Had they got nothing better to do? Why don't they catch people who brings in drugs or excessively amount of fruits from Malaysian boarder, and yet keep this stupid antics of stopping non-mulims for getting "non-halal" meat for their own consumption?<br /><br />CNY is near the corner, and its time to make non-muslims life a bit difficult i guess... according to my friend..<br /><br />sorry if this is "offensive", but rather than worry about things like this, the customs/religious officers (my friend couldnt tell which dept were they from), our highly paid govt servants should be looking out for more harmful items that crossed our boarder, rather than making people life hell with the long queue that already exist at the boarder...<br /><br />Religion teaches people to be nice, but ..... sigh....phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283322646904508837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25503402.post-53291796681319905022008-12-23T05:16:00.004+07:002008-12-23T05:47:56.866+07:00Fighting Corruption in BruneiEveryone knows corruption exists not only in Brunei, but also the whole wide world, not only in developing countries but in developed countries... it is the scale of corruption done that differs from one country to another country... With less FDI into Brunei and not much major private sector economy in the country cept for the oil and gas industry, corruption in Brunei can be seen as "minute" compared to other countries..<br /><br />Then again, what is wrong, is wrong...<br /><br />Everyone knows that corruption in Brunei are mostly due to the red tape that exists... and literally its all about red tapes - the opaque procedures that occur around any "procedures".<br /><br />Take, the tendering process..<br /><br />Tenders are supposed to be "open" and published by Pelita Brunei and available on the notice board of the departments' concerned. But if you look at Pelita Brunei now (the website anyway, which is not updated), there's barely any projects going around... then again, is this true?<br /><br />Then once a tender is being publish, then you have to look at the time allowed for contractors to submit the contract. Is it rationale for a contract worth over tens of millions to be estimated, can be completed in just 2 weeks? of coz... the implications are a lot here... probably a particular contract has been selected here.. hehhe...<br /><br />Then once contractors submit the tender.. then what happens? No one knows until the contract has been awarded and this may take months... 6 months to 1 year perhaps? Why is this so? How difficult is it the tender board to put out the list of the prices of the contractors have bid? why is this against the law? why is not "transparent"? why allow the "wheeling and dealing" behind the scenes?<br /><br />If the lowest contractor has been the top priority, then obviously, the performance of the said contractor must be assessed. Yet, people knows underperforming contractors are also allowed to take projects even though their other ongoing projects are delayed.<br /><br />Then consultants... using consultants are good, supposedly having the latest knowldege building and designing a particular project. Being consultants where their fee is based on the tendered project price, obviously they would recomend higher bid contractor. Mind you, you have to check the materials that they have "recomend" to use. Sometimes, it would be unreasonable to have a gold plated door handle that costs say $50 when a silver plated door handle that works perfectly as well, can cost only $20...<br /><br />Then once a project has been awarded, the contractor who won the project is not announced. It used to be published in the old newspapers on which contractor won a particular project, with the price clearly stated.... not now though... only after everything was done and "groundbreaking" ceremony starts that the price maybe announced...<br /><br />Then, incase the contractor's job is delayed, yet why is it allowed to be delayed? which organization has the power and authority to make sure they work? and if they dont work, their contact should be cancelled. yet, most contracts are allowed to remain idle for years... why?<br /><br />While ACB keeps talking about catching the corrupt regardless of creed or breed, it's a wonder why other depts are not involved in supporting ACB's aims... yes, ACB must be careful because Bruneians love to assassinate a character - get it - character assassination lah - heheh... then again, the leaves wouldnt move if there's no wind? it is based on the wise judgement of the people concern to estimate what is jealously and what is real corrupt behaviour... that is easily distinguised one probing is carefully done..<br /><br />Psssst.... wasnt it staed in the General Orders that assets of public servants must be declared?... is it practiced?<br /><br />pssst... the new ACB website looks great... BUT the statistics section is useless... why not look at the years of complaints rather than looking a just a few months of a year????phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283322646904508837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25503402.post-69154605102664606122008-10-17T08:57:00.003+07:002008-10-17T09:08:35.407+07:00Houses in Brunei?.... in 15-20 years time<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnE5ySTZc7rgRGavNxwZcBFSOwsWRxC8tncE30hCcK2soFmcSqIzSHE9-biZUSqBStKVgMjd9vSN8JzCBT9kTZGYQowVGM3uVHMecB7LgCzB6-ZZa4b5Ov6wIMcMF_2q7fAOLL4Q/s1600-h/houses.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257938606708725666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnE5ySTZc7rgRGavNxwZcBFSOwsWRxC8tncE30hCcK2soFmcSqIzSHE9-biZUSqBStKVgMjd9vSN8JzCBT9kTZGYQowVGM3uVHMecB7LgCzB6-ZZa4b5Ov6wIMcMF_2q7fAOLL4Q/s320/houses.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="justify">12,000 New Houses In 5 Yrs By Malek Hashim<br /><br />Bandar Seri Begawan - The Ministry of Development has unveiled plans for the construction of more than 12,000 housing units for the national housing needs.<br /><br />The housing units are under the Rancangan Perumahan Negara (RPN) or National Housing Scheme and Skim Tanah Kurnia Rakyat Jati (STKRJ) or Landless Indigenous Citizens Housing Scheme under the 2007-2012 National Development Plan, as well as residual housing under the previous National Development Plan.<br /><br />Also in line with national sheltering strategy, the Infill Scheme and issuing of land titles to qualified recipients have been implemented since the 1980s.

However, students on tight budgets might consider;<br /><br />1. No transport concessions for students (unless you’re Australian citizen)<br /><br />2. Rents are crazy – landlords can change and increase the rent prices every 6 months, hence students who can’t afford the rent has to move to a new place. Shifting houses is no joke because of other costs involved. Calculation of rent is different from Bribane, suffice to say, Brisbane rent calculation is cheaper compared to Melbourne.<br /><br />3. Movie are not that cheap as those who get student concession in Brisbane<br /><br />4. Internet download is based on the amount of info you downloaded! (at least still can download compared to Brunei’s e-speed la... heheh... BUT BUT can’t beat Manchester, UK where the download for anything is super SUPER super fast!)<br /><br />5. Petrol price is around A$1.55 to A$1.70 per litre<br /><br />6. Buses are not on time, worse during weekend (not that i’ve taken public transport in Brunei much, heheh). No shade on every bus stop!!! (as if it never rain!)<br /><br />7. Train tickets (where you can use for buses and trams as well) are based on Zones, not on the distance. For example, in Singapore, the charges start from where your journey starts. In Melbourne, it depends on zone. So, if you’re in Zone 1 – city and to go to Zone 2 – which is where Clayton is, you will have to buy Zone 1+2 ticket. Not cost friendly.<br /><br />8. Parking is expensive. So if you want to complain yayasan or parking bertingkat is expensive, come and try to park in Melbourne. 1 hour can cost up to $10 in the city!!!<br /><br />9. People ask for money on trains and not even ashamed of it!!<br /><br />10. Hmmm... why cant they build taller buildings outside the city? And Please... use better materials and workmanship for the construction. Baik lagi rumah yang d buat d Brunei, built by our expatriate workers atu – we haven’t thank them enough for our homes... right people??phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283322646904508837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25503402.post-47205642404788994322008-07-09T17:53:00.002+07:002008-11-14T00:27:23.614+07:00Site and Scene of St. Kilda Beach, Melbourne<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh1mPU23mojXsNSDAGwa9EvAsUp0uxb4X6LRKWUhUnxQrWKt-nD3n0OzOvRNoMvW2sfj-GdZvJ4OEMGM4k3xk-yACKtUSZaP18ieaNJcSPNvqe3A5F-McYAhoiiDteOAzR6vO3/s1600-h/DSCF2488.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220967427997914402" style="DISPLAY: block;

It must run into millions of dollars as well. If these are taken into account as well, am sure that the government can save a lot of money.<br /><br />But while saving money is most important, one do wonder that if the savings are made, will the money actually go to build or pay for the infrastructure? Why then do you hear that contractors are not paid on time? I remembered hearing that the cleaners in govt institutions were not even paid on time, and mind you, how much do these people actually earn? Sigh... so many things to "clean up" before all those saving will really benefit the whole society.<br /></div></div><br /><br /></div>phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283322646904508837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25503402.post-79242025635655624432008-05-18T11:30:00.003+07:002008-11-14T00:27:27.744+07:00Birthday Buffet at SKR...

Aziz, said financial considerations prevented the government from acceding to their requests for an increase in royalty.<br /><br />This was because any increase in royalty to the states <span style="font-weight: bold;">would eat into the 10 per cent royalty the government received from Petronas.</span><br /><br />He was replying to a supplementary question from Alexander Nanta Linggi (BN-Kapit) on whether the federal government would look into increasing its royalty from 10 per cent to 20 per cent.<br /><br />To another supplementary question from Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (PKR-Permatang Pauh), Amirsham said the formula involving royalty on oil and gas saw the government receiving 10 per cent, of which five per cent was given to the three states.<br /><center><!-- start video--> <!-- end video--> </center> To the original question from Dr Wan Azizah, Amirsham said that between 2004 and last year, Petronas paid a total of RM26.839 billion in royalty to the federal government, Sabah, Sarawak and Terengganu.<br /><br />The Federal Government received RM13.4 billion, Terengganu (RM7.3 billion), Sabah (RM1.2 billion) and Sarawak (RM4.8 billion).<br /><br />Amirsham said that based on current oil extraction methods, crude oil and oil condensates were expected to last 22 years while gas reserves would last 39 years.<br /><br />"Even though there are many years for the reserve period (oil and gas) to expire, the fact is that the country also imports oil and gas to meet some local energy needs.<br /><br />"Thus, the country is expected to be a net energy importer by 2014," Amirsham said.<br /><br />To another question, Amirsham said oil production in Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak for the financial year ending March 31, last year, stood at 241.3 million barrels of crude oil.<br /><br />Gas production was 2,081.4 billion square feet, he added.<br /><br />He said crude oil and gas products exported by the subsidiaries of Petronas were sold at current world prices whereas the price for domestic sale of gas-based products for the electrical and non-electrical sector was fixed by the government.<br /><br />------------------------------------------<br /><br />The Sabah, Sarawak and Trengganu people are angry that the Federal Government is refusing to increase the oil royalty and some bloggers mentioned that Bruneians were lucky to opt out of Malaysia when it was formed in 1963.<br /><br />Yes, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">we are forever grateful to our late and beloved Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin III</span> for his wise decisions on not to join Malaysia, otherwise, we would be one of the top 3 poorest state in Malaysia... as what is happening in the 3 oil producing states in Malaysia now.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dLK2lfL_YNcfPN4OkhNzjIOypfCwtOXu7-uGfz_f2shVqVu8QzvcecEX7fAylkN3xY7qcNi0_idtM9lkKXDGclD-Wp5Eiq5QeqjJdlZtbTGO7_ghNAcRv67c2-XiWK1BUqRf/s1600-h/SOAS3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dLK2lfL_YNcfPN4OkhNzjIOypfCwtOXu7-uGfz_f2shVqVu8QzvcecEX7fAylkN3xY7qcNi0_idtM9lkKXDGclD-Wp5Eiq5QeqjJdlZtbTGO7_ghNAcRv67c2-XiWK1BUqRf/s320/SOAS3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200393718075232626" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />After the statement from the Minister, I wonder would any <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">katak lompat</span> to Pakatan Rakyat now since Anwar Ibrahim promised to increase the oil royalty to the oil producing states???

A Chinese wise man, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Chan Chak</span> suggested that a monk must be called to appease the evil spirits.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">A spirit pacifying ceremony was carried out near the Miri river and an altar was placed. It worked and in gratitude, the local population erected a temple around <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">1913</span> near the river to honor the revered Tua Pek Kong, a god commonly worshiped by Chinese immigrants.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">During the 2nd World War, the temple was the only building in town which survive the Japanese bombings and all the Chinese who took refuge in the temple... Hmm... even the Brunei Town's Chinese temple survived the Japanese bombing... I wonder if there's any particular reason for that...<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Today, it's architecture is as magnificent as the one in Kuching's and is one of Miri's tourist attraction.<br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBgdImodbyK_pSDEC0-YW7He2Nyutj7e-1tyIBSQ0_0LG3jKWhTGP_P_xS6iYjj-i2a-qhgVFXbgnYg_YcFcaFczyG3mdr1fenI6oAs4CqAiVJizxBhlEgzUHTyxGZg54b1b4m/s1600-h/DSCF2194.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
