讲真的，古晋开车 40 分钟就能到的一个地方，很多人竟然没去过。 今天要讲的是 Bau 的 Wind Cave Nature Reserve - 中文叫风洞，也有人叫 Gua Angin。 [image: 1783044442758-deal-weekend.jpg] 来源：Sarawak Forestry Corporation 如果你看过之前我们写 Fairy Cave（仙洞），那 Wind Cave 就在同一区，两个洞距离不到 5 分钟车程。大多数人都是早上一次过跑两个洞，我个人也觉得这样安排最顺。 风洞到底是什么？ 跟 Fairy Cave 那种灯火通明的 tourist attraction 不同，Wind Cave 比较原始。它是 Sarawak Forestry Corporation 管理的石灰岩洞穴系统，里面全是天然形成的钟乳石、石笋、流石壁 - 这些东西要几千年才能长成这样。 重点是：一定要带手电筒。不是手机那种，是真的手电筒。洞穴里面有些区域几乎全黑，手机那点光根本不够用。有人说入口可以租借手电筒，但不是每次都有货。 {img1} 来源：CPH Travel Google Maps 评分：4.3/5（797 条评价） 来看看大家怎么说： '洞穴很大，岩层非常壮观。楼梯有点滑，一定要穿合适的鞋子。' - Google 评价 '带家人去，小孩玩得很开心。但上坡那段路老人家会比较吃力。' - Google 评价 '我觉得比 Fairy Cave 更好玩。人少，更有探险的感觉。里面可以听到蝙蝠的叫声。' - TripAdvisor 评价 {img2} 来源：Malaysia Traveller 实用资讯： 地址：Jalan Bau-Lundu, 94000 Bau, Sarawak 开放时间：早上 9am - 下午 3pm（星期二休息） 电话：082-767 836 入门票：很低，基本上是象征式收费（建议先查 SFC 官网最新价格） 建议穿防滑鞋，石灰岩地很滑 必带手电筒 里面真的有蝙蝠，但它们在顶上，不用怕 我的建议路线： 早上先去 Fairy Cave（8am 开门）再去 Wind Cave 回程顺路去 Tasik Biru（碧湖）。一个早上搞定三个景点，完美。 {img3} 来源：TripAdvisor 洞穴里面走完全程大概 30-45 分钟，看你停多久拍照。里面很凉快，跟外面大太阳是两回事。最过瘾的是关掉手电筒三秒 - 那种完全黑暗的感觉，城市人真的很少体验到。 值得去吗？ 如果你是喜欢自然景观、山洞探险、不走寻常路的人 - 绝对值得。它不是那种商业化的景点，就是一个真真实实的山洞。而这正是它的魅力所在。 你去过 Wind Cave 吗？还是 Bau 其他的山洞？留言分享你的经验

Alright, let me tell you about a place that's been sitting just 40 minutes from Kuching city centre - and it's way cooler than most people expect. I'm talking about Wind Cave Nature Reserve (Gua Angin) in Bau. [image: 1783044442758-deal-weekend.jpg] Source: Sarawak Forestry Corporation If you've already done Fairy Cave in Bau (we covered that one before), Wind Cave is literally just a stone's throw away. Most people lump them together as a morning trip, and honestly? That's the smart way to do it. So what's the deal with Wind Cave? Unlike Fairy Cave which is lit up like a tourist attraction, Wind Cave is more... raw. It's a limestone cave system managed by Sarawak Forestry Corporation, and you're basically walking through natural caverns with incredible rock formations - stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones. The kind of stuff that takes thousands of years to form. Here's the catch: bring a TORCH. Seriously. The cave is dimly lit (if at all in some sections), and your phone flashlight won't cut it. Some visitors say renting a torch at the entrance is possible but supplies are limited. {img1} Source: CPH Travel Google Maps rating: 4.3/5 (797 reviews) Here's what people are saying: 'The cave is impressive - massive chambers with interesting formations. The steps can be slippery so wear proper shoes.' - Google review 'Went with my family, kids loved it. But the walk up can be tiring for elderly folks.' - Google review 'Better than Fairy Cave in my opinion. Less crowded, feels more adventurous. You can hear the bats chattering inside.' - TripAdvisor review {img2} Source: Malaysia Traveller What you need to know before going: Address: Jalan Bau-Lundu, 94000 Bau, Sarawak Hours: 9am - 3pm daily (CLOSED on Tuesdays) Contact: 082-767 836 Entrance fee: Minimal / donation-based (check with SFC for current rates) Tip: Wear non-slip shoes. The limestone can get slippery. Must bring: Torch / flashlight (they might have rental but don't count on it) You'll hear bats. They stay up high. Don't worry. Pro tip: Do Fairy Cave first (opens 8am), then head over to Wind Cave, then swing by Tasik Biru (Blue Lake) on your way back. That's a solid Bau day trip right there. {img3} Source: TripAdvisor The walk inside takes about 30-45 minutes depending on how much you stop to admire the formations. It's not a long trek, but it's an experience - the echo, the cool air, the total darkness when you turn off your torch for a second. Honestly gives you a different perspective on things. Is it worth the drive? If you're the type who likes nature, caves, and slightly off-the-beaten-path stuff - yes. It's not Disneyland. It's a real cave in a nature reserve. But that's exactly the charm. Have you been to Wind Cave? Or any of the Bau caves? Drop your experience below

古晋南市 MBKS 不忍了！警告将对散播财务假消息者采取法律行动。 古晋南市市政局（MBKS）市长 Dato Wee Hong Seng 今天放话，若有人继续发表或散播有关 MBKS 财务管理的不实指控，市政局将毫不犹豫采取法律行动。 [image: 1782972171737-mbks-sue.jpg] Wee 指出，某些政治人物刻意选择性引用财报数据，意图抹黑市政局形象、制造公众不信任。他强调，这些批评者分不清运营收入和政府拨款等受限资金的性质。 MBKS 持续在道路、排水、防洪、公共卫生、垃圾管理、公园及智慧城市计划中投入资源。大型排水和道路工程的巨额开销无法单靠门牌税支付，必须分阶段在第十三大马计划（13MP）下推行。 Wee 表示，若批评是公正提出的，那是有建设性的；但当局已通过 Facebook Live 和报章多次澄清，对方却一再扭曲事实。 地点： MBKS 大厦，古晋 详情： 古晋南市市长 Wee Hong Seng 新闻来源： DayakDaily 你觉得呢？

MBKS says it's had enough — critics keep recycling false claims about the council's finances despite repeated clarifications. Kuching South City Council (MBKS) Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng today warned that the council will not hesitate to pursue legal action against individuals or organisations that continue spreading false or defamatory allegations about MBKS's financial management. [image: 1782972171737-mbks-sue.jpg] He accused certain political figures of deliberately using selective financial data to tarnish MBKS's image and create public distrust. Wee stressed that critics had failed to distinguish between operational revenue and restricted funds such as government grants, which are legally earmarked for specific purposes. The council continues investing in roads, drainage, flood mitigation, public health, waste management, parks, and Smart City initiatives. Major drainage and road projects requiring millions are implemented in phases under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). Wee said criticism could be constructive if presented fairly, but rejected repeated attempts to distort facts after the council had already provided public explanations via Facebook Live and newspaper reports.

老实说第一次听到「独立广场」这个名字，还以为是那种很formal、很有距离感的地标。结果去了才发现 — 这根本就是古晋人的超大客厅好吗 [image: 1782958072026-padang-merdeka-1.jpg] 来源：Google Maps / Kuching Travel Padang Merdeka，中文叫独立广场，就坐落在古晋市区Jalan Padungan正对面，MBKS（古晋南市市政局）前面那片超大的草地。讲白一点，就是一片草场。但古晋人对这片草场，是真的有感情。 这片草场不简单 早上五六点，太阳还没完全出来的时候，你会看到一群群安娣安哥在那边打太极、跳操。年轻人沿着边缘慢跑，遛狗的遛狗，还有家庭铺了草席在那边野餐。到了傍晚更热闹，小孩追来追去，情侣坐草地上看日落，还有人放风筝放得老高。 [image: 1782958072090-padang-merdeka-2.jpg] 来源：Kuching Tourism 每年的古晋节（Kuching Festival）和国庆月，这里直接变身大型嘉年华 — 几十个美食摊位，游乐设施，舞台表演，人潮汹涌到你要挤着走 讲真的，那时候来最值得。 看看大家怎么说 Google Maps上翻了一圈，综合评分大概4.1，大家看法很一致： 「市区里面很大的一块草地，环境维持得不错，早上来散步很舒服。」 — Ah Meng (4/5) 「每年古晋节必来，食物选择超多，气氛很好。平时来就有点普通啦。」 — 小雯 (4/5) 「带小孩来放风筝的好地方，傍晚不会太热，孩子跑得很开心。」 — Jason T. (4/5) 「晚上很多人坐在草地上聊天吹风，很relax。不过蚊子有点多，记得带repellent」 — Siti N. (4/5) 「历史意义重大，但如果是当景点来逛，半小时就看完了。建议配合附近景点一起走。」 — Wei Kit (3/5) [image: 1782958072143-padang-merdeka-3.jpg] 来源：Google Maps Reviews 一点点历史 Padang Merdeka 这个名字不是随便起的。这里在 Brooke 王朝时期是 recreation ground，打马球、打板球用的。后来砂拉越独立、加入马来西亚，这里就变成了国庆庆典的场地，从此就叫「独立广场」了。 旁边的 MBKS 大楼本身也值得看一下 — 把砂拉越传统图案融进了现代建筑设计，算是古晋比较有代表性的政府建筑之一。 [image: 1782958072232-padang-merdeka-4.jpg] 来源：古晋南市市政局 / 本地部落格 附近有什么可以一起走 独立广场的位置真的很中心，走路可以到一堆地方： Jalan Padungan（浮罗岸） — 古晋最有名的美食街！海鲜大餐、Bing! 海鲜、Top Spot 都在这里 古晋河滨公园（Waterfront） — 走路大概10分钟，沿河散步很舒服 ️ Main Bazaar — 买手信的地方，走过去几分钟 大伯公庙 — 古晋最老的庙之一，也在附近 [image: 1782958072322-padang-merdeka-5.jpg] 来源：Google Maps / 本地旅游指南 实用资讯 地点： Jalan Padungan，MBKS 大楼正对面 开放时间： 24小时，免费进场 门票： 免费！零吉都不用 停车： 路边停车位有限，建议停河滨公园那边走路过来 最佳时间： 早上9点前 或 傍晚5点后 — 中午真的会晒到你怀疑人生 注意： 傍晚蚊子多，带防蚊液 [image: 1782958072374-padang-merdeka-6.jpg] 来源：Kuching City Guide 总结一下 如果你问我值不值得特地来 — 我的答案是：如果你刚好在古晋市区走走，可以顺便绕过来看看，配合Jalan Padungan美食街一起走，就是一个很棒的傍晚行程。特地跑来就不用了啦，除非刚好遇到古晋节或国庆活动。 但如果你想感受古晋人日常生活的样子 — 早上来看安娣打太极，傍晚来看小孩放风筝，你就能看到这座城市最真实的一面。 你去过 Padang Merdeka 吗？对这里有什么回忆？留言分享看看

Right in the middle of Kuching, there's this massive open field that practically every local has a memory of. Whether it's the Kuching Festival night market, watching National Day fireworks, or just bringing kids to fly kites on a Sunday afternoon — Padang Merdeka is the kind of place that's woven into daily life here. [image: 1782958072026-padang-merdeka-1.jpg] Source: Google Maps / Kuching Travel Let me be real with you — it's literally just a field. But somehow, it's one of the most happening open spaces in town. What Makes It Special What sets Padang Merdeka apart is not the field itself, but the energy around it. On any given morning, you'll see tai chi groups, joggers, and dog walkers sharing the space like it's a giant community living room. Come evening, families sprawl out on picnic mats while kids chase each other around. [image: 1782958072090-padang-merdeka-2.jpg] Source: Kuching Tourism During festive seasons — especially August leading up to Merdeka Day and the Kuching Festival in late July/August — the field transforms into a massive carnival ground with food stalls, rides, and non-stop activities. Real Talk from Visitors I dug through Google Maps reviews and here's what people actually say: "A great place to relax and take a stroll. Very well-maintained field in the middle of Kuching city." — Azman H. (4/5) "The Kuching Festival here is amazing! So much food and the atmosphere is electric." — Samantha T. (5/5) "Good place for morning exercise, clean and spacious. Free entry." — David L. (4/5) "Nice historical field but can get very hot in the afternoon. Best to visit in the early morning or evening." — Mei Ling C. (4/5) "Love watching the sunset here. The view of the surrounding buildings and hills is pretty nice." — Ravi K. (4/5) [image: 1782958072143-padang-merdeka-3.jpg] Source: Google Maps Reviews The History Behind It Padang Merdeka literally means 'Independence Field'. This patch of green was originally a recreation ground during the White Rajah era, used for polo and cricket matches. After Sarawak's independence and the formation of Malaysia, it became the site for national celebrations — hence the name. The distinctive MBKS (Kuching South City Council) building overlooking the field is itself an architectural piece worth noticing, with its traditional Sarawak motifs incorporated into a modern design. [image: 1782958072232-padang-merdeka-4.jpg] Source: Kuching South City Council / Local Blog What's Around This is where it gets good. Right next to Padang Merdeka is: Jalan Padungan — Kuching's most famous eating street. The seafood here is legendary (Bing! Seafood, Top Spot Food Court, you name it) Kuching Waterfront — A 10-minute walk away along the Sarawak River Main Bazaar — Souvenir shops, just a short stroll from the field Tua Pek Kong Temple — One of Kuching's oldest temples, nearby [image: 1782958072322-padang-merdeka-5.jpg] Source: Google Maps / Local Travel Guide Practical Info Location: Jalan Padungan, right in front of MBKS building Open: 24/7, free access Entry Fee: Free! Zero ringgit Parking: Limited street parking. Better to park nearby at the waterfront area Best Time to Visit: Early morning (before 9am) or evening (after 5pm) — the heat is real [image: 1782958072374-padang-merdeka-6.jpg] Source: Kuching City Guide Verdict Is it a must-visit attraction? I'd say yes — not because the field itself is stunning, but because it gives you a real sense of Kuching's community vibe. Come during the Kuching Festival if you can, or just drop by in the evening, grab some street food nearby, and watch the city wind down. It's not a whole-day thing. Give it 30-45 minutes max unless there's an event on. Pair it with a walk along Jalan Padungan for a solid evening out. Have you been to Padang Merdeka? What's your favourite memory of this place?

Stampin 国会议员张健仁炮轰砂政府外劳系统 Sansols，指一家私人公司每年经平台收取高达 RM2 亿费用，要求立即废除。 张健仁今天发表声明指出，砂拉越政府自 2025 年 1 月起强制所有雇主使用 Sansols 平台申请外劳，每名外劳收费 RM1,800。全砂约 13 万名外劳计算下来，一年累计高达 RM2 亿，全进了一家私人公司口袋。 「以数字化为名，GPS 州政府强制全砂公司使用 Sansols 平台申请外劳。这制造了不必要的官僚程序和成本，其他州属根本没有这套系统，」他说。 张健仁揭露，人力资源部已确认 Sansols 由砂政府推行，所有收费政策由砂政府决定。平台由一家私人公司垄断经营，采购过程完全不透明。 他还指出，Pending 州议员 Violet Yong 今年 5 月在 DUN 会议上揭露，所有平台收费都流向了同一家私人公司。 「这家公司怎么被选中的？幕后是谁？砂政府必须向人民交代，」他强调。 他要求砂政府公开 Sansols 经营公司的背景，并恢复之前完全免费的 MSEN 外劳监控系统。 [image: 1782954437699-stampin-fwta.jpg] 地点： 古晋，砂拉越 详情： Sansols 外劳平台自 2025 年 1 月强制推行；张健仁指单一私人公司每年收取约 RM2 亿 新闻来源： The Borneo Post 你觉得 Sansols 该废吗？

Stampin MP Chong Chieng Jen has called for the immediate termination of the Sansols foreign worker platform, claiming a single private company has collected an estimated RM200 million annually from Sarawak employers. Speaking today, the DAP Sarawak chairman said the Sarawak government's Foreign Workers Transformation Approach (FWTA) via the Sansols platform has created unnecessary costs and red tape for businesses. Chong revealed that the Ministry of Human Resources confirmed Sansols was made compulsory by the Sarawak government in January 2025 for all foreign worker applications in the state. Other states in Malaysia do not require a similar system. "The modus operandi was kept very secretive until it was finally exposed by Pending assemblywoman Violet Yong in the recent DUN Sitting in May that all payments go to one private company," he said. With an estimated 130,000 foreign workers in Sarawak, Chong calculated that at RM1,800 per worker, the company could have collected about RM200 million in a single year. Describing it as "an abuse of our immigration autonomy", he urged the state government to disclose the identity of the company operating Sansols and explain how it was selected. He called for Sansols to be abolished and the previous free-of-charge MSEN system to be reinstated.

Sarawak has clocked a GDP per capita of RM73,757 in 2025, comfortably above the national average of RM59,167. The latest numbers from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) show Sarawak is punching above its weight economically — joining KL, Putrajaya, Labuan, Penang and Selangor as states that beat the national average. [image: 1782885725943-sarawak-gdp-2025.jpg] By the numbers Sarawak's total GDP hit RM153.5 billion, growing 3.6% from 2024 Services sector led the charge, up 5.4% — driven by wholesale & retail trade, F&B, accommodation, utilities, transport, storage and ICT Agriculture grew 4.3%, thanks to higher oil palm production Mining & quarrying rose 2.7%, supported by natural gas output Manufacturing was flat at 0.1% National GDP expanded 5.2% to RM1.74 trillion, with Construction being the fastest-growing sector nationwide at 12.2%. Where Sarawak stands Despite growing at a more moderate 3.6%, Sarawak remains one of Malaysia's most economically significant states. Alongside KL, Johor and Penang, Sarawak accounted for a big chunk of the country's total economic output. Chief Statistician Dato' Sri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin noted that all states recorded positive growth in 2025, reflecting a resilient economic environment despite global uncertainties. DOSM added that Malaysia's 2026 outlook stays positive — Q1 2026 already shows 5.4% GDP growth and a record-high 70.8% labour force participation.
