hehe i m 30 already admit it alwayzzzzzzzzzzzz fail subject in LOVE and RELATIONSHIP its not easy for me to understand someone uncle payah.
Being single at 30 doesn't mean you have failed in LOVE n RELATIONSHIP. Who says that being married at 30 means that you are successful in life? Of course we have seen so many people who look so happy when they are married. But are we seeing the real thing! Getting married is not a simple matter. There will be lots of committments and sacrifices especially when you have children. Maybe being single at 30 or older is a blessing in disguise. Most importnat is, whether you are married or single, that you are happy. If you are fated not to get married, so be it. You just make full use of your life. Just remember, not everything you see is really as rosy as it looks. There are things that you don't always see. For now just be thankful that you have your family and friends around you. |

HRH Prince Mohamed Bolkiah shakes
hands with Pakistan's President
General Pervez Musharaf
Foreign Ministers Vow To Uplift The Needy
By P Marilyn
Bandar Seri Begawan - His Royal Highness Prince Mohamed Bolkiah, Brunei Darussalam's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Wednesday night attended a dinner hosted by the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Shaukat Aziz.
His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Zariah left Pakistan yesterday morning after attending the 34u Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers (ICFM). Meanwhile, in the Islamabad Declaration issued after foreign ministers from Islamic nations met over three days in this Pakistani capital, the ministers vowed to continue OIC support for minority Muslim community in non-Muslim societies, Bemama reported. On the economic front, which is gaining importance within OIC, the ministers agreed to pursue socio-economic development in Islamic countries through poverty eradication programmes, as well as increasing and promoting investments.
The ICFM also welcomed the setting up of a RMIO billion fund by the OIC to alleviate poverty in member states.
The Palestinians' plight did not feature prominently. Over the weekend more than 40 people were killed in the turbulent Palestine after tensions flared between two rival factions - the Hamas and Fatah - but only a six-line paragraph touched on the half-a-century old West Asian crisis, sounding more like rhetoric. In a nutshell, the document said it supported the creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with Al Quds as its capital and called forthe implementation of the UN Security Council resolutions.
Nearly all the 57-member states of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) attended the 34th Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers (ICFM) but only Namibia expressed reservations on the document.
"The Palestinian issue is so crucial to the Muslim world and this (declaration) is not enough. It is not consistent with what is happening now in Palestine," it said. "The OIC should appoint a ministerial committee to visit Palestine," said a Namibian delegate.
The declaration also did not say much on Iraq except calling for restoration of peace and stability in the wartorn oil-rich nation.
On Islam phobia the foreign ministers, while condemning the growing trend and systematic discrimination against adherents of Islam, called the international community to stop incitement and hatred against Muslims. Uganda will host the next ICFM. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin |

Brunei Sets Guidelines On Vegetable Imports
By MK Anwar
Bandar Seri Begawan - New and tougher regulations on the importation of Malaysian vegetables and fruits have been agreed at a meeting between officials from Brunei and Sabah and Sarawak.
The Star yesterday reported that the meeting was held in Miri on the joint surveillance of agricultural product movements from Sabah and Sarawak into Brunei.
Following the meeting, it was agreed that there should be a standard quality for all vegetables and fruits, as well as the packaging and labelling of Malaysian goods that are imported to Brunei.
It was also agreed that all vegetables and fruits coming into from Malaysia must have an export declaration document.
A limit on the amount of vegetables and fruits will be imposed for individuals wishing to bring them in. Each person will be limited to five items with a maximum weight of 30kg. Brunei was represented by the Assistant Director of Agriculture Department, Dr Debiding Hj Dullah, at the two-day meeting.
The new policies, said Dr Debiding, was to ensure that high quality products are traded between the two countries. Meanwhile, Hj Rusali bin Hj Safar, the Head of International at the Brunei Agriculture Department, in a phone interview said the importing procedures are already in place since May 2005. He said that these procedures are being monitored and enforced by the Royal Customs and Excise Department and also the Agriculture Department.
Hj Rusali added that the meeting in Miri was to basically fine-tune these procedures and other technicalities that have arisen.
Brunei is nearly 60 per cent self-sufficient in vegetable production and 20 per cent in fruits. Atotal of 9,500 tonnes of vegetables and 3,700 tonnes of fruits were produced locally last year.
To ensure adequate supply in the local market, about 6,500 tonnes of vegetables and fruits were imported last year. Bernama reported that about half of this came from Sabah and Sarawak alone.
Representatives of the Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (Fama) and the agriculture departments of Sabah and Sarawak agreed that guidelines be drawn up to govern the export of vegetables and fruits from the two states to Brunei, which amounts to some RM5 million annually.
Fama national director of control Mazlan Shamsuddin said Brunei wanted the new conditions to have more stringent controls at all entry points into the Sultanate.
"We (Malaysia and Brunei) have agreed to compile guidelines on these conditions and requirements that both exporters and importers can strictly adhere to," he was quoted by The Star as saying. Meanwhile, in an effort to alleviate the current egg shortage in the country, some 500,000 eggs have been imported into the country from Sarawak. Bernama quoted Dr Debeding as saying that more consignments of eggs will arrive in the next few days.
Brunei has been experiencing a shortage of eggs, which has resulted in an increase in the prices of eggs nationwide.
Permits have been issued recently for local companies to export some 900,000 eggs into the country.
Recently, the Department of Agriculture said they hoped with the import of eggs, the supply in the local market would stabilise again.
The country reached self-sufficiency in egg production in 1994 but the latest shortage has been attributed to technical problems faced by local egg producers at the moment. " According to official figures, the country consumed about 119 million eggs in 2006.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin |

Malaysia Ready To Help Brunei In IT
By Abdul Latif Abu Bakar in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur - The Malaysian Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) is ready to provide assistance to Brunei Darussalam and other neighbouring countries in developing the Information Technology sector that could be beneficial to all.
Chief Executive Officer MDeC, Dato Badlisham Ghazali, said the MDeC is ready to share its experience with neighbouring countries including Brunei based on the Malaysian experience in developing its Multimedia Super Corridor for 10 years now. MDeC is a body set up specially for developing the MSC by attracting investments from ICT industries inside and outside the country.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with Brunei and Middle East journalists last night, he said that Malaysia could become a place of reference for neighbouring countries as they all share a lot of similarities in terms of history, geography and culture.
With regards to Malaysia's readiness to share its know-how with others, he cited the example of Malaysia hosting the Smart School Development Conference. He added that a smart school is not only about preparing the equipment needed for information technology infrastructure as many rich countries can afford to do that but more importantly to fulfill the school's development requirements.
Dato Badlisham cited the example of Brunei's aspiration in developing the Smart School, which can be implemented more successfully through the sharing of information and expertise in information technology.
He also gave another example where Brunei has already issued the Smart Identity Card, which is also implemented by Malaysia.
The Malaysian Identity Card known as MyKad already has multiple uses. Apart from being an identity card, it functions as a driving licence, medical record data, a debit card and also as a means of obtaining agricultural assistance to farmers outside town. He said Malaysia's experience in developing and issuing MyKad will be shared with around 40 countries in a conference on smart identity cards coming November. The Brunei and Middle East journalists are in Malaysia at the invitation of MDeC to cover the 10' International Malaysian MSC Panel of Advisers Meeting.
Dato Badlisham said the new approach of BDeC has the potential to give economic benefits to Malaysian companies who are involved in the development of ICT sector in neighbouring countries such as Brunei Darussalam.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin |

PNS Moawin
Pakistan Navy Ship On Goodwill Visit
By Azrol Azmi
Bandar Seri Begawan - A Pakistan navy ship will be berthing at the Muara Commercial Port today.
The 'PNS Moawin' will be in the Sultanate until May 21, 2007 for a goodwill-cum-training visit as a segment of its training cruise to Southeast Asia. PNS Maowin is one of the dynamic units of the Pakistan Fleet and pride of the 9t' Auxiliary Squadron.
The ship carries the motto to be ever ready at all time to undertake any operations 慳nywhere anytime'.
The ship is a combat support ship with "underway replenishment capabilities". A replenishment ship, in other words, applies to all methods of transferring fuel, munitions, supplies, and personnel from one vessel to another while underway. In 2005, PNS Maowin alongside one of Pakistan Navy Destroyers had sailed to the Maldives and Indonesia to provide post-tsunami relief.
The ship has successfully undertaken more than 500 replenishment missions since her commissioning in the Pakistan Navy. The ship also carries a helicopter.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

"595,120 comprising 325,059 Brunei citizens, 218,700 permanent residents and 51,361 foreigners."
I don't really understand why Brunei citizens and Permanent residents are considered as visitors. Even that figure of 51,361 foreigners should not be totally considered as visitors as I think most of them are Malaysians who are returning residents of Brunei. By this I mean that these are the Malaysians who resides in Brunei because they either owns business or work in Brunei. |

Close Watch On Nasi Katok Stalls
By Za'im Zaini & Azaraimy HH
Bandar Seri Begawan - Ayam Penyet, Keropok Lekor, Kebabs, Burgers, fritters, Nasi Katok, Roti John, you name it, they have it all. Not only that, they are cheap, and cheaper by the dozen, so to say or speak.
All these fancy foodstuff is available at a number of roadside food stalls operated by foreign workers who have no authority to do so, according to observers. Most of their customers are said to be foreign workers. The types of food are prepared according to recipes originating from their home countries, observers added. What is being dished out is savoured not only by the foreign workers but by locals as well.
What is rather disturbing is that some of the food is not hygienic and often hazardous to one's health. Health conscious clientele have often queried whether these vendors. Abide by health and safety regulations that are normally required to obtain a licence. The relevant authorities are keeping a close watch on some of these clandestine operations.
But the offenders seem to play a cat-and-mouse game to avoid detection, observers added. There have been numerous instances when these stalls have been raided and inspected by the authorities. From these raids, some of the operators were found to be misusing their immigration documents and passes.
Some members of the public also complain that some foreign workers use these stalls to gather in numbers which also becomes a nuisance to neighbours.
According to sources from the Brunei Muara District Office, during their raids, they have encountered numerous instances where stalls were operated by foreign nationals especially those small "gerai". Local SMEs face stiff competition from these illegal stalls as they use cheap and voluntary labour, thus making competition difficult.
To set up a small "gerai", especially those that require miscellaneous licence one needs to fulfil the procedures and rules. The enforcement unit of the licencing board of the Brunei Muara District Office is constantly on the prowl for violators.
An authoritative source added violators who fall foul the law would face a fine of not more than $10,000 under the Miscellaneous Licence Act, Section 3, and Chapter 127,1983. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin |

Sheikh Jamaluddin Sheikh Mohamed
Brunei Tourism Makes Headway
By Azlan Othman
Bandar Seri Begawan - The pristine and lush green forest of the sultanate has grabbed the attention of a renowned travel magazine "Tavel Weekly" which has placed Brunei among the nominees for the best Southeast Asia Ecotourism award, CEO of Brunei Tourism Board said yesterday.
"Indeed our country has been picked to be one of the nominees," Sheikh Jamaluddin Sheikh Mohamed told the Weekend.
"Anyone could just logon to its website and vote for Brunei," added Mohd Jeffrey Hj Mohd Sunny Lai, Marketing and Promotion Officer of the Tourism Board.
Speaking on the steps taken towards promoting tourism, he said the department is now busy with the "Kenali Negara Kitani" (KNK) or Discover Our Nation's domestic campaign in creating tourism sustainability. The environment must be protected toprepare the country for a better travel experience.
The campaign includes road shows at secondary schools, the diplomatic corps, business chambers and government departments in the country.
KNK's aim is to encourage members of the public to explore the wonders of Brunei, especially during the holidays, as well as to sample local delicacies, crafts and other products. Feedback forms are also being used to ensure the campaign's success.
"I want them to understand the importance of tourism, as people still perceive tourism -in a negative way like having social problems. Tourism industry contributes some 1.8 per cent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) with tourism receipts mounting to $315 million and offers some 5,000 jobs directly.
"With a year-on-year increase of seven per cent, I am happy with our progress- to lure tourists to the country where we now see more arrivals, more money changers mushrooming and more tour buses and taxis," he added.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin |
