Career Dialog at ITB

Local job seekers are encouraged to visit the Career Dialogue Exhibition, organised by Institute Technology Brunei (ITB), to be held on January 22 from 8.30am to 4pm.

Dyg Hjh Sariani, Student Welfare Officer of ITB, said the event is a yearly programme of ITB.

It has received encouraging response from ITB graduates as well as job seekers and graduates from foreign countries.

The exhibition has attracted eight government agencies and 30 private establishments including multinational companies. This will be the biggest career exhibition ever organised by the campus.

"It even surpasses the number of participating agencies last year. It could have been more if we had enough logistics, manpower and suitable exhibition areas.

"The response is far better than last year probably because ITB has been upgraded to university status which was announced by His Majesty a few months ago," she said.

She said the event is meant to promote the 38 participating agencies and to attract graduates as well as to identify prospective and quality human resources that could benefit their establishments.

The one-day exhibition will act as a platform for ITB graduates and local job seekers to find jobs that are suitable for their qualifications.

Apart from that the dialogue will also act as a link between the participating organisations and members of the public and job seekers. It will be an opportunity for them to have informal and open interaction and dialogue with the employers.

The Welfare Officer has welcomed graduates, job seekers and members of public to attend the event which will be participated by government agencies such as Royal Brunei Armed Forces, Royal Brunei Police Force, Fire and Rescue Department, Anti-Corruption Bureau, Prisons Department, Scholarship Section, Ministry of Education, Labour Department and Workers Provident Fund or TAP.

The graduates and job seekers could also scrutinise career opportunities available in multinational and private companies including BSP, BLNG, Brunei Gas Carriers Sdn Bhd, BSM, BAG Networks Sdn Bhd, Royal Brunei Technical Services, Schlumberger WTA (M) Sdn Bhd, Baiduri Bank, HRD Services, TELBRU, British Council, The Empire Hotel and Country Club, Standard Chartered Bank, SKSWoods, Jobs R Us, DST, BIBD, HAHD Engineering & Associates, MASHHOR Group of Companies, AIA, Baker Hughes (M) Sdn Bhd, KCA DEUTAG Drilling Company, Smith Bits Services, Joffren Omar Co Sdn Bhd, Geoservices South East Asia, Weatherford Brunei Sdn Bhd, PY Oiltools Sdn Bhd, PTAS-ITS Sdn Bhd, Riyan Cameron (B) Sdn Bhd and Amrtur Corp Sdn Bhd.

Graduates and job seekers are advised to bring along all relevant documents, passport size photo, CV, and photocopy of their identity cards as there will be walk-in interviews organised by the participating agencies during the exhibition.

The exhibition is open to the public including local job seekers and school students who wish to further their studies at ITB or foreign universities.

Liga Perdana Brunei tidak terjejas - AFC

Oleh: Amnri Haji Zainuddin

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Jumaat - Berita baik untuk pemain dan peminat bola sepak tempatan - Liga Perdana Brunei tidak terjejas dengan pembatalan pendaftaran Persatuan Bola Sepak Brunei Darussalam (BAFA) dan boleh dilangsungkan pada bila-bila masa.

Perkara ini dimaklumkan oleh Pegawai Media Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC), Lazarus Rokk ketika dihubungi Media Permata di Kuala Lumpur, petang ini.

Perkhabaran itu sekurang-kurangnya merawat duka daripada episod hitam yang menimpa badan induk bola sepak Brunei itu setelah rayuannya agar pembatalan pendaftarannya diketepikan ditolak oleh Kementerian Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri Rabu lalu.

Namun apa yang lebih dibimbangkan iaitu Brunei melalui pasukan atau kelab-kelabnya tidak dibenarkan sama sekali menyertai mana-mana pertandingan atau liga yang bernaung di bawah AFC dan Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) menjadi kenyataan.

Menurut Lazarus: "Brunei tidak boleh sama sekali menyertai atau menganjurkan mana-mana kejohanan antarabangsa kerana ia sudah pasti tertakluk kepada AFC dan FIFA. Ini memang peraturannya.

"Namun Brunei tidak ada masalah untuk meneruskan liga mereka sendiri. Dalam erti kata lain, liga bola sepaknya (Liga Perdana Brunei) boleh diteruskan seperti biasa. Malah semua aktiviti bola sepak domestik tidak terjejas dengan pembubaran BAFA. Mereka bebas meneruskan sebarang pertandingan tempatan."

Bekas Setiausaha Agung BAFA, Pengiran Haji Metussin Pengiran Metassan ketika dihubungi untuk mendapatkan komen mengenai berita baik itu berkata: "Saya tidak mahu bercakap apa-apa ketika ini. Saya akan bercakap minggu depan."

Ditanya mengenai kemungkinan persatuan bola sepak baru seperti BAFA perlu didaftarkan semula untuk membolehkan mana-mana pasukan negara bertanding di pentas antarabangsa, beliau sekali mengulangi: "Tunggu saja minggu depan."

Pihak Urus Setia Liga Perdana Brunei juga tidak mahu mengulas perkhabaran dari AFC itu.

Ini bermakna kelab elit negara, DPMM FC, yang kempunan bertarung dalam Liga Malaysia 2009 selepas disingkirkan oleh Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) ekoran kegagalan BAFA memberikan penjelasan mengenai status pembubaran mereka baru-baru ini, boleh bersaing dalam liga kebangsaan - yang tidak pasti bila akan membuka tirainya.

DPMM FC semalam mengambil keputusan menamatkan kontrak dua pemain Malaysia, Chan Win Hong dan Bobby Gonzales namun di masa yang sama mengarahkan pemain lain menjalani latihan seperti biasa.

Di sebalik berita menggembirakan itu, kedudukan Kejohanan Trofi Hassanal Bolkiah yang dijadualkan tahun depan berada dalam kekaburan kerana ia melibatkan penyertaan pasukan negara-negara ASEAN.

Pertandingan yang dilancarkan pada 2002 melibatkan pemain Bawah 21 Tahun itu dianjurkan dan secara teknikalnya diuruskan oleh Kementerian Kebudayaan, Belia dan Sukan dan BAFA dengan kerjasama Persekutuan Bola Sepak ASEAN (AFF).

Acara berprestij yang berhasrat menyahut titah Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan itu adalah untuk mendedahkan kemampuan semangat kesukanan ASEAN kepada dunia di samping memberikan peluang kepada pemain muda berentap di pentas serantau.

Sementara itu Lazarus berkata, beliau sendiri ada mendengar mengenai pembatalan pendaftaran BAFA namun enggan mengulas lanjut sebaliknya berkata hanya pihak atasan AFC boleh memberikan kenyataan berkaitan.

BAFA pada asalnya ditubuhkan pada 15 Mac 1956 di Seria dengan nama Persatuan Bola Sepak Amatur Negara Brunei (BSAFA) sebelum menjadi Persatuan Bola Sepak Amatur Brunei (BAFA). Apabila Brunei mencapai kemerdekaan pada 1984, ia ditukar kepada Persatuan Bola Sepak Brunei Darussalam sehinggalah ke hari-hari terakhir pembatalan pendaftarannya.

Well, i've been busy a lot on this month..nope..not because of work but family commitment.. yeah..last week my cousin had a wedding and tomorrow.. my other cousin is going to have a bersuruh or engagement... and then there's this one special day.. my birthday.

Yes~ MY BUFDAY, hahahahah~ i'll be 25 this year.. how time flies... i still feel like i'm stuck when i was 16.. i don't feel 25 at all... maybe i have a peterpan syndrome..huhu~ anyways.. my wish would be to be in a serious relationship..there i said it.. Yes... that's my wish.. and i hope it comes true. I'm not ashame to say it out loud.. There is this girl that i admire, but lately we haven't even talked or chat anymore.. i kinda miss her.. but anyway i wish for her happines..with whoever she's with...

I've been through a lot of bad relationship this past few years... and i've lost my self confidence in the time of healing.I've tried everything to build up my confidence..by helping others with their relationship.. i feel that i can relate with them by helping them.. instead i tend to remember all those past torn relationship..and i'm usually stressed out~ i know it sounds like alasan~ but its hard to get it over with...

I wish someone would be there for me.. wherever "she" is.
