SMARTER Gets Air-Cons From IDS
By Azaraimy HH

Bandar Seri Begawan - SMARTER Brunei, a leading centre for autism in Brunei, set up by parents of autistic children, received two split air-condition units for the centre's new extension room in Sengkurong.

IDS Sdn Bhd presented the air-condition units to SMARTER as donations to do what they could for society, the company told the Bulletin.

Meanwhile, SMARTER Brunei hopes to enter the Brunei Autistic Centre for Adults (BACA) by next month.

Its President, Malai Hj Abdullah Malai Hj Othman, said that SMARTER is optimistic about the future, which is not just to care for autistic people, but also to provide a platform where the autistics can train themselves to be independent.

Malai Hj Abdullah said, "That's why we are planning to set up companies, where the manpower will comprise autistic people, so that they can have jobs."

He said at the moment, they are at the planning stage to set up three companies, handling services for airconditioners, motor vehicles and premise cleaning.

"These businesses will be headed by parents to make sure that the management understands and cares for these autisitic employees.

"Other businesses in mind include laundry services.

"The centre is not stagnant, in fact, it is growing, the children are growing into adults, and we soon need to provide them not only with the required skills but actual jobs." -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
