AirBorneo has been allocated airport slots for direct flights between Kuching and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport — but the airline says it hasn't formally applied just yet. The slot allocation happened during the 158th IATA Slot Conference in Bangkok from June 9-11, where AirBorneo was listed alongside Riyadh Air, Virgin Atlantic, and SkyUp Nistru as new airlines receiving slots for Thailand services. According to Thailand's The Nation, AirBorneo was allocated 14 flights per week on the Kuching-Suvarnabhumi-Kuching route for the Winter 2026/2027 season (Oct 25, 2026 to March 27, 2027). [image: 1781503391488-airborneo-logo-resized.jpg] Source: Borneo Post However, AirBorneo has since clarified that no formal application has been submitted for the Bangkok route at this stage. "Destinations across the region are part of our longer-term route planning, but nothing has been formally confirmed," the airline said in a statement. AirBorneo stressed that its immediate priority is stabilising its current intra-Borneo operations following service disruptions earlier this month. The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) identified Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Samui, and U-Tapao as airports experiencing strong travel demand ahead of the high season. Tourism Minister Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah had earlier said the airline could expand to regional destinations including Thailand from 2027, subject to operational readiness.

古晋多个地区居民近期投诉自来水浑浊变色，砂拉越水务（Sarawak Water）强调 Batu Kitang 滤水站运作正常，问题出在输水管网内的沉淀物受水流变动影响。 6月初开始，古晋县多个地区陆续出现自来水浑浊、水质变色的问题。砂拉越人民联合党（SUPP）公共投诉局主任 Milton Foo 在6月12日指出，他在24小时内就接到超过10宗投诉，呼吁当局公开水质报告并派发干净水源给受影响居民。 [image: 1781762762899-water-tap.jpg] 砂拉越水务昨日发文告说明，Batu Kitang 滤水站处理过程一切正常，水质变色是因为供水管网内部的沉淀物受水流变化及系统稳定化工程影响而浮动。 自6月6日起已展开缓解措施，包括加强管网冲洗及现场监测。最新数据显示，大部分受影响区域的水质已有明显改善，投诉量也比上周减少。 砂拉越水务表示冲洗和监测工作将持续进行，直至供水系统完全稳定、水质恢复满意水平为止，并对造成不便向用户致歉。 Borneo Post 地点： 古晋县多个区域 详情： Batu Kitang 滤水站运作正常；水质变色因管网沉淀物浮动；冲洗作业持续进行中 新闻来源： Borneo Post 你觉得呢？

讲起古晋的户外活动，本地人第一个提到的肯定是山都望（Gunung Santubong）。几乎每个古晋人都认识爬过这座山的朋友，而且回来的每个人都带着故事（和酸痛的双腿）。 海拔810米的山都望是古晋最高的山，沿海一带几乎都看得到它。但不要被它的高度骗到 — 这座山真的不是在开玩笑。 [image: 1782094249824-1_santubong_bridge-resized.jpg] 从山都望桥看过去的画面，远远就能看到这座巨山 我们综合了几个爬过的朋友的评价： "我自认体能不错，但最后那1.3公里差点要了我的命。21个梯子。21个！" — Jason L., Google Reviews "早上7点开始爬，10点半到顶。山顶的风景完全值得。整个海岸线和古晋市区尽收眼底。" — Faridah M., TripAdvisor "跟朋友一起去，有几个在 F7 就得折返，因为实在太陡了。不丢脸，这座山值得敬畏。" — Alex C., 古晋登山群 [image: 1782094250331-2_summit_view-resized.jpg] 山顶的景观 — 南中国海延伸至天际线 据爬过的朋友说，最恐怖的路段是从 F7 到山顶（F15）这一段。距离只有1.3公里，但这段路几乎是垂直的。你要抓着绳子爬、靠铝合金梯子攀、还要用树根当踏脚点。 [image: 1782094250973-5_ropes_ladders-resized.jpg] 绳子和梯子 — 最后攻顶必备 好消息是，山下有2.5公里的环线步道，难度低很多，可以在雨林里走走又不用爬到喘不过气。 实用资讯： 公园 7am 开放，中午12点截止上山 — 要早去 Damai 半岛山脚 Sarawak Forestry Corporation 办事处（古晋市区约35分钟车程） ️ 入门票（小收费） 一定要穿抓地力好的登山鞋，不穿就别去 每人至少带 1.5L 水 🪰 心理准备：21个梯子等着你 [image: 1782094252040-3_wetlands-resized.jpg] 山顶可以看到湿地和海岸线，古晋的自然风光一览无余 🧠 老手提醒：不要一个人爬。下山其实比上山更危险 — 脚酸 + 陡坡 = 容易滑倒。跟朋友一起比较好。 还有一件事 — 山都望的传说。相传这座山是一位被诅咒化成石头的公主。山的一侧有崩裂的痕迹，据说是她姐姐 Sejinjang 公主用捣米枱打到的。信不信由你，但这个故事让这座山多了一层神秘感。 地点：Santubong National Park, Damai Peninsula Google Maps 搜尋：Gunung Santubong 你爬过山都望吗？留言分享一下！用了多久？攻顶了吗？

English Version — Crocodile Farm Honestly, when I first heard about a "crocodile farm" in Kuching, I thought it'd be just a small pond with a few crocs. Turns out I was dead wrong. Jong's Crocodile Farm & Recreation Park in Siburan (about 30-40 mins from Kuching city) is home to over a thousand crocodiles — from tiny babies to massive saltwater giants that'll make you rethink your life choices [image: 1781662025150-croc_1_pool.png] Source: Crocodile enclosure at Jong's Crocodile Farm The Feeding Show is the main event There's a scheduled feeding session where staff go in and feed the crocs. The moment they throw food in, these lazy-looking dinosaurs turn into lightning-fast predators. The contrast is insane. One Google Maps reviewer said: "First time seeing a croc feeding show this close. It's surprisingly thrilling! The staff also explains the behavior of each croc — very educational." Another visitor wrote: "My kids keep asking to go back. Way more fun than the regular zoo tbh." [image: 1781662025252-croc_2_feeding.jpg] Source: Feeding show in action More than just crocs Besides the main crocodile enclosures, there's a mini zoo section with monkeys, birds, snakes, monitor lizards, and other local wildlife. It's a compact but well-curated place — you can easily spend 1-2 hours exploring. From TripAdvisor: "Better than I expected. The whole place is well maintained, toilets are clean, and for RM20 entry fee it's honestly great value." [image: 1781662025354-croc_3_entrance.jpg] Source: Close-up of a massive saltwater crocodile What you need to know ️ Location: Jalan Puncak Borneo, Siburan (~30 mins drive from Kuching) Hours: Daily 9:00AM - 5:00PM Entry: Adults ~RM20-30, Kids ~RM10-15 Feeding show times: Check at the counter (usually morning & afternoon sessions) Suggested visit time: 1-2 hours [image: 1781662025455-croc_4_big.jpg] Source: Jong's Crocodile Farm entrance Bottom line: If you're visiting Kuching with family, or if you're just fascinated by these prehistoric creatures, this place is worth the drive. It's not a luxury attraction — it's raw, educational, and genuinely fun. There aren't many large-scale crocodile farms in Malaysia, and Jong's is easily one of the best-run ones Anyone else been here? Drop your experience below

Budi Diesel subsidy now covers company-owned pickup trucks and jeeps — Cabinet approves expansion ahead of July 1 rollout The government has expanded the Budi Madani Diesel programme to include company-owned private pickup trucks and jeeps.

[image: 1782540162346-budi-diesel-pickup.jpg] Finance Minister II Senator Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said the Cabinet approved the expansion as part of several enhancements to ensure a smoother transition to the targeted diesel subsidy mechanism.

古晋旅行如果只能走一条街，我会毫不犹豫推荐 Main Bazaar 和 Carpenter Street。 不是那种"来都来了随便走走"的程度，而是认真逛的话你可以花掉整个下午，而且每次去都有新发现。 [image: 1781749205496-mb_shophouses.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / 古晋 Main Bazaar 一排老店屋，浓浓南洋风情 这条街到底有什么好逛？我分开讲 Main Bazaar — 手信天堂 Main Bazaar 就在河滨公园旁边，一整排超过百年历史的店屋。每家店卖的东西都不太一样——有卖砂拉越原住民手工艺品的，pua kumbu（伊班织布）、木雕面具、串珠饰品；有卖古玩的，旧钱币、老式电话、二战时期的瓷碗；还有胡椒专卖店，白胡椒黑胡椒整包卖，价格比超市还便宜。 Google Maps 上一位游客写道："You can find everything Sarawak here in one street. Great souvenirs at reasonable prices if you bargain."（4.5星） TripAdvisor 也有评论说："逛了一整个下午，买了两块 pua kumbu 布料和一把 parang，老板还耐心解释了每种花纹的意思。" 价格方面注意：如果老板开价太高，可以礼貌杀价，尤其是买多件的时候。 Carpenter Street — 咖啡馆与老字号 Main Bazaar 转角拐进去就是 Carpenter Street（中文叫亚答街／传统木匠街）。这边气氛很不一样——少了游客的喧嚣，多了本地人的日常。 这条街上有几间非常值得进去的咖啡馆： Old Charming Café — 由老店屋改造，复古南洋装潢，白咖啡和烤面包是招牌 Black Bean Cafe — 年轻人开的，咖啡水准不错，适合歇脚 除了咖啡馆，这里还有中药行、老式理发店、金铺。一位当地人评价说："Carpenter Street is where old Kuching still breathes. Some shops have been here for three generations." ️ 购物小贴士 Main Bazaar 的店大概 9am 开到 5-6pm，但有些 cafe 开到晚上 星期日部分店休息 推荐买的东西：砂拉越胡椒、pua kumbu、木雕、手工串珠、本地零食（如 kek lapis） 部分店家接受 Touch 'n Go / 信用卡 [image: 1781749206074-five_foot_way-resized.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / 古晋老店的五脚基（five foot way），典型的南洋骑楼走廊 怎么去 Main Bazaar / Carpenter Street 就在 Kuching Waterfront 旁边，走路就能到。如果你住在市中心（像 Hilton、Grand Margherita、Merdeka Palace），步行5-10分钟就到。开车的话附近有露天停车场，周末比较难找位。 我的建议 如果你只有半天时间在古晋市区，这条路值得走一趟。不是那种"旅游陷阱"式的购物街，而是真的有本地特色的地方。买点手信、喝杯白咖啡、拍拍老建筑——你是游客？这里就是古晋的名片。 去过的朋友来分享一下，你在这条街买过什么有意思的东西？🫵 [image: 1781749205676-mb_wharf.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / Main Bazaar 旁的河岸码头，以前是货船停靠的地方 [image: 1781749206485-river_embankment.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / 河堤与 Main Bazaar 全景

If you're looking for a day trip that feels completely different from the usual Kuching spots, Gunung Gading National Park is it. It's about 75km from town, near Lundu — about an hour and a half drive. And yeah, the distance is worth it. [image: 1782181302357-gg_waterfall.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / Waterfall in Gunung Gading NP Why people go Two things: the Rafflesia flower and the waterfalls. Gunung Gading is one of the few places in Borneo where you can see Rafflesia tuan-mudae — the world's largest flower — in the wild. The problem? It blooms unpredictably. Like, only a few days a year. But here's the good part: the park rangers actually keep track and will let the tourist offices know when one is about to bloom. So if you call ahead to Sarawak Forestry, you can time your visit. One visitor on Google Maps said: "I went three times before I finally saw it. When it opened, it was huge — easily 60cm across. Smelled like rotten meat though lol." [image: 1782181302441-gg_rafflesia2.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / Rafflesia tuan-mudae Another traveler commented on TripAdvisor: "We got lucky — the ranger called us the day before to say a Rafflesia was opening. Rushed down from Kuching the next morning. Absolutely surreal. Worth the drive." The waterfall trail Even if the Rafflesia isn't blooming, the waterfall trail is no joke. There are 7 cascades along the trail — you can hike to the 7th waterfall (the biggest one) and it takes about 45 minutes each way. Multiple reviewers mention the 2nd waterfall as a great spot for a dip. One Malaysian hiker wrote: "The 2nd waterfall is perfect for swimming. Water is cold but refreshing after the walk. Bring proper shoes, the trail can get slippery." [image: 1782181302524-gg_waterfall7.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / Waterfall No.7, Gunung Gading The summit trail If you're more adventurous, the summit trail is a 6-hour return climb up Gunung Gading itself. It's steep in parts and not for beginners, but the view from the top on a clear day is stunning. According to a review on TripAdvisor: "The summit trail is tough but rewarding. You go through different types of forest — lowland dipterocarp, then montane. Saw a few pitcher plants along the way." Visitor centre The park's visitor centre is built like a traditional Bidayuh baruk (head-house). It's actually quite beautiful and has exhibits about Rafflesia and the local ecosystem. One Google reviewer said: "The baruk-style building itself is worth a photo stop. The staff were helpful and explained where to find the Rafflesia." [image: 1782181302612-gg_baruk.jpg] 来源：Wikimedia Commons / Baruk-style visitor centre What you need to know Location: Near Lundu, ~75km from Kuching (1.5h drive) Open: Daily, 8am-5pm Entry fee: RM10 for adults (Malaysian), RM20 for foreigners 🥾 Trails: Waterfall Trail (7 cascades, ~45 min each way), Summit Trail (~6 hrs return) Best time for Rafflesia: Call Sarawak Forestry ahead — they track blooming times Getting there: Drive via Batu Kawa-Matang road, then towards Lundu. Scenic route through farmland and a river crossing. A few things to note Bring mosquito repellent. The forest can get mozzie-heavy. Wear proper hiking shoes. The trail to the waterfalls can be slippery, especially after rain. Food options are limited near the park. Grab something in Lundu town before heading up. You can combine this with a visit to Pandan Beach or Siar Beach nearby. Verdict? Gunung Gading is one of those places that rewards patience. You might not see the Rafflesia on your first trip, but the waterfall trail alone is solid. And if you do time it right — wow. One of those proper bucket list moments.

Sabah and Sarawak have agreed to formalise cross-regional economic cooperation in Borneo, marking a strategic push to strengthen trade, investment, and overall regional development. Sabah Deputy Chief Minister II Datuk Ewon Benedick said the agreement was reached after a courtesy call on Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan on June 26. The collaboration will be coordinated between Sabah's Ministry of Industrial Development and Entrepreneurship and Sarawak's Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment (MINTRED). "Sabah needs Sarawak, and Sarawak needs Sabah to ensure this Borneo territory develops more dynamically," Ewon said at the launch of the 17th DCCI-KCCI Gawai-Kaamatan Exhibition and Business Event in Kuching. He highlighted that Gawai and Kaamatan have grown beyond harvest festivals into economic platforms that link business, culture and community across Borneo. The two-day exhibition features more than 50 exhibitors from Sabah and Sarawak showcasing handicrafts, agro-based products, food, and creative industries. SMEs from both states were also encouraged to tap into cross-regional opportunities, explore digital tech, and strengthen networks through business-matching sessions.
