Woman Jumps Off First Floor To Escape Immigration Raid
By M K Anwar
Bandar Seri Begawan - A Woman was believed to have jumped off the first floor of a house when Immigration Enforcement officers carried out an inspection in Kg Sengkurong on Tuesday night.
According to the officers, they were carrying out an inspection at the house, which was part of an operation codenamed "Ops Bongkar 61". However, the door of one of the rooms was blocked from the inside.
When they managed to enter the room, they found an Indian man and heard a thud.
The suspected immigration offender, who was found unconscious on the ground, was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
Immigration Enforcement officers informed the Bulletin yesterday that the woman was still unconscious. It was learnt that she was working as a maid in the country.
The Indian national who tried to prevent officers from entering the room was issued a special pass.
Investigations are currently underway.
Meanwhile, Immigration Enforcement officers have successfully nabbed a suspected illegal immigrant at a rented room in Kg Mulaut.
The Indonesian man made a vain attempt to flee but was eventually caught by the officers. After being interrogated by officers, he revealed that he had entered the country illegally through Malaysia by hiding inside the boot of the car.
He was sentenced to three months' jail with three strokes of the cane yesterday. He told officers that he paid 10 million Indonesian rupiah for the `taxi ride'.
He claimed that he was cheated by an employment agent. Along the way through Sarawak, he got in and out of the boot of the car three times.
The Immigration Enforcement officers believe that they have uncovered a syndicate that is connected to other syndicates in Indonesia and Malaysia involved in smuggling illegal workers.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin |

Sultan Extols Leadership
By Sonia K
Bandar Seri Begawan - The functions of leadership are still important no matter how advanced the technology is.
His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam highlighted this in his titah during the 46th Anniversary of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium yesterday. The celebration carries the theme, "Iltizam Memperkasa Pertahanan Negara".
His Majesty, who is the Minister of Defence and Supreme Commander of the RBAF, said that while we enjoy the current prosperity, we should be aware of the incidents threatening world peace that are happening around us.
The threats come in different forms and some come in the form of high tech equipment and some in a psychological form through different actions or deeds.
"All these cannot be avoided and we must look at ways to prevent them," His Majesty noted. To make preventive methods more effective, we must have self-determination and strength. Without them, we will only be left behind.
"In what form is this strength needed?" asked the monarch and replied, "Indeed both will power as well as physical strength."
It dominates a high fighting spirit, patience, bravery and on top of that advanced technology for defence.
This fulfils the Ministry of Defence's initiative to hold an International Defence Exhibition and Forum in conjunction with the celebration of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces anniversary this year, said His Majesty.
The events that have been arranged will bring a lot of advantages to society in terms of knowledge and education on the different kinds of threats, as well as on the latest technology in relation to the various perspectives of defence and safety.
This is also desired as a basis towards acquiring a local defence industry planning that is an aspiration to be achieved through the revision of the Defence White Paper 2007.
"I can see the benefit if the defence activities will also continuously contribute to the development of the country抯 economy and also open up new opportunities for the citizens," His Majesty said.
In relation to this, with the existence of the different types of modern defence equipment, His Majesty reminded the Ministry of Defence to be wiser in valuing priorities that are in line with the country's current developments and threat assessment.
Thus, in the choosing of equipment and procurement process, it (Ministry of Defence) has to determine that it is really accurate, genuine and away from any issues of self-importance, which needs thorough investigation and a systematic and efficient management.
In His Majesty's view, upgrading the status of the Military Capability Development Unit to that of a directorate is one of the efforts to upgrade effectiveness and integrity of the current procurement system.
"In the craze of conquering high technology, we must not forget that no matter how advanced the technology is, it will not be able to replace the functions of leadership in the organisation.
"Leadership will continue to be needed as the main pillar to decide the good or bad of the organisation," His Majesty said.
That is one of the reasons why His Majesty hopes that the efforts to improve leadership qualities must not be neglected.
This includes not only the working knowledge but also the absorption of noble values of a leader in a group.
The monarch lauded the efforts that have been taken towards enhancing the spiritual aspect of the defence personnel through academic programmes and the establishment of the Military Religious Department.
His Majesty also welcomed the plan of the Ministry of Defence to establish a Performance Optimisation Centre that will use the latest scientific knowledge and technology to optimise soldiers' performance through several methods.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin |

Closer Look At Inner Kampong
By Za'im Zaini & Azaraimy HH
Tutong - Within the pristine remote areas in the Tutong District, with its lush green jungle, lays beauty and predicament.
For some the names of the villages are quite strange and probably never heard of by the less adventurous.
Kg Keranching, Kg Kebubuk and Wasai Bedanu may sound `foreign' to some but surprisingly they are only a drive away.
The Weekend went in for a closer look; to villages in Kiudang, the famous Tasek Merimbun, Kg Bukit to view its efforts in preserving a cultural heritage, Kg Keranching to get to Ulu Tutong and finally to Kg. Lamunin.
Poor road conditions, flash floods and communication problems were just some of the problems the villagers had to bear with in their daily lives.
Some road works in Kiudang to Mungkom have been abandoned and some are also still in progress, especially the road of Kg Batang Mitus and Kiudang.
To top it off, the worrying problem - the illegal poachers on our national treasures, the precious timbers - is just what these villagers have to endure.
Some of the pristine and lush jungle areas being a stone's throw away from a neighbouring country make easy prey for poachers to easily penetrate the nation's border and take timber from the country.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
