Rimba II Secondary School (SM Rimba II) yesterday became the latest of secondary schools nationwide to pledge its support for the Road Safety Programme 2012, an international programme which was introduced by the International Federation of Red Crescent Society five years ago to outline the responsibility in providing knowledge on road safety.

Road accidents cause losses not only in the form of psychological effects and risks to the victims and family members, but also to the economy of the country. Therefore the Red Crescent Society, especially at the Asean level, is working together with IFRC to come up with a number of awareness programmes for road safety following the needs and requirements of each respective country.

Currently, the Red Crescent Society of the Brunei-Muara District, with the cooperation of the Brunei National Road Safety Council, has come up with the Road Safety Pledging programme to instil the culture of road safety and to inject the students to be an agent of road safety messages for people around them.

The five main fundamental rules that need to be addressed are wearing seat belts, observing the speed limit, not using mobile phones while driving, using pedestrian walkways and avoiding tailgating.

Each school's Red Crescent unit continues to play an important role in monitoring the programmes in each school. Yesterday saw the Principal of Rimba II Secondary School, Hjh Suriani binti Hj Hashim leading the way in making the pledge for road safety.

A banner for the road safety awareness programme was handed over to the principal by Hj Abdul Majid bin Hj Hidup from Insurans Islam Taib.

Capt (RC) Aneta Yusuf, Head of Secretariat of the Red Crescent Society of Brunei-Muara, in her speech said, "The programme is also in support of His Majesty's titah in conjunction with the 28th National Day of Brunei Darussalam on February 23, 2012."

She also revealed, "Red Crescent Society of Brunei-Muara will continue to come up with an action plan in cooperation with the Road Safety Council and strategic partners in the corporate sector to create a co-curriculum activity through various educational activities to raise awareness on road safety through the department of co-curriculum education under the Ministry of Education next year." The students also read out the road safety oaths and then made their pledges on www.bruneiredcrescent.com/roadsafetypledge/.

Teachers get familiar with int'l humanitarian basic rules

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN

Sunday, May 27, 2012

 

THE Department of Co-Curriculum, Ministry of Education has introduced a programme to familiarise supervising teachers of uniformed groups in schools on the basic rules and principles of international humanitarian laws during its annual camp which is being held at Sultan Hassan Secondary School in Temburong District.

Involving 38 supervising teachers of Army, Police and and Fire brigade Cadets, Scouts, Girl Guides as well as the Red Crescent Society, the programme is in line with the Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society's (Brunei-Muara Division).

According to their press release, the 'Exploring Humanitarian Law' (EHL) is an education programme where participants could give better picture and understandings to their students who are aged between 13 and 18 years old.

The teaching methods used in EHL require students to play an active role in the process of learning. This enables them to develop a humanitarian perspective and to understand a subject as seemingly dry, and complicated, as EHL.

The 'Exploring Humanitarian Law' uses case studies, and builds upon students own experiences and way of thinking to examine the destructiveness of war which also describes the behaviour of actual people who are caught up in situations where humanitarian action is required.

The statement added that by examining these situations, students develop a new perspective and begin to understand the need for rules to protect life and human dignity during war.

The programme was introduced as a topic and specific module during the activities in the annual camp yesterday where two specialists on International Humanitarian Law were also invited from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Facilitating the programme was Dr Toh Wah Seng and Chin Lili, programme officers from the International Committee for the Red Cross Headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Sunday, December 4, 2011

 

FIFTY young Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) members were introduced to issues on humanity and humanitarian work through means of International Humanitarian Law development programmes yesterday.

BDRCS together with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) started a training camp at the Jubli Perak Recreational Park where participating members took the opportunity to learn more about Exploring Humanitarian Law (EHL).

The event, was officiated by guest of honour, Hj Morni Hj Damit, Chairman of Brunei Muara Division, BDRC.

In his opening speech, Camp Commandant Md Amirulrizal Makmun said, "The camp will give the chance for all participants to explore and experience EHL by gaining more knowledge on the subject through lectures, games and other activities."

The camp commandant further added that this will be a start towards developing EHL awareness among the BDRCS members.

In another speech, ICRC Regional Advisor for Asia Sukhdave Singh stressed on the youth as a very important part of society and praised the efforts of the BDRC for their commitment in running the programme.

"The ICRC believes that it is crucial to engage with youths, hoping to inspire them so that they may have a deep-rooted respect for human dignity not just during armed conflict or situations of violence, but also reflected in their daily lives," Singh said.

The youth participating now will also be pioneers of the EHL training in Brunei.

"This camp is one of the many ways to connect with youths regarding issues on humanity and humanitarian work using International Humanitarian Law (IHL) development programmes," he added.

EHL is an educational programme that introduces people aged 13 to 18 years old to the basic rules and principles of IHL. Founded in 1863, the Geneva-based ICRC has supported the development of such programmes in the Asian region such as China, Singapore, Indonesia, Timor Leste, Mongolia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Malaysia. On a global scale, it has seen implementation in over 60 countries.

'Event a great opportunity to greet HM personally'

Rabiatul Kamit and Koo Jin Shen
BELAIT

Tuesday, July 17, 2012

PROUD men and women from both government and non-government institutions in the Belait District joined in for the Meet-and-Greet Session for the district at the Padang Bandaran, Kuala Belait, yesterday.

For the 100 over members of the Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), Kuala Belait Branch yesterday, it was an auspicious occasion.

The Chairman of BDRCS, KB Chai Yum Fatt, told The Brunei Times in an interview that the event presented a prime opportunity for the Red Crescent to show their appreciation to His Majesty the Sultan and yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam with a pesambah of the organisation's year book.

"The year book details our activities that we have carried out in Brunei over the past year and it would be an honour for His Majesty to accept it," he said.

The chairman explained that the BDRCS, KB had been attending the event in Belait for two years and that the members look forward to meeting His Majesty in person.

Meanwhile, for Skip Rafeah Hj Dollah, secretary of Squad 4030, Sea Scouts, from Sg Liang, the birthday celebrations in Belait has been a "special event" for herself and fellow scouts who have been attending the event for over a decade.

"To meet His Majesty is an opportunity not to be missed, which is why we have been coming every year. In person, you get to see how caring the monarch is as he takes his time to personally meet his people," she said in an interview.

Over 60 members of the Third Battalion of the Royal Brunei Land Force garrison in Lumut also had the opportunity to meet and greet the monarch. Lt Mohd Aji Hj Abdul Rahman, said that it would be his first time as a member of the army to be able to greet His Majesty on his birthday.

He said that he had been on a course in Malaysia for his first year in the military, so this year would be something he can proudly remember in the coming years. "I am proud, as a military officer and as a Bruneian citizen, to be here on this occasion," he said, adding he was also proud to represent the battalion alongside his fellow soldiers and subordinates.

Not all of those in uniform however, will have the opportunity to meet the monarch on this special occasion, as volunteers and civil servants carry out their respective duties to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Awaiting in a fire truck, Hj Sulaiman Hj Mohd Yussof, deputy station officer from the Kuala Belait bomba, is in a critical position next to the helicopter landing pad for His Majesty's arrival. "We are here on standby in case of any fire," he said, and noted that they also had men on duty around the Padang Bandaran.

"We have about 60 or 70 people on standby," he said, indicating that there are also extingusihers and 'Fire Tenders' (specialised supply vehicles for fire trucks) on hand to deal with any event of a fire. Fire vehicles and fire fighters from Sungai Liang and Seria was also present.

Alongside the firemen, police from the Belait District were present in force throughout the Padang and its surroundings, ensuring security for the people and for the beloved monarch. Present also were nurses and doctors from the Suri Seri Begawan Hospital, manning four health stations with the aid of First Aid trained members of the BDRCS.

One such civil servant, a fireman who only wished to be known as Hj Ali, said that it was an honour to be working at the event that day, noting that despite not being able to meet His Majesty because he was 'On duty', he considered himself lucky to be able to serve on that day.

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

 

FIFTY members with 30 officials from the Brunei-Muara District's Red Crescent Society (RCS) banded together to hold its third annual clean-up campaign, this time at the Limbungan Muslim cemetery.

The clean-up project was led by Hj Muhd Suhaimi Hj Ibrahim, the Director of the Brunei Muara District Red Crescent Society.

"We have been doing this since 2010 and during that time our first experience was to cover two areas of Muslim cemeteries in Terunjing and Rangas, while last year we did the clean-up at Halangan Besar Islamic Cemetery," the director said.

"This is also our ways to give back to the community and helping them out such as with our recent role in the BIBD's Sirah Amal charity drive. We joined them on their trips to all four districts and visited the less fortunate families to hand them donations. Our role in the charity drive was to identify the needs of the less fortunate families so we know how exactly to help them out in anyways possible," said the director.

He has also mentioned that the RCS will be holding few upcoming events such as the Tahlil and Doa Arwah ceremony for their late members and officials as well as holding Hari Raya event together with 200 less fortunate families and orphans.

SEA (MAA51001) Mid-year report 2012

This report covers the period 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2012

Overview

The first half of 2012 saw a period of stabilization after the significant transition of late 2011. The regional office‟s focus on resilience increased as well as a more linked up and holistic approach to support towards three priorities: 1) national society capacity building particularly in terms of youth and volunteers; 2) tools and approaches that support sustainable efforts to enhance community resilience; and 3) a better protection and projection of the role of the Red Cross Red Crescent – via strengthened approaches in humanitarian diplomacy – in the changing field of disaster management within the Southeast Asian region. The regional office continued to work through the six IFRC country offices and prioritize the 11 national societies of the Southeast Asia region as well as international Red Cross Red Crescent actors, including partner national societies and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

It is encouraging to report that national society regional mechanisms took significant steps forward. The organizational development forum nominated a standing chair (secretary general of Brunei Red Crescent Society) that aimed to better manage preparation for, running of, and follow up to the forum. The regional disaster management committee (RDMC) also nominated a standing chairperson (director of Thai Red Cross relief and community health bureau) and agreed to aim for country-level integration of programming by 2014.

The RDMC will meet again in Cambodia in November to follow up decisions from the Annual Asia Red Cross Red Crescent Leaders Meeting in July in Myanmar.

Of minor concern is the fact that progress on signing the ASEAN cooperation framework agreement remains halting. Changes are afoot in terms of heads of country and regional office in Southeast Asia with recruitment underway for both Cambodia and Myanmar.
