Attractive fares from the upcoming 7th Belait Travel Fair this weekend. It is organised by Royal Brunei Airlines and Abacus Brunei which will take place at the Oil & Gas Discovery Centre, Seria. So what’s the catch with the travel fair there? You can enjoy great prices during the two-day fair.

You can also stand a chance to win business class return tickets to Melbourne, Shanghai and Manila. So what are some of the attractive fares that will be available during the fair?

The rates are not inclusive during holiday periods (March and June) if I’m not mistaken.

The Minister of Culture, Youth & Sports, YB Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Laila Diraja Dato Seri Setia Awang Hj Hazair bin Hj Abdullah, last night officiated the launch of the 2nd Brunei Bike Week at Jerudong Park Playground.

The 2nd Brunei Bike Week marked another milestone for Independent Motorcycle Club in hosting another biking festival in the region, which also attracted participants from abroad including Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

Among the main highlights of the event was the minister having a feel of the limited edition ‘Nucleus Sunburst’ coloured Arlen Ness Victory Vision Tour model, Victory’s signature bike. Only 150 models of this limited edition bike will ever be made, and there is currently only one in Asia.

One of the key features of this limited edition bike is that it is powered by a Freedom V-Twin 106 (cubic inches) engine.

Earlier this year, the Independent Motorcycle Club established its global position with the opening of a new chapter in Dubai. A number of riders from the Brunei Darussalam Chapter also participated in a joyride in the Middle East.

Various associations including PEMODA, Harley Owners Group, Kembara and Kelab Motorsikal Kekal Daerah Tutong are also taking part in the festival. To enliven the event, students from Sayyidina Othman Secondary School put on a cultural performance. There was also a special performance to honour the late Michael Jackson.

It was indeed a memorable night for Jimmy, an avid local biker, after he won himself a brand new Yamaha Mio Fino after his ticket was picked from a lucky draw. The bike was sponsored by BM Supply.

Awang Shah bin Alias and Ahmad Mahmud, both from the Singapore Chapter of the Independent Motorcycle Club, told the Weekend Bulletin that taking part in such a festival was all about celebrating brotherhood.

“Although we came here without our bikes … our ‘brothers’ here in Brunei were more than willing to lend us their bikes,” they said, adding that this was Singapore’s second. time participating in the Brunei Bike Week. The Brunei Bike Week ends tomorrow (Sunday). Text by Aziz Idris of Borneo Bulletin.
