全国 MyKad 打印服务在 8 月 26 日至 31 日期间预计暂受影响，国民登记局（JPN）正进行新一代身份证转换。 古晋民众若近期没有紧急需要办理 MyKad 更换或补办，可先暂缓申请。JPN 表示，转换工作涉及现有 MyKad 结构的更替，受影响的是打印环节；这并不表示全国所有国民登记局柜台都全面关闭。 为年满 12 岁孩子首次申请 MyKad 的父母或监护人，也受促稍等一段时间，让孩子在新卡开始发出后领取新一代 MyKad。若有紧急证件事务，前往柜台前先向 JPN 确认最新办理安排，因为公告没有说明所有新卡的统一正式发出日期。

MyKad printing services nationwide are expected to face a temporary disruption from Aug 26 to 31 as the National Registration Department (JPN) transitions to the new-generation identity card. For Kuching residents without an urgent need, JPN advises postponing MyKad replacement or exchange applications until the transition period is over. The disruption concerns printing as the department moves away from the existing card structure; it does not amount to an announcement that every National Registration Department counter is closed. Parents or guardians applying for a child’s first MyKad at age 12 are also encouraged to wait, so the child can receive the new-generation card when issuance begins. Anyone with an urgent identity-document matter should confirm the latest arrangement with JPN before going to a counter, as the notice does not give a single nationwide date for every new card to be issued.

有时候，真正值得开车出去的地方，不是景点多，而是到了以后不用急着走。Sampadi Redbee Farm 比较像这种路线：从古晋出发大约一小时，抵达后先看海，再吃一桌海鲜；想把周末拉长一点，还可以住下来、用泳池。 [image: 1787737784186-redbee-01.jpg] 来源：Tzeyung Toh / Facebook 螃蟹、海鲜和一桌热菜，是这里最容易让人把行程放慢的部分。除了海鲜，也有椰心、牛肉等食材。若同行的人有人想吃、有人想看风景，这种农场加海边的组合，比单独找一间餐厅更好安排。 [image: 1787737784314-redbee-02.jpg] 来源：Tzeyung Toh / Facebook 如果是我，我会把它排在下午，不会一早冲过去吃完就回。Sampadi、Sungai Cina 一带的路程，适合留一点时间给海边和傍晚的光线；吃完饭后，时间允许就住一晚。这样安排，车程才真正变成小旅行的一部分。反过来，如果你只是想快速吃一顿海鲜，市区会有更多方便的选择。 [image: 1787737784423-redbee-03.jpg] 来源：Tzeyung Toh / Facebook 这趟不能用“随时到、菜单固定”的餐厅逻辑来安排。出发前先联系 017-842 72750，问清楚当天有什么海鲜和菜色、是否需要预订；住宿和泳池也一起确认。这样到现场才不会发现期待的菜没有，或设施当天不能用。 [image: 1787737784540-redbee-04.jpg] 来源：Tzeyung Toh / Facebook 地点在 Sungai Cina, Lorong 3, Sampadi, 94500 Kuching, Sarawak。地图可以搜 Redbee Camp；从古晋出发约一小时，实际时间还是看出发点和路况。带小孩或长辈同行，我会先把厕所、下水范围和活动空间问好，雨天也留一个备用计划。 [image: 1787737784650-redbee-05.jpg] 来源：Tzeyung Toh / Facebook 它适合把一餐饭过成一趟海边小旅行，也适合想住一晚、慢慢看风景的人；如果只是临时找一间不用预约的餐厅，就不必勉强把车开到这里。你会为了这样的海边行程去 Sampadi 吗？

The best day trips are not always the ones with the most attractions. Sometimes the point is to drive out, slow down, eat well and not rush back. Sampadi Redbee Farm fits that kind of plan: about an hour from Kuching, with a coastal setting, seafood and local ingredients, plus accommodation and a swimming pool. [image: 1787737784186-redbee-01.jpg] Source: Tzeyung Toh / Facebook The crab, seafood and shared dishes are what make this feel more like a short getaway than a quick restaurant stop. Coconut heart and beef are also part of the food offering. It works especially well for a family or small group where some people want a meal and others want an open coastal setting. [image: 1787737784314-redbee-02.jpg] Source: Tzeyung Toh / Facebook If I were planning the route, I would arrive in the afternoon rather than drive out, eat and turn straight around. Leave time for the coast and the evening light, then stay overnight if the schedule allows. That is when the drive starts to feel like a proper outing. If all you want is a fast seafood meal, the city offers more convenient choices. [image: 1787737784423-redbee-03.jpg] Source: Tzeyung Toh / Facebook This is not a place I would plan like a walk-in restaurant with a fixed menu. Call 017-842 72750 before leaving to ask what seafood and dishes are available that day and whether a booking is needed. Confirm the accommodation and pool access at the same time, so the plan matches what is actually available when you arrive. [image: 1787737784540-redbee-04.jpg] Source: Tzeyung Toh / Facebook The address is Sungai Cina, Lorong 3, Sampadi, 94500 Kuching, Sarawak. For directions, search Redbee Camp on Google Maps. It is roughly an hour from Kuching, depending on your starting point and traffic. With children or older family members, I would confirm the toilets, water access and activity areas first, and keep a rain plan ready. [image: 1787737784650-redbee-05.jpg] Source: Tzeyung Toh / Facebook This suits people who want to turn a meal into a coastal escape, especially if an overnight stay is part of the plan. It is less suitable when you want a no-booking restaurant that you can drop into on impulse. Would you make the drive to Sampadi for this kind of coastal outing?

砂拉越“Op Gali Mega”查扣物逾4055万令吉，14人被扣留。 这起联合行动横跨古晋、石隆门、三马拉汉、斯里阿曼、沐胶和林梦6个地区、共7个地点。砂拉越普通行动部队（GOF）与土地测量局于8月19日至22日检查采矿、挖土及采砂活动；初步调查指其中3个地点涉嫌违反《砂拉越土地法》。 沐胶一处煤炭收集与储存地点起获约8525公吨煤炭、4台挖掘机、1台起重机、2艘驳船和2艘拖船，估值约2446万令吉。三马拉汉两项行动则扣押约20吨泥土、约2986吨河砂，以及罗里、挖掘机、拖船、驳船和数码磅秤；共有10名男子在这两项行动中被扣留。 这次行动所扣押的煤炭、泥土、河砂、车辆、机械和设备，总值超过4055万令吉；14名本地男子被扣留。 被扣留者与扣押物已交由沐胶及三马拉汉土地测量局分局，援引《砂拉越土地法》展开调查。有关当局也提醒采矿、挖泥、挖土或天然资源买卖业者，必须先取得相关批准。案件仍在调查中，被扣留不等于已经定罪。 [image: 1787717581254-coal-sand-ops.jpeg] 来源：Sarawak Tribune

Op Gali Mega has detained 14 men and uncovered seized items valued at more than RM40.55 million across Sarawak. Fourteen local men were detained after a four-day joint operation found suspected breaches linked to mining, earth removal and sand activities at three of seven sites inspected across Sarawak. The Sarawak General Operations Force Brigade and the Land and Survey Department ran Op Gali Mega from Aug 19 to 22, covering Kuching, Bau, Kota Samarahan, Sri Aman, Mukah and Limbang. The coal, earth, sand, vehicles, machinery and equipment seized in the operation were estimated at more than RM40.55 million in total. The largest haul came from a coal collection and storage site in Mukah: about 8,525 metric tonnes of coal, four excavators, a crane, two barges and two tugboats, valued at about RM24.46 million. In Kota Samarahan, 10 men were detained in two operations involving earth removal and river sand. Those seizures included roughly 20 tonnes of earth, 2,986 tonnes of river sand, lorries, excavators, a tugboat, a barge and a digital weighing scale. The detainees and seized items were handed to the Mukah and Samarahan divisional Land and Survey offices for investigation under the Sarawak Land Code. Authorities also reminded operators handling mining, dredging, earth removal or natural-resource sales to obtain the required approvals. The investigation is ongoing, and detention is not a conviction. [image: 1787717581254-coal-sand-ops.jpeg] Source: Sarawak Tribune

古晋国际机场部分外部天花板受损，修复工作已经展开。 马来西亚机场公司8月26日表示，古晋国际机场（KIA）抵境区附近的受损范围已经围起，工作人员正进行修复；机场营运没有中断。 损坏发生在25日下午强风暴雨吹过古晋期间。古晋及三马拉汉多个地点也出现树倒；达闽达雅一带有公寓屋顶铁片和结构架被吹落，砸中附近民宅，没有人员受伤。 目前没有航班暂停的消息。近期要从KIA出发的乘客，出门前查看航空公司通知，抵达机场时也预留一点时间，并避开受损及施工范围。 [image: 1787717444278-kia-storm.jpg] 来源：DayakDaily

Storm damage repairs are under way at Kuching International Airport. Malaysia Airports said the affected section of the terminal’s external ceiling structure, near the arrival area, has been secured while workers carry out repairs. Airport operations are continuing as normal. The damage followed strong winds and heavy rain across Kuching on Aug 25. Trees also fell in Kuching and Samarahan. At Tabuan Dayak, roofing sheets and structural frames blown from an apartment block struck nearby houses; local coverage reported no injuries. There is no indication of a flight suspension in the latest update. Passengers using KIA should check their airline’s notice before leaving and allow a little extra time around the terminal while the work continues.

第一次来古晋，我会把砂拉越叻沙排在前几餐：香料、椰奶感的浓汤，配上面条、鸡蛋和海鲜，一碗就能先认识这座城市的味道。住在市区或刚抵达古晋的旅客，ICOM Square 的 King Laksa Sarawak 是一个方便安排的选择；除了叻沙，也有哥罗面和饭类可点。 [image: 1787713435131-1-resized.jpg] 图片：King Laksa Sarawak 官方社交媒体 [image: 1787713435729-2-resized.jpg] 图片：King Laksa Sarawak 官方社交媒体 我的点餐顺序会是先试普通砂拉越叻沙，想吃得更丰富再加大虾、苏东或竹蛏等海鲜版本。普通一碗约 RM10，叻沙 Pattaya 曾有约 RM15 的记录；实际价格和供应会变动，所以预算抓 RM10–RM15 比较稳。汤头走浓郁路线，辣度相对温和，怕辣的人可以先从普通版本开始。 [image: 1787713436054-3.jpg] 图片：King Laksa Sarawak 官方社交媒体 [image: 1787713436139-4.jpg] 图片：King Laksa Sarawak 官方社交媒体 这家店适合穆斯林旅客：这里有 halal 选择，也有鸡肉类选择。营业时间每日 06:00–23:00；如果行程赶，我会避开午餐最忙的时段，海鲜加料也应预留预算，并接受热门时段等候或个别菜色售罄的可能。ICOM Square 相比老城区小茶室较方便驾车，但停车后仍要从商业区步行到店。 地点：Unit A101 & Unit A102，Block A 底层，Jalan Pending，ICOM Square，Kuching City Centre，93450 Kuching，Sarawak。 打开 Google Maps 吃完后可以接古晋河滨与老城区短路线；若是你的第一碗砂拉越叻沙，会先点普通版，还是直接加大虾？

A first bowl of Sarawak laksa should tell you what Kuching tastes like: a fragrant, creamy-spiced broth, noodles, egg and seafood in one generous spoonful. For visitors staying around the city centre, King Laksa Sarawak at ICOM Square is a practical stop, with an all-day schedule and a menu that also makes room for kolo mee and simple rice dishes. [image: 1787713435131-1.jpg] Source: King Laksa Sarawak official social media [image: 1787713435729-2.jpg] Source: King Laksa Sarawak official social media My first-order advice is the regular Sarawak laksa if you want to understand the base flavour; choose one of the seafood versions when prawns, squid or bamboo clams are the reason you came. The broth is presented as rich and mild enough for diners who are cautious with chilli, but the seafood upgrades will change the bill. A useful working budget is about RM10–RM15 for a straightforward bowl; prices and availability can change. [image: 1787713436054-3.jpg] Source: King Laksa Sarawak official social media [image: 1787713436139-4.jpg] Source: King Laksa Sarawak official social media The venue’s own profile describes its food as halal, and the menu includes chicken-based options. I would go earlier or outside the busiest lunch period if I had a tight itinerary; published hours are 6:00am–11:00pm daily, while individual dishes can sell out or take longer during a rush. ICOM Square is easier for drivers than a small old-town coffee shop, but allow time to find a bay and walk from the commercial centre parking area. Venue: Unit A101 & Unit A102, Ground Floor, Block A, Jalan Pending, ICOM Square, Kuching City Centre, 93450 Kuching, Sarawak. Open in Google Maps From here, I would pair lunch with a short waterfront-and-old-town loop, or use ICOM Square as a convenient first meal after arriving in Kuching. If this is your first Sarawak laksa, would you start with the regular bowl or go straight for prawns?

Simunjan供水升级有了2029年完成目标，但受影响地区较快看到的进展，可能是高架水箱。 Kampung Hijrah高架水箱目标在2027年8月完成，主要协助在主水管工程进行期间仍面对供水中断的地区。现有公开资料还没有列出各村施工时间、承包商或临时供水安排。 主工程将更换及提升Simunjan 73.2公里老旧水管，预算RM4570万令吉；它属于Samarahan供水分配系统升级配套，整体范围148.3公里、总值RM8437万令吉。部分工程预计在2026年底或2027年初展开，整个计划分阶段做到2029年。 居民暂时不要把工程宣布当成断水问题已经解决。受影响地区应继续留意JBALB和地方政府通告，并记录断水的日期和地点。工程进入有关路段后，也要预留供水或通行安排改变的可能。接下来可留意正式动工通知、高架水箱进度，以及首批施工路段名单。 [image: 1787706573885-simunjan-water.jpg] 来源：DayakDaily／TVS

Simunjan’s water upgrade has a 2029 finish line — but affected areas are expected to get a nearer-term boost from a separate tank project. The elevated water tank planned for Kampung Hijrah is targeted for completion in August 2027. It is intended to help areas facing interruptions while the main pipeline works are carried out. The public announcement does not yet give a village-by-village schedule, contractor or temporary-supply plan. The main Simunjan package will replace or upgrade 73.2km of ageing pipes at RM45.7 million. It is part of a wider Samarahan distribution upgrade covering 148.3km at RM84.37 million. Some work is expected to start at the end of 2026 or early 2027, with the wider programme due to be completed in phases by 2029. Residents should treat this as a project timeline, not a promise that current disruptions have ended. Keep following JBALB and local-authority notices, record the dates and locations of outages, and expect temporary access or supply changes once construction reaches an affected area. The next useful updates are the formal start notice, tank progress and the first list of pipe sections under construction. [image: 1787706573885-simunjan-water.jpg] Source: DayakDaily / TVS

古晋今天下午遭强风暴雨袭击，古晋国际机场抵达区一段屋顶受损，市内多个地点也出现树倒。 机场人员正在评估受损范围，RELA 人员则协助维持交通；现场受损区域已被围起。Tabuan Dayak 另有公寓屋顶板和结构件被吹落，砸到附近住宅，公开报道暂未指出有人受伤。 砂拉越消防与拯救局也通报古晋及三马拉汉省多个树倒事故。大马气象局下午3时55分的更新显示，砂拉越多地包括古晋预计持续有雷雨、暴雨和强风，相关预报持续至8月25日晚上7时。 目前尚未有公开消息确认机场全面航班受影响，也没有公布修复时间。今晚要搭飞机的居民，出发前先向航空公司确认航班；驾车经过倒树、松脱屋顶或围封路段时要绕行。天气预报显示强风暴雨时，不要在树下或受损建筑旁停留。 [image: 1787653734774-kia-roof.jpeg] 来源：The Borneo Post Online｜摄影：Roystein Emmor [image: 1787653734904-kuching-tree.jpeg] 来源：The Borneo Post Online｜摄影：Shahrul Tready

A powerful afternoon storm damaged part of the Kuching International Airport arrival-area roof and brought down trees in several parts of Kuching. Airport personnel were assessing the damaged section while RELA officers helped control traffic. The affected area was cordoned off in the scene report. Elsewhere, fallen trees damaged vehicles, and roofing sheets from an apartment block in Tabuan Dayak landed on nearby homes. No injuries were reported in that incident. Bomba Sarawak also reported multiple tree-fall incidents across the Kuching and Samarahan divisions. MetMalaysia’s 3.55pm update warned of thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds in much of Sarawak, including Kuching, until 7pm on Aug 25. There is still no public confirmation of a full flight disruption or a repair timeline for the airport area. Anyone travelling through KIA should check directly with the airline before leaving, while drivers should avoid fallen trees, loose roofing and cordoned-off roads. Do not shelter under trees or damaged structures while the weather warning remains active.

下午大雨后，古晋空气污染指数降至156，但砂拉越仍有5个地区处于不健康水平。 星期二下午5时的最新APIMS数据，以西连182最高；斯里阿曼172、古晋156、三马拉汉155，以及泗里街154也仍属不健康。上午10时，西连一度报194、古晋176，说明雨势暂时改善部分地区，烟霾情况却还没有完全解除。 API介于101至200属于不健康。古晋雨后数字下降，不代表全市空气已经恢复正常；不同监测站的读数可以相差很大，风向和降雨变化也会让指数再次上升。 居民如果要进行户外工作、运动，或跨区出行，最好先查看APIMS最新监测站数据，不要只凭住家附近的天空判断空气情况。指数仍超过100时，对烟霾较敏感的人应减少剧烈户外活动。 同一份更新也显示，马鲁帝进入气象局第1级炎热天气警戒，代表当地最高气温连续至少3天达到35至37摄氏度。接下来应留意这5个不健康监测站会否在后续雨势下跌破101，或在天气转干后再次上升。

Heavy rain brought Kuching’s API down to 156 by 5pm, but five Sarawak areas were still in the unhealthy range. The latest APIMS readings reported on Tuesday put Serian at 182, followed by Sri Aman at 172, Samarahan at 155, Kuching at 156 and Sarikei at 154. The 10am update had placed Serian at 194 and Kuching at 176, so the afternoon rain helped in parts of the state without ending the haze situation. An API reading from 101 to 200 is classified as unhealthy. That means a lower Kuching number after rain should not be read as a return to normal air: conditions can differ sharply between monitoring stations and can change again when wind or rain patterns shift. For residents planning outdoor work, exercise or travel across Sarawak, check the latest station reading on APIMS before heading out instead of relying on how the sky looks in one neighbourhood. People who are more sensitive to haze should reduce strenuous outdoor time while the readings remain above 100. The same update also placed Marudi under MetMalaysia’s Level 1 hot-weather alert, which covers maximum temperatures of 35–37°C for at least three consecutive days. The next useful checkpoint is whether the five unhealthy stations fall below 101 after further rain, or climb again if dry weather returns.

第一次来古晋吃海鲜，Topspot 的摊位和海鲜选择可能让人眼花；18 号档适合先用一条鱼、一份本地蔬菜和一道共享小菜搭出基本盘，再下锅前问清楚价格。 [image: 1787645167655-img0-resized.jpg] 来源：18 Topspot Seafood 店家资料图 [image: 1787645168600-img1-resized.jpg] 来源：18 Topspot Seafood 店家资料图 [image: 1787645169472-img2-resized.jpg] 来源：18 Topspot Seafood 菜品图 [image: 1787645169935-img3.jpg] 来源：18 Topspot Seafood 菜品图 第一次怎么点 先记住本地叫法：midin belacan（马来盏炒蕨菜），这是砂拉越常见的野菜配法，适合拿来平衡海鲜的浓酱。两个人可以先点烤魔鬼鱼或广东蒸 siakap（笛鲷），加一份 midin belacan，再在虾、苏东或海参汤中选一道较小份共享。三至四个人才考虑加蚝煎，因为它香脆但较油、也容易有饱足感。18 号档常见选择包括烤魔鬼鱼、蒸笛鲷、海参汤、midin 和虾类。 海鲜通常按种类和大小计价，螃蟹、大虾和较贵的鱼一定要在烹调前问估价。一餐预算可先按约 RM80 估算；实际账单会受海鲜大小、烹调方式和人数影响。 时间、停车与路线 Topspot 位于 Jalan Bukit Mata 的 Taman Kereta 顶楼六楼，靠近 UTC Sarawak。营业时间为每日 17:00–22:30 营业，并提醒 18:00 左右通常开始拥挤。我会建议第一次到访的人在 17:00–17:45 入场，吃完再步行去古晋河滨或 Sarawak Plaza。可以搭电梯上楼，不必爬完几层楼；停车可找 Taman Kereta 多层停车场，但车位和收费可能变化。 入座前先绕一圈看海鲜展示，决定 18 号档后再让店员协助点餐；同时确认烹调方式与价格。最实用的组合是“一鱼、一虾或苏东、一蔬菜、白饭”，比较容易控制预算，也能让第一次来古晋的人吃到海鲜与砂拉越本地风味的重点。 地点： Lot 18, Level 6, Topspot Food Court, Taman Kereta Building, Jalan Bukit Mata, Kuching City Centre, 93100 Kuching, Sarawak 打开 Google Maps

If your first Kuching seafood dinner feels like a menu maze, Stall 18 at Topspot is a sensible place to start: choose one fish, one local vegetable and one shared side, then ask about the price before anything goes on the wok. [image: 1787645167655-img0-resized.jpg] Source: 18 Topspot Seafood listing photo [image: 1787645168600-img1-resized.jpg] Source: 18 Topspot Seafood listing photo [image: 1787645169472-img2-resized.jpg] Source: 18 Topspot Seafood dish photo [image: 1787645169935-img3.jpg] Source: 18 Topspot Seafood dish photo What I would order The local name to know is midin belacan—a fern cooked with shrimp paste—which makes a useful Sarawak side alongside seafood. For two people, I would start with grilled stingray or Cantonese-style steamed siakap, add midin belacan, and share one smaller prawn, squid or soup dish. For three or four, add a shared oyster pancake only if everyone wants something crisp and rich. Stall 18 is known for grilled stingray, steamed siakap, sea cucumber soup and prawns among Stall 18's common directions. Seafood is selected by type and size, so ask for the estimated price before cooking—especially for crab, large prawns and premium fish. A reasonable planning figure is around RM80, but treat that only as a rough planning figure; the final bill changes with the catch, size, cooking style and group size. When to go and how to get there Topspot is on Level 6 of the Taman Kereta rooftop food court along Jalan Bukit Mata, close to UTC Sarawak. It opens daily from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM and recommends arriving earlier because tables are usually crowded by 6:00 PM. I would aim for 5:00–5:45 PM for an easier first visit, then walk towards the Kuching Waterfront or Sarawak Plaza afterward. Use the lift if you do not want to climb several flights of stairs; parking is in the multi-level Taman Kereta building, subject to availability. Walk around once before sitting down, compare the seafood displays, choose Stall 18, and confirm the cooking method and price. Keep the order balanced: one fish, one prawn or squid dish, one vegetable and rice. That gives first-time visitors a clearer taste of the place without letting sauces or premium seafood take over the whole bill.
