Sarawak recorded 112 open-burning cases from Aug 1 to 11, with reports rising sharply since Aug 8. JBPM Sarawak director Jamri Masran said 28 cases were logged on Aug 11, after 16 on Aug 8, 25 on Aug 9 and 21 on Aug 10. The cases covered 75 bush fires, 20 rubbish fires, eight forest fires, four farm or plantation fires and five others, affecting a combined 111.64 hectares. Kuching Division recorded the most cases at 27, followed by Samarahan with 16. Two larger forest fires in Sri Aman and Daro involved about 80 and 10 hectares respectively. JBPM Sarawak urged residents to pause open burning, rubbish burning and land-clearing fires while the weather stays hot and dry. Report fires early before they spread and worsen the haze.

8月13日，ART 工程在敦朱加路一带误损一条850毫米主要水管，约2万名用户的水供受到影响。 有关水管在打桩前已经迁到新路线，但承包商据报没有分清旧路线和仍在使用的新路线。砂公用事业与通讯部长拿督斯里朱莱希表示，顾问、工程师和承包商已被要求加强现场监督；如果疏忽持续影响民众，不排除下令停工。 [image: 1786583362057-art-pipe.jpg] 图片： TVS 居民现在看这篇报道要注意 这篇文章记录的是8月13日事故，并不是即时断水通知。之后才看到文章的人，应先查看 Sarawak Water 最新公告，不要直接假设自己的地区仍然断水。 事发当时，有关单位已被要求准备足够水槽车支援受影响社区。以后遇到类似情况，投报时最好写清楚地址、水供何时停止，以及邻近街道是否也受影响，比较容易判断是局部水管问题还是更大范围故障。 这次更大的责任问题，是地下设施资料有没有同步。水管搬了，如果图纸、现场标记和承包商简报没有一起更新，风险还是存在。所谓加强监督，最后应看同类误击有没有真正减少，而不只是这一次修得多快。 事故地点： 古晋敦朱加路 报道影响： 约2万名用户 资料来源： TVS 报道 · Sarawak Water 官网

An ART construction error damaged an 850mm water main along Jalan Tun Jugah on Aug 13, affecting supply to about 20,000 users. The pipe had been moved to a new alignment before piling began, but the contractor reportedly failed to distinguish the old route from the live one. Sarawak Utilities and Telecommunications Minister Dato Sri Julaihi Narawi said consultants, engineers and contractors had been told to tighten site supervision, with work stoppage possible if negligence continued to disrupt the public. [image: 1786583362057-art-pipe.jpg] Photo: TVS What residents should take from this This article records the Aug 13 incident; it is not a live outage notice. People finding the page later should check Sarawak Water's current advisories before assuming their area is still affected. At the time, agencies were instructed to prepare enough water tankers for affected communities. For any future construction-related disruption, residents should note the exact address, the time supply stopped and whether neighbouring streets are affected when filing a report. That makes it easier to distinguish a local pipe issue from a wider supply problem. The bigger accountability issue is underground-utility mapping. Moving a pipe is not enough if drawings, site markings and contractor briefings are not updated together. The promised tighter supervision should therefore be judged by whether repeat strikes stop, not only by how quickly one break is repaired.

古晋周末想找地方吹海风又不想驾到 Sematan 那么远？Pasir Pandak 沙滩可能是你的答案。 [image: 1786414189704-pp-1.jpg] 来源：Pasir Pandak 沙滩景色 老实说，我之前一直听人讲这个地方但没真正去过。上周末终于驾过去了，从古晋市区大约 45 分钟车程，过了 Lundu 镇不远就到了。 [image: 1786414189801-pp-2.jpg] 来源：Reddit r/malaysia 网友怎么说？ Reddit 上有人分享照片说这里「比之前干净了」。不过有留言提醒说附近有鳄鱼出没，不建议下水游泳。所以乖乖在沙滩上吹风看海就好，别冒险下水。 [image: 1786414189877-pp-3.jpg] 来源：Google Maps 这里的感觉： Pasir Pandak 和旁边的 Pasir Panjang 其实是两个 kampung 沙滩，被小山丘、椰林和榴莲园包围着。沙很细，海水温温的，日落超美。那里还有一间叫 SB Sunset 的民宿，想住一晚的话大概 RM100+ 起。 Nasi Lemak 海滩体验： [image: 1786414189919-pp-4.jpg] 来源：SB Sunset / Booking.com 这里有个隐藏美食 — Nasi Lemak Beach 摊。有 Insta 网友说得好："nasi lemak 可能不是最好吃的，但海风和景色无敌了。" 在 Google Maps 搜 'nasi lemak beach' 就找到。RM5 一包椰浆饭配海景，还要怎样？ 不太好的地方： 老实讲，这里垃圾问题有点严重。有 review 提到沙滩上有塑料垃圾，甚至还有学术论文研究这里的微塑料污染。所以如果你去的话，记得带个袋子把自己的垃圾带回来。大家一起保持干净。 [image: 1786414189976-pp-5.jpg] 来源：SB Sunset / Booking.com 实用贴士： 古晋市区约 25km，45 分钟车程 建议下午去，看日落最赞 不建议游泳（有鳄鱼出没） 记得试海滩边的 nasi lemak ️ 自己垃圾自己带走 过夜可选 SB Sunset 民宿 Google Maps 搜 'Pasir Pandak Kuching' 总结： Pasir Pandak 不是那种高级度假村沙滩，它就是一个很 raw 很真实的 kampung 沙滩。来看日落、吹海风、放空自己就好。不要期待 tourist-grade 的东西，你反而会 enjoy 的。 你去过 Pasir Pandak 吗？留言分享你的体验

If you're looking for a quick beach escape from Kuching without driving all the way to Sematan, Pasir Pandak Beach might just be what you need. [image: 1786414189704-pp-1.jpg] Source: Pasir Pandak Beach view I've been hearing about this spot for a while, so last weekend I finally made the drive out. About 45 minutes from Kuching city center, past Lundu town, you'll find this stretch of sandy coastline that feels a world away from the city. [image: 1786414189801-pp-2.jpg] Source: Reddit r/malaysia What locals say: Over on the r/malaysia subreddit, one user shared a photo calling it a "beautiful day at Pasir Pandak Beach" and mentioned it looks cleaner than before. However, a few comments pointed out a very real concern — crocodiles have been spotted in the surrounding areas, so swimming is not recommended. Just stick to the shore, enjoy the breeze, and you're golden. [image: 1786414189877-pp-3.jpg] Source: Google Maps The vibe: Pasir Pandak and its neighbouring beach Pasir Panjang sit in a kampung area surrounded by small rolling hills, coconut groves, and durian orchards. The sand is soft, the water is warm, and the sunset views are genuinely stunning. There's a small accommodation called SB Sunset if you want to stay overnight — rooms from about RM100+ depending on season. The Nasi Lemak Beach experience: [image: 1786414189919-pp-4.jpg] Source: SB Sunset / Booking.com One of the hidden gems here is the Nasi Lemak Beach stall. One Instagrammer put it perfectly: "The nasi lemak may not be the best but the view and sea breeze were amazing." Just search Google Maps for 'nasi lemak beach' and you'll find it. RM5 for a packet of nasi lemak with an ocean view? Hard to complain. The not-so-great: Let's be real — there's a litter problem. Some reviews mention plastic waste scattered around, and there's even a research paper on microplastics at this beach. So if you go, bring a bag and take your trash back with you. Let's keep it clean for everyone. [image: 1786414189976-pp-5.jpg] Source: SB Sunset / Booking.com Tips for your visit: Located about 25km from Kuching, ~45 min drive via Lundu road Best time: late afternoon for sunset Swimming not recommended (crocodile sightings) Grab nasi lemak at the beach stall ️ Bring your trash back SB Sunset available for overnight stays Just search 'Pasir Pandak Kuching' on Google Maps Final thoughts: Pasir Pandak isn't a pristine resort beach — it's a raw, local kampung beach with character. Go for the sunset, the coconut trees, the quiet vibes. Just don't expect a tourist-grade beach and you'll have a great time. Have you been to Pasir Pandak? Drop your experience below
