古晋外环路从Sungai Entingan通往古晋—实里安路交通灯的部分路段，将于10月19日至11月18日进行道路维修，期间实施半幅道路封闭。 砂拉越公共工程局的通知列明，施工范围为Q13-4路段的KM1+100至KM2+200。DayakDaily于10月17日报道这项安排；封闭日期从19日开始，并非发布通知当天已全面封路。 经这条路线驶向古晋—实里安路的驾驶者，须留意具体施工区间。这次安排是指定路段半幅封闭，不是整条古晋外环路关闭。工程局提醒道路使用者预先规划行程，遵守现场临时标志及人员指示，经过施工区时谨慎驾驶。 如需查询交通安排，可在办公时间致电工程局古晋省运作办事处082-203400，或PPESW私人有限公司热线1800-88-8666。通知没有列明每日具体封闭时段。

A section of Kuching Outer Ring Road will be partly closed from Oct 19 to Nov 18 for road repairs, affecting the stretch from Sungai Entingan towards the Jalan Kuching–Serian traffic lights. The Sarawak Public Works Department (JKR) notice, reported by DayakDaily on Oct 17, identifies the work area as Q13-4, KM1+100 to KM2+200. This is a half-road closure on that section, not a notice shutting the entire outer ring road. For drivers using this approach to the Kuching–Serian road, the useful detail is the work-zone location as well as the month-long period. JKR advises road users to plan their journeys, follow temporary signs and instructions, and take care through the construction area. Traffic-flow enquiries can be directed during office hours to the JKR Kuching Divisional Operations Office on 082-203400 or the PPESW Sdn Bhd hotline on 1800-88-8666. The notice does not specify a daily closure timetable.

古晋Jalan PenrissenEverbright Park一栋建筑，10月16日下午发生室内石膏天花板坍塌。砂拉越消拯局说明，现场并不是最初通报所说的屋顶遭暴风掀走。 DayakDaily引述消拯局消息指出，当天下午2时38分接获求助后，浮罗岸消拯局队伍到场检查，发现锌片屋顶没有被掀开，坍塌的是建筑内部的石膏天花板，初步相信与屋顶漏水有关。 事件没有伤亡报告。8名消拯人员检查现场并观察是否仍有其他危险，确认当时情况安全后，于下午3时30分结束行动返回消拯局。 这起事故须区分“室内天花板坍塌”与“屋顶被吹走”，不能把早期求助内容当成到场后的调查结果。消拯行动已在16日下午结束；报道没有交代后续屋顶维修安排，也没有称整栋建筑倒塌。

A ceiling collapse at Everbright Park along Jalan Penrissen in Kuching on Oct 16 involved plaster inside a building—not a roof blown off by a storm, according to the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department. DayakDaily reported that firefighters received the call at 2.38pm. An initial report described storm damage to the roof, but the Padungan team found that the zinc roof had not been torn off. The collapsed plaster ceiling was believed to be linked to a roof leak. No casualties were reported. Eight firefighters checked the site and monitored it for further hazards before concluding the operation at 3.30pm. The distinction matters for anyone who saw the earlier account: the incident was inside the building, and the fire service did not report a whole-roof loss. The operation had ended on Friday afternoon; the report did not give a roof-repair timetable.

在美里接受机器人训练的Matthew Cheong与Timothy Cheong兄弟，代表“Malaysia Boleh”队参加在克罗地亚萨格勒布举行的世界机器人奥林匹克赛（WRO）2026欧洲公开锦标赛，夺得RoboMission Junior组亚军。 两人就读Borneo International School。DayakDaily于10月17日报道赛果，赛事日期为10月13日至16日。此次成绩是欧洲公开锦标赛的组别名次，不应扩大解读为整个WRO赛事的全球总排名。 兄弟俩由美里机器人培训中心TESSLAB指导，备赛内容包括机器人设计、编程及比赛策略。砂拉越政府通过教育、创新及人才发展部和砂拉越数码经济机构，赞助他们出赛。 这届比赛共有来自45个国家的逾220支队伍参与。对砂拉越学生科技教育而言，这项成绩呈现了一条具体的参赛路径：学生在本地培训机构准备，再通过学校、训练团队及州政府支援走上国际赛场。

Sarawak students Matthew Cheong and Timothy Cheong have taken second place in the RoboMission Junior category at the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) 2026 Open Championship Europe in Zagreb, Croatia. The brothers, who attend Borneo International School, competed as team “Malaysia Boleh”. DayakDaily reported their result on Oct 17, following the championship held from Oct 13 to 16. The result is a category placing at the Europe open championship, rather than a claim to an overall WRO world ranking. Their preparation took place closer to home: Miri-based robotics centre TESSLAB trained the team in robot design, coding and competition strategy. The Sarawak government supported their participation through the Ministry of Education, Innovation and Talent Development and Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation. The championship drew more than 220 teams from 45 countries. The brothers’ result gives Sarawak’s school-age robotics scene an international competition milestone, with local training and state-backed participation both part of the route to Zagreb.

古晋南市市政局连续第三次获得东盟清洁旅游城市标准认可，本轮有效期为2026至2028年。认可由马来西亚旅游、艺术及文化部颁发，属于国家层面的评定。 DayakDaily于10月16日报道这项消息。对市民及商家而言，与认可最直接相关的是日常使用的公共空间、市场及饮食场所；这些地方的整洁程度，也影响游客对古晋美食与城市环境的印象。 这项清洁旅游城市认可，与古晋已有的联合国教科文组织创意美食之都身份不同，并不是新增一项教科文组织称号。两者在城市旅游发展中各有作用，不宜混为一谈。 南市市政局表示，将继续改善清洁工作及公共设施，并鼓励居民、商家和社区团体妥善处理垃圾、爱护共用空间。此次报道没有同时公布新的拨款数额或具体工程时间表；认可有效至2028年，也不代表所有设施改善已经完成。

Kuching South City Council (MBKS) has secured another term of recognition under the ASEAN Clean Tourist City Standard, covering 2026–2028. It is the council’s third consecutive recognition, DayakDaily reported on Oct 16. The recognition was awarded at national level by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Malaysia (MOTAC). It is a cleanliness standard recognition, not a new UNESCO designation; Kuching’s UNESCO City of Gastronomy status is separate. The connection for residents and traders is in the places both locals and visitors use: public spaces, markets and dining areas. Cleanliness in those shared spaces supports the city’s food businesses as well as its tourism appeal. MBKS said it would continue improving cleanliness and public amenities, while urging residents, businesses and community groups to help care for shared facilities and dispose of waste properly. The report did not announce a new funding allocation or a dated programme of works alongside the recognition.

Everwin 于 2026 年 10 月 16 至 18 日推出蔬菜与水果促销。官方帖列出的参与地点包括古晋 Kenyalang 和 Semariang 分店，也涵盖其他 Everwin 分店。 官方帖文文字没有列出每项商品的价格，建议到店确认当日优惠；商品促销数量有限，适合这几天刚好要补货的人留意。

Everwin is running a fruit and vegetable promotion from 16 to 18 October 2026. The official post lists Kuching branches including Kenyalang and Semariang, alongside other participating Everwin outlets. The post does not give item-by-item prices in its text, so check the offer at the branch before choosing. Promotion stock is limited; this is a short weekend window.

10月18日星期日傍晚要开车进古晋市中心，须留意六条道路将在下午6时至晚上9时局部封闭。 受影响的是Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg、Jalan Barrack、Jalan Pearl、Jalan McDougall、Wayang Street及Main Bazaar。当天有圣体游行从圣若瑟主教座堂出发，路线全长3.8公里。 警方及志愿警卫团人员会在场协助疏导交通。通告所指的是这三小时内的局部封路，并非上述道路从早到晚全面禁止通行。 周日晚间若安排接送、送货，或须穿越市中心，可先核对路线是否经过这些路段，并多预留一些时间。尤其目的地在Wayang Street或Main Bazaar一带，不宜假设平日惯用的入口全程都能通行；抵达现场后应依执勤人员指示行驶。

Drivers heading into central Kuching on Sunday, October 18, should allow for partial road closures between 6pm and 9pm. The affected roads are Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg, Jalan Barrack, Jalan Pearl, Jalan McDougall, Wayang Street and Main Bazaar. The restrictions are linked to a 3.8km Eucharistic procession starting from St Joseph's Cathedral. Police and Rela personnel will help regulate traffic. The notice describes partial closures during that three-hour period, rather than a full-day shutdown of every road on the list. For a Sunday evening pickup, delivery or trip through the city centre, check whether the route crosses these streets and leave extra time. Follow directions at the roadblocks; a familiar approach to Main Bazaar or Wayang Street may not be available throughout the procession.

古晋12处地标被装进一本立体导览书，翻开纸页便能看见建筑纸景，旁边结合历史、插画及趣味资料，让城市故事不只停留在一段文字。 这本Heritage Pop-Up Guidebook以古晋为主题，收录婆罗洲文化博物馆、砂拉越博物馆、玛格烈堡、旧法庭、古晋邮政总局及浮罗岸大白猫等地标，也附有城市简介与地图，帮助读者把不同地点连起来认识。 10月15日的介绍交代，制作从原型设计、纸件裁切一路做到印刷组装，作品也已赠予砂拉越博物馆局。立体纸景的用意，是让年轻读者通过能展开的建筑形态接近本地历史。 对家长与教师，这类书可作为认识古晋建筑的起点，再把书中地标与真实街景对应起来。它提供的是文化学习工具，并非各景点开放时间或入场安排的最新通告。 另一本较简单的古晋地标导览书仍在开发，拟加入简短介绍，以及盖章、素描和笔记空间。后续版本尚待推出，不能与现有立体版混为一谈。

Twelve Kuching landmarks have been turned into three-dimensional paper scenes in a locally designed heritage guidebook, pairing a city map with history and illustrations. The Heritage Pop-Up Guidebook introduces sites including the Borneo Cultures Museum, Sarawak Museum, Fort Margherita, Old Court House, Kuching General Post Office and the Padungan Great White Cat Statue. A map links the featured places, making the book a way to connect individual buildings with the wider city. An October 15 report describes the designer's work from prototype and hand-cut paper components through printing and assembly. The publication was presented to the Sarawak Museum Department, with a focus on making local history more engaging, especially for younger readers. For families or teachers, the format offers a visual starting point for learning about Kuching before looking at the buildings themselves. It is a heritage publication, rather than a notice that the landmarks have changed their visitor arrangements. A second, simpler guidebook is being developed with short introductions and room for stamps, sketches and notes. Its release is still forthcoming; the existing pop-up edition and the planned follow-up are separate publications.

美里科廷大学校园一个水样验出非原生普通绿鬣蜥的环境DNA，但研究人员强调，这还不能确认校园现时有多少活体，甚至不能单凭结果认定仍有活体留在当地。 10月15日公布的发现，来自2026年科廷全球BioBlitz生物调查。美里、珀斯及新加坡三地共有逾100名学生与研究人员参与，整体调查分析2万6572条不同DNA序列，识别572个物种；这些数字涵盖调查整体，不是美里校区单独的物种数量。 环境DNA技术采集生物遗留在水体等环境中的遗传物质，因此不必先看见动物，也可能找到物种线索。不过，绿鬣蜥DNA来自哪里、是否对应仍在校园活动的个体，还须进一步追查。 对砂拉越的生态监测，这次成果展示了水样筛查的用途，也说明筛查讯号与确认族群是两回事。公众可通过科廷的eDNA Viewer查看调查结果；校方计划逐步扩展至全球六个校区，累积长期比较资料。

A water sample from Curtin Malaysia's Miri campus has yielded DNA from the non-native common green iguana, giving researchers a lead for biodiversity monitoring rather than a confirmed count of live animals. The result was reported on October 15 as part of the 2026 Curtin Global BioBlitz. More than 100 students and researchers took part across Miri, Perth and Singapore. Across the survey, 26,572 distinct DNA sequences were analysed and 572 species identified; those totals are not a species count for the Miri campus alone. Environmental DNA comes from genetic material organisms leave in their surroundings. It can flag a species without researchers seeing an animal, but the iguana signal does not establish where the material came from or whether live iguanas remain on campus. For Sarawak's environmental monitoring, the useful next step is follow-up checking of the signal, not treating a positive sample as proof of an established population. Results can be explored through Curtin's eDNA Viewer, while the university plans to extend the initiative to all six global campuses for longer-term comparisons.

14名持牌公园导游完成蓝卑尔山国家公园五天培训，课程把生态解说与步道安全放在一起，提升带队认识森林的能力。 培训在10月9日至13日举行，参与者包括来自姆鲁和美里的资深导游，以及刚从尼亚国家公园毕业的新导游。砂拉越森林企业机构在10月15日公布培训成果。 除了当地地质与森林植被，课程也涵盖鸟类、哺乳动物、昆虫、爬虫和两栖动物，并加入安全行走及事故预防内容。对准备到访的游客，持牌导游的作用不只是认路，也包括帮助理解沿途生态。 学员还探讨了在严格安全程序下开展夜间导览的可能性。这属于培训及产品探索，不能直接当作夜游已经开放预约。 想安排导览的游客，可先向园方了解持牌导游、当前开放活动与步道安排；若打算夜间到访，更应先确认是否已有获准行程，不要只凭培训消息自行安排行动。

Fourteen licensed park guides have completed a five-day course on Lambir Hills National Park, combining biodiversity knowledge with safer trail navigation. Held from October 9 to 13, the training brought together experienced guides from Mulu and Miri and newly graduated guides from Niah National Park. Sarawak Forestry Corporation reported the completion on October 15. The programme covered Lambir's geology, forest vegetation, birds, mammals, insects, reptiles and amphibians, alongside incident prevention. The mix is relevant to visitors who want more than a walk between scenic stops: a guide can help explain the forest while navigating its terrain. Participants also explored the possibility of guided night walks under strict safety procedures. This was a training component, not a confirmed public booking launch. Visitors interested in a guided trip can ask the park about available licensed guides and current permitted activities before arranging their visit, especially if they are considering an after-dark outing.
