A ROADSHOW was held by Radio Brunei through its Pilihan FM network yesterday at Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas in Bandar Seri Begawan.
The event was attended by Radio Television Brunei (RTB) Director Haji Muhammad Suffian bin Haji Bungsu, RTB staff and management, radio producers and presenters from all five radio networks of Radio Brunei, as well as members of the foreign Diplomatic Corps.
Present at the event were Richard Lindsay, the British High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam; Raymond Chow, Deputy High Commissioner of the Republic of Singapore to Brunei Darussalam; and Rafedah binti Abdul Aziz, Deputy Chief of Mission and Counsellor of the Malaysian High Commission in Brunei Darussalam.
The roadshow began with a welcoming speech by Tan Ka Wei, Acting Managing Director of TGT Sdn Bhd – one of the event partners. Other event partners were BMC Food Industries Sdn Bhd and Bahagia Distributors Sdn Bhd.
This was followed by opening remarks from Haji Muhammad Suffian.
“Year by year, we are getting closer towards achieving our goals for the Brunei Vision 2035. With that (reality) drawing ever closer, our responsibility increases in meeting our goals as a progressive Brunei. To support this vision, we need the close cooperation of the government, private sector and the public as a whole,” the director said, highlighting His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam’s New Year 2018 titah.
“Close cooperation will make it easy for businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive and make the nation more attractive to foreign investors. If such an environment can be maintained, then it is an asset to the nation.”
Haji Muhammad Suffian mentioned the network’s migration from analogue television to digital television transmission beginning January 1, and explained the technological change meant viewers can now enjoy high-quality pictures and clearer audio.
The event continued with a Tai-Chi warm-up session led by the Brunei Darussalam Wushu Federation, followed by a treasure hunt where participants combed a 3.5km route in the city centre, in search of answers to the clues provided to uncover ‘Biozip treasures’.
Prizes were presented by Haji Muhammad Suffian and Tan Ka Wei. The top three participants in the hunt each received hampers and vouchers, while the rest were rewarded with consolation prizes.
