古晋高庭推翻少年感化令，改判16岁无牌司机6年监禁 — 今年1月他在 Stutong Baru 撞死5人。 今年1月14日，一名16岁少年无牌驾驶 Proton Saga，在古晋 Jalan Stutong Baru 与另一辆车相撞，导致5人死亡，死者年龄介于16至42岁。 [image: 1782781445352-kuching-court-teen-crash.jpg] 地方法院原本判处少年送往 Henry Gurney School 感化至21岁，但控方不满刑罚过轻提出上诉。控方指出，案件涉及5条人命，加上青少年无牌驾驶致死案日益增加，应该判以阻吓性刑罚。 高庭司法专员 Datuk Faridz Gohim Abdullah 接纳控方上诉，撤销感化令，改判6年监禁，刑期从2025年6月16日起算。法庭也下令少年需与成年囚犯分开服刑。 少年早前已承认危险驾驶导致死亡及无牌驾驶两项控状。 更令人关注的是，少年的父亲 Lawan Akie Suma 也因疏于监督，被判罚款 RM15,000 及履行100小时社区服务。 地点： 古晋 Jalan Stutong Baru ️ 判决： 6年监禁（推翻原 Henry Gurney 感化令） 父亲罚款： RM15,000 + 100小时社区服务 新闻来源： DayakDaily 你觉得高庭改判监禁是对的吗？

Kuching High Court has sentenced a 16-year-old boy to six years in prison after overturning an earlier order that sent him to Henry Gurney School for a crash that claimed five lives. The teenager, who was unlicensed, was behind the wheel of a Proton Saga when it collided with another vehicle along Jalan Stutong Baru on January 14, 2026. Five people aged between 16 and 42 were killed. [image: 1782781445352-kuching-court-teen-crash.jpg] The Magistrates' Court had initially ordered the boy to be detained at Henry Gurney School until age 21, but the prosecution appealed — arguing the sentence was too lenient given the gravity of the offence and the rising number of fatal crashes involving underage drivers. Judicial Commissioner Datuk Faridz Gohim Abdullah agreed, setting aside the Henry Gurney order and imposing a six-year prison sentence from June 16, 2025. The court also ordered that the teen be segregated from adult inmates. The boy had pleaded guilty to reckless driving causing death and driving without a valid licence. On top of the criminal case, his father was fined RM15,000 and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service for failing to supervise his son properly.

They're back at it again — Spiderman, Batman and Iron Man at Kuching traffic lights, waving buckets for donations. DBKU (Kuching North City Commission) says it's had enough. Despite repeated warnings, people dressed as superheroes keep returning to busy road intersections and roundabouts to collect money from drivers. Mayor of Kuching North, Dato Hilmy Othman, said complaints have been flooding in through the DBKU hotline and from enforcement officers on the ground. [image: 1782712956689-dbku-superheroes.jpg] "Every time we take action, they disappear for two or three days — then they come back again," he said. "We have no issue taking firm action if they remain stubborn." Safety concern Hilmy stressed that the activity is dangerous — not just for the people standing in traffic, but also for motorists who get distracted or have to brake suddenly, especially during peak hours. Street performance not banned DBKU clarified that it's not against street performances per se — but anyone wanting to perform or entertain needs a permit first. Collecting money at hazardous spots without approval won't be tolerated. "Any form of entertainment within DBKU's administrative area requires prior approval," he said.

If you're walking around Kuching city center, you've definitely seen this — the striking golden-domed Kuching City Mosque, also known as Masjid Bandaraya Kuching. It's one of those landmarks that you can't miss, sitting right in the heart of the city near the old town. This mosque isn't just for worshippers — it's open to visitors too, and honestly, it's well worth a stop if you're exploring the heritage area. [image: 1782699116420-mosque1.jpg] Source: Wikimedia Commons What makes it special: Masjid Bandaraya Kuching has a rich history — it was originally built as the Town Mosque (Masjid Bandar) way back in the 19th century, and was initially known as the "Pink Mosque" because of its original color. The current building you see today was reconstructed and expanded, now serving as the main city mosque for Kuching. The architecture blends modern Islamic design with traditional Sarawakian elements. The large golden dome and tall minarets make it a photogenic spot, especially during golden hour when the sunlight hits the dome just right. [image: 1782699116505-mosque2.jpg] Source: Flickr / mrlinsay What visitors say: On Google Maps, Kuching City Mosque has an impressive 4.8 rating from over 1,800 reviews — one of the highest-rated attractions in the city. Many visitors highlight how welcoming the mosque is to non-Muslims. One reviewer said: "It's beautiful and very well maintained. Non-Muslims are welcome to enter and take photos. The staff were very friendly." Another traveler on Tripadvisor noted: "The architecture is exquisite, with intricate details both inside and outside. The peaceful atmosphere is very calming, especially during prayer times." [image: 1782699116620-mosque3.jpg] Source: Mosqpedia Tips for visiting: Dress code: Modest clothing required. Women need to cover their hair — robes and headscarves are usually available at the entrance if you forget. Shoes: Remove before entering the prayer hall. Photography: Allowed, but be respectful — avoid taking photos during prayer times or of people praying. Entry: Completely free. Best time: Early morning or late afternoon for the best light. Avoid Friday 12-2pm (Friday prayers). Location bonus: The mosque is just a short walk from Kuching Waterfront, Main Bazaar, and Carpenter Street. You can easily combine it with a heritage walk! [image: 1782699116768-mosque4.jpg] Source: Mosqpedia For Muslim travelers: The mosque has clean prayer facilities (male and female), shoe racks, and wudu (ablution) areas.
