A total of $9K was raised and it surpassed the previous donation of $8K two years ago

Datin Paduka Hjh Adina was very proud of Cecilia Lee’s drive for such event and also her initiative to carry out the charity event. The last time Cecilia held a charity event was back at IA Salon and they managed to raise at least $8,000 and this time round a total of $9,000 was raised from the “Family Power” charity drive.

The “Family Power” event was co-organised by Fun Bee Park, IA Salon and Dreamz CT Sdn Bhd and their purpose is to raise funds for the National Association of the Hearing Impaired (OKP). Datin Paduka Hjh Adina, the Deputy Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, was the guest of honour. The chairperson of the event was Cecilia Lee. Also present was the OKP President Hj Abdul Hakim.

At the beginning of the event, the Zumba Fitness FuHReaKZ conducted a Zumba session and they managed to raise some funds too. The Top 10 finalists of Stardom Quest made their appearance and they helped out the children during the workshops. The donations were collected through proceeds of the sales from the respective booths.

There was also presence from the Brunei Lady Bikers organisation and they have been quite supportive for any cause initiated by Cecilia Lee. So it was good to see their involvement once again.

There was also a mini art exhibition showcased by 13-year old autistic Merrick Chin who drew numerous paintings and some of them were for sale during the event. Datin Hjh Adina was quite impressed by his work and she was honoured as well to receive a painting from Merrick and Datin even bought two of Merrick’s painting. For the record, all of Merrick’s paintings were sold, 28 of them (big and small pieces).

So it was good to know that $9,000 was raised in a space of 7 hours and it was good to see the public support from it too. Well done to the organisers and keep up the great work!!

Adi Said missed a sitter which could have put the result beyond doubt. DPMM FC beat Woodlands Wellington 1-0 last night at Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium

I wasn’t impressed with the performance but in the end of the day, it’s the 3 three points that matters. After a few weeks of hiatus, DPMM FC came back with a much needed win to stay in pace in the top 5. Currently DPMM FC lies in 5th place while league leaders Tampines Rovers FC are 10 points ahead of DPMM FC. Tampines Rovers are the only team that is undefeated and have a 100% record in the S•League.

DPMM FC will have another chance in closing the gap this Wednesday when they host Geylang International FC who have a 2-0-4 record so far in the tournament. A win will put DPMM FC back in contention for the title and let’s hope DPMM FC improve their performance after last night’s mediocre performance.

DPMM FC’s import player Joao scored the only goal of the game in the first half. The host failed to convert chances upfront and it was a tough night for DPMM FC’s top scorer Shahrazen. His brother Adi Said was brought in to replace Bosjnak the Croatian striker who recovered from a recent surgery. Adi had a glorious chance when he was left unmarked but his close range header was off the mark. It could have buried the game and it was good thing DPMM FC managed to close in for the win.

The good points though was the inclusion of Santos the Brazilian defender who is backed in the bench. It’s good to see him back after recovering from an injury. Last night was his first game of the season though he only had a few minutes of playing time. Azwan Ali Rahman was also featured in the bench as he was recently signed from Indera Sporting Club (SC). There was some minor controversial to his inclusion to DPMM FC where his former club earlier denied the speculation of Azwan’s future to the club. We have yet to see him play in S•League matches and he will definitely bring some firepower upfront.

Do come to the stadium again this Wednesday to see DPMM FC take on Geylang International FC.

Another tireless effort from DPMM FC’s captain

Congratulations to Rafhanah Salleh and Wadud Mahrub on their engagement yesterday. Fana has been one of my closest friends and I’m happy to see another chapter in her life. Darn, you are now ahead of me…
