HARI KEPUTERAAN KDYMM KE-64, 15 JULAI 2010

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Khamis, 15 Julai.- Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam bertitah menekankan pentingnya rakyat dan penduduk negara ini menanai dan memelihara keamanan dan kemakmuran negara.

Kedua-dua perkara tersebut adalah asasi dan akan menentukan rebah bangun negara, tegas baginda.
Keamanan yang bertahan lama dan mantap titah baginda adalah segala-galanya, manakala kemakmuran yang berterusan menjadi idaman kepada semua.

Baginda bertitah menegaskan demikian di Istiadat Mengadap dan Mengurniakan Bintang-bintang Kebesaran Negara Brunei Darussalam sempena Sambutan Hari Keputeraan Baginda Ke-64 Tahun yang berlangsung di Balai Singgahsana Indera Buawa, Istana Nurul Iman, di sini.

Baginda sebagai ketua negara seterusnya bersyukur, kerana Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala telah mengurniakan kepada negara dan rakyat serta penduduk di negara ini dengan pelbagai nikmat, yang berupa keamanan dan kemakmuran.

Walau bagaimana pun titah baginda, bagi menanai dan memelihara keamanan dan kemakmuran adalah memerlukan usaha yang berterusan demi kelangsungan dan kemantapannya, di mana semua itu memerlukan kita menanai dan memeliharanya dengan konsisten.

Baginda berpendapat negara yang aman adalah negara yang selesa; iaitu selesa untuk berkembang dan membangun manakala makmur, akan menjadikannya lebih mudah untuk melakar kemajuan.
"Inilah rahasia keamanan. Kerana itu, adalah menjadi kewajipan utama bagi agensi-agensi yang berkaitan untuk mengambil tanggungjawab penuh terhadapnya. Sementara rakyat pula, hendaklah memberikan kerjasama yang padu," tegas baginda.

Sementara di dalam usaha mengekalkan kemakmuran, baginda berpendapat boleh memakai dasar dan kaedah-kaedah biasa, di mana kita perlu mengikut perkembangan semasa di era globalisasi masa kini. Iaitu orang lain bersaing, melabur, mempelbagaikan ekonomi; kita juga perlu bersaing, melabur dan berusaha mempelbagaikan ekonomi negara dengan mengharung apa jua cara yang sesuai untuk kelangsungan kemakmuran negara.

AMBD ditubuhkan,
elak tabi'at suka berhutang BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Khamis, 15 Julai.- Kerajaan Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam melakar satu lagi sejarah baru dalam hal ehwal kewangan dengan menubuhkan sebuah monetari yang juga digelar Authoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam (AMBD) atau 'Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam'.
  AMBD akan berkuatkuasa pada 1 Januari 2011 iaitu selaras dengan amalan terbaik antarabangsa dalam hal ehwal kewangan, yang akan bertanggungjawab ke atas dasar-dasar monetari, pengawalseliaan institusi kewangan dan pengurusan kewangan.
Di samping itu dengan penubuhan AMBD baginda yakin akan dapat mengelakkan cara dan tabi'at tidak sihat, seperti tabi'at suka berhutang tanpa menghiraukan risiko bebanan hutang.

Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam bertitah memaklumkan demikian di Istiadat Mengadap dan Mengurniakan Bintang-bintang Kebesaran Negara Brunei Darussalam sempena Sambutan Hari Keputeraan Baginda Ke-64 Tahun yang berlangsung di Balai Singgahsana Indera Buana, Istana Nurul Iman, di sini.

Menurut baginda, kajian ada menunjukkan bahawa krisis kewangan dunia turut dilihat sebagai punca bebanan hutang.

Fenomena ini, jelas baginda amat mengerunkan dan telah dapat dikesan, yang mana bukan sahaja dialami oleh pihak individu, keluarga dan syarikat perniagaan menanggung hutang tetapi juga terdapat negara yang membuat pinjaman berlebihan sehingga menjadikan negara tersebut tergugat dan bahkan kestabilan ekonomi dan kewangan dunia turut terjejas.

Menyedari akan bahaya berhutang itu, kerajaan baginda semenjak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini telah mengamalkan dasar berhemah dan berjimat cermat di dalam berbelanja dengan menekankan 'value for money' serta menabung lebihan pendapatan kerajaan, demi kemakmuran yang ada sekarang akan terus dapat dinikmati oleh generasi akan datang.

Dalam pada itu baginda juga melahirkan rasa gembira mengenai dengan berita memberangsangkan dari 'The World Economic Forum's WEF) Global Competitiveness Report 2008-2009', yang menjelaskan bahawa Negara Brunei Darussalam telah menduduki tempat teratas dari sudut pengurusan hutang kerajaan, dengan mengambil kira negara ini tidak mempunyai hutang awam.

Sementara itu, negara juga mendapat kedudukan yang kedua daripada 134 buah negara dari aspek kekukuhan makroekonomi, titah baginda.

Jangan Abaikan Kepentingan-Kepentingan Besar Nasional Melalui Sistem Pendidikan   BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Khamis, 15 Julai.- Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam menekankan agar Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kementerian Hal Ehwal Ugama akan menangani pengajaran dan pembelajaran dengan kaedah-kaedah baru yang maju tetapi bukanlah dengan mengabaikan kepentingan-kepentingan besar nasional melalui sistem pendidikannya.
  Menurut baginda, keutamaan terus diberikan kepada subjek-subjek teras dan pengisiannya yang juga turut menyangkut pendidikan ugama kerana kita mesti melihat kepentingan sekolah-sekolah rendah ugama selaku keperluan dan tuntutan zaman.

Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia bertitah demikian di Istiadat Mengadap dan Mengurniakan Bintang-bintang Kebesaran Negara Brunei Darussalam Sempena Hari Keputeraan Baginda Ke-64 Tahun yang berlangsung di Balai Singgahsana Indera Buana, Istana Nurul Iman pada 3 Sya'aban, 1431 bersamaan 15 Julai 2010.
Keperluan di sini, titah baginda menjadikan semua anak-anak orang Islam di negara ini celik ugama yang tentu sahaja melalui sistem pendidikan yang dominan mendaulatkan ugama.

"Di manakah tempatnya?. Bukanlah di rumah atau lain-lain tempat, tetapi di Sekolah Ugama itu sendiri," Titah baginda lagi.

Kita melihat ini, titah baginda bukanlah masa setahun dua, tetapi bagi jangka panjang, demi survival bangsa. Kerana tanpa ugama atau lemah ugama, akan menghumbankan kita kepada bencana.

Baginda bertitah, lihat saja kepada beberapa episod permasalahan dalam masyarakat, yang menjangkiti banyak peringkat terutama muda mudi dan juga anak-anak sekolah. Mereka terjerumus ke dalam pelbagai kancah seperti pergaulan bebas, jenayah dan dadah sehingga ditangkap dan dipenjarakan di negara asing kerana terlibat dengan sindiket dadah.

Menurut baginda, ini tidak boleh dipandang sepi, selaku bangsa yang sedar kita mestilah mengubatinya dan satu-satunya dalam menangani masalah ini, ubat itu ialah ugama.

Baginda juga pernah bertitah demikian sempena Sambutan Maulud Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam pada 9 Mac 2009, dalam situasi dunia mengalami pelbagai penyakit moral dan cabaran semasa, suri teladan Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam dan para sahabat mustahaklah dilihat. Ibarat orang yang sakit, kita tidak wajar diam melainkan perlu mencari ubat

Satu contoh penyakit itu ialah penyakit 'kurang celik atau lemah agama'. Apakah ubatnya penyakit ini kalau berpandukan suri teladan Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam?

Ubatnya itu, menurut suri teladan baginda, ialah pembelajaran seumur hidup, berdasarkan maksud hadis: "Menuntut ilmu itu wajib ke atas orang Islam lelaki dan perempuan". Ini dikuatkan lagi dengan ada ungkapan: Dari buaian sampai ke liang lahad. Kalau konsep belajar apa jua ilmu, disuruh sampai ke liang lahad, maka bukankah ilmu agama itu terlebih afdal dan wajib lagi?

Menurut titah baginda lagi, inilah nampak, untuk kita dapat 'survive' selaku bangsa dan negara yang aman jaya, maka tidak boleh tidak, pendidikan agama mestilah wajib ke atas tiap-tiap batang tubuh Muslim itu, dan Insya-Allah dengan cara ini, semua akan mendapat berkat dan cahaya daripadanya.

Perkhidmatan Awam
perlu terus ditingkatkan   BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Khamis, 15 Julai.- Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam bersempena dengan Sambutan Hari Keputeraan Baginda Ke-64 Tahun sekali lagi bertitah menekankan pentingnya Perkhidmatan Awam terus ditingkatkan terutama dari segi produktiviti dan etika kerja.
  Baginda mahu Perkhidmatan Awam secara berterusan akan menilai kekuatan dan kelemahannya berasaskan Key Performance Indicator yang telah ditetapkan, kerana dengan cara demikian sahaja kita dapat menyukat setakat mana Perkhidmatan Awam dapat melaksanakan tanggungjawabnya, dan memenuhi harapan negara dan orang ramai.

Baginda bertitah demikian di Istiadat Mengadap dan Mengurniakan Bintang-bintang Kebesaran Negara Brunei Darussalam yang berlangsung di Balai Singgahsana Indera Buana, Istana Nurul Iman, di sini.
Sejajar dengan keperluan-keperluan utama dalam Perkhidmatan Awam, baginda telah dan sedang menangani bagaimana untuk mempercepatkan penyediaan perumahan awam yang bersesuaian, melalui Jabatan Kemajuan Perumahan, Kementerian Pembangunan iaitu dengan menetapkan sasaran dan langkah bagi memenuhi permintaan rakyat dan penduduk di negara ini, termasuk rancangan pembinaan rumah-rumah yang diungkayahkan oleh Lembaga Kemajuan Ekonomi Brunei.

Melalui langkah-langkah berkenaan, baginda berharap pengagihan perumahan akan lebih dapat dipercepatkan.

Dalam pada itu baginda seterusnya menjelaskan bahawa negara akan bergerak dalam pembangunan yang lebih kondusif bagi pelaburan dengan meningkatkan pemeliharaan alam sekitar dan kualiti kehidupan.
Bagi tujuan itu, Kementerian Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri kini sedang mengungkayahkan pembangunan Bandar Seri Begawan melalui Penyediaan Plan Induk BSB.

Manakala di bidang perkhidmatan kesihatan pula, baginda bertitah menekankan perlunya Kementerian Kesihatan mengukuhkan lagi dasar-dasarnya serta menilai sistem dan pengurusan kesihatan khasnya kapasiti dan kualiti sumber tenaga kedoktoran dan professional lain.

"Kita tidak mahu rumah sakit kita menjadi bayang-bayang yang menakutkan, hanya kerana doktor-doktor selalu gagal dalam memberikan khidmat mereka," tegas baginda.

Dalam titah itu, baginda juga menekankan pentingnya bidang permakanan terus dilipatgandakan, bagi menghampiri sasaran sara diri yang negara cita-citakan, di samping menitik beratkan tentang keselamatan makanan, sama ada yang bersumber daripada dalam, mahu pun luar negara.

Bagi tujuan itu baginda menyeru Kementerian Perindustrian dan Sumber-Sumber Utama supaya memastikan dan melaksanakan langkah-langkah penilaian dan kawalan iaitu meliputi dalam semua aspek kehalalan, kebersihan dan keselamatan makanan.

Menyentuh mengenai arena antarabangsa, baginda bertitah akan terus mengamalkan dasar saling hormat menghormati serta bekerjsama bagi semua pihak.

Ianya termasuklah di peringkat ASEAN yang dipandu oleh halatuju Piagam ASEAN.
Sementara dalam pertubuhan antarabangsa yang lain seperti APEC, OIC, Komanwel dan lain-lain, negara juga akan terus mengekalkan peranan didalam pertubuhan-pertubuhan tersebut.

His Majesty Divorces Azrinaz

Last Updated on Thursday, 17 June 2010 10:50 Share  Written by Ignatius Stephen & ShaSahmin Wednesday, 16 June 2010 21:36 

All Royal Titles, Decorations & Medals Withdrawn

Bandar Seri Begawan - His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei has divorced his second wife, Azrinaz Mazhar Hakim a former Malaysian television journalist on Wednesday, June 16, whom he married at a private ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2005.
The announcement was made over Radio Television Brunei tonight and came after rumours of the royal split circulated for some time in the Brunei capital. A Brunei Palace announcement said tonight that all her royal titles have been revoked.

Soon after Azrinaz's marriage to the Brunei ruler she was conferred the royal titles and became known as Pengiran Isteri Azrinaz Mazhar (Malay: Duli Yang Teramat Mulia Pengiran Isteri Azrinaz Mazhar).
She is the second child of Hakim Mazhar Mohd Johar and Fauziah Abdullah Mansoor.

The Brunei ruler married the former TV3 (Malaysia) newscaster Azrinaz Mazhar at a private ceremony attended by family members and close friends at the Istana Brunei in Kuala Lumpur five years ago.

The marriage was a heavily guarded secret and was only leaked very much later to the press by one of the guests, according to a then news report. A royal proclamation was made back in Brunei some days later.
Azrinaz, fondly known as Naz among her TV colleagues, started work as a broadcast journalist with Malaysian television channel TV3 (Malaysia) in 1997.

Azrinaz Mazhar

 

She won TV3's "Most Promising Journalist" award in 2000 and received the MIIM Alumni Award in 2002.
She quit TV3 just before her marriage, saying that she wanted to "venture into other undertakings".

Soon rumours were afloat both in Kuala Lumpur and in Brunei that Azrinaz, 26, who used to appear on the Buletin Pagi, Berita Terkini and Buletin 1.30 news segments, had married the 58-year-old Sultan.

On 1 June 1 2006 at 12.43am, she gave birth to a prince, Prince 'Abdul Wakeel. The pregnancy itself was also kept secret. A 21-cannon salute was fired at the vicinity of the Istana Nurul Iman to celebrate the birth.
On 28 January 2008 at 4.21pm, she gave birth to a princess, Princess Ameerah Wardatul Bolkiah.
On 16 June 2010 a royal announcement said that the Brunei ruler has divorced Azrinaz and hereby removed all titles that was given to her.

His Majesty's first wife is Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hajah Saleha and their son, Crown Prince Al Muhtadee Billah Bolkiah, is the heir to the throne of Brunei.

The Brunei ruler took former stewardess Mariam Abdul Aziz as his second wife in October 1981. He divorced Mariam in February 2003.

The Cabinet 2010

Sultan Reveals Major Cabinet Reshuffle 

Written by Azlan Othman & Waleed PD Mahdini Sunday, 30 May 2010 06:53  

Bandar Seri Begawan - His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam yesterday announced the much anticipated cabinet reshuffle and new appointments for another five-year term.

The historic announcement by the monarch saw four deputy ministers ushered in as new cabinet ministers, as four cabinet ministers were relieved of their posts, three incumbent ministers retaining their same portfolios and the first female cabinet appointment as a deputy minister. Three permanent secretaries were also newly appointed as deputy ministers that all took effect as of yesterday, Saturday, May 29.

In a titah that was broadcast nationwide over the state media at 4pm yesterday and aired repeatedly during every scheduled news report, His Majesty first thanked Allah the Al-Mighty for blessing the nation with peace and prosperity.

"The state of nation in peace and prosperity means everything. There is no greater wish than this, as it leads to the path to all welfares," His Majesty remarked in his titah, adding: "For the country, when it is peaceful and prosperous, every development should run smoothly. Coupled with effective government machineries, would further enable the escalation of hope to see through more successes."

The monarch, who retained the cabinet portfolios of Prime Minister, Defence Minister and Finance Minister, pointed out that these do not come about naturally, but require much effort and hard work beforehand.
"For without these efforts and hard work, we would not get anywhere."

His Majesty then asked, "Who is more appropriate to lead this hard work and task?" The answer, the monarch said, is none other than the column of leaders, highlighting that "they are the ones that are the icons that the people look up to and as role models, they must also possess dynamic personalities and characteristics".

This dynamism, His Majesty spelt out, must also encapsulate positive attitudes; the right capabilities and far-sightedness, including remaining committed come rain or shine, to the point that their self worth is not as important, compared to the sacrifices needed for God, King and Country.

"For if we can have leaders such as these, then we would be the most fortunate people, as our citizens and residents could also share in this greatness with them."

His Majesty, attired in an immaculate business suit, then spelt out to his new cabinet: "This is my hope. And this is the motive behind the new cabinet reshuffle and the appointments of some new appointments."
The monarch then duly announced the appointments.

His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalarn retained his incumbent portfolios as the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and Minister of Finance.

But His Majesty also cautioned: "Don't let there be any who wish to create their own self-agenda for their own limited interests, but assist and support the monarchy to reach the country's hopes and dreams with equality and fairness. Let us prove that fairness has not withered in Brunei but remains and indeed prospers unlike what we can see in other lands."

In concluding his titah, His Majesty expressed his appreciation and gratitude to those no longer appointed, for their service all these years and hoped Allah the Al-Mighty would reward them with happiness. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin.

MMN Mac 2010

Titah Perasmian MMN ke-6

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN,Khamis, 11 Mac. - Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam bertitah agar setiap perkara yang dibincang dalam Sidang Majlis Mesyuarat Negara (MMN) hendaklah benar-benar mengambil kira kemaslahatan rakyat dan negara, bukannya perkara-perkara tidak penting, di samping dilihat secara serius bukan dengan sikap sambil lewa.


Ketika mengurniakan titah di Istiadat Pembukaan Rasmi Mesyuarat Pertama dari Musim Permesyuaratan Keenam MMN berlangsung di Dewan Persidangan MMN , Dewan Majlis, Jalan Kebangsaan di sini, baginda menegaskan sebarang kenyataan atau pandangan perlulah disokong dan kajian dengan fakta supaya perbincangan mampu terarah dengan baik tidak kucar-kacir atau tersasar dari tujuan.

"Sebagai misal kita kadang-kadang mendapati ada projek-projek yang tidak dapat disiapkan dalam tempoh tertentu yang ditetapkan, apa alasannya maka berlaku yang demikian itu. Inilah yang perlu kita kaji dan dalami sebab-sebabnya sama ada dari pihak kerajaan mahupun pihak pengusaha," tegas baginda.

Baginda bertitah lagi, mengapakah kegagalan itu boleh berlaku dan apa puncanya, mustahak dibutirkan selengkapnya faktor-faktor kegagalan tersebut, kerana ini sangat besar kegunaannya, di antaranya kita dapat belajar dari kesilapan dan juga dengan mengetahui kesilapan dan punca-punca kegagalan itu agar di masa-masa akan datang tidak lagi akan berulang.

Ke arah ini baginda berharap kita semua perlu mengorak langkah lebih pantas untuk mengatasi jika ada sebarang kelambatan atau kegagalan bagi mencapai sasaran, kerana sebarang kelambatan atau kegagalan itu sangat buruk akibatnya kepada negara.

Baginda juga berbangga dengan negara kita sedang rancak dengan pembangunan ekonominya setelah menyaksikan kesan-kesan krisis ekonomi dunia yang parah.

"Alhamdulillah berkat dasar kita yang mantap dan sikap sihat dalam berbelanja tanpa bergantung dengan hutang maka sosioekonomi kita terus kukuh dan stabil. Ditambah lagi dengan adanya peningkatan tahap keyakinan di pasaran kewangan dunia dan peningkatan dalam bentuk permintaan bagi produk minyak mentah. Ini sedikit sebanyak dapat memastikan bahawa hasil pendapatan negara, insya-Allah akan terus mampu untuk menampung perbelanjaan-perbelanjaan kerajaan," titah baginda.

Menyentuh mengenai persidangan ini seperti lazimnya akan dijadikan saluran bagi menyampai dan membahaskan pandangan-pandangan ahli yang dlihat sebagai cara untuk menjana perkembangan-perkembangan dan kemajuan. Dari sinilah suara akan didengar dan sampai kepada pihak-pihak dalam kerajaan. Semuanya itu akan dinilai dan diteliti jika didapati bersesuaian ia akan menjadi asas kepada perancangan-perancangan negara.

Baginda juga menyeru pihak-piha dalam kerajaan pula sentiasa berkewajipan untuk mendekati rakyat dan penduduk dengan maklumat-maklumat yang berguna supaya mereka dapat sama-sama merasakan betapa mustahaknya negara merancang dan membangun untuk kemajuan.

BND626.8 juta peruntukan tambahan diluluskan

Dalam titah sama baginda juga menyentuh mengenai langkah Kerajaan meluluskan peruntukan tambahan sebanyak BND626.8 juta pada 2009/2010 dengan hasrat supaya operasi perkhidmatan kerajaan dan pelaksanaannya projek-projek pembangunan tidak terjejas.
Dengan peruntukan tambahan ini ianya juga dapat merangsang aktiviti-aktiviti perekonomian yang berdaya saing, titah baginda.

"Ini semua tentu sahaja memerlukan mekanisme yang ligat, cekap dan tidak ketinggalan zaman, kerana pengurusan ekonomi itu bukanlah berundur kebelakang walau setapak," titah baginda lagi.
Menurut baginda lagi ekonomi negara kita juga sedang bergerak kepada kepelbagaian ekonomi serta tidak lagi terlalu bergantung kepada hasil minyak dan gas yang kita lihat sebagai antara objektif asas wawasan negara.

Namun dalam perkara pembangunan ini tegas baginda lagi, kita perlu memahami bahawa pembangunan yang lengkap itu bukan semata-mata difokus kepada infrastruktur fizikal tetapi juga mesti memberikan penekanannya kepada bidang rohani.

"Kedua-duanya fizikal dan rohani mestilah seimbang dibangun. Sudah tidak rahsia lagi semua negara di dunia ini rata-rata membangun tetapi pembangunan itu kelihatannya melebih fizikal. Betul mereka itu mungkin maju tetapi dalam maju itu ada yang tidak senang duduk, tidak merasa nikmat tidur kerana negara asyik bergelut dengan huru-hara dan peperangan dengan pergaduhan-pergaduhan sesama sendiri dengan jenayah, dengan dadah, dengan rasuah dan lain-lain," titah baginda lagi.

PENDIDIKAN UGAMA ADALAH WAJIB

Juga turut disentuh dalam titah ialah isu pendidikan ugama. Tegas baginda pendidikan ugama daripada bawah lagi sewajarnya wajib bukan 50 tahun sebagai pilihan.

Baginda menegaskan bahawa pendidikan adalah pelaburan sepanjang hayat yang tidak boleh diabai-abaikan.
"Dasarnya mesti sihat dan sistemnya mesti betul. Dasar dan sistem yang baik ialah dasar dan sistem yang mampu untuk membangunkan rohani bukan yang melemahkannya," titah baginda.

Ini tambah baginda lagi, kemajuan yang dicapai tidak bermakna kerana dalam perkara pembangunan ini kita perlu memahami bahawa pembangunan yang lengkap itu bukan semata-mata difokus kepada infrastruktur fizikal, tetapi juga mesti memberikan penekanannya kepada bidang rohani. Kedua-duanya fizikal dan rohani mestilah seimbang dibangun. Sudah tidak rahsia lagi semua negara di dunia ini rata-rata membangun, tetapi pembangunan itu kelihatannya melebihi fizikal.

"Kerana itu beta tidak bosan-bosan menyebut mengenai pendidikan. Pendidikan adalah pelaburan sepanjang hayat yang tidak boleh diabai-abaikan. Dasarnya mesti sihat dan sistemnya mesti betul. Dasar dan sistem yang baik ialah dasar dan sistem yang mampu untuk membangunkan rohani bukan yang melemahkannya," titah baginda. (Dipetik dari Pelita Brunei)

Titah Sempena Menyambut Ulang Tahun Hari Kebangsaan Negara Brunei Darussalam Yang Ke-26

Titah Sempena Menyambut Ulang Tahun Hari Kebangsaan Negara Brunei Darussalam Yang Ke-26

Titah Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam Sempena Menyambut Ulang Tahun Hari Kebangsaan Negara Brunei Darussalam Yang Ke-26 pada Hari Selasa 9hb Rabiulawal, 1431 bersamaan 23hb Februari, 2010 Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Alameen, Wabihie Nasta’eenu ‘Alaa Umuriddunya Waddeen, Wassalatu Wassalamu ‘Alaa Asyrafil Mursaleen, Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa’alaa Alihie Wasahbihie Ajma’een, Waba’du. Segala puji dan syukur hanya kepada Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala jua, atas limpah rahmat-Nya mengizinkan kita dapat menyambut Ulang Tahun Hari Kebangsaan ke-26 dalam suasana aman, makmur dan sejahtera. Kesyukuran kita ini adalah sebagai respon kepada peringatan Allah, ayat 7 surah Ibrahim, tafsirnya: “Dan (ingatlah), tatkala Tuhanmu memaklumkan: Sesungguhnya jika kamu bersyukur, pasti Kami akan menambah (ni'mat) kepadamu, dan jika kamu mengingkari (ni'mat-Ku), maka sesungguhnya azab-Ku sangatlah pedih.” Ni'mat ini, semoga berkekalan, sehingga kegenerasi demi generasi. Itulah harapan kita. Tema Sambutan Ulang Tahun Hari Kebangsaan pada tahun ini berbunyi: “Negaraku Brunei Darussalam.” Ramai orang beranggapan, tema seperti ini, hanyalah tertentu untuk memupuk semangat patriotisme dan cintakan negara semata-mata. Kalau inilah saja, maka ianya belum lengkap lagi. Turut lebih penting lagi ialah, apakah sumbangan kita untuk 'mengekalkan' ni'mat Allah, yang dikurniakan-Nya selama ini kepada kita dan negara? Patriotisme dan cintakan negara, sering dilihat orang dari kulitnya saja, berupa ikrar-ikrar dan upacara-upacara kesukaan. Jarang orang melihatnya sampai ke lubuk-lubuk rahsia : bahawa ni'mat itu ditanai dengan syukur dan digilap dengan kerja-kerja takwa kepada Allah. Jika ini ada, maka barulah ada harapan untuk ni'mat itu berkekalan, sebagaimana janji Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala sendiri. Maka bersukut dengan sa'at bersejarah ini, marilah kita sama-sama menghayati amal syukur dan amal takwa itu. Selebihnya, kita adalah memerlukan prestasi perlaksanaan yang berterusan. Kita mahu, apa yang dirancang itu dilaksanakan dengan menepati jadual, bukan sekadar rancangan di atas kertas saja. Dan adapun anak kunci kepada semua ini, ialah “cara” kita melaksanakannya. Diantara cara paling efektif ialah, perundingan yang berkesan diantara agensi-agensi berkaitan, misalnya ada rancangan untuk membangun sekolah atau masjid, kadang-kadang yang dijadikan alasan mengapa 'lambat', ialah, kerana ada halangan berkaitan dengan syarat-syarat tanah, atau tanah belum digezit dan seumpamanya. Jika inilah alasannya, bukankah semua itu dari kerajaan jua? Sepatutnya kalau kerajaan sendiri yang berkehendak, tentu saja masalah itu tidak akan jadi sukar lagi. Tetapi kelambatan tetap juga berlaku, mengapa? Adakah kita betul-betul serius ataupun tidak? Jika lambat diperingkat bawah, adakah peringkat atas mahu turun padang berunding? Inilah masalah kita. Dan inilah makanya mekanisme penyukat prestasi (key performance indicators) telah dibentuk untuk dipakai sebagai panduan oleh setiap agensi kerajaan. Satu lagi keperluan dalam usaha kita membangun negara ialah keadaan alam sekitar. Tidak ada maknanya pembangunan pesat jika alam sekitar terjejas teruk. Kerana kita juga terus memerlukan tanah yang subur, udara yang bersih, air minum yang bersih, malah air laut yang bersih yang tidak tercemar. Kerana inilah sumber kesejahteraan yang sebenar-benarnya. Oleh itu, sudah tiba masanya untuk kita menyegerakan penggubalan undang-undang atau peraturan bagi pembangunan lebih terkawal. Pada misalnya kita perlu menguatkuasakan mekanisme 'Environmental Impact Assesment' dan lain-lain seumpamanya bagi projek-projek pembangunan. Turut penting juga untuk disebut ialah hal ehwal kewangan. Baru-baru ini Kerajaan Beta telah melaksanakan peraturan pengawalan penggunaan kad kredit. Langkah ini menarik perhatian pelbagai pihak dan menjadi satu perkara yang diperkatakan ramai. Tujuan Kerajaan ialah supaya kita sama-sama memahami, bahawa kemewahan hidup yang disandarkan kepada hutang yang bertumpuk-tumpuk merupakan kemewahan yang rapuh, dan malah, akan banyak mendatangkan kerugian pada jangka panjang. Walaupun pada peringkat awalnya, perkara ini mungkin sedikit sebanyak mempersulit sebilangan rakyat atau institusi yang mempunyai kepentingan, namun pihak Kerajaan adalah percaya, tindakan ini sungguh tepat, demi menjaga kesejahteraan rakyat dan penduduk negara ini pada jangka waktu yang jauh. Ini, adalah satu dari strategi kita dalam menjadikan ekonomi sebagai salah satu dari 3 tiang utama Wawasan Brunei 2035. Negara memerlukan dasar-dasar ekonomi yang lebih teratur, mantap dan menarik, serta juga iklim pelaburan yang kondusif yang berupaya menjadi pemangkin kepada pertumbuhan perekonomian secara keseluruhan. Demikian juga, usaha-usaha adalah perlu, bagi membolehkan kita mengimbangi kekurangan dalam pasaran domestik, serantau mahupun global, serta menukarkannya kepada situasi yang lebih positif dan menguntungkan. Pada akhirnya, Beta dengan ikhlas merakamkan ucapan penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada segenap lapisan rakyat serta penduduk negara ini termasuk semua peringkat, ahli Perkhidmatan Awam, Pasukan-Pasukan Keselamatan serta mereka yang berkhidmat di sektor swasta di atas segala bentuk pengorbanan dan sumbangan mereka kepada negara. Ucapan yang sama juga Beta tujukan kepada ahli-ahli Jawatankuasa Tertinggi dan lain-lain Jawatankuasa Sambutan Perayaan Ulang Tahun ke-26 Hari Kebangsaan, dan semua peserta serta petugas yang turut berusaha untuk menjayakan perayaan ini. Marilah kita sama-sama menadah tangan dan memohon kehadrat Allah Subhanahu Wata'ala, supaya negara dan kita semua, sentiasa dilimpahkan dengan berkat dan rahmat-Nya, amin. Sekian, Wabillahit Taufeq Walhidayah, Wassalaamu 'Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh.

Former Minister of Development

Verdict tomorrow in former Minister of Development's graft case

Syazwan Sadikin
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

THE High Court will hand down its judgment tomorrow in the graft charges against former Minister of Development YAM Pg Indera Wijaya Pg Dr Hj Ismail Pg Hj Damit.

The former minister is charged with allegedly accepting gratification and corruptly granting government projects worth over $100 million to Wong Tim Kai, managing director of TED Sdn Bhd, the same company which came under scrutiny during the trial.

In late January this year, both prosecution and defence counsel had submitted their respective case before Judge Gareth Lugar-Mawson.

In the prosecution submission, Queen's Counsel Andrew Macrae said that projects under the Istana Project Supervisor (IPS), a position which Pg Dr Hj Ismail held since the 1970s, still constitutes as government projects as these were carried out by various government officers regardless of how it was financed. "The notion of IPS projects as somehow different animal which absolved Pg Dr Hj Ismail of the duty to deal with them properly, responsibly and with integrity because they were apparently paid for 'privately' is, with respect, a complete 'red-herring'," said Macrae.

Other allegations that Macrae has brought forward was the issue of the Tungku Phase III which Pg Dr Hj Ismail had decided to award lucrative contracts in the most "unprecedented way" as Wong Tim Kai had just completed building, at his sole expense, a house for Pg Dr Hj Ismail on his land and was about to become his tenant at a rent of $5,000 per month.

Prosecution also alleged that sometime in April 1995 Pg Dr Hj Ismail had "simply" given Wong Tim Kai the Lambak Kiri 27 project "without any consideration of the appropriate alternatives" in light of Wong Tim Kai signing a Sale and Purchase agreement with the former minister's daughter.

These were followed by detailed account on the acts which the prosecution alleged Pg Dr Hj Ismail of committing in relation to his corruption charge, particularly the Tungku Phase III, Lambak Kiri 27, Drainage and Roadworks, the Variation Orders, Earthworks and TOL land.

Meanwhile, the defence counsel repeated his call for acquittal of Pg Hj Ismail in corruption charges brought against him on account that the prosecution had failed to show evidence relating to the offences.

Ahmad Basuni explained that as an IPS, Pg Dr Hj Ismail is accountable and receives command directly from His Majesty the Sultan or other members of the Royal Family and came to the conclusion that the position of the former Development Minister held "does not fall within the ambit of a Public Body as defined in the Prevention of Corruption Act".

He further reiterated that there was a lack of evidence to show that Pg Dr Hj Ismail had at any point in time granted any favours to Wong Tim Kai neither was there any evidence he compromised or hindered the performance of his duties either as the Minister of Development or Istana Project Supervisor in his dealings with Wong Tim Kai.

Sultan Irked Over Lack Of Religious Education 26.01.2010

Bandar Seri Begawan - His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam pointed out several faults in a thought provoking titah yesterday as the monarch made a working visit to Seri Begawan Religious Teachers University College in Jln Tutong and Al-Falaah Religious School in Jln Muara.
In the hard-hitting titah, the monarch spoke about the failure of the education authorities to make religious school education compulsory even after 50 years and a higher institution organising gala nights after its convocation with graduates wearing inappropriate attire and aping the western style as reported in the media and Internet.

The monarch also highlighted the need to speed up the construction of a new building for Al-Falaah Religious School, which has long been overdue, as it has reached its full enrollment capacity, and the lack of statistics to identify the number of students who did not go to religious schools, while questioning the wisdom of officials who wait for instructions before carrying our their tasks.

In the question and answer session during the working visit, His Majesty first inquired on the Al-Falaah school, which is getting crowded and could not accept any more new students.

The monarch inquired on the update of the new school site and called on concerned authorities to speed up the process. "Finding a way to solve this issue is important. It is not the time to exchange letters but a phone call will do to solve pending issues like land. They need to discuss it. If I had not made a visit (this morning), it would not have been solved even after 10 years.

"The Islamic Religious Council (MUIS) has approved it several years ago. The school is now full and they have to reject new applications. This problem can be solved if there is a willingness," His Majesty added.
The Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs, Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Hj Awg Badaruddin respondeded by saying that an architect has been appointed and a tender opened to elect the suitable contractor and they are now sorting out issues like land and building.

On the issue of the number of students who don't attend religious school, an officer from the Islamic Education Institute (IPI) said based on a study by IPI last year, 712 children did not go to religious school and 1,089 children did not complete their religious education. Since then 209 students have been registered.
He also said that a plan is in the pipeline to review the act and a draft was completed and forwarded to the AG's Chamber last year.

His Majesty said 20 or 30 years ago, many religious schools were constructed unlike today. "This might be one of the reasons why parents are not inclined to send their children to religious schools," the ruler added.
On organising gala nights after the convocation, His Majesty asked whether it was relevant to organise it. "Why should success (after the convocation) be mixed with gala night and entertainment. It would be better to organise a thanksgiving ceremony. The gala night was even attended by high-ranking officials. There are other ways to celebrate it besides holding a gala night," the monarch said.

The ruler said, social illnesses were on the rise and happening in houses, schools, higher institutions and other places. Misuse of drugs, unruly behaviour, and casual sex are now not hidden but cover the front pages of newspapers, magazines and Internet as if the parents are helpless and incapable of functioning.

"In this situation, we still have the medicine, which is the religious education. I am convinced that we could still cure the social illness through this medicine. Hence, I stand firm to emphasise that religious studies is compulsory in SPN 21 and should not be clubbed along with other subjects, which is not right.
"In this context, I see the importance of religious school education and want to know why it has not been made compulsory all these years. For 50 years, we have this liberal system and yet there are no changes being made. The system is in a freeze and there is a need for change.

"By not making religious school education compulsory, we create a gap among people who are literate and illiterate in terms of religious education. Why should this happen? Do we consider the current system good and if so, what is the reason?" asked the ruler.

"It has been 50 years that this non-compulsory system has been carried out and there is no effort to revise and review the good and bad effects and we have continued to be silent for 50 years.

"Haven't we noticed any undesirable outcome from such silence? For 50 years, the people have been left to choose whether they need to go to religious school or not. Is this the right approach?

"Recently, the relevant authorities called on the parents or the public to ask their children to attend religious schools. This is not a matured approach but rather what the Malay proverb says, 'Melepaskan Batuk Di Tangga' or not serious in doing things. Those who happened to hear would have taken note, but those who did not would be many. This is not the way to do it.

"The right way is to review the system, whether it is appropriate for not making it compulsory, what is the gain and loss. If the country gains, just maintain it, but if there is a loss, we must do something and not keep silent.
"Have the relevant parties conducted any survey or compiled statistics like how many families send their children to school and how many Islamic children go to religious school?

"Such survey, I believe, is crucial as it helps to find out problems and for us to improve any shortfalls. Due to lack of statistics, we have continued `to sleep' for 50 long years. In my opinion, the parties should take steps to compile statistics, not just limited to one or two years, but at least covering the last 10 to 20 years.
"If we can compile statistics for diseases like cancer, HIV, heart and so on, there is no reason for us not to compile one on religious education. We are yet to hear and read statistics of school children who are able to pray, recite Quran or otherwise. Is it not important?" asked His Majesty.

"Personally, I see there are still a lot of people who are religiously illiterate. This is evident as youths and teenagers are seen still playing close to the dusk prayer. At schools and higher institutions, there are still issues like people keeping religion aside such as when organising functions by copying western style in their dresses and attitudes, which has been reported in the media and Internet and this worries many parents.

"How could this happen? Does this indicate that there is religious illiteracy and is this due to the fact that attending religious school has not been made compulsory for the last 50 years. In short, we could come across many shortfalls due to a weak educational system where the religious spirit is not flourishing," said His Majesty.

"Another latest news is there is no religious education in the Nursing College. In foreign countries, there is news that an Islamic style of treatment has been introduced at hospitals but at our own institutions, we have removed religious knowledge. Where is the wisdom and talk about upholding the 'Negara Zikir' slogan?" His Majesty asked.

"I am surprised that religious matters are handled slowly. Why? For instance, the project to construct mosques has been planned for many years but there is no news until today."

His Majesty added the construction of Al-Falaah school has been approved for many years but till today nothing has been done. "Has it got to do with budget allocation or is it deliberately delayed?" asked the monarch.

"No doubt, people would lose belief on the school as they are not comfortable with the school conditions and facilities.

"Didn't it cross our mind that the more we delay the project the higher would be the cost to build it? Who would be responsible, not just `Baitul-Mal' but the school authorities themselves who may have to shoulder the burden to pay more as it takes a long time to settle the dues compared to six or seven years ago," said His Majesty. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
