KIGS LENDS HELPING HAND TO NEEDY FAMILY - BB
A mother and her son received a heartwarming gesture from the International Graduate Studies College (IGS) as the students lifted their spirits to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri which is just around the corner. Students and lecturers participated in the event to lend a helping hand in making their house cleaner and more comfortable to live in.
Fifty-seven-year-old retiree, Hajah Dauyah and her son Mohd Noor, 27, have been unable to celebrate Hari Raya for 10 years due to the dilapidated state of their house after facing financial difficulties.
Fifty-seven-year-old retiree, Hajah Dauyah and her son Mohd Noor, 27, have been unable to celebrate Hari Raya for 10 years due to the dilapidated state of their house after facing financial difficulties.
According to Hajah Dauyah, she previously worked at the Agriculture Department. Her husband passed away when Mohd Noor was only 11years old.
"Now I depend on the B$200 financial aid from the Community Development Department and my son is employed at a coral products-processing company," said Hajah Dauyah.
Mohd Noor explained that he is currently working on an on-call basis and he receives a B$300 paycheck. As an alternative when not working, they depend on growing their own vegetables and catching fish just to make ends meet.
"We are thankful for the help rendered by the young people at IGS and their lecturers who have done an amazing job cleaning our whole house including the surroundings to lessen the burden we have been facing for so long," said Mohd Noor.
One of the leading members of IGS, Wan Haji Mohd Faisal Haji Zaini, said that around 150 students volunteered for the charitable work and were divided into four groups. They have been working hard from August 21 till yesterday to clean up the premises.
"We have narrowed down the list of six needy families provided by the Community Development Department. Six of us from IGS went out and interviewed the six families to find out which one of them needed help the most. Hajah Dauyah's residence was infested with insects and had a stench when we first came in to help but praise be to Allah, everything has gone as planned and it is now a better home to live in," he said.
Those interested in helping or giving donations to Hajah Dauyah may do so by approaching them directly at No 22, Simpang 544, Kampong Jerudong, right next to Holiday Lodge Hotel in Jerudong.

Eight students graduated from the Higher National Diploma in Business and Finance course and 11 from the National Diploma in the same course, while 19 graduated from the National Diploma in Computer Studies and 35 received certificate of Pre-National Diploma in Computer studies.
Best Student Award recipient, Dk Nazalita Nazerah Pg Razali, who graduated from the Higher National Diploma in Business and Finance, was very excited and proud of her personal achievement.
“I didn’t expect to grab the award as there was strong competitions in my class,” she said. The 22-year-old who plans to pursue her undergraduate studies in the UK, has already received offer letters from Kent University, Aston University and Keele University and is now awaiting for the Ministry of Education to award her with a scholarship.
She also aims to specialise in human resource management to help reduce the unemployment rate in the country.
“We have quite a significant number of unemployed graduates in the country. So I am looking to contribute in that area in the future (help solve the unemployment problem) if I become an expert in human resource management,” she said.
Dk Nazalita also shared her idea to come up with solutions for unemployed people who do not possess strong educational background.
In her speech, she thanked the lecturers and the management of IGS College for “helping her to achieve her dream”.
She appreciated the teaching methodologies adopted in the class including lectures, group discussion, debates, case studies and class presentations that helped her to develop the skills required in the present dynamic business environment.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Nur Fajrina Hj Ibrahim who graduated from the National Diploma in Computer Studies, acquired the invaluable skill of time management over her three-year course.
“I’ve never really faced a big challenge during my course, but I had difficulties in managing my (personal) time and balancing it out with my studies,” she said, adding that she conducted a lot of group discussions and held study gatherings with her friends to overcome her challenge.
The former Rimba Secondary School student is due to sit for her International English Language Testing System (IELTS) at the end of this month in order to further her studies in Australia.
“I’m very excited and I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time,” she said, speaking of her feelings before receiving her graduation award.
Izzah Nazurah Hj Abd Rahman, was another student who also expressed her excitement after having graduated from the National Diploma in Business and Finance.

MUIB gives financial aid to students - BT
Fitri Shahminan
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN
Tuesday, April 6, 2010 
Muib's Acting Secretary Hj Abd Wahab Hj Sapar (L) hands over the money to Hj Abd Kadir to finance his daughter's, Norhashimah (R), educational fees. Picture: BT/Fitri ShahminanAPPLICANTS of the Brunei Islamic Religious Council's tithes fund may get assistance in the form of housing and education, instead of a monthly allowance, as they are treated on a case-to-case basis, an official clarified yesterday.Muib Acting Secretary Hj Abd Wahab Hj Sapar explained that an applicant's background will be comprehensively studied prior to awarding the assistance.
"An applicant sometimes can sustain their daily living but is unable to afford education or housing costs if he or she wants to further his or her studies and vice versa, so we (Muib) will study and consider the possibility of approving their applicants," he said during a ceremony to award education assistance to a student.
He said that depending on how severe is the situation of an applicant, he or she might even be receiving monthly financial allowances from the zakat (tithes) and other forms of assistance at the same time.
He added that the clarification was important for the public to know as some might have misunderstood the nature of the assistance.
A sum of $4,630 from the zakat (tithes) fund was awarded to Norhashimah Hj Abdul Kadir, a daughter of an underprivileged family to bear the costs of her 2010 Pre-National Diploma course in Computer Studies at International Graduate Studies (IGS) College in Kiulap during the ceremony yesterday.
Hj Abd Wahab also shared that three more students were expected to be handed the aid this month.
The students will be pursuing their studies at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), Laksamana College of Business (LCB) and IGS College.
In his speech, Hj Abd Wahab hoped that the recipients would make full use of the assistance by achieving good results during the period of the course.
"Muib will always, from time to time, be providing assistance to those in dire need of help to sustain proper future development of the people of the nation," he added.
Chief Executive Officer of IGS College Pg Hjh Fatimah Pg Setia Jaya Pg Hj Abd Momin lauded the assistance given by His Majesty's Government through Muib, to ensure that the future of youths in the nation is being taken care of.
The CEO hopes to see more young students awarded with the assistance, if they are unable to continue their studies due to their poor financial situation.

Private sector has a big role to play in education
By Yusrin Junaidi of Borneo Bulletin
Fifty-five IGS College students received their certificates after successfully completing their Computer Studies as well as Business and Finance Studies at the Pre National Diploma and National Diploma during the 2nd convocation ceremony at the IGS College building in Kiulap yesterday evening.
The guest of honour who handed over the certificates was Dato Paduka Hj Hamdillah bin Hj Abd Wahab, Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources.
The ceremony commenced with the recital of the Holy Quran by Awang Hj Mohd Zulfadli Shahnoel bin Muhd Noeh, one of the HNDC 08/02 students of the college.
The CEO and Principal of IGS College, Pengiran Hjh Fatimah binti PSJ Abdul Momin, in a speech said that eight students have received National Diploma in Computer Studies, 14 students National Diploma in Business and Finance, 29 students Pre National Diploma in Computer Studies and four students Pre National Diploma in Business and Finance. Three students received Excellence Awards.
She said, in addition we have created the HELP programme, which stands for "Holistic Excellence Leadership Programme" that emphasises on attendance, self discipline, attire, leadership skills and also competitiveness amongst the different academic groups to vie for the best student and best group award every month.
Pg Hjh Fatimah added that in addition to the new workplace demands, the IGS College is also facing the challenge of information technology (IT) in almost every facet of the working environment.
The guest of honour in his speech said, "We are very proud that 55 students have successfully completed their studies in either Computer Studies or Business and Finance Studies at the Pre National Diploma and National Diploma levels.
"I am very pleased that this college is living up to the dreams of its founder and in facing up to the challenges to provide quality education in response to the policy direction of His Majesty's Government to grow the private sector as the country strives to diversify the economy.
"There is no doubt that growing our private sector will require well trained businessmen and women who embrace innovation and the concept of continuous life long learning. This concept is clearly articulated in the government's education policy objectives in SPN-21," said Dato Hj Hamdillah.
In the Brunei context, the government is heavily entrusted in providing education to the people of Brunei Darussalam almost 'single-handedly' especially in the tertiary level. While this is not a problem as long as the country's revenue continues to allow educational funding to be provided, there could be a time in the future when such provision is no longer sustainable.
The Deputy Minister said, "We have anticipated this possibility and started JIS but we need to broaden it by making a long term plan and developing the capacity of the private sector to deliver quality education.
"This will require support and positive policy environment to allow the private sector to grow and be able to 'take over' partly some of the educational costs through some form of public-private partnership arrangements," he added.
In conclusion, the deputy minister summarised his personal viewpoint on the need to promote private education providers. Private education clearly plays an important role at many levels, second, the expansion of private education can bring many benefits to the government including reducing the financial burden as it encourages more innovation and relevance and increased efficiency in delivery and finally, the overall objective of the government must be to create an enabling environment for the private sector growth.
