Melbourne Students Celebrate National Day
By Syazwana Harun

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Brunei Students Society Melbourne (BSSMeIb) organised a National Day celebration recently. The occasion took place at Winner Hall on Swanston Street.

Although the pageantry of National Day extravaganza was over, the spirit and its vigour were still reverberating elsewhere in other parts of the world.

The ceremony started with the students serenading the national anthem followed by a welcoming speech delivered by the society president, Dr Ying Yen. Present as the guest of honour was Pengiran Ayub bin Pengiran Othman, an Education Attache in Canberra who cut a cake depicting Brunei national flag.

A variety of individual performances entertained the guests with the likes of Mahyuddin Zulkipli, Kamaliah Saiful Rijal, Muneerah Hassanol, Lina Idris and Amal Liyana Yassin who belted. out their favourite songs accompanied by a talented trio of students, Fauzi Yassin, Azhan Ahmad and Arif Sablee, who played the guitar in the background.

To spice up the event, guests including in-service government officers were treated to an Indian cuisine, as well as the popular Bingka Susu' prepared by BSSMe1b's very own ‘Martha Stewart', Amalina Harun. Traditional handicraft such as 'tudung dulang' and 'tekiding' adorned the buffet table with striking colours adding up to the festive atmosphere and patriotic spirit. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
