With the full support of Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam Berhad (BIBD), Brunei’s first ever Marathon Des Sables (MDS) runners, Hamsul Sulaiman and Ahmad Fathi Junaidi, left today for their attempt to conquer the MDS, held in the Sahara Desert.

By strongly supporting the duo, BIBD, via its Corporate Social Responsibility, aspires to create and raise awareness on having a global community that cares, ultimately becoming an integral and strong partner of the community. This partnership is developed to encourage a positive influence and inspiration to the nation besides supporting both BIBD’s and CSR’s future initiative plans, which includes the Advocating Life-Long Learning for an Aspiring Future (ALAF) programme. The ALAF programme is specifically designed to provide educational progression for the underprivileged children through a systematic sponsorship scheme.

The MDS, touted as the toughest footrace on earth, held over seven days and six stages, where the participants in the Marathon des Sables will have to survive across 155 miles (250 km) equivalent to running 5 1/2 marathons. With them, carrying all their essential equipment such as gear, food, obey a laundry list of safety rules; sleep in communal tents and so on, as only water is rationed and handed out at each checkpoint.

Both Hamsul and Fathi hope that this high endurance expedition will inspire others to achieve their own personal milestones as they believe that with passion, determination and discipline, anything is possible. Press release from BIBD.

RA says First Brunei Problems. Or in hastag term #FirstBruneiProblems. I haven't been ranting or following up to the Ugly Truth for the past weeks or so. But now I feel the urge to do because this is the one of those days that I need to voice out my concern with my disagreement with the relevant authorities. Yesterday was the premiere or so called debut of the traffic light operation at the major roundabout at Kiulap. I did post my concern a month ago on my instagram and FB and I've predicted that this can be chaotic and many also gave feedback to the idea of traffic lights at the popular roundabout.

Yesterday was the first time I avoided the roundabout upon returning home. Well, that was only one out of four times yesterday alone *lol* My first attempt was noon time and it caught me by surprise because I wasn't aware of it until I was driving towards the roundabout from Beribi. Ok fine, there is a timer set for the green and EVEN for the red (so that gives you the chance to rev your car if you feel like it) but the timing sometimes doesn't offer much help either due to the short time duration for the green when coming from Beribi.. I believe it was only given 10 seconds or so and mind you, on peak hours, coming from Beribi can get quite a few even without traffic lights alone.

My second attempt was at 3:40pm and also attempting the same route, thinking that the traffic lights won't be operation since it's not peak hours. Believe or not, it was still on operation. But the great thing was it was a peak hour so exiting from Beribi was an easier task. My third attempt was almost midnight coming from highway (airport) but the lights were out so it was all good. Then again, I was the only car at that time *lol*

Now here's the tricky part... Traffic lights on two lanes was a tricky in the beginning but it was easier to educate because of the minor complexity when it comes to switch lanes. Now bring that concept to a 3-lane roundabout. This equates to CHAOS... Trust me... and I predicted this will happe this morning and it did. More on that later. I'm a third inner lane user when I'm heading for the 2nd or 3rd entry point. Now it's merely impossible to do so because of the momentum to switch lane from 3rd lane to the 2nd lane (middle one). I'm hardly a first laner unless the entry point is my next one. This is what's causing the jam and plus the time duration of the traffic light is not making it any better. I still believe if the timer was calibrate to its optimum, it won't be a successful task on a three-lane roundabout. I know that most 3rd lane users share the same sentiments as I do.

So Public Works Department (JKR), this is one serious matter that you have to look and put this on high priority because the pictures and the comments below are enough to open your eyes and see the real situation. Too bad P.A.R. won't be stating his points of view on Opinion Page or Letters to the Editor but the comments here I post is enough to justify that a traffic light at a 3-lane roundabout doesn't work.

Pictures below are screenshots from Instagram and also from Waze. Sorry peeps for using some of the screenshots :D

The traffic situation taken at 8am today. Screen shot from Waze.

Ok, here's the cause and effect of having traffic lights on a big roundabout.

1) The focal point (roundabout itself) is the nucleus of the other incoming routes (Kiulap, Ripas, Gadong, Beribi and Highway from airport). If that gets stuck even for 5 minutes, it will affect other routes. This has happened before because of a road accident inside the roundabout.

2) People are late for work. I saw one or two pictures of Instagram from my peers that their mates/colleagues are late because they are caught in traffic this morning.

3) There are even students dropping off at the Kiulap roundabout. My thinking would be because parents need to go to work after sending their children. So to cut time short and not entering the roundabout again, they are left with little choice but let their children off by the road. Not safe either.

4) Accident prone? Well, there was already one accident that I heard yesterday but I can't confirmed that but it was commented on my instagram. I remembered being stuck at the middle land of the roundabout while waiting for the green light. The cars behind me squeezed through just to head out of the exits. This would be mean that I have to be alert of the cars in front of me and the traffic light as well as the cars behind me too. This really means I have to be extra, extra present that I'm usually am.

5) The final effect I hope to see predict is "Just Turn Off the Lights", guys!! :D

I'm sorry for my huge rant on this issue but whoever the consultant was for this project, they didn't deliver the right formula.

For those who wants to give feedback, do email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and they welcome positive and negative feedback. For now, it seems there have been negative ones and I can't even seem to see a positive one for now. Even those who were positive about it might turn tables :) This is RA signing out.

Well, at least there's something to cheer up among the locals. As usual, whenever some hot issues pop up, people will start doing memes to crack a laugh or two. I'm still searching for catchy ones but below are some of the ones I found on social networks. I'm hoping for more later during the day.

For a start, it's good that the lights are finally switched off around 8ish or 9ish this morning after they have learnt that the congestion got worse instead of smooth sailing. It is now back to the drawing board and with more than a 1/4 of a million spent on this project, the pressure will be on the relevant agencies to come up with a better solution. They could have used policemen at the traffic light points to do trial run and see the impact and implications and work from there.

Below are also suggestions and feedback from my peers on IG and Facebook. And most of them aren't positive either. It's not too late to fix things but the $310,000 project might be money not well spent. I still believe even with the right timer for the indicators, it won't solve the problem because of the three-lane concept. A lesson learnt to the relevant parties involved especially the consultants. No hard feelings but this needs to be addressed. We are still grateful that the congestion is way better than our regional neighbours but we also need to think ahead too and not be complacent. I'm pretty sure MOD/JKR are on this matter as I blog and let's trust that they will solve this issue :))

The biggest irony in today's headline in The Brunei Times

Money well spent?

Desperate time comes with desperate measures..

It's happening soon this Sunday. Are you ready?? 6,000 of you that is :D

The clock is ticking and the anticipation is high. The first major run of the year is gonna take place soon in Brunei and I'm glad the Standard Chartered Bank (Brunei) is hosting the SCB Half-Marathon Brunei event. I've always love how they organised the marathon and the participation have always been great and the operations of the event have improved over the years.

I'll participating in the 10k run this time round. My previous long distance run was the "Walk, Run, Cycle" which was 12km. The 10K run will be a warm-up for my 21K attempt in May in Singapore (one of my bucket lists). I've been doing my regular short jogs around the vicinity of the National Stadium. Yesterday I saw an increase number of joggers and this is always the case a week before the event. Sometimes it doesn't make a difference but it's better than nothing for sure.

This time round the SCB Half-Marathon Brunei run kicks off at 5:30am for the half marathon runners. I believe this is the earliest flag off and this is also good news for runners. Currently with a very hot, humid climate in Brunei, the earlier the run, the better. I tried jogging from 7:30am and it was already tough. The 10K runners will flag off at 6:00am which is also an earlier start compared to last year. Thumbs up to SCB for making this allowance which will also make the prize presentation as early as 8:45am.

Good luck to all the runners and you can collect your Race Entry Pack at Indoor Stadium from 5th April (8am to 12pm, 2pm to 9pm) and 6th April (8am to 5pm). I cant wait :D

Another online buying portal will be unveiled this Friday and malppy.com will officially launched. According to the owner of Mapply, this portal will give you a real sense of real online shopping experience. Currently in Brunei, some online store vendors still deliver the products but cash on delivery rather than paying their items online through means of credit cards. Another feature is that you won't have to collect the goods you buy at the customs or the store; instead the products you ordered will be sent to your doorsteps.

Malppy.com has quite a wide range of clothes and apparels online with over 600 products. So far, they are only into these products as the other products such as electronics and gadgets are already saturated in the online scene in Brunei. Furthermore, the clothes (mostly for ladies) and apparels that they are bringing in are not common in Brunei.

The founder of Malppy.com is very particular about the qualities that are brought into Brunei. Each of the products will go through a process of quality control assessment to ensure that "what you see is what you get". This will avoid such defected goods delivered to the consumers.

The official opening will be on Friday and all is invited to Au Lait Cafe in the evening to witness the event. There will be refreshments served as well. The event begins at 6:30pm onwards.

For your info, Malppy.com is an online project founded by The Rumbian Nation and supported by Brunei Economic Development Board LEAP Grant initiative. Congratulations on the online shopping portal. All the best!!

$9K raised by Family Power

 

A total of $9K was raised and it surpassed the previous donation of $8K two years ago

Datin Paduka Hjh Adina was very proud of Cecilia Lee's drive for such event and also her initiative to carry out the charity event. The last time Cecilia held a charity event was back at IA Salon and they managed to raise at least $8,000 and this time round a total of $9,000 was raised from the "Family Power" charity drive.

The "Family Power" event was co-organised by Fun Bee Park, IA Salon and Dreamz CT Sdn Bhd and their purpose is to raise funds for the National Association of the Hearing Impaired (OKP). Datin Paduka Hjh Adina, the Deputy Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, was the guest of honour. The chairperson of the event was Cecilia Lee. Also present was the OKP President Hj Abdul Hakim.

At the beginning of the event, the Zumba Fitness FuHReaKZ conducted a Zumba session and they managed to raise some funds too. The Top 10 finalists of Stardom Quest made their appearance and they helped out the children during the workshops. The donations were collected through proceeds of the sales from the respective booths.

There was also presence from the Brunei Lady Bikers organisation and they have been quite supportive for any cause initiated by Cecilia Lee. So it was good to see their involvement once again.

There was also a mini art exhibition showcased by 13-year old autistic Merrick Chin who drew numerous paintings and some of them were for sale during the event. Datin Hjh Adina was quite impressed by his work and she was honoured as well to receive a painting from Merrick and Datin even bought two of Merrick's painting. For the record, all of Merrick's paintings were sold, 28 of them (big and small pieces).

So it was good to know that $9,000 was raised in a space of 7 hours and it was good to see the public support from it too. Well done to the organisers and keep up the great work!!

Adi Said missed a sitter which could have put the result beyond doubt. DPMM FC beat Woodlands Wellington 1-0 last night at Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium

I wasn't impressed with the performance but in the end of the day, it's the 3 three points that matters. After a few weeks of hiatus, DPMM FC came back with a much needed win to stay in pace in the top 5. Currently DPMM FC lies in 5th place while league leaders Tampines Rovers FC are 10 points ahead of DPMM FC. Tampines Rovers are the only team that is undefeated and have a 100% record in the S•League.

DPMM FC will have another chance in closing the gap this Wednesday when they host Geylang International FC who have a 2-0-4 record so far in the tournament. A win will put DPMM FC back in contention for the title and let's hope DPMM FC improve their performance after last night's mediocre performance.

DPMM FC's import player Joao scored the only goal of the game in the first half. The host failed to convert chances upfront and it was a tough night for DPMM FC's top scorer Shahrazen. His brother Adi Said was brought in to replace Bosjnak the Croatian striker who recovered from a recent surgery. Adi had a glorious chance when he was left unmarked but his close range header was off the mark. It could have buried the game and it was good thing DPMM FC managed to close in for the win.

The good points though was the inclusion of Santos the Brazilian defender who is backed in the bench. It's good to see him back after recovering from an injury. Last night was his first game of the season though he only had a few minutes of playing time. Azwan Ali Rahman was also featured in the bench as he was recently signed from Indera Sporting Club (SC). There was some minor controversial to his inclusion to DPMM FC where his former club earlier denied the speculation of Azwan's future to the club. We have yet to see him play in S•League matches and he will definitely bring some firepower upfront.

Do come to the stadium again this Wednesday to see DPMM FC take on Geylang International FC.
