Fairy Cave is the sort of place I would put on a Bau half-day, not squeeze between two city cafés. The approach is simple; the cave is not. A four-storey staircase lifts you into a Jurassic limestone chamber where daylight falls through openings onto moss, ribs of rock and damp formations.

The story begins before the photo: Fairy Cave, also called Gua Pari, belongs to the very old limestone landscape around Bau, a former gold-mining settlement. Its age explains why the cave feels less like a decorated attraction and more like a cut-open piece of geology. The name comes from the fairy-tale light and shapes, but the details worth noticing are real—stalactites, stalagmites, hanging roots and green growth where the cave meets the forest.

I would arrive early enough to leave room for both Fairy Cave and nearby Wind Cave. The main chamber is friendly to a curious first-time visitor, but the darker trails, wet surfaces and staircase are a different proposition. Bring shoes with grip and a torch; installed lighting does not make every shadowed section comfortable. Anyone expecting an easy, fully polished indoor walk may feel short-changed, while people who enjoy limestone, bats and a little uncertainty will probably want longer.

The practical trade-off is time. From central Kuching, allow roughly 45–60 minutes by car depending on traffic, then reserve about 60–90 minutes for the cave and entrance area. A car or pre-arranged ride is easier than relying on a return e-hailing car from Bau. Entry fees and the last admission time have changed in visitor accounts, so check the current operator notice before leaving; do not plan a late arrival around an old RM1 claim. Rain can make steps and trails slick, and a closure, maintenance job or guided-trail restriction can change the route.

If I were choosing between a quick viewpoint and a proper cave outing, I would choose the latter and pair it with Wind Cave or Bau town. Fairy Cave earns the detour because its history is written into the rock and the climb, not because the entrance fee is cheap. Families with steady walkers and international visitors who want a distinct Sarawak landscape should enjoy it; toddlers, mobility-limited travellers and anyone who dislikes darkness should choose a gentler stop.

Keep the visit unhurried, protect the formations, and leave the cave with enough daylight for the road back. That is when the “fairy” atmosphere works best—part natural theatre, part reminder that Bau’s landscape is much older than Kuching’s sightseeing circuit.

如果我帮第一次来古晋的旅客排 Bau 半日路线，Fairy Cave 会和 Wind Cave 放在一起，而不是塞进两个市区咖啡馆之间。入口看似简单，真正的体验却从爬上四层楼高的楼梯才开始：石灰岩洞里有苔藓、岩壁纹理和从洞顶落下的光。

来源：Malaysia-Traveller

仙洞也叫 Gua Pari，位于 Bau 一带、昔日淘金聚落附近的侏罗纪石灰岩地貌中。这个背景很重要，因为它不是布置好的“魔幻房间”，而是一块被打开的古老地层。仙洞之名来自童话般的光影和形状，但今天真正可见的是钟乳石、石笋、垂下的树根，以及洞口森林把绿色带进石灰岩的细节。

来源：Malaysia-Traveller

我会尽量早到，留时间同时走 Wind Cave。主洞适合第一次接触洞穴的旅客，较暗的路线、湿滑地面和长楼梯则需要另一种体力预期。穿有抓地力的鞋，带手电；现场灯光并不代表每个阴暗角落都好走。期待平整室内步道的人可能会失望，喜欢石灰岩、蝙蝠和一点探险感的人，反而会舍不得只停一下。

来源：CPH Travel

从古晋市中心出发，自驾约需45至60分钟，视交通而定；洞穴和入口一带预留60至90分钟比较从容。自驾或预先安排回程车辆，比到了 Bau 才临时叫车稳妥。票价和最后入场时间曾随时期改变，不能再把旧资料里的 RM1 当成现况；出发前先看运营方最新通知。下雨后阶梯和路线会更滑，维修、关闭或导览路线限制也可能改变当天安排。

来源：DayakDaily

如果只能在“快速看景”与“认真走一趟洞穴”之间选择，我会选后者，再接 Bau 小镇或 Wind Cave。仙洞值得绕路，不是因为便宜，而是因为它把地质年龄、淘金地区的背景和实际攀爬连在一起。步行稳定的家庭、想看砂拉越独特地貌的外国旅客会比较适合；幼童、行动不便者和怕黑的人，最好换一个轻松景点。

别赶着拍完就走，也别触碰洞穴构造；预留日光给回程，仙洞最有意思的光线才会留下来。

AirBorneo CEO Megat Ardian 正式向受影响乘客公开道歉，并宣布将引进全新 ATR 72-600 飞机来提升航班可靠性。

最近几天，AirBorneo 多个航班在砂拉越和沙巴延误或取消，不少乘客被滞留在机场。

为什么会这样？

你有中招吗？

AirBorneo CEO Megat Ardian has publicly apologised for the recent wave of flight delays and cancellations affecting passengers across Sarawak and Sabah, while announcing that new ATR 72-600 aircraft are on the way.

In a statement, Megat Ardian said the disruptions were caused by several aircraft being unavailable at the same time due to maintenance requirements and technical rectification works.

"I would like to sincerely apologise for the disruption, inconvenience and uncertainty this has caused," he said.

What Happened

Multiple AirBorneo flights were delayed or cancelled in recent days, leaving passengers stranded across Sarawak and Sabah. The airline confirmed the root cause was overlapping maintenance schedules that took more planes out of service than expected.

What is Being Done

• AirBorneo teams are working around the clock to restore normal operations
• Additional resources have been mobilised to speed up repairs
• New ATR 72-600 aircraft will be progressively introduced as part of the fleet renewal programme
• Affected passengers are being offered rebooking, refunds, meals, and accommodation

大马统计局最新数据出炉 — 古晋和美里的水泥价格年涨幅分别达7.4%和7.5%，双双拿下全国最贵！

根据大马统计局（DOSM）发布的2026年5月建筑与结构工程特别报告，全马水泥平均价格从2024年5月的每50kg RM23.04，涨至2026年5月的RM25.95。

但砂拉越两城最夸张：

• 美里 年涨幅 7.5% — 全马最高
• 古晋 紧随其后 7.4%
• 全国其他地区年涨幅仅介于 1.0% 至 7.5%

首席统计师 Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin 指出，水泥价格按月也在涨，5月份全国各区涨幅介于 0.2% 至 2.1%。

其他建材同样起价：

• 钢铁 全国月涨 0.1%-1.3%，诗巫和美里涨幅较高
• 沙石 部分地区月涨高达 9.7%，诗巫也涨了 3.7%
• 碎石 全国月涨 0.3%-4.7%

建筑成本指数（BCI）显示，砂拉越各建筑类别按月涨幅在 0.1% 至 1.1% 之间。

目前普通硅酸盐水泥每50kg 售价 RM25.95，钢筋每公吨 RM3,517.50。

对于正在装修的屋主和正在进行工程的承包商来说，这些数字意味着实实在在的成本压力。

你觉得呢？最近有在装修或在建屋子的朋友感觉到成本涨了吗？

Miri and Kuching now lead the nation in cement price increases, with annual hikes of 7.5% and 7.4% respectively — the highest in Malaysia, according to the latest DOSM data.

The Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) released its Special Release for Building and Structural Works for May 2026, showing average cement prices across Malaysia rose from RM23.04 per 50kg bag in May 2024 to RM25.95 in May 2026.

But Sarawaks two largest cities saw the biggest jumps.

Miri recorded the highest year-on-year increase at 7.5%, with Kuching close behind at 7.4%. Nationwide, the year-on-year range was just 1.0% to 7.5%.

Chief Statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin noted that cement prices also rose month-on-month across all regions, increasing between 0.2% and 2.1% in May alone.

Other construction materials are not spared either:

• Steel prices rose 0.1% to 1.3% month-on-month nationwide, with Sibu and Miri among the higher increases
• Sand prices increased up to 9.7% in some areas, with Sibu recording a 3.7% jump
• Aggregate prices climbed 0.3% to 4.7% nationwide

The Building Cost Index (BCI) confirmed the broader trend, with Sarawak recording month-on-month increases of 0.1% to 1.1% across all building categories.

At the national level, Ordinary Portland cement now averages RM25.95 per 50kg bag, while steel bars sit at RM3,517.50 per metric tonne.

For homeowners planning renovations and developers with ongoing projects, these numbers mean real cost pressure ahead.

What do you think?

For a first evening in Kuching, I would start where the city’s river story is still visible under your feet: the Kuching Waterfront. This is less a single attraction than a south-bank thread connecting old shopfronts, boats, food, civic buildings and the walk across to Darul Hana.

The riverfront was once Kuching’s working edge, where the nineteenth-century trading port met the Sarawak River. The modern promenade emerged from the 1993 redevelopment of that old edge, which is why the walk feels layered rather than designed as one giant photo set: five-foot ways and historic buildings sit beside lighting, fountains and newer public space.

I would begin near Main Bazaar or the Old Court House while there is still daylight. Across the water, The Astana, Fort Margherita and the State Legislative Assembly building turn the opposite bank into a history lesson; the river also explains why Kuching grew here in the first place. When the light softens, the same route becomes a local evening space for strolling, festivals, street performances and families—not just an international visitor’s viewpoint.

Source: Wikimedia Commons

The most useful choice is whether to keep walking or take the river. A penambang can save time and give you the water-level view, while Darul Hana Bridge lets you cross on foot and look back at the old city. Boat fares, cruise departures and return arrangements are operator-dependent, so ask before boarding; the promenade itself is free, but an evening plan should not assume every stall or boat runs late.

Source: Wikimedia Commons

Allow 60–90 minutes for a relaxed walk, or two to three hours if you add the bridge, food and a boat. Midday can be hard in the humidity, while late afternoon gives you old façades, river traffic and sunset before the lights come on. Parking around the old town tightens during events, so walking from a central hotel or using e-hailing is usually easier; carry rain protection because river weather changes quickly.

The Waterfront is worth prioritising for a first-time international visitor because it gives context to several other stops at once. Anyone expecting a quiet, empty boardwalk may be disappointed at festival time, but a traveller willing to follow the river’s working history into the evening will find the route keeps changing as the light does.

第一次来古晋，我会把傍晚留给河滨公园：不是为了完成一个“必打卡”地点，而是从砂拉越河出发，把老店屋、渡船、食物和两岸地标慢慢串起来。

这里以前是古晋面向河流的工作边缘，十九世纪的贸易港就在这条水岸活动。后来旧河岸经过重新发展，现代步道在1993年形成，才有了今天一边保留老街尺度、一边加入灯光、喷泉和公共空间的样子。走路时看到的不是单一景点，而是城市怎样从河边长出来。

来源： Wikimedia Commons

我会从 Main Bazaar 或 Old Court House 一带开始，趁天还亮先看老建筑和河上交通。对岸的 Astana、Fort Margherita 和砂拉越州立法议会大厦，把这段河景变成一条可以读的历史线；河流本身也解释了古晋为什么在这里发展。入夜后，河滨公园又回到本地人的散步、节庆、街头表演和家庭活动，不只是游客的拍照背景。

来源： Wikimedia Commons

接下来要不要继续走，取决于你想看哪一种河景。搭 penambang 可以从水面看两岸，走 Darul Hana Bridge 则能过河再回头看老城。渡船票价、班次和回程安排由营运者决定，上船前先问清楚；公共步道本身免费，但不能假定每个摊位或船班都会营业到很晚。

来源： Wikimedia Commons

单纯散步预留60至90分钟，加上过桥、吃东西和乘船就排两至三小时。中午湿热，傍晚比较舒服，既看得到老店屋和河上交通，也能等到日落和灯光。活动期间老城区停车位会紧张，住在市中心就走路或叫车；河边天气转得快，雨具不要省。

对第一次来古晋的外国旅客来说，河滨公园值得优先安排，因为它能替许多老城景点补上背景。若你只想找一条安静、完全没有活动人潮的空步道，节庆时可能会失望；愿意沿着河流看城市如何改变的人，才会发现这趟散步越走越有内容。

诗巫一名66岁退役老兵 Umar Sidee，在两层木屋大火时冲进火场，救出8名孙儿和儿子，全家19人奇迹逃生。

火灾发生在6月7日（周日）上午11时左右，地点是诗巫 Jalan Oya Lama 的 Kampung Jeriah Abang Ramli。Umar 和妻子当时在距离屋子约6米的果园，突然听到爆炸声。

"我老婆突然喊屋子着火了，我听到几声爆炸，看到火从屋后烧起来，我就冲进去把孙儿全部抱出来，再跑上楼叫醒儿子。"

Umar 说，他的孙儿当时全在楼下看电视，年龄从4岁到14岁，儿子则在楼上睡觉。

他退役前是军人，1995年退伍后一家人住在这间他亲手建的屋子里。

邻居们帮忙提水救火，但火势蔓延太快。消拯局（Bomba）到场后下令所有人撤离，大家只能眼睁睁看着房子被大火吞噬。

三个家庭共19人全部安全，但这位阿公花了近40年建的木屋已被烧成灰烬。

Former soldier Umar Sidee, 66, dashed into a blazing two-storey house in Sibu to rescue eight grandchildren and his son — a split-second decision that saved nine lives.

The fire tore through Kampung Jeriah Abang Ramli along Jalan Oya Lama around 11am on Sunday (June 7). Umar and his wife were at a nearby orchard when they heard explosions from the house.

"My wife suddenly shouted that our house was on fire. I heard several explosions," Umar told Bernama.

He ran inside, grabbed all his grandchildren aged 4 to 14 who were watching TV on the ground floor, then rushed upstairs to wake his son.

"I was in the armed forces before. I couldn't just watch my family die," he said.

Villagers tried to help put out the fire with buckets, but the flames spread too fast. Bomba firefighters arrived and ordered everyone back as conditions became dangerous.

The family of 19 from three households survived. But the house — built by Umar over nearly 40 years after he retired from military service in 1995 — was completely destroyed.

When a museum day has to carry the weight of a whole region, I would start at Borneo Cultures Museum beside Padang Merdeka. It is not merely the biggest-looking building in town: its five floors move from rivers and childhood to ecology, changing time and the objects people desire.

Source: Wikimedia / Wikipedia

The building opened in March 2022 as Sarawak’s flagship cultural institution, taking over the central-city museum role while the historic State Museum undergoes its own long transition. That change is visible in the galleries: “Love Our Rivers” gives children an entry point, “In Harmony with Nature” links daily life to the environment, “Time Changes” makes history a process rather than a date list, and “Objects of Desire” lets material culture do the talking.

Source: Prestige Singapore

The independent visitor response is strongest when the displays are treated as a route, not a photo backdrop. Interactive media and more than a thousand objects help first-time visitors, but the scale can also tire anyone who tries to read every label. I would allow two hours, more for a serious visit, and start upstairs or follow the gallery sequence before the building fills. Travellers wanting a small quiet museum may find it too large; families, rainy-day planners and visitors with only one cultural afternoon get much more from it.

Source: KuchingBorneo

From the Waterfront or Main Bazaar, walk across the old-city streets to Padang Merdeka; parking and e-hailing are easier than treating this as a drive-by stop. Current published hours are 9:00–4:45 on weekdays and 9:30–4:30 on weekends and public holidays, with last admission at 4:00, but holidays, exhibitions and ticket rules can move. Check the museum’s current notice before committing to the final hour. The auditorium and event spaces also mean a public programme can change the feel of a visit without making the museum closed.

Source: The Island Drum

I would pair it with the State Museum grounds, Old Court House or a slow walk across Padang Merdeka, then stop before cultural fatigue sets in. The museum is worth prioritising for international visitors who want context quickly, but its real strength is the connection between landscape, community and objects—not the claim that it is simply “the largest.”

Give the galleries enough time to change your route through Sarawak, and the five-storey building becomes a useful beginning rather than a checklist ending.

时间有限时，我会把婆罗洲文化博物馆排在古晋文化路线前面：它就在 Padang Merdeka 旁边，五层展厅可以把河流、生态、历史和各族群的日常放进同一个下午。

这座馆于2022年3月开放，成为砂拉越的旗舰文化机构，也接过市中心博物馆的主要角色；旧砂拉越博物馆则进入另一段转型。展厅不是把文物逐件堆起来：“爱护我们的河流”让孩子从水域进入故事，“与自然和谐共处”把文化放回环境里，“时代变迁”说明历史会移动，“欲望之物”则让生活用品说出身份和选择。

来源： Prestige Singapore

逛这里最适合按路线看，而不是每一面墙都当成拍照背景。互动展示和上千件物件照顾第一次来的旅客，但五层楼也会让只想快速打卡的人疲惫。我会预留至少两小时，认真读展签就再加时间；家庭、雨天行程和只有半天认识砂拉越的外国旅客会最有收获。只喜欢小而安静展馆的人，可能觉得规模太大。

来源： KuchingBorneo

从河滨公园或 Main Bazaar 步行过来，可以顺着老城街区接到 Padang Merdeka；若自驾，先考虑停车，不要把它当成路边下车拍照点。目前公开开放时间为星期一至五9:00至4:45，周末及公共假期9:30至4:30，最后入场4:00；假期、特别展览和票务规定可能调整，出发前要看博物馆最新通知。馆内还有礼堂和活动空间，遇到公开活动时，参观动线和气氛也可能不同。

来源： The Island Drum

我会把它和旧砂拉越博物馆园地、Old Court House 或 Padang Merdeka 慢走排在一起，但不会贪心塞满所有展层。对外国旅客来说，它很适合作为快速建立砂拉越背景的第一站；真正值得的不是“全马最大”这句标签，而是看见河流、社区和物件如何互相连起来。

Sarawak is spending RM4.53 billion on 76 school construction and upgrade projects across the state — with 25 currently under construction and 27 already completed.

Works Minister Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi announced the update after handing over new classroom blocks at SMK Dalat and SMK Semop today.

Of the 76 projects:

• 25 are actively under construction
• 24 are in planning and preparatory stages
• 27 have been fully completed

Seven more school projects worth RM223.64 million are expected to be completed between June and December this year.

For SMK Dalat, the RM27.2 million 18-classroom block was completed in December 2025, while SMK Semop's RM10.56 million 12-classroom block finished in January this year.

Nanta also mentioned that preliminary work for the SMK Bukit Goram project in Kapit has started, with a Letter of Acceptance expected before the end of 2026.

JKR 已鉴定为危楼，但 SMK Dalat 的女生宿舍仍在使用中 — 砂福利部长 法蒂玛阿都拉（Fatimah Abdullah） 紧急喊停。

达叻：SMK Dalat 的女生宿舍已被公共工程局（JKR）鉴定为不安全建筑，但由于没有其他住宿安排，女学生仍然住在里面。

砂妇女、儿童及社区福祉部长兼达叻区州议员 Dato Sri 法蒂玛阿都拉 周一巡视该校时，直言对学生的安全感到担忧。

"最重要的是安全。我们关心的是学生的安全，"她说。

这所已有近48年历史的学校，多栋建筑为木结构，长期受白蚁侵蚀导致结构弱化。女生宿舍就在旧校舍旁边，尽管 JKR 已鉴定为不安全，却仍然在使用。

法蒂玛阿都拉 指出，虽然宿舍被学生打理得干净整齐，但窗户框等明显被白蚁蛀蚀的痕迹说明必须立即采取行动。

据了解，宿舍并未被列入该校的翻新工程范围。

Termite-damaged and declared unsafe by JKR — yet SMK Dalat's girls' hostel continues to house students, prompting an urgent call from Minister Fatimah Abdullah.

DALAT: The girls' hostel at SMK Dalat has been declared unsafe by the Public Works Department (JKR), but students are still living there due to a lack of alternative accommodation.

Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Minister Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah, who is also Dalat assemblywoman, raised the issue during a visit to the school on Monday.

"The first thing is safety. What we are concerned about is the safety of our students," she said.

The nearly 48-year-old school comprises several ageing wooden structures, with termite infestation weakening parts of the buildings. The girls' hostel — located next to one of the old school blocks — remains occupied despite JKR's safety assessment.

Fatimah noted that while the hostel is clean and well maintained by its occupants, visible signs of deterioration, including termite-damaged window frames, underscore the need for immediate action.

The hostel was reportedly not included in the approved scope of renovation works for the school.
