。

来源：The Borneo Post Online

步行稳定的家庭可以停在较低水潭；想要平整设施、轻松拍完就走的人可能失望。天气允许，我会接 Bau 或 Singai 另一站，但不排到天黑。你会在第一层停下，还是继续往上？

For a morning beyond Kuching, I would choose Satow Waterfall when I wanted a village route rather than a polished attraction. At Kampung Bobak in Singai, the walk begins gently, then water pulls you from one pool to the next.

Source: The Borneo Post Online

Satow is not one tall drop: it runs through at least six tiers, with a distinctive megalithic rock feature nearby. Lower tiers use short stairs and a paved approach; upper levels become a wet-forest scramble. That progression is the story—this is a community waterway with geology to read, not just a swimming hole.

Source: The Borneo Post Online

I would allow 2–3 hours, wearing grippy shoes and carrying water, a dry bag and repellent. Rain changes the rocks quickly, and no tier should be assumed safe for swimming. From Kuching, allow about an hour by car; arrange a return ride. Entry, parking, guides and temporary access can change, so check before leaving.

Source: The Borneo Post Online

Steady walkers and photographers will enjoy the layered pools; anyone expecting flat paths and guaranteed picnic facilities may not. I would pair it with Bau or another Singai stop only in daylight. Would you stop at the first pool, or keep following the water?

旱季缺水已经落到两处社区：伦杜Biawak的Kampung Pasir Hilir，以及诗里阿曼Lingga的Rumah Perindu。

根据8月31日的2026年旱季净水运送报告，Kampung Pasir Hilir共有84户、335人获得670箱1.5公升瓶装水；Rumah Perindu另有10户、40人收到80箱。两地合计94户、375人，获送750箱饮用水。

这批瓶装水由砂拉越社会福利局协调，乡区水供局则负责水槽车送水。持续少雨除了影响雨水收集和重力自流供水系统，河流水位下降也可能减少处理厂取水口可用的原水。

住家若已经断水或水供不稳，应向所属省区或县灾难管理委员会报告。援助数量会按受影响人数、日常饮水需求和预计缺水天数评估。

Clean-water aid has reached two dry-spell-hit communities: 84 families in Biawak, Lundu and another 10 in Lingga, Sri Aman.

The 2026 Dry Season Clean Water Delivery Report dated Aug 31 records 670 cartons of 1.5-litre bottled water for 335 residents of Kampung Pasir Hilir. Rumah Perindu at Sungai Pisang received 80 cartons for 40 residents. Together, the deliveries covered 375 people in 94 families.

Lower river levels are also reducing the raw water available at some treatment intakes. The Sarawak Social Welfare Department is coordinating bottled-water aid with the Rural Water Supply Department, which handles tanker deliveries. Communities relying on rainwater, gravity-fed systems or SAWAS supplies are especially exposed during a long dry spell.

Households with disrupted supply have been asked to report through their divisional or district Disaster Management Committee. The number of residents, daily drinking-water needs and expected duration of the shortage are used to determine assistance.

古晋警方在Jalan Song一间公寓起获电脑和手机，怀疑有人在单位内经营针对海外受害者的网络爱情骗局。

古晋警区刑事调查组于9月1日晚上约11时突击该单位，扣留2名本地男子、1名本地女子和5名外籍男子，年龄介于21岁至26岁。警方表示，初步检查显示8人相信全职参与这个疑似呼叫中心的运作。

案件目前援引刑事法典第420条文及第120B条文调查。古晋推事庭已在9月2日批准延扣8人4天，以便警方继续调查；延扣不代表他们已经被控或定罪。

警方仍在查明实际运作和受害者情况。掌握相关线索者可联络附近警局，或拨打古晋警区控制中心082-244444。

Eight people are under a four-day remand after Kuching CID raided a Jalan Song apartment suspected of housing an online love-scam call centre.

The raid was carried out at around 11pm on Sept 1. Police detained two local men, one local woman and five foreign men, all aged 21 to 26, and seized laptops, phones and other devices believed to have been used in the operation.

Police said their preliminary checks pointed to an alleged call centre targeting people outside Malaysia, with the eight believed to have worked there full-time. Those claims remain part of an investigation under Sections 420 and 120B of the Penal Code.

The Kuching Magistrates’ Court granted the four-day remand on Sept 2. None of the eight has been reported charged or convicted. Police have asked anyone with relevant information to contact a nearby station or the Kuching District Control Centre at 082-244444.

日期已经排出来，飞机却不能说飞就飞：砂拉越这轮人工降雨仍要等云层和风向配合。

9月2日的最新评估发现，现有云团并不适合播云，风势还把云层推向南中国海。即使马上作业，雨也可能落不到烟霾严重或水源吃紧的地区。当天傍晚4时，实文然和古晋空气污染指数分别报325点和309点，属于危险水平。

国家灾难管理机构原定9月3日至5日在8个水坝范围尝试人工降雨，地点包括Batang Ai、Bakun、Murum、Bengoh、Gerugu、Assyakirin、Sika和Matang；气象局和空军也参与行动安排。

截至最新通报，当局没有确认飞机已经起飞或完成播云。接下来能否在原定窗口内行动，要看气象局重新评估后的云层和风向，而不是单靠日期决定。

Sarawak’s Sept 3–5 cloud-seeding window does not guarantee rain: the latest federal update found the available clouds unsuitable and moving out to sea.

The update on Sept 2 said prevailing winds were pushing cloud groups towards the South China Sea. Seeding them would risk producing rain away from the areas facing haze and low water reserves, so any flight remains subject to MetMalaysia’s assessment.

NADMA’s plan covers eight Sarawak dam areas — Batang Ai, Bakun, Murum, Bengoh, Gerugu, Assyakirin, Sika and Matang — with MetMalaysia and the Royal Malaysian Air Force involved in the operation. At 4pm on Sept 2, Serian and Kuching recorded hazardous API readings of 325 and 309 respectively, giving the proposed operation an immediate public-health context.

There was no confirmation in the latest reports that a seeding flight had taken off or been completed. The operation may proceed within the planned window only if later cloud and wind conditions are suitable.

Stampin Resettlement Scheme居民等候多年的防洪工程，终于定下首阶段承包商；实际开工和完工日期仍未公布。

这项计划早在2022年11月宣布，2023年7月召开启动会议。砂拉越水利灌溉局今年7月的进度资料仍显示，现场工程当时尚未展开。到了9月2日，当局才把工程委任书交给TMK Construction and Transport Sdn Bhd，工程由规划往前推进了一步。

首阶段造价8795万6231令吉16仙，范围包括Jalan Stampin Baru沿路排水沟、涵洞，以及通往Sungai Stampin、Sungai Stutong和Sungai Kuap的排水出口。整项3亿5000万令吉计划将分阶段进行，另包括钢筋混凝土排水设施、渠道和蓄洪池，预计覆盖1053户、约9026人。

对居民来说，下一项关键资料不是颁发委任书，而是施工日期和交通安排。当局目前还未公布完整时间表，防洪设施也尚未建成。

Stampin Resettlement Scheme’s flood project now has a contractor, but residents are still waiting for the construction timetable.

DID Sarawak handed the Letter of Award to TMK Construction and Transport Sdn Bhd on Sept 2. The first package, valued at RM87,956,231.16, covers roadside drains and culverts along Jalan Stampin Baru and work on outlets leading to Sungai Stampin, Sungai Stutong and Sungai Kuap.

This is the first firm step towards site work after years of planning. A DID update in July said the RM350 million scheme was announced in November 2022 and had yet to begin physical construction at that point. The wider plan will be delivered in stages, with reinforced-concrete drains, channels and detention ponds among the proposed works. Project estimates put the reach at 1,053 households, or 9,026 people.

The award does not mean flood protection is already in place. DID has not published the start and completion dates or a traffic-management schedule, details that Jalan Stampin Baru residents will need once work begins.

Green Hill 靠近古晋市中心，在这里吃一餐，却可以很快走进一趟南亚风味小旅行。Ceylonese Restaurant 最抢眼的是会拉丝的芝士 naan，不过菜单也涵盖不少斯里兰卡和北印度料理。这里更适合几个人一起吃：中间放一份 naan，再配咖喱和饭类，大家分着尝，比每人各点几道厚重主食更舒服。

HappyCow 食客照片

第一次来，芝士 naan 是最直接的选择。上桌趁热撕开，面饼还软、芝士也最容易拉开。搭配一份咸香咖喱，可以平衡奶香的厚度；butter chicken 比较容易入口，mutton 或 lamb curry 的香料感则更深。食客也常提到 tandoori chicken 和 lamb shank biryani，适合不想整桌只有面饼和咖喱的人。

Wanderlog / Google 食客评价

想吃轻一点，也有 thosai、appam、dhal 和蔬菜料理可选，同行者饮食习惯不同时比较容易安排。纯素食客仍要在点餐时确认不放 ghee、牛油、奶制品和鸡蛋，因为蔬菜料理不一定等于 vegan。这里部分餐点份量不小，两个人可以先少点几样，不够再加，比较不会把相近的重口味一次堆满整桌。

Wanderlog / Google 食客评价

这是一家经营多年的清真餐厅，不是短期社媒打卡档。近期餐厅扩充超过 100 个座位，应付增加的需求，同时也继续尝试 Musang King cheese naan 这类特别口味。用餐高峰会比较热闹，Green Hill 店屋周围有停车空间，不过在晚餐主时段前抵达，找车位和选桌都会轻松一些。

第一次来可用一份芝士 naan、一份 tandoori 烤物，再加一份咖喱或 biryani 组成共享餐。这样能吃到店里最有代表性的组合，又不会全部都是相近的浓厚味道。季节限定或特别菜单的供应和价格可能调整，下单时直接确认当天情况最稳。

Green Hill sits close to central Kuching, but dinner here can quickly feel like a small South Asian food tour. Ceylonese Restaurant is best known for its dramatic cheese naan, yet the menu stretches through Sri Lankan and North Indian favourites. It works especially well for a group: put one naan in the middle, add a curry and a rice dish, then share instead of committing to several heavy individual orders.

HappyCow reviewer photo

The cheese naan is the obvious first-timer order. Pull it apart while it is hot, when the bread is still soft and the cheese has not tightened. A savoury curry keeps the richness in balance; butter chicken is the approachable choice, while mutton or lamb curry gives a deeper, spicier pairing. Diners also frequently single out tandoori chicken and lamb-shank biryani, useful additions when the table wants more than bread and gravy.

Wanderlog / Google review

There are lighter routes through the menu too. Thosai and appam suit breakfast-style appetites, while dhal and vegetable dishes make mixed-diet groups easier to organise. Anyone ordering vegan should still confirm that the kitchen leaves out ghee, butter, dairy and egg, because a vegetable dish is not automatically vegan. Portions can be generous, so two people are better off starting with fewer dishes and adding another only if needed.

This is a long-running halal restaurant rather than a new social-media pop-up. Its recent expansion adds more than 100 seats as demand grows, while the restaurant continues experimenting with specials such as Musang King cheese naan. The dining room can get lively at peak meal times. Parking is available around the Green Hill shoplots, but arriving before the main dinner rush makes both parking and table selection simpler.

Ceylonese Restaurant, 22 & 23, Jalan Green Hill, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak

For a balanced first meal, order one cheese naan, one tandoori item and one curry or biryani for the table. That covers the restaurant's crowd favourites without turning dinner into a stack of similar rich dishes. Ask about the day's availability and current prices when ordering, especially for seasonal or limited specials.

Sekama 是那种要看时间吃早餐的古晋街区，迟到一点，想吃的档口可能已经收尾。Morgan Pork Soup 只做早上生意，当天汤卖完就结束。我会把它当成早早餐，不会排成慢慢来的 brunch：最好上午 10 点前抵达 Geylang Kopitiam，先选粉面，再让清爽猪骨汤成为主角。

DayakDaily

点法很直接。粿条、面、米粉或当天供应的其他粉面任选一种，再决定猪肉份量和要不要加蛋。汤色看起来清，但猪骨从大清早开始熬，配上肉碎和猪肉片，一碗的饱足感比外观更实在。它的尾韵带一点温和甜味，喜欢的人会觉得顺口，也有人觉得比一般本地猪肉汤更甜。我第一次会选粿条，口感软滑，不会抢掉汤本身的味道。

Wanderlog / Google review

这当然是非清真早餐，也不适合避吃猪肉的人。第一次点，可以先别急着放太多调味料，喝两口原汤再决定。想增加口感可选脆面，食量较大则适合混合配料。价格和加料选择会调整，现场直接按当天列出的份量和材料点，比照着旧菜单照片更实际。

Morgan Pork Soup 从 2012 年开始营业，2016 年迁到 Geylang Kopitiam，至今仍专注经营一个档口。这样做的好处是味道比较容易维持，代价就是迟来真的可能吃不到。这里是实用型咖啡店环境，不走精致路线；人多时会比较热。老店屋周围通常有停车位，不过越早到，找位和找桌都会轻松很多。

多数营业日是上午 8 点至中午 12:30，星期二中午 12 点收档，星期日休息。我不会把时间压到最后，尤其准备把它当作 Sekama 路线的主要早餐时，赶在接近午前人潮之前吃到会比较稳。

Sekama is the kind of Kuching breakfast area where timing decides the meal. Morgan Pork Soup serves only through the morning, and the pot can run out before a late arrival reaches Geylang Kopitiam. I would treat this as an early breakfast stop rather than a relaxed brunch plan: arrive before 10am, choose the noodle, and let the clear pork broth do most of the work.

DayakDaily

The basic order is easy to understand. Pick kuey teow, mee, bihun or another available noodle, then decide how much pork and whether to add an egg. The broth is light in colour but built from pork bones simmered from early morning, with minced pork and sliced meat making the bowl more filling than it first looks. Some diners enjoy its gentle savoury-sweet finish; others find the sweetness more noticeable than a typical local pork soup. I would start with kuey teow because it keeps the bowl soft and comforting without competing with the broth.

Wanderlog / Google review

This is not a stall for anyone avoiding pork, and it is a non-halal breakfast choice. For a first order, keep the condiments restrained until you have tasted the soup on its own. Crispy noodles are another option when you want more texture, while a mixed bowl makes sense for a larger appetite. Prices and exact add-ons can change, so order by the portion and ingredients shown at the stall instead of relying on an old menu photo.

Morgan Pork Soup began in 2012 and moved to Geylang Kopitiam in 2016. It remains a single-stall operation, which explains both the consistency people look for and the risk of arriving after the day's batch is gone. The kopitiam setting is practical rather than polished, and the eating area can feel warm when crowded. Parking is generally available around the older shoplots, but an earlier arrival makes both the table and parking situation easier.

The stall operates from 8am to 12:30pm on most opening days, closes at noon on Tuesdays, and is closed on Sundays. I would not cut the timing close: a bowl before the late-morning crowd is the safer plan, especially if this is the main breakfast stop on your Sekama route.

今年1月豪雨引发山崩，Kampung Krusen Kranji进村道路一度坍塌；相隔约8个月，210万令吉的Sungai Kayan河岸防护工程如今正式动工。

1月事故也导致Kampung Krusen Siu吊桥严重受损。当时当局已提醒居民不要使用；最新进展是已拨90万令吉重建，但文件仍在最后评估，开工日期还没公布。

河岸工程工期从9月2日起至2027年9月1日，预计为期12个月。拨款经砂拉越州灾难管理委员会下达，由西连水利灌溉局负责执行和监督。

当局另批准4笔小型设施拨款：15万令吉为3个Krusen村庄安装太阳能设施、10万令吉提升Kampung Krusen Mawang社区礼堂、10万令吉改善当地乡村道路，以及28万令吉提升Krusen Siu的Awah Gawai设施。这些项目的施工时间尚未公布。

Work has begun on a RM2.1 million Sungai Kayan riverbank project in Kampung Krusen Kranji, eight months after heavy rain triggered a landslide that cut the village’s main access road.

The Sept 2 site handover starts a 12-month construction period ending Sept 1, 2027. The Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee is funding the job, while the Drainage and Irrigation Department’s Serian office is responsible for implementation and monitoring.

The January landslide also damaged a suspension bridge at Kampung Krusen Siu. Authorities warned residents then not to use it; its RM900,000 replacement is still at final document-assessment stage and has no announced start date.

Four smaller allocations have also been approved: RM150,000 for solar power in three Krusen villages, RM100,000 each for the Kampung Krusen Mawang community hall and village road, and RM280,000 for the Awah Gawai facility in Krusen Siu. Their schedules have not been announced.

“Kenyalangsat-1”听起来像已上马的卫星任务，但现阶段只是玛拉工艺大学砂拉越分校（UiTM Sarawak）提出的研究构想。

校方本周向州政府汇报多项计划时提出这颗纳米卫星。不过，公告没有交代卫星用途、技术规格、预算、合作单位或发射时间，也未说明项目是否已获批准。

UiTM过去确有卫星研发经验；校方资料记录了UiTMSAT-1和UiTMSAT-2两项计划。可是，最新公告未说明Kenyalangsat-1是否沿用同一团队、技术或合作伙伴。

这次一并提出的研究方向，还包括从砂拉越独居石提取稀土元素及钍、尼帕棕榈碳信用、纳米饮水过滤、木胶稻作现代化和微藻生物燃料。砂分校在哥打三马拉汉和木胶设有校区，但哪一校区负责、学生如何参与，同样没有公布。换句话说，这是一项待落实的研究构想，不是已经动工的卫星项目。

Kenyalangsat-1 is still a research proposal: UiTM Sarawak has not announced a budget, mission, technical design or launch date.

The nano-satellite was one item in a wider research package the Sarawak branch presented to the state government this week. The same package covers rare-earth and thorium recovery from Sarawak monazite, nipah-palm carbon credits, nano-based drinking-water filtration, rice farming in Mukah and microalgae biofuel.

UiTM does have prior nano-satellite experience. Its official records describe UiTMSAT-1 and the later UiTMSAT-2 programme led by the university’s electrical engineering faculty. The latest announcement, however, does not say whether Kenyalangsat-1 will use that team, technology or existing partners.

UiTM Sarawak has campuses in Samarahan and Mukah, but the announcement did not describe student roles or work assigned to either campus. Kenyalangsat-1 therefore remains an idea presented for consideration, not a satellite already under development.
