ABOUT 200 members of the Brunei Malay Teachers Association (PGGMB) from throughout the country attended the 66th PGGMB Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2015-2016 session yesterday at the Main Hall of PGGMB School in Kg Sungai Akar.
The 66th AGM was officiated by the guest of honour, Haji Harun bin Haji Junid, Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA), followed by the launching of a book titled ‘Kerana Mu PGGMB Saya Menulis’, written by Cikgu Haji Antin bin Ahad, the President of PGGMB. The book depicts the three eras of the historical formation and development of PGGMB since it was established in 1937 as an organisation for Malay teachers.
According to the deputy permanent secretary in his speech, the goal of PGGMB covers all aspects of life and remains relevant with current needs of today’s generation. PGGMB has successfully implemented and achieved its goals despite facing several challenges and obstacles, particularly in the field of economy, he said, and the most important is the ability of PGGMB to further continue its educational and community activities in accordance with current development.
He also added that since its establishment, PGGMB has provided high quality services on par with government and private educational institutions in the country. He also believed that PGGMB is still able to produce outstanding students despite the current level competition.
