    If I had one quiet morning between Kuching’s old-town stops, I would use Taman Botani Sarawak as the reset button: a short drive to Kampung Istana, then a slower walk among trees, paths and a small lake. [image: 1786759713536-botani-google-1.jpg] Source: Google Maps user photo - Sarawak Botanical gardens [image: 1786759713629-botani-google-2.jpg] Source: Google Maps user photo - Taman Botani Sarawak [image: 1786759713710-botani-tripadvisor-1.jpg] Source: TripAdvisor - Sarawak Botanical Garden [image: 1786759713779-botani-tripadvisor-2.jpg] Source: TripAdvisor - Sarawak Botanical Garden [image: 1786759713855-botani-tripadvisor-3.jpg] Source: TripAdvisor - Sarawak Botanical Garden This garden earns its place by being a living collection rather than a landmark you finish in ten minutes. Bamboo, ferns, orchids and tall trees turn the visit into a small lesson in Sarawak’s plant life; the lake and branching paths make the place feel more like a green neighbourhood than a formal museum. Parts of the grounds have also been under improvement, so the story is still changing: one corner may feel cared for while another is plainly work in progress. I would allow 45–90 minutes, longer if travelling with children or stopping to look at plants. Morning is the safer choice for heat and walking comfort, with water, repellent and shoes that tolerate damp ground. There is no dependable ticket figure to plan around, and public listings have shown different closing times, so check the current listing or operator update before setting out. Rain can turn a simple loop muddy. This is a good soft landing for plant lovers, families and anyone who needs a quiet hour near the river side. It will disappoint visitors expecting a large, polished botanical attraction, café stop or a dramatic single viewpoint. I would pair it with the Astana or old-town river walk, not make it the only reason for a long cross-city detour. Which path would you take first—the lake or the taller trees?

    Ever walked into a house and had your brain say: wait, why is the sofa on the ceiling? Upside Down House Kuching is not a huge half-day attraction. It is the kind of quick city stop where you go in for 30 to 45 minutes, pass your phone to the staff, and come out with a gallery full of silly photos. [image: 1786673284764-udh1-resized.jpg] Source: Merdeka Palace [image: 1786673285137-udh0.jpg] Source: Sarawak Tourism Hornbill Trail Newsletter / Wong Tong Wei [image: 1786673285191-udh3.jpeg] Source: Ticket2U [image: 1786673285239-udh5.jpg] Source: Tripadvisor traveller photo Google / Wanderlog reviews sit around 4.6/5. A few visitors say the place is a bit hidden and not very big, but the staff service is the real win. People mentioned that the staff guide your poses, take photos with your own phone, and even help you get the angle right. Tripadvisor reviews say almost the same thing: "great fun", friendly staff, and good for photo moments. One visitor said they spent about 45 minutes inside, which feels about right. Don't expect a museum-length visit, expect a light and funny photo stop. The official Facebook page is also active, with its page showing 96% recommendation and opening hours from 9:30am to 6:00pm daily. Recent social posts keep pushing it as a family-and-friends place, which honestly is the right way to treat it. Local listings like Sarawak Tourism, Merdeka Palace and Ticket2U describe the setup as a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, children's room and home office, all flipped upside down. So yes, it is very much built for camera play. Practical info: Address: Ground Floor, No. 281-1-1, Lot 281, Section 48, KTLD, Block H, Taman Sri Sarawak, Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman / Jalan Borneo, 93100 Kuching. It is near Tune Hotel and the Waterfront side. Opening hours: usually 9:30am to 6:00pm daily. Check their Facebook page before going, especially public holidays. Tickets: older listings show local adult / child pricing around RM15 / RM10, while ticket promos may vary. Just treat the online price as a guide and confirm before you go. Quick tips: Go with at least one friend, because the poses are funnier when someone is laughing behind the camera. Ask the staff how to pose. That is where most people say the visit becomes worth it. It is indoors, so it works nicely when Kuching suddenly rains. Parking around the town area can be a bit annoying, so don't go at peak lunch time if you can avoid it. For locals, this is not the kind of place you visit every month. But if you have cousins visiting Kuching, or you need one silly stop before dinner at the Waterfront, this one can do the job. Been here before? Drop your funniest upside-down pose idea below.

    Satang is a day that begins before the island appears: drive to the boat departure point, accept the sea crossing, then let the protected coast decide whether the water is glassy, green or rough.

It is the visitor-facing part of Talang-Satang National Park, created around Sarawak’s marine life and especially the nesting grounds of green and hawksbill turtles. The four-island park has strict access boundaries: Satang is the island used for day trips, while the Talang islands are much more restricted because conservation comes first. That changes the rhythm—boat timing, designated recreation areas and guide instructions matter as much as the sand. I would reserve a full day, use a licensed boat or tour arrangement, and keep the return plan flexible. Turtle season is commonly associated with the drier months, but a sighting is never the product you can order; sea conditions can also make the water cloudy and snorkeling less impressive. Carry a dry bag, water, food, sun protection and motion-sickness medicine if needed. Check permits, weather, landing conditions and current fees before leaving, because this is a marine park rather than an always-open city attraction. Satang suits travellers who enjoy boats, quiet beaches and the conservation story behind a landscape. It may disappoint anyone expecting guaranteed turtles, perfect visibility, nightlife or a quick half-day photo run. I would choose it when the sea itself is part of the plan, not squeeze it between two fixed appointments. If a turtle appears, give it space—the best souvenir here is leaving the protected coast undisturbed.

    Sarawak recorded 112 open-burning cases from Aug 1 to 11, with reports rising sharply since Aug 8.

    RM400 million hospital breaks ground in Kuching — 300 beds, 1,000+ jobs on the way [image: 1786356478932-regency-hospital-compressed.jpg] HMI Medical kicked off construction of its Regency Specialist Hospital at the NorthBank township today (Aug 10). The first phase is worth more than RM400 million and the 300-bed facility is targeted to open by 2029. When fully operational, the hospital is expected to create over 1,000 jobs across medical, nursing, allied health, management and support roles. Premier Abang Johari said the project shows Sarawak's transformation is attracting partners ready to invest long-term — part of the state's push to become a regional centre for advanced healthcare and medical education. The hospital will come with a comprehensive cancer centre, smart wards and advanced operating theatres. HMI Medical is also putting RM50 million over five years into a healthcare workforce fund for scholarships and clinical training across its hospitals in Kuching, Johor and Melaka.

    809 Residents in Tupong Get B2 Motorcycle Licence for Just RM250 — Programme Saves Participants Hundreds of Ringgit Tupong assemblyman Dato Fazzrudin Abdul Rahman said the B2 Driving Licence Assistance Programme aims to make licences more affordable, with participants paying only RM250 instead of the usual RM500-RM700. [image: 1786336442134-tupong-resized.jpg] A total of 809 participants received their licences in a single ceremony at SUPP Sungai Tengah Hall. The oldest beneficiary was born in 1967 (59 years old), while the youngest was born in 2010 (16 years old). "This morning, all 809 participants here will receive their licences, obtained at a fee of only RM250. But elsewhere, it costs RM500, RM600 and even RM700," said Fazzrudin. He acknowledged that while participants paid a small amount, the actual cost of running the programme was much higher and required cooperation between his team, JPJ Sarawak, and Cangiran Driving Institute. Also present was JPJ Sarawak director Norizan Jili. Location: Tupong, Kuching Details: 809 residents received subsidised B2 motorcycle licences Source: Borneo Post What do you think?

    Haze conditions have returned to Bau, with air quality readings reaching unhealthy levels near the Sarawak-West Kalimantan border. [image: 1786324232107-haze-bau-1.jpg] Tasik Biru assemblyman Datuk Henry Harry Jinep urged residents to reduce outdoor activities, especially when the Air Pollution Index (API) climbs towards 150. He said this is an annual occurrence caused by cross-border burning from Indonesia. "Nothing much we can do because this is coming from the other side," he told reporters after a site visit to the Serikin ICQS project. Those with sensitive respiratory conditions are advised to take extra precautions.

    A stray dog found near Mile 9, Jalan Penrissen tested positive for rabies in early August, prompting Kuching South Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng to remind residents that the local risk had not ended. [image: 1786248347758-rabies.jpg] Image: The Borneo Post Wee spoke about the case during his Aug 8 Shall WEE Talk session. He said Kuching and nearby areas still faced rabies risk and called for cooperation with vaccination and control efforts. The next mass anti-rabies vaccination campaign was expected after the Kuching Food Festival ended on Aug 16, but the report did not provide a venue list or schedule. What to do after a bite or scratch Do not wait for symptoms or try to judge the animal by appearance. Wash the wound immediately with soap and running water for at least 15 minutes, apply an antiseptic if available, and seek medical assessment as soon as possible. Tell the clinic exactly where and when the contact happened. Do not catch, hit or transport a suspected animal yourself. Record its location and appearance from a safe distance and notify the relevant local authority or veterinary service. Pet owners should keep rabies vaccination current and avoid allowing dogs or cats to roam. This article records a case reported in early August. It does not mean every stray animal around Mile 9 is infected, and it should not replace current outbreak notices or medical advice. Reported area: Mile 9, Jalan Penrissen, Kuching Confirmed detail: One stray dog tested positive Sources: The Borneo Post · WHO rabies guidance · Department of Veterinary Services Sarawak

    Haze blankets Sarawak — Kuching, Bintulu, Serian all hit unhealthy API levels Several areas across Sarawak recorded unhealthy Air Pollutant Index (API) readings this morning, with Serian the worst at 170. According to the Department of Environment's monitoring stations, here are the readings as of 8am today: Serian — 170 Kota Samarahan — 157 Kuching — 155 Bintulu — 155 Samalaju — 152 An API reading of 101 to 200 is classified as unhealthy. The haze has gotten so thick in Bintulu that the tallest building, The Peak Condominium, was barely visible through the smog. Authorities advise the public, especially those with respiratory conditions, to limit outdoor activities and take necessary precautions.

    Smoke from Kalimantan wildfires has pushed air quality across western Sarawak into unhealthy territory. [image: 1786161783836-haze-api.jpg] As of 11am today (Aug 8), five stations in Sarawak recorded unhealthy API readings: Serian: 172 (highest) Kuching: 156 Samarahan: 155 Bintulu: 152 Sri Aman: 139 Other areas like Mukah (98), Sarikei (97), Sibu (93), and Miri (86) remain moderate — for now. Source of the haze The ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre detected 643 hotspots in Kalimantan and 22 in Sarawak alone, with thick smoke from West Kalimantan drifting northward into western Sarawak. What's being done The Department of Environment has activated both the National Open Burning Action Plan and National Haze Action Plan. Enforcement patrols have been stepped up. Under the Environmental Quality Act (Amendment) 2024, open burning offenders face fines of RM25,000 to RM1 million or up to five years' jail. School closures on standby Schools and childcare centres must close immediately if API readings exceed 200. Outdoor activities are already suspended when API passes 100. Nadma will activate disaster committees when readings exceed 150 for more than 24 hours. Affected areas: Kuching, Serian, Samarahan, Bintulu, Sri Aman Source: DayakDaily Stay safe, wear a mask if you're heading out. What do you think?

    Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh says KL can learn from Kuching Festival's 'food ecosystem' — from farm to marketing Yeoh visited the Kuching Festival grounds on Aug 7 together with DBKL Mayor Datuk Seri Fadlun Mak Ujud and his team, hosted by MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng. This was her second visit. She said her daughters first discovered the festival on TikTok during SUKMA and encouraged her to come. "I felt the concept was very unique and very vibrant. There is a lot of youth and young people's energy, and it was very clean," she said. After taking over the Federal Territories portfolio, Yeoh said she told DBKL its officers should visit Kuching to study how the festival was organised and how fresh ideas from young people were incorporated. "We are here to look into the entire ecosystem, not just this food festival, but also the ecosystem from farm to marketing. How you actually activate so many different industries based on one concept of just promoting food culture here." She cited MBKS' Natural Farmers Market as another initiative that could provide learning opportunities for KL. DBKL Mayor Fadlun described the visit as a good experience: "This is something new for us in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe we can learn from Kuching South to adopt this concept."

    Sarawak Water investigating suspected leak on major water pipeline along Jalan Matang — no water cuts planned yet The affected pipeline is the 1,100mm-diameter MSCL main that delivers treated water to Bukit Siol Reservoir, supplying consumers across Kuching, Petra Jaya and surrounding areas. Sarawak Water said its technical team is carrying out detailed investigations to determine the exact location and extent of the suspected leak before deciding on the next course of action. As part of the investigation, the utility needs to access an isolation valve located within the road median. It is working with JKR to facilitate the necessary excavation works. Traffic advisory: Safety barriers, warning signs and traffic control measures have been put in place around Jalan Matang Batu 6. Motorists are advised to exercise caution. If repair works require a temporary water supply interruption, Sarawak Water will issue an official notice in advance with details on affected areas, expected duration and mitigation measures.
