Awesome show… More of it soon. Verdict: 8/10

A sneak preview of what’s to come for the Spark

Close to 750 volunteers turned up for the Beach Bunch’s third consecutive clean-up in conjunction with Earth Day, despite the heavy rain last Sunday morning at Jerudong Beach.

More than one billion people participated in Earth Day globally, with people of all nationalities and from different backgrounds voicing their appreciation for the planet and demanding its protection. Brunei Darussalam was no exception. Present to support the event was Pehin Orang Kaya Indera Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Suyoi bin Haji Osman, the Minister of Development, and Village Head of Jerudong, Awang Haji Mohammad Rais bin Haji Ishak.

The volunteers were divided into groups and assigned to five different zones. Each zone was covered by approximately 100 volunteers, led by five Beach Bunch members and volunteers from Sultan Saiful Rijal Technical College (MTSSR). The rubbish collected in each zone was dropped off at the designated collection point. An estimated 80 per cent of the volunteers were from schools and clubs from all over Brunei, including STPRI, Maktab Duli, Telisai Tutong Primary School, Seri Mulia Sarjana School, Brunei Polytechnic School, Maktab Sains, MD Crescent Club, MTSSR, PTE Tutong, International School Brunei and Jerudong International School.

A total of four truckloads of waste were collected by the volunteers during the clean-up.

Malaysian artiste Zainal Abidin, who flew over from Kuala Lumpur to join Brunei’s efforts to save the environment, was also at the clean-up to show his full support and passion for the environment.

“Today is a very special day for me, and I came to Jerudong Beach with all the volunteers from Brunei because we are having a clean-up day,” the singer told the Bulletin.

“Today is Earth Day, and I feel that a small country like Brunei is an outstanding example for the whole world with volunteers ranging from the young to the old, from the corporate and government sectors, working together to clean-up Jerudong Beach, which is at the heart of their city. This is a good example. Way to go Brunei! Everybody else, let’s follow Brunei Darussalam,” added Zainal Abidin.

The Minister of Development Pehin Dato Awg Hj Suyoi was pleased by the turnout and hopeful for more events, such as yesterday’s clean-up by the Beach Bunch, to take place in the future.

“I’m very happy with the turnout, despite the rain. It shows how committed our people are to looking after the environment,” the minister told the Bulletin. “We need to do it (clean-up) from time to time, and not only that, but I hope that people will stop littering once we have cleaned up our beaches. Everyone has a role to play in helping to keep the environment clean. Today’s turnout is very encouraging and we hope we can have more clean-ups like this and we hope more people will turn up.

“We hope more schools will be involved. Seeing all the students participating in today’s clean-up is a good sign,” he remarked.

“We have done clean-ups elsewhere and we hope other beaches will be treated the same way. We see rubbish being thrown everywhere at all the beaches, so we hope an event like this will not only preserve our beaches, but help instil awareness among our people as well. That is the idea, and I thank the Beach Bunch for taking the initiative in this matter.” Text courtesy of Jake Ten of Borneo Bulletin.

Borneo Villas is an exciting and unique project undertaken in Sungai Liang. After its launch on 24th March 2012, the Borneo Villas has had an overwhelming response from the public with the complete booking of Phase One and partial booking of Phase Two. The Borneo Villas website, www.borneovillas.info, has also had over 50 000 views in the period of these three weeks.

Rumahku Real Estate is proud to announce that it will be opening Phase Two for bookings to investors and home-owners at a Borneo Villas Expo on the 28th and 29th April at the Empire hotel & Country Club from 10am to 7pm. This expo will present a great opportunity for people who reside in Bandar to take a look at the Borneo Villa as a future residence or investment.

For the potential home-owners, Borneo Villas is strategically positioned between Bandar Seri Begawan and Kuala Belait. Young executives will have a great chance to settle down in a home close to work and other amenities.

For the prospective investors, they can take advantage of the Oil & Gas industry. This industry is currently looking for a large number of properties within Mukim Liang which offer clean and safe environments to fulfill their employee housing requirements. A Borneo Villa will yield positive rental returns for these investors. The Borneo Villas project is one of the largest private developments in Mukim Liang, some 37 acres. This project has large freehold plots with high quality housing, as well as a very competitive pricing structure.

The coming expo at the Empire Hotel & Country Club offers the best opportunity to save thousands of dollars when purchasing a Borneo Villa. There will also be other great expo deals on offer over the weekend. In order to secure these great deals you will have to register yourselves with Rumahku on the day at expo. Rumahku Real Estate would like to take this time to say thank you to all the home-owners that have booked a Borneo Villa and to everybody that has been involved with this project. Thank you.
