A Bako National Park day tour costs RM360 to RM520 per person, Semenggoh orangutans RM160 to RM250, and a sunset river cruise RM70 at the jetty. Doing Bako yourself by bus and boat costs a Malaysian about RM75, and most join-in Bako tours pause from November.
Harvey Norman Sarawak WOW Sale (Kuching, Miri, Bintulu) Ended 14 October: What the Poster Deals Cost Now
Harvey Norman's Sarawak WOW Sale runs 8 to 14 October 2026 at Vivacity Megamall Kuching, Miri Times Square and The Spring Bintulu. We checked all 300 listed items and the 12 store posters: the posters undercut the website by up to RM1,680 on mattresses, phones and a printer, so price your list in store. Rechecked 17 October: the sale has ended and the same products now sit under the nationwide Big Upgrades, Bigger Savings sale (12 Oct to 4 Nov), where the Honor X9d is cheaper than before but the printer and mattress deals are gone. Rechecked again 21 October: no new Sarawak-only sale, most prices unchanged, and the Galaxy S25 FE and 1.8m Bayliss table are no longer listed online.

We read the court rates of Kuching's badminton halls on their own booking systems and listings on 3 October 2026.

Only one hotel still sells a regular weekend dinner buffet (Hilton, RM238 nett); everyone else has moved to weekend hi-tea, from RM75 plus charges at Grand Margherita to RM138 nett at Hilton. Prices, hours, child rates and what is actually running.

Since 28 September 2026, Decathlon products are sold at every Emart Supermarket in Sarawak (not Emart Express or Goceli), with the full range at Emart King Centre, Kuching, and Emart Taman Berlian, Kota Samarahan. The opening backpack offer is over. The next Decathlon discount is the online Payday window, 24-31 October: RM10 off RM180 up to RM60 off RM850. Shipping to Sarawak costs RM25 under RM300, so small baskets are cheaper at the Emart counter.
Emart PWP in October 2026: September's RM120 List Has Ended, This Weekend's Two Lists (2–4 Oct) Now Include Sabah
Emart's 18-item September PWP poster ended on 30 September 2026. An October monthly poster (1 to 31 October, 18 items) was added on 5 October; this page covers the weekend-flyer lists that run alongside it. The RM120 Purchase With Purchase is a standing member perk, so it carries on in the weekend flyers. For 2 to 4 October there are two lists. Kuching, Samarahan, Miri and Bintulu get six items from RM4.99 to RM32.99. Emart Lintas Jaya in Sabah, excluded in September, gets its own six, from Maggi curry at RM2.99 to Seri Murni 5kg oil at RM27.99. We read every flyer on 2 October and checked the PWP prices against Emart's own member prices.

Kuching Attraction Prices 2026: Sarawakians Pay Half at the Museum, the Same as KL Visitors at Every Park, and RM1 at Wind Cave
We read the official rate for eight Kuching attractions on 14 September 2026. A Sarawakian adult pays RM10 at Borneo Cultures Museum against RM20 for other Malaysians and RM50 for foreigners, but gets no local rate at any state park. Jong's Crocodile Farm raised its MyKad adult ticket to RM30 in June, and Semenggoh closes to visitors from 10am to 2pm.
7 Interior Design and Renovation Firms in Kuching 2026: What the CIDB Register Says, and the Portfolio That Is AI Art
Kuching's renovation market is easy to search and hard to verify, so we checked every firm against Malaysia's contractor register on 12 September 2026. A CIDB grade caps the contract you can legally take, from RM200,000 at G1 to no limit at G7, and only one firm here holds B07, the code CIDB actually uses for interior decoration. Two firms listed by the top-ranking Kuching renovation directory have dead domains, one links to a signboard maker, and one studio's showcase images are AI generated, garbled wall text and all.
Padini The Spring Kuching Clearance Still Open on Day 42: From RM9, No End Date
Padini Concept Store at The Spring Kuching began a renovation clearance on 10 September 2026 with stock from RM9, and it is still trading in late October. Re-checked on Tuesday 21 October 2026, day 42: Google shows the store open until 10pm with no "temporarily closed" flag, Padini's redesigned store page still lists it, and there is still no end date or reopening date. The poster's fine print is the whole rulebook: The Spring Kuching only, no reservation, no refund, while stocks last. Online, RM9 is no longer store-only, but padini.com's seven RM9 items are all Vincci MagSafe phone accessories and PDI girls' socks; its cheapest clothing is RM19, and East Malaysian orders ship free only from RM150.
POPULAR Bookstores October 2026 Promotions: Good Reads, Great Value Member Prices to 11 Oct, October WOW! Deals and Three Bookfairs (Super Holiday Has Ended)
POPULAR's Super Holiday Promotion ended on 16 September 2026, and every September offer that replaced it has gone too. We read every live POPULAR artwork on 5 October 2026. The national campaign now is Good Reads, Great Value, 25 September to 11 October at all POPULAR and HARRIS bookstores, and it brings back the member price column: eleven lines we priced come to RM348.30 for everyone and RM312.70 for members, so a RM12 one-year card pays for itself on the books alone. October's WOW! panel prices five stationery lines at RM81.70 against RM165.80 usual, to 31 October, in store and on POPULAR ONLINE. Books of the Month runs to 30 November. The bookfairs are in Kota Kinabalu (1Borneo, to 14 October), Ampang (Ampang Point, 5 to 18 October) and Kuching (Emart Tabuan Jaya, to 1 November). The voucher worth keeping is Main Place Mall's RM5, valid at the Main Place bookstore until 22 October.
Everrise 33rd Anniversary RM100,000 Contest, 4 September to 31 December 2026: RM100 in One Receipt Enters You
Everrise's 33rd Anniversary flyers of 3 and 4 September carried a gold star reading "THE MORE YOU SPEND, THE MORE YOU WIN WORTH RM100,000" with no mechanic printed anywhere, and this article first read it as a supplier campaign. Everrise has since printed the rules on its 5 and 6 September sheets, and the contest is its own: 4 September to 31 December 2026, at all outlets, members who spend RM100 in a single receipt storewide, for a grand prize of RM10,000 cash, a first prize of RM5,000 cash and two Disney Cruise special prizes. QL Eggs' Beli & Menang Telur Emas, 1 August to 30 September 2026 on a minimum RM15 of QL products, is a separate contest on the same paper. The three-day members' price list ran 4 to 6 September at 19 of Everrise's 21 stores, and the four regional sheets do not agree with each other: PediaSure 1650g is RM204.99 in Kuching and RM194.99 in Miri and Bintulu. A separate one-day Members' Best Value sheet then ran on 6 September at 8 of the 14 Kuching stores and beat the anniversary sheet in the same shop on several lines.
Car Rental in Kuching 2026: The RM90 Headline, the RM5,000 Excess, and the Ring Around the City You Cannot Drive Out Of
Kuching is one of the cheapest places in Malaysia to rent a car and one of the easiest places to misread the bill. Eight operators publish daily rates and the cheapest headline is RM75 a day, but the daily rate is the smallest number in the contract. Two bigger ones sit underneath it. The first is the damage excess: Alpha and Wagons both print an accident liability of RM5,000 on a compact car and RM13,000 to RM14,000 on a van or a luxury MPV, and buying it down costs RM40 to RM150 a day and only halves it. The second is geography. A Kuching rental car is contractually confined to a ring covering Kuching town, Kota Samarahan, Bau, Lundu, Sematan and Serian, and driving past it to Sibu costs RM300, to Miri RM600 and to Limbang or Lawas RM1,000, with a RM500 penalty at one operator for going without asking. We read all eight rate cards and every published set of terms this run.
Everrise Members' Weekend Sarawak, 28-31 August 2026 (Ended): Kuching, Miri and Bintulu Prices, and the Weekly Sheet That Replaced It
**Ended 31 August 2026.** Everrise now runs a Members' Weekend every Friday to Sunday and a Members' Weekday every Tuesday to Thursday, and its RM100-per-receipt anniversary contest runs to 31 December. The August record follows. Everrise posted four Members' Weekend flyers on 27 August 2026, and three of them are Sarawak. Kuching gets 14 stores, Miri gets three and Bintulu gets one, all running Friday 28 to Sunday 30 August. Every price on those sheets is member-only, and since April 2026 "member" means you open the Grab app at the till. Here is what the Sarawak flyers actually cost, where Kuching, Miri and Bintulu disagree, the two outlets that are not in it at all, the three side campaigns riding on the same paper -- and, added on 29 August, the three further flyers Everrise posted on 28 August, including a Bintulu government Rahmah Madani sale that undercuts the members-only price on five lines. Updated 31 August: the weekend is over, and a one-day Merdeka Flash Sale has replaced it at only 11 of the 18 stores.
