Burn Baby Burn~~

Designed by @kurapak, the t-shirt was just announced last evening and the bookings were gone within an hour

This was by initiative which I proposed to HSBC CSR team in order to create more funds for charity for the upcoming WalkRunCycle event which is happening next weekend *can’t wait* And I thought of releasing a special limited edition #walkruncycle2012 for my followers and the prints are very, very limited with a price tag of $50. All the orders were snapped up within an hour or so and I will like to thank them for the support.

Yes, I’ve heard people have been calling HSBC branches for the t-shirts but the point of contact is through me and not HSBC. Since the responses have been good, there will be another limited edition design which will be unveiled soon (hopefully this weekend) for those interested. The design won’t be the same as the one above but there will be an element of glow-in-the-dark if I’m not mistaken.

So do stay tune to my updates through my blog, instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Thank you to all those who contributed for the limited edition t-shirts. With 10,000 people participating, it is quite an honour to have you guys as one of the few :))

Minister of Development attended the 13th Sub-Regional Ministerial Steering Committee (MSC) Meeting on Transboundary Haze Pollution. Image courtesy of The Brunei Times.

I’m never a big fan of open burning because of its implication and the negative impacts they have on our environment. I read yesterday’s paper where it talked about more stringent enforcement (punishment) on “big companies” that conduct open burnings during the Second Ministerial Steering Committee (MSC) Forum on Transboundary Haze (click here).

I guess the awareness is very weak here in Brunei and there’s not much publicity that has been done to get into the mindset of the public. Yes, I’m aware of JASTRE’s involvement (from the Ministry of Development) in this issue of open buring. I remember reading their brochures too a few years ago but this is something that needs to be educated from time to time.

Why I’m saying this is because it is still happening in Brunei. I posted a picture on my instagram, Facebook and Twitter of an open burning scene and this was taken on Monday late afternoon. The ironic part was that the burning took place in the compound of a Police station home quarters. So i guess we shouldn’t also be wary of big companies but also the government agencies too as shown in this picture. Well, I don’t know if Royal Brunei Police Force fall in the category of government agencies but you get the picture.

So I hope action can be taken on this issue as this is not a good example to be shown to the public that “open burning” is a no-no. Let’s hope I don’t get to trouble for this post *haha* but then again, I’m doing this for a good cause as a citizen. So you guys want a haze free environment? Do more enforcement before this becomes a norm.

This was taken inside the compound one of the Police home quarters last Monday. Open Burning is still happening in Brunei and also at government own places
