i am from kuching, Tun Haji Openg if i m not mistaken is at Merdeka palace hotel, i think it would be about 30 mins drive. Have your bought your tickets?

taxi downtown is quite easy to find.. i think it'll be safer if u try before hand.. you dont wanna go to the stadium and find that tickets are sold out. since you're staying at merdeka palace, u can go to either sarawak plaza or parkson.. go to the lea sports centre to get tickets.. it's quite close from merdeka palace so it should be ok to walk if you dont mind the heat..
