Needy Fisherman Gets Fishing Equipment From Religious Council

Bandar Seri Begawan – The Tithe Collection and Distribution Office of the Brunei Islamic Religious Council yesterday handed over $5,234 worth of fishing equipment to Awang Haji Narudin bin Haji Pungut, a full-time fisherman.

The fishing equipment was handed over by Awang Haji Abdul Wahab bin Haji Safar, Secretary of the Islamic Religious Council.

Awang Haji Narudin supports his wife and four children.

According to Awang Haji Narudin, his present fishing equipment is not sufficient prompting him to apply for aid from the Islamic Religious Council.

It is hoped the fishing equipment he has received will help him to support his family for the future.

Aid distribution is part of the efforts by Tithe Collection and Distribution Office to help those who wish to better their standard of living through their own efforts.

In 2004, the Brunei Islamic Religious Council distributed over $1,363,000 proceeds from tithe collection to those in need throughout the four districts. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
