Teachers get familiar with int'l humanitarian basic rules
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.

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.
The programme gave the participants an insight into the theory and methods of learning modules and learning objectives as well as target direction of education pedagogy humanitarian law.
In the afternoon session yesterday, the participants also took part in a 'Raid Cross' practical games which provided them with a proper understanding of EHL Training Modules.
Meanwhile, a talk on the EHL programme will be held this monring at the Department of Co-Curriculum for principals and head teachers from government and private secondary schools as well as officials from the Brunei Darussalam Red Crescent Society nationwide. Amir Noor

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

religious activities were added every year, which include tahlil
recitation.
In an interview with Hj Muhd Suhaimi bin Hj Ibrahim, Director of the
Brunei-Muara Red Crescent Society, he said, "As a Red Crescent society,
many would think that we only work in the first-aid related field.
However, we do more work that relates to helping the community and we
are active in lending a helping hand as part of our social
responsibility"
The Brunei-Muara Red Crescent Society recently helped the BIBD Sirah
Amal project by identifying a total number of 61 less fortunate families
