Company Responds To Court Cooling System Story

Bandar Seri Begawan - Referring to our story `Sweating it out in Brunei High Court' published on December 7, Borneo Air Conditioning and Engineering Sdn Bhd has sent the following response:

"We refer to your article ‘Sweating it out in Brunei High Court' in BB December 7 by Ignatius Stephen.

Borneo Air Conditioning and Engineering Sdn Bhd is the air conditioning maintenance contractor at the above premises since May 2003. We would like to point out the inaccuracies as reported in the article.

1. The air conditioning plant at the High Court premises is operating in good condition.

2. The cooling tower has not gone bust as reported. Otherwise there would be no air conditioning at the premise for the next few weeks.

3. The Jalan Tutong area around the High Court was affected by a power failure in the late morning. This can be verified with the electrical department.

4. The power supply was reinstated about 12 pm. Unfortunately the air conditioning plant is not able to provide immediate cool air to the building. The plant requires some time to start up.

5. Our technician has not been approached for comments. Neither are they authorised to provide public comment.

6. As pointed out by your writer, the previous report some months ago on the air conditioning plant breakdown was also inaccurately reported.

The only agreeable fact in the report was the atmosphere .is unbearable in the Courtroom without air conditioning.

We hope the above clarification would be published in full as to correct the factual errors contained in your report. - Collin Cheah General Manager -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
