Kanowit recorded Sarawak’s highest air-pollutant reading at 4pm on Sept 26: an API of 201, down from 213 at 10am but still in the “Very Unhealthy” band. It was the state’s only station in that category. Serian was at 137, classed as “Unhealthy”, while most other stations were moderate; Kuching stood at 91 and Samarahan at 84. The morning snapshot had Kanowit at 215 and Serian at 152, so both readings had eased by afternoon. The figures are tied to a specific time and can shift during the day. Residents, especially in Kanowit and Serian, should check the latest NREB API reading before planning prolonged outdoor activity.

Kanowit环岛周一凌晨发生旅游巴士单车事故，车上43人中有23人受伤。 事故于凌晨2时25分左右发生在泛婆大道Kanowit环岛。Sibu Jaya消拯局派出6名消拯员到场，发现巴士翻覆。无人受困；一名仍在车内的女性由消拯员协助离开，其余42人已在消拯员抵达前由公众协助下车。 伤者包括19名女性和4名男性，先在现场接受医护人员处理，之后分别送往诗巫医院和Kanowit医院。警方、卫生部及民防部队也参与行动，行动于凌晨4时50分结束，消拯员确认现场安全后撤离。 报道没有交代事故原因，也没有说明环岛之后是否需要交通管制。驾车经过相关路段时，跟随现场指示，并在事故地点附近减速。

Twenty-three people were injured after a tour bus carrying 43 people crashed at the Kanowit Roundabout along the Pan Borneo Highway early Monday. The single-vehicle crash was reported at 2.25am. Six firefighters from Sibu Jaya Fire Station were sent to the scene. No one was trapped, but one woman was still inside the bus and was helped out by firefighters; the other 42 people had already been assisted out by members of the public. The injured — 19 women and four men — received initial treatment before being taken to Sibu Hospital and Kanowit Hospital. Police, Health Ministry personnel and the Civil Defence Force also took part in the response, which ended at 4.50am after firefighters ensured the scene was safe. The latest reports did not state what caused the crash or whether traffic arrangements at the roundabout changed afterward. Drivers using the Pan Borneo Highway through the area should follow any police directions and slow down near the scene.

砂拉越Kanowit的Menalun—Sungai Poi道路计划进入第三期，但全线目标要到2030年才完成。 这项总值1亿7000万令吉的工程分四期进行，首两期已经完成，第三期在8月29日举行动工仪式。第三期将建设一条全长3.6公里、经过丘陵地形的道路，拨款4611万令吉，合约价值3996万令吉；这一路段不涉及桥梁，也不会延伸至学校。 第四期目前仍在设计阶段，获拨款5840万令吉，计划建设2.6公里道路和两座桥梁，连接Sekolah Kebangsaan Ulu Poi，以及Rumah Panjang Gani和Rumah Panjang Tarang两座长屋。 工程完成后可改善偏远社区和基本服务的交通联系，不过2030年是全线完工目标，仍取决于剩余阶段的落实。现阶段不能把这条道路视为已经全线开放，接下来应留意第三期进度，以及第四期何时确定施工安排。

The RM170 million Menalun–Sungai Poi road project in Kanowit is moving into Phase 3, but the full route is still targeted for completion only in 2030. Phases 1 and 2 have been completed. The latest phase began with a groundbreaking on Aug 29 and involves a 3.6-kilometre road through hilly terrain. It carries an allocation of RM46.11 million and a contract value of RM39.96 million, and does not include bridges or extend as far as the school. Phase 4 remains at the design stage. The RM58.4 million allocation covers another 2.6 kilometres and two bridges, with the planned route connecting Sekolah Kebangsaan Ulu Poi and the longhouses Rumah Panjang Gani and Rumah Panjang Tarang. The project is meant to improve access for remote communities and essential services, but the 2030 date is a completion target that depends on the remaining phases being delivered. The road should not be treated as a fully open connection yet; the next milestones are Phase 3 progress and a firm construction plan for Phase 4.
