RYS Entertainment organised a beach cleanup campaign at the stretch of beach along Silver Jubilee Park in Kuala Belait last Sunday in conjunction with KBku Ceria.
The effort was also supported by CIC Environmental Services Sdn Bhd, Brotherhood Seafood Paradise, and Brunei Oxygen Sdn Bhd (Brunox).
Some 114 people comprising several groups of members from numerous associations, agencies and companies joined in the cleanup effort.
RYS Entertainment General Manager Ampuan Nurul Atikah binti Ampuan Mumali briefed the participants on the campaign.
The beach cleanup campaign’s aim was to keep the beaches of Brunei clean while raising awareness on environmental issues plaguing marine animals.
By inspiring the public to take action in picking up rubbish and not littering in public, the campaign is also hoped to instil a mindset of keeping the environment clean.
Sunday’s cleanup is one of six beach cleanups planned by RYS Entertainment in the Belait District this year, with the first held earlier this January. The January effort saw over 70 bags (300kg) of rubbish collected.
Participants were with cleaning tools and refreshments by RYS Entertainment.
Volunteers collected more than 70 bags – roughly 569kg – of rubbish from the beach.
RYS Entertainment continuously looks for support from not only the public to participate in the beach cleanups, but also from local companies and organisations.
