By H Bat & Zai

Bandar Seri Begawan - Some 61 army cadets from 21 high schools all over the country attended the three-day 1/2008 Promotion Course Series that began April 18 and each of them was officially promoted yesterday in a marching and closing ceremony held at the Padang Kawad Askar Simpanan Melayu Islam Beraja Brunei (ASMDB).

The courses covered first aid, firearms and counselling that need to be completed before they can be qualified to move up from Soldadu to Lance Corporal, Lance Corporal to Corporal and Corporal to Sergeant.

The event's guest of honour, ASMDB's Commanding Officer Lt Col Mohammad Ismaon Hj Zainie, was on hand to present the course participants with their promotions.

Yesterday's ceremony commenced with a recital of the Surah al-Fatihah, followed by a speech from the guest of honour, who congratulated the cadets.

According to the guest of honour, a lot of improvements have been seen since the cadet army's formation back in 1971, particularly at the Ministry of Education and ABDB.

Such improvements, he added, also require some adjustments. Every organisation must have capable members to handle its respective tasks and among the traits needed is leadership. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
