BANK Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) recently held a media appreciation night to express its gratitude to the members of the press at the Royal Brunei Recreational Club in Berakas.

Members of the media were treated to a scrumptious barbeque buffet and participated in a cook off. The night started with a welcoming remark by the Managing Director of BIBD Javed Ahmad.

The event was a good opportunity for the management and staff of BIBD to get to know the media in Brunei in an informal outing and at the same time thank them for their continuous support.

The night was followed by a series of cooking games where members of the media had the opportunity to show off their culinary skills. Some of the dishes the media had to make were omelets, perfect three-quarter boiled eggs and ambuyat. They also had to show off their roti canai spinning skills, cake decorating and ‘teh tarik’ making skills.

A simple but symbolic flag-handing ceremony was held at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS) yesterday for Fauziah Haziz, who also goes by the name Ogy — as she flies the Brunei flag in the Sepang 1000km (S1K) endurance race to be held from Dec 1-3.

Datin Hjh Adina Othman, the Deputy Minister of MCYS was present to do the honours of handing the flag over to Fauziah, being the country’s sole representative in the three-woman team who will compete at the Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

“I’m proud of what she (Fauziah) will do. For the second time, Brunei will be part of an all girls team! It just shows that the females can perform in this sport,” said Datin Hjh Adina Othman.

The 26-year-old will be part of the Red Bull Rookies Racing Team 2011, together with Malaysia’s Puteri Ayu Jasmin and Emmiline Ang of Singapore. Fauziah will be replacing Noradzlianayati Abdul Razak and Meline Jaidin who represented Brunei last year.

The Sultanate’s sole representative for this year’s edition of the Red Bull Rookies Racing team will be driving behind the wheel of a 1,600cc Proton Satria Neo in Class 2, a lower class but with more action. Earlier in the month, she managed to improve on her fastest recorded time. She managed to complete the track in Sepang International Circuit in 3:00:5s.
