A MALAY Islamic Monarchy (MIB) corner has been set up at the Brunei Studies Collection of Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) to provide a user-friendly facility for students, researchers and members of the public conducting a detailed study of the MIB concept.
The corner was assembled by five final-year students at the Academy of Brunei Studies (APB), with the support of the UBD Library and the Secretariat Office of the MIB Supreme Council.
The students were supervised by APB Lecturer Pengiran Dr Khairul Rijal bin Pengiran Haji Abdul Rahim.
A launching ceremony took place on the third floor of the Brunei Studies Collection yesterday, seeing Legislative Council member YB Pehin Orang Kaya Pendikar Alam Dato Paduka Seri Haji Hasrin bin Dato Paduka Haji Sabtu attending as the guest of honour.
Project Chairman Mohammad Fadzli bin Hussin explained that the MIB Corner was in accordance with the strategic action plans of the Secretariat Office of the MIB Supreme Council.
“The corner has a collection of MIB-related titles, and we hope that there will be yet more from other sources,” he added.
Among the collection are two recently published books – ‘Melayu Islam Beraja Dalam Sistem Pendidikan Negara Abad 21’, written by Minister of Home Affairs Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Kerna Dato Seri Setia (Dr) Haji Awang Abu Bakar bin Haji Apong, and ‘Calak Bangsa: Brunei Kekal Sebagai Negara Melayu Islam Beraja Kerana Brunei Tetap Mengekalkan Peganganya Yang Kuat Kepada Ajaran Islam’ by Minister of Religious Affairs Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Haji Awang Badaruddin bin Pengarah Dato Paduka Haji Awang Othman.
