    SSEAYP 2008- Brunei National Leader, Representative of Host Families and OBSC


    Bersatu would like to congratulate the newly selected National Leader for this year's Brunei Darussalam contingent for SSEAYP. She is Norhayati Haji Noordin. Ms Norhayati is the Deputy President II (National) of Bersatu and is a BPY from 1987.

    She currently works for Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) and is also the Assistant Treasurer for the Brunei-Japan Friendship Association (BJFA).

    One of her outstanding achievements in the SSEAYP world includes being awarded the SSEAYP International Award in 2007 at the 19th SIGA in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

    As usual this year, Brunei's host families will also be represented at this year's SSEAYP. The purpose is to promote further understanding of the SSEAYP among the host families in each contry and to encourage the smooth operation of homestay program by inviting them to Japan as a token of gratitude for the years of hosting PYs in their homes. This year Brunei will be represented by Hajah Raimah binti Haji Awang Mohamad (L) of Kampong Mulaut and Hajah Rafiah binti Haji Akop (R) of Kampong Beribi.


















    Hajah Raimah and Hajah Rafiah have regularly hosted SSEAYP PYs from 1986 and 1989 respectively. The Host family representatives will fly with the BPY 2008 to Tokyo on the 21st October and will fly back to Brunei on 25th October.







    And finally the Representative of the Alumni Association to the On Board Ship Conference (OBSC) for SI Brunei Darussalam : Md Nazriman bin Hj Awg Abd Rahman. Md Nazriman was elected to the Executive Committee of Bersatu last year and serves as the Deputy Treasurer for Session 2007-2009. He was a PY from batch 2005. Md Nazriman is a teacher at SMJA Secondary School in Bandar Seri Begawan and teaches Japanese as one of his subjects. The OBSC representative will join the PYs on the Nippon Maru at Manila Port on 4th December and will return to their respective countries from Tokyo on 13th December. The OBSC provides a venue for the alumni associations to share one another's post program projects, to discuss ongoing and prospective collaborative activities, to introduce SI to the current PYs and to prepare the publication of SSEAYP News (SI's newsletter).

    Bersatu night at Pusat Belia with SSEAYP 2008

    Thanks to everyone who came to Pusat Belia on Monday 18th August to help out with the orientation of the new BPYs.

    The evening started with a short introduction from Deputy President I of Bersatu, Ahanapi BPY88. The remainder of the evening included a presentation from Tasha and Chris of BPY07 to share tips and hints about the programme to the PYs.

    Then everyone broke into different groups according to their committees to give advice to the new PYs.

    Hopefully the new PYs got a good taste of our extended SSEAYP Family and of what's to come.

    The day before, BPY06 and BPY07 prepared a little exhibition for the new PYs also at the Pusat Belia.

    For more pictures check out BPY07's excellent and incredibly up-to-date blog here.
