Thursday, November 13, 2008
A UNIVERSITY of Malaya alumni will be formed in Brunei to create a legal channel for the alumni to organise social welfare facilities.
The university's Brunei chapter will also see more community programmes and the development of ummah (Muslim community), the development of education, economy, culture and sports as well as a continuous relationship with the university, said Hj Azis Hj Nayan, an alumni member.
Organised for former students of the university at the Malaysian High Commission at Jln Kebangsaan last night, Hj Azis was speaking at a gathering to strengthen affliations between the veteran and young former students of the university.
Former student of the university, Minister of Education Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Lela Dato Seri Setia Hj Abdul Rahman Dato Setia Hj Mohamed Taib said that the gathering was organised to reach a mutual agreement on the establishment of the University of Malaya Alumni-Brunei Chapter as a legal and recognised association.
Malaysian High Commissioner Dato' Ku Jaafar Ku Shaari said that the gathering was held to gather the university's former students and give graduates the opportunity to be nostalgic and reminisce about studying at the university.
Also present at the gathering were Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Pehin Orang Kaya Setia Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Dr Hj Ahmad Hj Jumat, Minister of Communications Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Kerna Dato Seri Setia Hj Abu Bakar Hj Apong and Deputy Minister of Education Pg Dato Seri Setia Dr Hj Mohammad Pg Hj Abd Rahman.
