2027年财政预算案将在下月提呈，分析认为砂拉越仍可能是联邦基建拨款的重点，古晋城市交通系统（KUTS）也在观察名单内。 TA Securities的预算前瞻指出，联邦政府可能继续通过泛婆罗洲大道余下工程、乡区道路与桥梁、港口和机场升级、防洪、水处理及电力网络等项目，缩小东马的发展差距。 针对大古晋，报告特别提到KUTS或继续获得支持。随着项目逐步迈向商业运作，后续建设不只涉及自动驾驶列车，也包括接驳巴士、综合票务、转乘停车场、乘客资讯系统，以及连接住宅区、商业区和教育中心的配套。 这目前仍是分析预测，并非已经确定的拨款。财政部的预算前声明确实把区域发展、基建执行和提升经济韧性列为方向，但具体项目和金额，须等到10月9日在国会提呈预算案后才会明朗。 对古晋居民和企业而言，真正值得留意的是最终文件会否为KUTS及其他交通项目列出明确拨款和时间表，而不只是再次提出宏观发展承诺。

Sarawak is expected to remain a major focus for infrastructure spending when Budget 2027 is tabled next month, with the Kuching Urban Transportation System among the projects analysts are watching. A TA Securities preview says the federal government could continue funding projects that narrow the development gap, including Pan Borneo Highway phases, rural roads and bridges, port and airport upgrades, flood mitigation, water treatment and electricity networks in East Malaysia. For Greater Kuching, the report singles out KUTS as a project that could receive continued support as it moves towards commercial operations. The next phase is expected to involve not just the autonomous trains, but also feeder buses, integrated ticketing, park-and-ride facilities and passenger information systems. That is an analyst forecast, not a confirmed allocation. The Finance Ministry’s pre-budget statement identifies regional development, infrastructure delivery and stronger economic resilience as priorities, but the actual projects and amounts will only be known when the budget is presented in Parliament on Oct 9. For Kuching commuters and businesses, the useful marker is whether the final document attaches firm funding and delivery milestones to KUTS and other transport links, rather than simply repeating broad development commitments.

Three traffic points near Simpang Tiga and Jalan Tun Jugah are scheduled to close from 8am to 5pm each day through Sunday, Sept 6. The daytime closures cover the slip road from Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho to Jalan Tun Jugah, part of the Simpang Tiga roundabout beside the EPF building, and the Jalan Jelutong junction into Jalan Tun Jugah. These are temporary arrangements for utilities relocation, not a permanent change to the road layout. Motorists moving between the city centre, Simpang Tiga and Jalan Tun Jugah should expect diversions at the work zones, follow signs on site and allow extra time. For a same-day check if site conditions change, Sarawak Metro lists its KUTS hotline as 1300 88 5887.

Sarawak Metro now has approval to establish its own auxiliary police unit to protect KUTS operations, facilities and assets. The Royal Malaysia Police approved the application, allowing Sarawak Metro to build a dedicated security capability as the Kuching Urban Transportation System moves closer to operation. Coverage is expected to include depots, stations, future operational facilities and other assets along the KUTS alignment. The unit will not appear fully formed overnight. Sarawak Metro said recruitment, training, compliance and competency development will be carried out in phases with PDRM. This is important because the announcement confirms approval to set up the unit; it does not mean all officers are already deployed or that it sets a new ART passenger-service date. Why a separate unit matters KUTS will combine public stations, vehicles, control systems and restricted technical areas. A dedicated team can focus on access control, crowd safety, asset protection and incident response while working alongside the regular police. For the public, the useful milestones to watch next are recruitment and training, station security arrangements and the official operating timetable. Those details should come from Sarawak Metro rather than viral posts or construction-site speculation.

Kuching's ART project has moved into the next stage after the first two trains arrived for KUTS pilot preparations. [image: 1785632692948-art-first-trains.jpg] Photo: DayakDaily / Sarawak Information Department (Japen) The first two ART trains under the Kuching Urban Transportation System are now in Kuching, bringing the project closer to pilot operations. Sarawak Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin said the focus is now on system integration, infrastructure readiness and operational checks before the service is opened for pilot use. What is being prepared Lee said work is progressing on the ART alignment, stations, depots and support systems. The Phase 1 Hydrogen Production Plant at Rembus Depot is also moving ahead. Once ready, it is expected to produce up to one tonne of green hydrogen a day to support pilot and early ART operations. For Kuching road users, this is one of the clearest signs yet that KUTS is moving from construction into actual service preparation.

从 CityOne 红绿灯路口通往 Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho 的一段 Jalan Tun Jugah，预定从2026年7月29日至12月31日局部封路，以进行 KUTS 工程。 [image: 1785384236632-tun_jugah_cityone_20260730.jpg] 图片： Sarawak Metro，经 DayakDaily Sarawak Metro 表示，这项临时交通改道是配合古晋城市交通系统工程。通告说的是局部封路，并不是整条 Jalan Tun Jugah 完全关闭。 驾驶者应该怎样安排 工程推进时，交通路线可能调整，因此现场地图、路牌和人员指示应优先于旧的社交媒体截图。进入工程区前先减速，遵守临时车道箭头与限速，不要到最后一刻才突然换线。 CityOne、Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho 及附近商家仍可抵达，不过平日高峰、上下学时段和大型活动期间，行程时间可能较难预测。有重要预约的话，最好预留额外时间，出发前也可先看替代路线。 Sarawak Metro 表示，施工时间或交通安排若有变化会继续通知。民众可在星期一至五上午8时至下午5时（公共假期除外）拨打 KUTS 热线 1300-88-5887，或电邮 [email protected]、[email protected] 查询。 这篇文章适用于已公布的7月29日至12月31日工程期。过了日期后，应查看最新通告，不要直接假设改道仍然生效。 受影响方向： CityOne 路口往 Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho 状态： 局部封路 / 临时改道 资料来源： DayakDaily · Sarawak Metro

A section of Jalan Tun Jugah from the CityOne traffic-light junction towards Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho is scheduled for partial closure from July 29 to Dec 31, 2026 for KUTS construction. [image: 1785384236632-tun_jugah_cityone_20260730.jpg] Image: Sarawak Metro via DayakDaily Sarawak Metro said the temporary diversion is needed for work under the Kuching Urban Transportation System. The notice covers a partial closure, not a complete shutdown of Jalan Tun Jugah. What drivers should plan for Traffic arrangements can change as work moves, so the map and signs on site take priority over an old social-media screenshot. Drivers should reduce speed before the work zone, follow lane arrows and temporary limits, and avoid changing lanes at the last moment. CityOne, Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho and surrounding businesses remain reachable, but travel time may be less predictable during weekday peak hours, school traffic and major events. If an appointment matters, allow an extra buffer or check an alternative route before leaving. Sarawak Metro said it would announce changes to the schedule or traffic plan. Enquiries can be made through the KUTS hotline at 1300-88-5887, Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm excluding public holidays, or by email at [email protected] and [email protected]. This post is valid for the announced July 29–Dec 31 construction period. After that date, verify the latest notice instead of assuming the diversion remains in place.

敦朱加路 KUTS 工地会先做临时排水改善，回应附近居民担心水灾的问题。 [image: 1785146712862-kuts_tun_jugah_20260727.jpg] 古晋城市交通系统（KUTS）项目工程师和承包商已经同意，扩宽敦朱加路一带的排水口，作为临时措施。 哥打圣淘沙州议员叶耀星（Wilfred Yap Yau Sin）表示，问题是 Jalan Durian Burung 附近居民提出的。地点靠近联邦职员宿舍（Federal Staff Quarters）。居民担心，原本路边的开放式沟渠被承包商填埋后，改用的金属管太小，可能让本来就容易淹水的地区更容易发生闪电水灾。 叶耀星说，承包商同意先进一步扩宽排水出口。隧道钻掘机（TBM）预计8月初抵达；一旦 TBM 工程开始，敦朱加路地下穿越工程预计可在10月完成，到时才能接上更长期的排水方案。 地点： 古晋敦朱加路 详情： 居民要求在长期防洪工程落实前，先安装更大的临时涵洞和合适排水设施。叶耀星表示会继续监督改善工程，确保尽快落实。 图片来源： DayakDaily 新闻来源： DayakDaily 你觉得呢？

A temporary drainage fix is coming to the KUTS project site along Jalan Tun Jugah after nearby residents raised flash-flood concerns. [image: 1785146712862-kuts_tun_jugah_20260727.jpg] The Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project engineer and contractor have agreed to widen the drainage outlet along Jalan Tun Jugah as an interim measure. Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap said the issue came from residents around Jalan Durian Burung, near the Federal Staff Quarters. They were worried that an existing roadside open drain had been buried and replaced with metal pipes that were too small, possibly worsening flash floods in an area already known to flood. Yap said the contractor agreed to further widen the outlet while waiting for the Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), which is expected to arrive in early August. Once TBM works begin, the underground crossing below Jalan Tun Jugah is expected to be completed by October, allowing a more permanent drainage solution after that. Location: Jalan Tun Jugah, Kuching Details: Residents had asked for larger temporary culverts and proper drainage while waiting for the long-term flood mitigation works. Yap said he will continue monitoring the agreed improvements. Photo credit: DayakDaily Source: DayakDaily What do you think?
