古晋浮罗岸及Jalan Chan Chin Ann一带将增建约200公尺箱涵，改善暴雨时的排水能力。工程预计持续至2027年6月，沿线商家和往来公众也须留意施工期间的通行安排。

据DayakDaily于10月21日报道，古晋南市市长拿督黄鸿圣（Wee Hong Seng）已于10月20日把工地移交承包商Liscorp Services。这项南市市政局工程合约总值145万令吉，范围涵盖浮罗岸路、Jalan Chan Chin Ann及周边地区。

新增钢筋混凝土箱涵宽、深各1.2公尺，作用是让雨水更顺畅地流入现有排水网络。工程也包括受影响公用设施的迁移、道路与人行道修复，以及交通管理和工地安全措施。

对沿线店家而言，施工期间能否顺利进出同样重要。南市提醒，工程可能带来临时交通改道、出入限制、噪音和扬尘，并表示会向公众公布施工及必要的交通安排。这不等于已经宣布两条道路全线封闭。

排水提升也并非一劳永逸的防洪保证。南市说明，降雨强度、潮汐、河流水位和上游来水都会影响淹水情况；工程目标是降低局部闪电水灾的风险与严重程度，而不是承诺此后不再淹水。

Businesses and road users along Jalan Padungan and Jalan Chan Chin Ann face temporary construction disruption as MBKS upgrades drainage in the flood-prone commercial area.

The RM1.45 million project is expected to run until June 2027. Kuching South mayor Datuk Wee Hong Seng handed the site to contractor Liscorp Services on Oct 20, according to DayakDaily’s Oct 21 report.

About 200 metres of additional reinforced-concrete box drains, each 1.2 metres wide and 1.2 metres deep, are planned to improve stormwater flow through the existing network. The work also covers affected utility services and reinstatement of roads and footpaths.

For people visiting or operating shops in the area, the immediate issue is access during construction. MBKS warned of possible traffic diversions, access restrictions, noise and dust, and said the public would be informed about work and necessary traffic arrangements. These are potential disruptions over the construction period, not a blanket road-closure announcement.

The council also cautioned that better drains will not eliminate flooding altogether. Rainfall intensity, tides, river levels and upstream discharge can still affect conditions. June 2027 is the expected construction endpoint; it is not a promise that Padungan will become flood-free.

古晋电网强化工程首期目标在2028年第二季完成，第二期则仍在进行可行性研究。两期进度不能混为同一条完工时间线。

公用事业及通讯部长10月19日在州议会汇报，这项估计耗资30亿令吉的工程进度为32.2%。首期路线为Entingan至Tanjong Bako，旨在应付古晋与三马拉汉省未来大型发展项目的用电需求，包括丹绒恩邦一带。

首期三个组成部分差距明显：Entingan B的275千伏变电站完成30.3%，Tanjong Bako的275千伏变电站完成21%，连接两站的275千伏输电线则达到77.5%。因此，不能因输电线进度较高，就认为整套供电设施即将启用；变电站工程同样是首期的一部分。

第二期覆盖Demak Laut至Santubong路线，可行性研究预计2027年首季完成，施工暂排在2028年第四季开始。这里的2028年指开工安排，不是第二期竣工日期。

这次公布的是未来电力基础建设的进程，并非住户停电、调整电费或丹绒恩邦相关发展项目已经开业的通知。

Kuching’s RM3 billion network-reinforcement project has a first-phase completion target of the second quarter of 2028, while the second phase is still being studied.

The utility and telecommunication minister reported progress of 32.2 per cent in the Oct 19 State Legislative Assembly update. The first phase covers the Entingan–Tanjong Bako route, providing power infrastructure for future development in the Kuching and Samarahan divisions, including Tanjung Embang.

Its components are advancing at different speeds. The Entingan B 275kV substation was 30.3 per cent complete, the Tanjong Bako 275kV substation 21 per cent, and the connecting 275kV transmission line 77.5 per cent. A transmission line close to completion does not mean the whole first phase is ready: the substations remain part of the work.

The Demak Laut–Santubong second phase has a separate timetable. Its feasibility study is expected to finish in the first quarter of 2027, with construction scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2028. That is a proposed start window, not another facility due to open in 2028.

For the Kuching area, the update sets out how future electricity capacity is being prepared. It does not announce a household power interruption, a tariff change or an operational opening of the planned Tanjung Embang developments.

砂拉越拟建的310床癌症中心，预计明年首季颁发工程合约，目标2032年建竣。目前仍处于招标采购阶段，并非已经投入服务。

公共卫生、房屋及地方政府部长10月20日在州议会汇报，采购由马来西亚公共工程局处理，工程期为5年。对等待设施进展的家庭，较近的节点是2027年首季预计发出的接受合约书；310张病床则是计划容量，不能当作目前新增的可用床位。

这项总值超过15亿令吉的工程，砂政府承担的两笔资金性质不同：5亿令吉是出资，另10亿令吉是借给联邦政府的贷款，不能全部写成无偿拨款。

2027年砂财政预算案另列2000万令吉供项目执行。这是明年的实施拨款，不是整座中心的总造价。州政府也将负责指定类别设备的采购，相关程序及批准工作正在进行。

现阶段应把招标、颁约、施工与接收病人分开看。部长公布的是工程完成目标，并没有宣布更早的病人登记或开诊日期。

Sarawak’s planned 310-bed cancer centre remains at the tender procurement stage, with the contract expected to be awarded in the first quarter of 2027 and completion targeted for 2032.

The public health, housing and local government minister gave the timetable at the State Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. JKR Malaysia is handling the tender procurement, and the proposed construction period is five years. These are project targets—not an announcement that the centre has opened or that patients can register for treatment there.

The financing has two different parts. The Sarawak government is contributing RM500 million and providing a RM1 billion loan to the federal government for a project estimated to cost more than RM1.5 billion. The loan should not be read as another outright state grant.

A further implementation milestone is the RM20 million allocation for 2027 announced in the state Budget speech. That annual allocation is not the centre’s total project cost. Processing and approvals for the state’s procurement of the specified equipment categories are also underway.

For families following the project, the next concrete step is the expected letter of acceptance in early 2027. The 310 beds describe planned capacity; the reported timetable does not provide an earlier patient-service opening date.

古晋防洪计划第二期拟在11月初进行价值评估与价值工程工作坊，实体工程执行期则排在2027至2033年。眼前的节点是工程筹备，并非整项防洪设施已经启用。

公共卫生、房屋及地方政府部长10月20日在州议会汇报，这项总值24亿8000万令吉的计划，包括一条长6公里的砂拉越河绕道。工程完成后，预计保护大古晋47万零233名居民及4万7264公顷土地；这是未来覆盖估算，不是目前已获得保护的人口或面积。

居民追踪进度时，须把第二期完整计划与其他河流工程分开。部长另提到砂拉越河综合流域发展项目下的3个工程配套，合计1亿9100万令吉，目前处于不同施工阶段，目标在2027年第二至第三季完成。

这3个配套的完工目标，并不表示整项24亿8000万令吉防洪计划明年就会完成。完整计划公布的实体执行期延续至2033年，11月的评估工作坊则是更接近当前的准备步骤。

因此，明年个别工程完工与整条绕道落实，是不同层次的进展，不能用其中一个时间表代替另一个。

Kuching’s RM2.48 billion Phase 2 flood-mitigation plan is heading for value-assessment and value-engineering workshops in early November, ahead of a planned 2027–2033 physical implementation period.

The public health, housing and local government minister set out the next preparatory step in an Oct 20 State Legislative Assembly update. The plan includes a 6km Sungai Sarawak bypass, with protection expected to cover 470,233 residents and 47,264 hectares in Greater Kuching once completed. Those are future coverage estimates, not a statement that the bypass is already protecting that area.

For residents following flood works, the engineering review is a more immediate milestone than the eventual completion window. The announcement describes preparation for construction; it is not a notice that the full Phase 2 scheme has begun operating.

Three other packages under the Sungai Sarawak Integrated River Basin Development project are at various stages of physical implementation. Their combined RM191 million cost and target completion between the second and third quarters of 2027 belong to those packages, not to completion of the entire RM2.48 billion plan.

The distinction matters when assessing progress around Kuching: a package finishing next year should not be mistaken for delivery of the full bypass scheme, whose stated implementation window extends to 2033.

在古晋老街走累了，我会把下一站分成两种：只想喝杯咖啡，还是想坐下来好好吃一餐。Upper China Street 的 Indah House Kuching 比较适合后者。椰浆饭可以当主角，咖啡和店里的艺术作品则让这顿饭不必吃得太匆忙。

Google Map / Indah House Kuching

这家店不是先有一整套餐牌才开门的。2014年，创办人 Trudy 从小小的艺廊咖啡馆做起，让砂拉越艺术家有地方展示、售卖作品；最初供应的是咖啡和蛋糕。后来客人想吃得更完整，厨房才逐步加入餐食。比起把它当成一间装潢好看的咖啡店，我更喜欢这个由客人的需要慢慢长出来的故事。

第一次来，我会先问当天有哪些椰浆饭选择，再决定要不要加点别的。同行的人若偏向轻食，也可以把自家烘焙和咖啡当作另一条路线。店里有素食与纯植物饮食的选择，但不代表每一份饭都符合相同需求；不吃蛋、避开某些食材的话，点餐时直接说清楚会更稳妥。

Google Map / Indah House Kuching

想把砂拉越食材认识得更深入，这里还有另一种安排：烹饪课先带参加者逛本地农贸市场，回到厨房做五道菜，再一起吃自己完成的餐点。我会为这件事另外留半天、提前预约，不把它塞进临时午餐行程。只是来老街散步的话，吃饭、喝咖啡、看看艺术作品，节奏已经足够舒服。

咖啡馆后来增加了餐食，蛋糕和烘焙却仍然留在店里的日常。如果前一站已经吃饱，我会先看当天有什么蛋糕，再决定这次停留的长度。照片适合帮助认识店家的食物，不适合拿来保证当天一定有某种口味；坐下来再问，反而比较轻松。

在 Google Maps 打开 Indah House Kuching

店家列出的咖啡馆营业时间为每天早上8点至下午5点。单纯吃饭喝咖啡可直接到店，烹饪课则先安排好。我会把选择留得简单：一餐椰浆饭接着逛老街，或专门空出半天，从市场一路认识到餐桌。

A walk through Kuching’s old-town shophouses doesn’t have to end with another takeaway coffee. At Indah House Kuching on Upper China Street, I would make room for nasi lemak, then leave a little time for the art. This is a useful stop for someone who wants a proper meal and a reason to linger, rather than a café chosen only for its backdrop.

Google Map / Indah House Kuching

Indah began in 2014, when founder Trudy opened a small art-gallery café to give Sarawak’s artists somewhere to show and sell their work. Coffee and cakes came first. Meals followed as customers began asking for more, so the kitchen’s growth was tied to the people sitting at its tables, not simply a bigger menu on the wall.

That makes nasi lemak a good starting point. It keeps the visit rooted in a familiar Malaysian meal while the café’s in-house baking gives a coffee-only companion another way to join in. I would ask which nasi lemak options are available that day before ordering, especially when choosing between meat-free and other versions. Vegetarian and vegan options are part of the café’s offering, but an individual plate still needs checking if you avoid eggs or particular ingredients.

Google Map / Indah House Kuching

There is a more substantial food outing here too: Indah’s Sarawak cooking class begins with a visit to a local farmers’ market, followed by preparing five dishes and sharing the meal. I would treat that as a separate half-day booking, not something to squeeze into a quick lunch stop. For a short visit, a meal, coffee and a look at the local artwork is the simpler plan.

The cake side of the business hasn’t disappeared as the kitchen has expanded. If you have already eaten elsewhere in the old town, I would reverse the order: look at the day’s cakes first and make this the pause between walking stops. Flavours and availability are worth asking about rather than choosing solely from a photograph.

Indah House Kuching is at 38, 50 & 52 Upper China Street, 93000 Kuching, Sarawak.

The café lists daily hours of 8am–5pm. Walk in for the café; arrange the cooking class ahead. I would keep the two visits distinct: nasi lemak for an easy old-town meal, or the market-and-kitchen session when you want the food itself to fill the morning.

砂拉越第二家园计划今年首九个月的获批申请，带来1亿4350万令吉定期存款，另有149万令吉手续费。两笔数字性质不同：定存不是手续费收入，也不能直接当成游客在本地的消费额。

旅游、创意产业及表演艺术部长阿都卡林（Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah）公布的数据显示，1月至9月共批准287宗S-MM2H申请，涵盖来自31个国家及地区的490名参与者。申请宗数与参与人数，不能混成同一组人数统计。

中国占118宗获批申请，比率41.1%；其后依次为美国28宗、台湾19宗及英国18宗。这些是按申请宗数计算的来源分布，不代表490名参与者各自国籍的完整比例。

作为比较，2025年全年相关定存为1亿4690万令吉，手续费104万令吉。今年目前只统计九个月，尚不能据此写成全年定存已超越去年。

这份10月20日刊出的进展，交代的是长期居留计划的审批与资金数据，没有宣布申请条件改变，也没有提供参与者实际迁居古晋的人数。对关注本地长期居留市场的人而言，获批、存款与真正入住，仍须分别理解。

Sarawak approved 287 applications under its S-MM2H second-home programme from January to September 2026, covering 490 participants from 31 countries and territories. Applications and participants are separate counts, not interchangeable totals.

Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said approved applications had brought RM143.5 million in fixed deposits by September, alongside RM1.49 million in processing fees. The figures were reported on Oct 20. Fixed deposits are not the same as fee revenue or visitor spending, so adding them together would misrepresent the programme’s income.

The deposit figure compares with RM146.9 million for the whole of 2025, when processing fees totalled RM1.04 million. The current figures cover nine months rather than a completed year; they do not yet establish the final annual deposit total.

China accounted for 118 approved applications, or 41.1 per cent, followed by the United States with 28, Taiwan with 19 and the United Kingdom with 18. These are shares of applications, not a nationality breakdown of all 490 participants. The programme is intended to attract long-term residents to Sarawak. This update reports approvals and associated financial figures; it does not announce revised eligibility rules or show how many participants are already living in Kuching.

砂拉越马运会及残运会奖牌得主，将按同一套奖率获得奖励：金牌1万5000令吉、银牌5000令吉、铜牌3000令吉。发放时间预计在今年结束前，部长希望能在11月处理，但尚未敲定具体日期。

青年、体育及企业家发展部长阿都卡林（Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah）10月20日在州议会总结后向记者说明，奖率沿用砂拉越上次主办赛会时的标准，残运选手也获得同额待遇。

不过，团体赛须按另一套公式计算，破纪录选手还有额外奖励。因此，不能单凭金、银、铜奖率，就推算每一名团体赛成员的实领金额；这次说明也没有列出团体计算公式或破纪录奖金细节。整体奖励支出估计超过100万令吉。

砂拉越在8月15日至24日举行的2026年雪兰莪马运会，以41金、40银及62铜排名第四。这是马运会本身的成绩，并非马运与残运合并奖牌数。对等待领款的选手而言，目前明确的是奖率与年底前发放的预期，11月仍是争取中的时间，而不是已经公布的汇款日。

Sarawak’s Sukma and Para Sukma medallists are to receive the same incentive rates: RM15,000 for gold, RM5,000 for silver and RM3,000 for bronze. Payment is expected before the end of 2026, with November preferred rather than fixed.

Youth, Sport and Entrepreneur Development Minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah outlined the rates to reporters after his ministerial winding-up at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. He said the rates were unchanged from the previous Games hosted by Sarawak and confirmed that Para Sukma athletes would be treated equally.

Team events will use a separate calculation formula, while record-breakers will receive additional incentives. That means the headline medal rates should not be used to calculate every team member’s entitlement. The update did not provide the team formula or the amounts for records.

The total payout is estimated to exceed RM1 million. Sarawak finished fourth at Sukma Selangor 2026, held from Aug 15 to 24, with 41 gold, 40 silver and 62 bronze medals. Those results relate to Sukma; they are not a combined tally for Sukma and Para Sukma. Athletes awaiting payment now have the announced rates and an intended year-end timeframe, but not a confirmed November payment date.

砂拉越今年生猪出口收入达1亿5875万令吉，出口数量为10万9606头。食品产业、商品及区域发展部长史迪芬伦迪（Stephen Rundi Utom）10月20日在州议会交代产业进展时，也列出西连与实兰沟两项不同阶段的养殖发展。

靠近古晋消费市场的西连Ensengei现代养猪场，首期工程已于2025年完成，目前每月生产约700至800头肉猪。整个私人商业项目占地202公顷，投资额3亿8500万令吉，计划采用封闭式养殖系统，并设现代屠宰场，目标在2030年具备8万头猪的容量。

实兰沟则是另一项占地233公顷、投资2亿令吉的养猪区，预计2027年开始生产，2028年全面完成。首期已有产出与未来扩产目标，不能视为同一批现有供应。

部长也表示，Pasir Puteh养猪区维持每周约2500头生猪输往新加坡；自2025年起，砂拉越另每周供应约500头至雪兰莪。出口收入和养殖容量反映产业规模，但不足以推断古晋猪肉零售价会下跌。接下来判断本地供应的重点，仍是各场实际产量，以及新阶段能否按期投产。

The first phase of the modern pig farm at Ensengei in Serian is producing 700 to 800 pigs for market a month, while a separate RM200 million farming area in Selangau is expected to begin production in 2027.

Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development Minister Dr Stephen Rundi Utom gave the update at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. The distinction matters for Sarawak’s supply outlook: Serian has existing output, whereas Selangau’s production and full completion remain future milestones.

The privately operated Ensengei development covers 202 hectares and carries an investment value of RM385 million. Its first phase was completed in 2025. The wider project plans a closed-house system and a modern abattoir, with capacity for 80,000 pigs by 2030. Selangau’s separate 233-hectare development targets full completion in 2028.

Rundi reported RM158.75 million in export earnings from 109,606 live pigs in 2026. He also described shipments of about 2,500 pigs a week from Pasir Puteh to Singapore and an additional 500 a week to Selangor since 2025. These export figures do not establish a retail price or guarantee cheaper pork for Kuching households. The useful supply indicators are actual farm output and whether the next production phases start on schedule.

东北季候风来临前，砂拉越已物色679个临时疏散中心，并在三马拉汉中央储备库及木胶、加帛、美里和老越四个小型储备库，备好基本物资。

砂妇女、儿童与社区福祉发展部长法蒂玛（Fatimah Abdullah）10月20日在州议会汇报，福利局也已启动灾援行动室，加强省、县层面的准备工作。另有12个省县福利办事处及23个灾难前线基地，协助紧急时期运送援助。

这些属于2026／2027年东北季候风的应灾部署。中心已被列入准备名单，并不表示679处已经全部开放，或全州居民已接获疏散指示。

另一方面，持续干旱增加了清水供应需求。截至9月，砂灾难援助支出达2371万令吉，比原拨款多1010万令吉。部长汇报的受惠人数为49万9859人，涵盖旱灾、水灾、火灾、风灾及土崩受影响者；不能把这个累计援助数字当成目前住在疏散中心的人数。缺水社区的送水援助与雨季疏散物资准备，是当前同时推进的两项工作。

Sarawak has identified 679 temporary evacuation centres for the 2026/2027 Northeast Monsoon, while its welfare department has activated a disaster aid operations room to coordinate assistance.

Supplies have been stocked at the Samarahan Central Storage Depot and smaller depots in Mukah, Kapit, Miri and Lawas. The preparations also involve 12 divisional and district welfare offices and 23 disaster forward bases. Identifying centres is a readiness measure, not a notice that all 679 are open or that residents have been ordered to evacuate.

Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Minister Fatimah Abdullah outlined the arrangements at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly on Oct 20. She said disaster assistance spending had reached RM23.71 million as of September, RM10.1 million above the original allocation, because prolonged drought had increased demand for clean water.

The ministry reported assistance for 499,859 people affected by drought, floods, fires, storms and landslides. That is the coverage figure in the spending update, not a count of people currently in evacuation centres. For communities facing water shortages, clean-water deliveries remain part of the relief response; for the coming monsoon, the update describes the locations and logistics being readied for emergencies.

砂拉越农业局建议在山都望（Santubong）及Telaga Air一带的六个潜在地点，物色替代现有Samariang Batu内陆渔业中心的地点；最新汇报并未宣布最终选址。

食品产业、商品及区域发展部长史迪芬伦迪（Stephen Rundi Utom）10月20日在州议会表示，八条水系的调查共记录约80种鱼，包括六种Pangasius属鱼类，以及两种新辨识的鱼种。这里的新发现，不宜直接解读成已经完成学术命名、正式发表的全球新物种。

现有Samariang Batu中心占地150公顷。对古晋沿海社区而言，六个地点目前仍是建议选项，并不等于某一地区已确定承建，也不是新中心已经启用。

河流调查记录鱼类组成、分布、数量和栖地，目的是为原生鱼类保育与渔业管理建立基础资料。后续研究也涵盖遗传、亲鱼培育、鱼苗生产、幼体养殖及饲养技术；参与技术合作的单位包括登嘉楼马来西亚大学、FRI Glami Lemi及新加坡国立大学。经济利用与保护本土水产资源，是这项研究必须一并处理的方向。

Sarawak has recorded about 80 fish species across eight river systems, while six possible sites around Santubong and Telaga Air are being proposed for a replacement inland fisheries centre. No final relocation site was identified in the update.

Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development Minister Dr Stephen Rundi Utom told the State Legislative Assembly on Oct 20 that the surveys included six Pangasius species and two newly identified species. The work maps species, habitats, distribution and abundance, providing a baseline for conservation and decisions on native fish production. The report does not establish that the two finds have already been formally described as species new to science.

The proposed sites would replace the existing 150-hectare Samariang Batu Inland Fisheries Centre. For communities around the Kuching coast, this remains a site-selection proposal rather than an announcement that a new centre is open or that a particular locality has been chosen.

The research programme also covers genetics, broodstock and seed production, larval rearing and fish husbandry. Collaboration with Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, FRI Glami Lemi and the National University of Singapore is intended to strengthen technical capacity. The stated aim is to link fisheries development with protection of native aquatic resources, including terubok.
