Today His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam hosts the 2nd day of the 22nd ASEAN Summit meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office. All 10 regional leaders will have a series of meetings including His Majesty’s press conference for the local and foreign media. That should be an interesting segment to look forward to. Other meetings include the 9th Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines Eeast ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) Summit and the 7th Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Summit. The ASEAN Summit will concluded this afternoon with CIMT Establishment Agreemet Signing Ceremony.

This morning sesson began with a retreat session at the Prime Minister’s Office. The theme for this year’s ASEAN Summit is “Our People. Our Future Together”. More updates later on the outcomes of the meetings this morning and the afternoon sessions. So far, the programs are running smoothly and the working committee involved have been investing a lot of effort to make this event a memorable one.

I, for one, is very impressed with the new building of the Prime Minister’s Office. It’s so majestic and it’s honour to cover the ASEAN Summit and thank you for those who made this possible. You know who you are 😀

The event took place this morning at Muara Beach. Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and NZ who lost their lives during the wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. Today, it’s a remembrance for the 1945 Brunei-Australia Memorial.

Thanks Leonard and Jackie for the pictures 😀

 

Iron Man Beach Mat

 


Iron Man 3 Beach Mat from KFC

Good news to Ironman and KFC fans. Imagine watching the Ironman 3 movie while munching on the Colonel Burger or KFC fries. Thanks to a joint promotion between KFC and M Vision Cinemas this will come true from 26th April until 30th April 2013 at the Empire Cineplex.

Customers calling in to book or purchasing for the Ironman 3 movie tickets at the Empire Cineplex can also top up an additional B$7.50 for the “Colonel’s movie deal” in which they will get an Ironman 3 beach mat, a Colonel Burger and a promo fries. Customers can redeem their “Colonel’s movie deal” package on the day when they collect their movie tickets before their movie starts.

Previously a there was also a similar partnership between KFC and M Vision during the showing of the Transformer 3 “Dark Of The Moon” movie which many have enjoyed and both KFC and M Vision look towards a similar success.       

For bookings and more information about the Ironman 3 movie and the Colonel’s Movie Deal, customers can call the Empire Cineplex hotline at 241 7977. Interested customers for the Colonel’s movie deal package are advised to grab it soon, while stock lasts. 

 

ASEAN Summit: Behind the scenes

 

First of all, I’m just in awe of the majestic building of the Prime Minister’s Office. The previous location was near Kumbang Pasang and now it is located along Jalan Menteri Besar and you can even view the architecture of it from the road side. As you know the ASEAN Summit 2013 is being chaired by Brunei Darussalam and His Majesty the Sultan is the Chairman of this year’s meeting.

I was a bit a lost entering the building but that’s normally the case, right, when things are still new and foreign to you. I haven’t ventured to all the rooms at the Prime Minister’s Office but I shall make another visit when it’s much freer to explore since it’s tricky to see the rooms and areas of the PMO building.

Anyway just enjoy the pictures below and more of them soon. Thank you once again to PMO and Info Department for allowing me to do some coverage of the happenings of the current ASEAN Summit 2013.

Co-directors Munji Athirah and Jessica Nimmoo of the Fashion Show during Regent’s Arts Festival

On Tuesday, 16th April 2013, students from Regent’s University London finally saw the success of the Fashion Show after four months of preparations. The show was the grand finale to close the week long Regent’s Arts Festival aimed at celebrating students’ talents in the arts field.

The Fashion Show was the first and the biggest student run event as part of the Regent’s Arts Festival organised by co-directors: Munji Athirah, a Bruneian student studying in the University (and also a cousin of mine) and Jessica Nimmo alongside their team.

Among the pool of designers showcasing their collections at the show were two local designers: NaForrer and Enya Bijoux. Clothes from NaForrer were seen on a catwalk on models who are all students of the University. Other designers that took part in the Fashion Show included OnePiece that was made famous by celebrities such as One Direction, Farah Vintage, Thom LoveGrove, Amore Lore and designers from the London College of Fashion: TinkiLove, Braille and Jie Lang. As a finale, the fashion show presented the world’s most expensive dress as recognised by the Guinness World Record 2010.

Accessories from Enya Bijoux were displayed at the pop-up exhibition after the show and attracted the interest of guests who flocked the exhibition after the show.

The turnout at the event was overwhelming. The event welcomed over 500 guests and it received positive feedback from designers and attendees in general. The success of the first event is only an indication of what is to come from the University and its student body. Images below are courtesy of Regent’s College London

 

Tariff Regulation Framework for telcos

 


Hj Yahkup Hj Menudin, Chief Executive of AITI, witnessing the exchange of documents between Queh Ser Pheng, Deputy Chief Executive of AITI and Thomas Mehr, Managing Director of Detecon at AITI headquarters yesterday

I was trying to understand what the event was about yesterday as it was a signing agreement between AITI and a Consultant company from Germany on “Tariff Regulation Framework for the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Sectors” in Brunei Darussalam. Basically this framework, once created, will be a guidance for AITI and telcos for prices of let’s say calling rates or promotional rates set by local telcos such as b•mobile or DST.

As of now, there hasn’t been any proper framework or guidelines to what is considered a balanced pricing scheme for the benefit of consumers and also stakeholders. The new framework will also help expedite the process of approval should telcos want to adjust their prices or do promotional packages for consumers. Currently, all telcos will have to go through the approval process through AITI which takes a week or so. With the new framework, such approvals won’t necessary need to go through AITI should the prices or tariffs are still within the limit set by the framework.

Hence, AITI opened a tender seeking for Consultancy services to help create this tariff framework. AITI granted the tender to a German company Detecon for consultancy services to develop, implement and support implementation of a tariff regulation framework for the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors in Brunei Darussalam. The representatives of each telcos such as TelBru, b•mobile and DST were invited to attend the signing ceremony event and also to create awareness on the objectives of AITI to the stakeholders.

It was predicted that the first three phases conducted by Detecon will take a duration of roughly 6 months. We hope by then the objectives are met and the telcos will have proper guideline/framework which will also help to maintain fair market conduct and effective competition. AITI will play a role of monitoring and also balancing the commercial interests of market players against the larger public interest.

The contract signing was witnessed by Hj Yahkup bin Hj Menudin, Chief Executive of AITI. Signing on behalf of AITI was Awang Queh Ser Pheng and representing Detecon was Thomas Wehr. The project will be conducted in 4 phases which involves multi stakeholders’ engagement from telecommunications and broadcasting service providers, ICT industry players and government agencies. AITI seeks cooperation from all stakeholders to ensure that the project runs smoothly hence meeting the intended objectives.
