Tbh when I first went to Sarawak Cultural Village, I thought it'd be one of those "for tourists only" places...

Turns out it's way bigger than I expected — 17 acres of actual living museum, not just display. Every traditional house has real people inside doing crafts, cooking traditional food, telling their stories. Spent the whole afternoon there and still didn't cover everything.

Here's what I think are the best bits

The Orang Ulu longhouse is the most photogenic spot. High ceilings covered in beadwork and murals, super vibrant colours. Someone was playing traditional instruments when I walked in — the atmosphere was genuinely something else.

The bamboo walkway outside the Iban longhouse is another great photo spot. That bamboo bridge? Almost every shot looks like it could be a cover photo.

The handicrafts around the village are really well made — bamboo lampshades, beadwork, wood carvings. Good quality souvenir material.

The stone carvings outside the Bidayuh longhouse caught my eye too. Spent a good 10 minutes just looking at the patterns.

Don't miss the cultural performances — twice daily at 11:30am and 4pm. Traditional dance, music, and costumes. The energy live is something you can't capture on a phone.

几年前第一次去 Sarawak Cultural Village 的时候，老实说我以为就是那种「给游客看的文化村」...

结果走了半天，发现整片园区比想象中大太多，17 英亩的面积，我一整个下午都走不完。而且不是那种假假的展示，里面每一间传统屋子都是真的有人在里面做手工艺、煮传统食物、讲自己的故事。

来说说我觉得最值得看的几个点

第一个是 Orang Ulu 长屋，也是最出片的一间。进去就看到高高的天花板挂满 beadwork 和壁画，颜色超丰富。还有人在现场吹传统乐器，那个氛围是真的有 feel。

Iban 长屋外面的竹制步道也很有意思，走在上面能拍到很多好看的角度。那个竹桥拍出来的照片几乎每张都可以当封面。

园区里的手工艺品也很有特色，各种竹编灯罩、珠串、木雕。做工很细致，也很适合买来做手信。

Bidayuh 长屋外面的石头雕刻也很有特色，我在那边站了十几分钟看那些纹路。

必看的是每天两场的文化表演（11:30am 和 4pm），传统舞蹈 + 音乐 + 服装，现场看效果是手机拍不出来的震撼。

"工作人员很友善，每间屋子都会介绍他们的传统文化。最惊喜的是竹桥那边的风景，真的很美。" — Wei Ling C. (Google Maps)

"带外国朋友来超有面子的一条线，半天就能大概了解砂拉越主要的民族。唯一要注意的是记得带水，园区里走路挺多的。" — Kenji T. (TripAdvisor)

老实讲，RM95 对本地人来说不算便宜，但如果你有外地朋友来古晋，这里是那种「一生人一定要去一次」的地方。我自己去了三次，每一次都看到不一样的东西。

Kota Sentosa 家庭遭大耳窿恐吓纵火！儿子借RM7,000变RM30,000，家人被逼走投无路

古晋 Kota Sentosa 一户家庭因儿子向大耳窿借贷RM7,000，如今竟被追讨RM30,000。大耳窿不仅上门恐吓，还放火烧屋和车子。

儿子已逃命躲藏，留下年迈父母独自面对这一切。

Kota Sentosa 州议员 Wilfred Yap 今天陪同这对夫妇前往古晋警区总部，向警区主任 Alexson Naga Chabu 求助。家属已针对此事向警方报案5次。

Yap 指出，大耳窿目前已将债务追讨至RM30,000，几乎是原本欠款的4倍。

Kota Sentosa family terrorised by loan sharks after son's RM7,000 debt balloons to RM30,000 — arson, threats, and a family living in fear.

A Kota Sentosa family has filed five police reports after illegal moneylenders allegedly threatened them and set fire to their house and vehicle over a RM7,000 loan taken out by their son.

The son has gone into hiding, leaving his elderly parents to face the consequences alone.

Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap accompanied the couple to meet Kuching District Police Chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu today after the family began receiving threats and experienced arson attacks.

According to Yap, the lenders are now demanding around RM30,000 in settlement — nearly four times the original amount.

马来西亚护照即将从5年有效期升级至10年，申请费用RM350，预计今年内实施。

根据6月3日宪报颁布的《2026年护照与签证费用（修订）指令》，大马护照有效期正式延长至10年。移民局总监拿督 Zakaria Shaaban 证实，原有的5年护照选项依然保留，民众可自由选择。

10年护照费用：

类别	10年护照费用
普通民众（13-59岁）	RM350
60岁以上乐龄	RM175
OKU残疾人士（18岁以上）	免费
移民局职员	免费

护照遗失/损坏替换费：

• 第一次替换：RM550
• 第二次：RM850
• 第三次或以上：RM1,350
• 60岁以上：RM375（第一次）、RM675（第二次）、RM1,175（第三次起）

目前5年护照普通申请为RM200（乐龄RM100）。10年版本虽然贵了RM150，但好处是不用每五年跑移民局排长龙。

你觉得10年护照值得换吗？

Malaysians will soon be able to apply for a passport that lasts 10 years instead of the current 5 — and it will cost RM350.

The new 10-year Malaysian passport was officially gazetted on June 3 under the Fees (Passports and Visas) (Amendment) Order 2026. Immigration director-general Datuk Zakaria Shaaban confirmed the change is coming this year, adding that the current 5-year option will remain available.

Fees at a glance:

Category	10-Year Passport Fee
General (13-59)	RM350
Senior (60+)	RM175
OKU (disabled, 18+)	Free
Immigration staff	Free

Lost or damaged passport replacement fees:

• First replacement: RM550
• Second: RM850
• Third or more: RM1,350
• Seniors 60+: RM375 (first), RM675 (second), RM1,175 (subsequent)

For comparison, the current 5-year passport costs RM200 (RM100 for seniors). The 10-year option costs RM150 more but saves you the hassle of renewing every five years.

Good news for Sarawakians — no more trips to Immigration every half-decade. One application, set for a decade.

原来 Sarawak 所有种族都住在一个「村庄」里？

很多人来古晋只知道去 Nature 景点，但如果你真的想搞懂 Sarawak 的文化，Sarawak Cultural Village 是你一定要来一次的地方。

这里被称为 "Sarawak in a day"——一天之内就能穿越到 Bidayuh、Iban、Orang Ulu、Penan、Melanau、Malay、Chinese 的传统房子，现场还有文化舞蹈表演，真的比博物馆好逛十倍。

环境也是真的很舒服。整个 village 就建在 Santubong 山脚下，靠近 Damai 海滩，空气好到不行。走进来那种热带雨林 + 传统长屋的氛围感，直接拉满。

最值得看的是什么？

文化舞蹈表演（一天两场：11:30am & 4:00pm）
可以看到吹箭表演（sumpit），真的会射！
Iban 长屋 — 超大有气势

马来西亚最长跨河大桥——峇当鲁巴第一大桥才通车不到三周，已经被乱丢垃圾的问题困扰，网民直呼：丢脸到汶莱！

这座耗资8.487亿令吉、全长4.844公里的桥梁，5月21日才正式通车，原本是砂拉越人的骄傲。但最近有网民拍到大桥上到处是垃圾，照片迅速在社交平台疯传。

网友 Ef Suhaimi 在贴文中对比邻国汶莱的海上大桥，指出汶莱的桥梁超过20公里长，车流量更大但依然干干净净；反观砂拉越这座桥才4公里多，就已经脏成这样。

"I feel embarrassed when looking at Brunei." 他感叹道。

来源：Ef Suhaimi / DayakDaily

砂拉越公共工程局（JKR）随即发声明，呼吁公众一起守护大桥的清洁：

"峇当鲁巴第一大桥属于我们所有人。让我们一起维护桥梁的清洁与美观，守护砂拉越的形象。"

这座桥取代了 Sebuyau–Triso 渡轮服务，原本30分钟的渡轮缩短到只需5分钟，是砂拉越沿海公路网络的重点工程之一。

你觉得呢？应该加重罚款还是加强宣导？

Just weeks after opening, Sarawak's RM848 million landmark bridge is already covered in rubbish — and netizens are calling it out.

Batang Lupar Bridge 1, the RM848.7 million, 4.844km bridge that opened on May 21, was meant to be a source of pride for Sarawak. Instead, photos of rubbish scattered along the bridge have gone viral.

Facebook user Ef Suhaimi shared images of the mess, comparing it to Brunei's much longer sea bridges that remain clean despite heavier traffic.

"I feel embarrassed when looking at Brunei. They have sea bridges over 20km long and you don't see rubbish being thrown on the bridge. Here in Sarawak, it is only about 4km and it already looks like this," he wrote.

JKR Sarawak responded by urging the public to take responsibility:
"Batang Lupar Bridge 1 belongs to all of us. Let us work together to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the bridge, which is a source of pride for the people of Sarawak."

The bridge replaces the Sebuyau–Triso ferry service, cutting travel time from 30 minutes to just 5 minutes, and is part of Sarawak's Coastal Road Network development programme.

砂拉越要变东南亚能源中心了——海底电缆计划横跨四国，供电新加坡、菲律宾和印尼！

首相安华今天在吉隆坡举行的能源转型大会（ETCon26）上宣布，联邦政府正与砂拉越政府合作推进一项跨国能源计划，通过铺设海底电缆将砂拉越的多余电力输送到区域市场。

安华说：「这项与砂拉越政府的联合提案利用非常大的能源容量，提供一条海底路线，满足马来西亚半岛、新加坡，以及沙巴至菲律宾和印尼的能源需求。」

砂拉越目前运营3座水力发电厂，总容量达3.5吉瓦（GW），足以供应约300万户家庭日常用电。第四座水电站正在建设中，目标是2030年前将发电容量提升至10GW。

砂拉越总理阿邦佐哈里此前透露，连接砂拉越与新加坡的海底电缆长约720公里，大部分途经印尼水域，预计2031年投入商业运营。

Sarawak is set to become Borneo's energy powerhouse — with an undersea cable project capable of supplying electricity to four countries including Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced today that the federal government and the Sarawak government are jointly pursuing a major cross-border energy initiative. Speaking at the Energy Transition Conference 2026 (ETCon26) in Kuala Lumpur, he said the plan involves laying undersea cables to transmit Sarawak's surplus energy to regional markets.

"This joint proposal with the Sarawak government utilises a very large energy capacity and provides an undersea route to meet energy needs in Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, as well as Sabah up to the Philippines and Indonesia," said Anwar.

Sarawak currently operates three hydropower plants with a combined capacity of 3.5 GW — enough to power about three million households daily. A fourth plant is under construction as part of the state's target to hit 10 GW generation capacity by 2030.

Sarawak Premier Abang Johari had previously revealed the undersea cable linking Sarawak to Singapore would span roughly 720km, mostly through Indonesian waters, and is expected to be commercially operational by 2031.

最精彩的是每天两场文化表演 — 民族舞蹈、传统音乐、Ngajat warrior dance。有游客在 Google 留 review 讲：

「The cultural show alone is worth the whole trip! — ★★★★★」

砂拉越距离引进中国顶尖大学复旦大学（Fudan University）只差最后一步！副总理沈桂贤医生下周将亲自飞往北京，争取中国政府的最终批准。

这项提案已经获得上海市政府、砂拉越政府以及马来西亚政府的批准，目前只欠中国中央政府的最后点头。

计划中的校区将设立医学院，这对于解决砂拉越目前短缺约2000名医生的问题至关重要。

沈桂贤是在诗巫华人社团联合会为中国驻马来西亚大使欧阳玉靖举办的晚宴上宣布这个消息的。

他表示，一旦获批，这将是复旦大学第一所海外校区，对砂拉越的教育发展意义重大。

Sarawak is just one step away from bringing China's prestigious Fudan University to Sibu — only final approval from Beijing remains.

Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Professor Dr Sim Kui Hian announced he will travel to Beijing next week to secure the green light from Chinese authorities.

The proposal has already been approved by the Shanghai government, the Sarawak government, and the Malaysian government.

The planned campus will include a medical school — a critical move to address Sarawak's shortage of around 2,000 doctors.

Dr Sim made the announcement at a dinner in Sibu hosted by the United Chinese Association (UCA) for Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia, His Excellency Ouyang Yujing.

“Talent development and education remain key priorities for the Sarawak government in our efforts to strengthen human capital and drive long-term development,” Dr Sim said.

If approved, this would be Fudan University's first overseas campus — a significant milestone for Sarawak's education landscape.

古晋 Semenggoh 野生动物中心传来暖心消息 — 红毛猩猩 Ruby 顺利产下第一胎，而且还是中心史上首次出现第四代繁殖纪录！

保育员在 5 月 19 日下午约 5 时 50 分发现 Ruby 抱着新生宝宝，这项喜讯随后在 5 月 31 日通过中心社交媒体公布。

这次分娩之所以意义重大，是因为 Ruby 的宝宝是 Semenggoh 首例第四代红毛猩猩 — 代表 Ruby、她的妈妈、婆婆，到现在的宝宝，整整四代都成功在保育计划中繁殖。

中心表示，这证明了砂拉越多年来对婆罗洲红毛猩猩的保护和复育计划取得实效。

目前 Ruby 和宝宝健康状况良好，保育员会持续观察。

Heartwarming news from Kuching's Semenggoh Wildlife Centre — Ruby the orangutan has given birth to her first baby, and it's a historic milestone for Sarawak's conservation efforts.

Rangers at the centre made the joyful discovery on May 19, spotting Ruby carrying her newborn around 5.50pm. The moment was confirmed via a social media post on May 31.

What makes this birth special? The newborn is the first recorded fourth-generation orangutan birth at Semenggoh — meaning Ruby, her mother, grandmother, and now her baby all represent four generations of successful rehabilitation and conservation.

The centre hailed the birth as a strong sign that Sarawak's ongoing efforts to protect and rehabilitate the Bornean Orangutan population are working.

Ruby and her baby are said to be in good health, with staff continuing to monitor them closely.

古晋80岁老翁误信网上投资骗局，痛失RM103,850。

受害者通过WhatsApp被一名自称在泰国芭堤雅经商的女子联系，对方邀请他加入一个名为"Wholesale International Business Online"的投资计划。

从2025年9月到2026年2月，这名老翁先后八次转账至6个不同的银行户口，总额高达RM103,850。对方承诺本金和回酬都会汇回给他。

结果到头来一分钱都拿不回，对方也完全失联。

古晋警区主任 Alexson Naga Chabu 助理总监表示，受害者是被诱导进行一系列付款交易，对方一再保证资金和回酬会存入受害者账户。

案件目前在 刑事法典第420条文（诈骗） 下展开调查。

An 80-year-old Kuching man lost RM103,850 after falling for an online investment scam promising big profits.

The victim was contacted on WhatsApp by a woman claiming to run a business in Pattaya, Thailand. She offered him a partnership in a "Wholesale International Business Online" scheme through a website she managed.

From September 2025 to February 2026, the man made eight bank transfers totalling RM103,850 to six different accounts. He was promised that both capital and returns would be deposited back into his account.

Reality hit when he could no longer reach the suspect to ask for his money back.

"The victim was directed to carry out a series of payment transactions as part of an alleged investment scheme, with assurances that the capital and returns would be deposited into the victim's account," said Kuching district police chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu.

The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
