A few weeks ago, I was broken the news that my friend will be heading to Cambodia as a Brunei Ambassador. I didn’t know how to react but I’m quite proud that he was appointed to be one. His previous post was under Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT) and he was been working there for a very, very long time.

Last Monday, His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam yesterday presented Letters of Credence to three newly-appointed Brunei envoys, and received Letter of Credence from four foreign envoys to the Sultanate at the Istana Nurul Iman.

his Majesty presented Letters of Credence to Brunei Ambassador to Russia His Excellency HjHaini Hj Hashim, followed by Brunei Ambassador to Cambodia His Excellency Shaikh Hj Fadilah ShaikhHj Ahmad and Brunei Ambassador to Japan His Excellency Hj Mahamud Hj Ahmad.

According to a press statement by the Prime Minister’s Office, Ambassador of Brunei to Russia HE HjHaini, 51, previously served as Director of Protocol and Consular Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MoFAT).

Meanwhile, Ambassador of Brunei to Cambodia HE Shaikh Hj Fadilah, 47, previously served as Director of Politics I at the MoFAT.

Ambassador of Brunei to Japan HE Hj Mahamud, 53, previously served as Deputy Head of Mission at the Brunei Darussalam High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

His Majesty the Sultan and His Excellency Shaikh Hj Fadilah Shaikh Hj Ahmad. I wish you the best in your posting to Cambodia. I will definitely pay you a visit 🙂

There will be a Book Swap event at Fun Bee Park this Sunday 1st of July, 2012. It’s a follow-up to their previous Book Swap event at OGDC last March.

‪Activities during the event will range from a quiz show and a writing collaboration, as well as the book swap. For those who are more hands-on with their creative outlet, Fun Bee Park will be offering a 30 percent discount to book-swappers, where they have the chance to create book marks out of either clay, paper or batik, make top hats like the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, fashion bunny ears and more. The offer will only be available on that day

Check out Concepts Computer booth at CF10. Perhaps the most awaited item is the Acer Aspire Ultrabook S5 and it is dubbed the world’s thinnest ultrabook. With now consumers heading towards mobility, the weight, size and performance are very much important specs.

The S5 only weights 1.2 kg and it’s only 11mm thin. If you want high productivity, seamless connectivity and multi-use functionalities to juggle work and play, then the Acer Aspire Ultrabook S5 is for you.

The latest Ultrabook also has a Thunderbolt port which is 20 times faster than USB 2.0 which is good for transferring huge data. By the way, only a few units will be available as the stocks are pretty hard to get during the launch. The new stocks will be coming this Thursday or Friday and you will be able to get feel the experience of the S5 at Concepts Computer booth at Consumer Fair at BRIDEX this weekend.

The Acer Aspire Ultrabook S5 is coming soon!!!
