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.

[image: 1780102952038-nkia-airfares.jpg] Federal govt open to Sarawak taking bigger role in new Kuching airport — plus talks on cheaper domestic flights Sarawak's Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin met with his federal counterpart Anthony Loke in Putrajaya on May 26, and two big topics came up that affect every Sarawakian who travels. First, the proposed New Kuching International Airport (NKIA). The federal government is now open to exploring a decentralised development model, meaning Sarawak would have a bigger say in planning and building the airport. "Allowing the Sarawak government to play a greater role in the planning and implementation of the project while supporting Sarawak's long-term aviation and economic aspirations," Lee said in a statement. The meeting also covered the submission of the Aerodrome Development Request for NKIA. Domestic airfares — still a pain point for Sarawakians Lee proposed reviving three key routes under the Rural Air Services Public Service Obligation (PSO) framework: Kuching–Sibu Kuching–Bintulu Kuching–Miri This could make domestic flights more affordable for people travelling within Sarawak. Airfare caps were also discussed, with Loke suggesting AirBorneo could operate these routes commercially using its ATR72 aircraft. Also on the table: extra Miri–Bario flights for the upcoming Bario Food and Cultural Festival (Pesta Nukenen Bario) in July, and the long-term Bintulu–Samalaju rail link under the Trans-Borneo Railway initiative.

美里附近 Bekenu 一间21门长屋今晨遭大火吞噬，136名居民一夜之间失去家园。 消拯局凌晨1:17接获投报，Batu Niah 及美中消拯局随即派员赶赴 Rumah Nelson Ningkan，Jalan Sungai Saeh，Kampung Labau Bekenu 展开灌救。 这座非永久性木制长屋单位每间面积约16×100平方英尺，整栋建筑完全烧毁。 消拯人员耗时7小时，出动4条水柱分别从正面、两侧及后方灌射，直到早上8:18才控制火势。 所幸无人伤亡，但136名居民已全部流离失所。 地点： Kampung Labau Bekenu（美里附近） 详情： 21门非永久木制长屋全毁；7小时灌救行动；无人伤亡 [image: download] 图片来源：大马消拯局（Bomba） 新闻来源： DayakDaily 你觉得呢？

A massive fire tore through a 21-door longhouse in Bekenu in the early hours of this morning, leaving 136 residents without a home. The Fire and Rescue Department received the distress call at 1:17am. Firefighters from Batu Niah and Miri Central stations rushed to Rumah Nelson Ningkan, Jalan Sungai Saeh, Kampung Labau Bekenu to battle the blaze. The longhouse — a non-permanent wooden structure with individual homes measuring 16×100 square feet — was completely destroyed. It took crews seven hours to contain the fire. Firefighters used four water streams to tackle flames from the front, back, and sides of the building. The operation wrapped up at 8:18am. No injuries or deaths were reported, but all 136 residents have been displaced.

A kopitiam that has survived nearly six decades — and still serves its char siew, steamed chicken and Hainanese coffee the old-school way. Just five days before Christmas in 1968, Ann Loke Hui Cafe was officially registered on Jalan Sekama. Almost 60 years later, it is still going strong under the Hua family. [image: 1780016782710-ann-loke-hui-01.jpg] John Hua (right) and his 83-year-old mother Chai Lan Jin at their coffee station. Today, 56-year-old John Hua runs the business, taking over from his father Hua Kia Jin in 2001. His father ran the cafe for 33 years before passing away at 64. His mother, now 83, still helps in the kitchen. What makes this place special? The cafe was at its busiest during the Lido Theatre era — cinema-goers would flood in before and after shows. Many regulars still come in today, reminiscing about those days. Signature dishes: steamed chicken, char siew, three-layer pork with savoury rice, meat curry rice, kueh teow in tomato sauce, and traditional Hainan coffee served in vintage kopitiam cups. [image: 1780016787269-ann-loke-hui-02.jpg] Meat curry rice and pork with savoury rice — Hainanese staples. Old habits die hard here.

"It would otherwise go to waste," John explains about the newspaper practice. The Hua family hopes to pass the cafe to the next generation.

Sarawak GOF seizes RM17.5 million in assets, busts massive diesel smuggling ring KUCHING (May 28) — The Sarawak Brigade of the General Operations Force (GOF) has cracked down on a large-scale diesel smuggling syndicate, seizing over 342,000 litres of subsidised diesel worth approximately RM1.8 million. [image: gof-diesel-bust.jpg] GOF commander SAC Lim Bak Phai The operation, code-named Op Tiris, ran from March 16 to Tuesday across 11 districts including Kuching, Samarahan, Sri Aman, Sibu, Kapit, Bintulu, Miri, Lawas, Bau, Serian and Lundu.

If you've only been to Bako and skipped Kubah, you're missing out on something special. Kubah National Park is just 20km from Kuching city — about a 40-minute drive. But the vibe here is completely different from Bako. While Bako is all about coastal sandstone formations, Kubah is deep, wet, dense jungle that barely lets light through the canopy. I went there once around 7am, and the morning mist was still hanging in the air. The whole forest felt like a steam room. As I made my way to the Waterfall Trail, the first rays of sunlight broke through — honestly one of those moments where words don't do it justice. [image: 1779933787452-kubah_waterfall-resized.jpg] Source: Kelvin Toh / Wikimedia Commons What makes Kubah special? Palm trees. This park has one of the highest palm diversity in the world — 98 different species across 2,230 hectares. It was gazetted as a national park in 1989 mainly because of its palm richness. And the frogs here are something else. The Bornean narrow-mouthed frog is only found around Kubah. What people are saying: "Waterfall trail is pretty easy and the waterfall itself is gorgeous. Saw wild boars and a monitor lizard." — Muhammad A., Google Maps "You can easily spend 3-4 hours here on different trails. The palm collection is insane." — Sarah L., TripAdvisor "Best to come early, before 8am. Do Waterfall Trail first then Summit Trail, finish by noon. Bring enough water, there's nowhere to buy on the mountain." — Ah Hau, FB Kuching Hiking Group [image: 1779933795933-kubah_canopy-resized.jpg] Source: Angeline Ting / Wikimedia Commons The Trails: There are 7 colour-coded trails ranging from 255m (Palmetum) to 5km (Summit Trail). My pick: Waterfall Trail — moderate difficulty, about 1 hour to the waterfall. If the weather's good, continue on the Summit Trail up to Gunung Serapi viewpoint at 800m. Trails are well-maintained but can get slippery after rain. Definitely wear hiking shoes. [image: 1779933797308-kubah_trail2-resized.jpg] Source: Angeline Ting / Wikimedia Commons Wildlife spotting: Besides palms and frogs, keep an eye out for bearded pigs, hornbills, squirrels, and mouse deer.

老实讲，如果你来古晋只去 Bako 没有去 Kubah，你 miss 了一个很特别的地方。 Kubah National Park 离古晋市区才 20km，开车大概 40 分钟就到了。但这里跟 Bako 完全不一样的感觉——Bako 是海边的 sandstone 地貌，Kubah 是雨林深处那种溼溼的、绿到不透光的 jungle 体验。 我第一次去的时候是早上 7 点多，那个雾气还没散，整个森林像在蒸桑拿一样。走到 Waterfall Trail 的时候刚好阳光打下来——那个画面，真的有点美到讲不出话。 [image: 1779933787452-kubah_waterfall-resized.jpg] 来源：Kelvin Toh / Wikimedia Commons 这里最出名的是什么？ Palm trees。全世界 palm 品种最密的地方之一，98 种 palm 在这个 2230 公顷的公园里找到。 而且这里的青蛙也是一绝——Bornean narrow-mouthed frog 就只有在 Kubah 附近找得到。 有些人去过后的真实评价： "Waterfall trail is pretty easy and the waterfall itself is gorgeous. Saw wild boars and a monitor lizard." — Muhammad A., Google Maps "You can easily spend 3-4 hours here on different trails.

Sibu is just RM3 million away from becoming Sarawak’s next city — its council reserves have more than doubled since 2019. Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) chairman Clarence Ting announced today that the town’s financial reserves have grown to RM47 million, up sharply from RM19 million when he took office in 2019. The threshold for city status is RM50 million. [image: 1779861795348-sibu-city-status.jpg] SMC chairman Clarence Ting speaking at a press conference after launching the WAK Sibu Festival 2026 calendar at Wisma Sanyan on May 26. The second requirement — a population of 300,000 — is also being gradually met as Sibu sees demographic shifts and steady growth. “When I became chairman in 2019, people often asked why Miri could be upgraded to a city but not Sibu. After reviewing the criteria, we were only short of two main requirements,” Ting said. Sibu, long seen as a predominantly Chinese-majority town, is now becoming increasingly diverse, with a growing Iban population and broader ethnic representation.

I've been living in Kuching for years, and I only made it to Sarawak Cultural Village last month Honestly, I always thought this was just another tourist trap — a fake village for photo ops. But after visiting… I take it back. This place is massive — 17 acres right across from Damai Beach. A proper walkthrough takes 3-4 hours if you actually stop and explore.

坦白讲，在 Kuching 住了这么多年，我竟然上个月才第一次去 Sarawak Cultural Village 老实说，之前一直觉得这就是个 tourist trap，给游客看的样板村而已。但去了之后… 我收回这句话。 这地方有多大？17 acres，就在 Damai Beach 对面，走一圈下来差不多要 3-4 个小时，前提是你真的有在认真看。 [image: 1779847477822-scv1.jpg] 来源：TripAdvisor - Sarawak Cultural Village 全景 整个 Village 复制了 Sarawak 7 个主要族群的传统房屋：Iban Longhouse、Bidayuh Round House、Orang Ulu 长屋、Melanau Tall House、中国式农舍、马来 Kampung 屋，还有 Penan 的树皮棚。每个屋子都有族裔代表在里面做手工艺，是真的在做，不是摆拍。 [image: 1779847478114-scv2.jpg] 来源：Travel+Leisure Asia 最值得看的是中午那场 Cultural Show — 各族传统舞蹈轮番上场，Iban 的 ngajat、Orang Ulu 的 sape 演奏、马来舞、华人舞… 表演者看得出是真的享受，不是应付式的那种 tourist performance。 网上真实评价（整理自 Google Maps / TripAdvisor）： "This is a must-visit in Kuching.
