Bandar Seri Begawan - Megamas Training Company Sdn Bhd has once again put Brunei on the world map. This time, it is by participating in the recent four-day 3rd Environment Exhibition and Conference in Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates.

"Sheikh Mansour Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Presidential Affairs, formally opened the event participated by 338 exhibitors from 41 countries," reported Megamas yesterday.

It was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President.

Megamas described it as the most important exhibition and conference on environment in the entire Middle East, North Africa as well as the sub-continent and built effectively on the success of its two previous editions in 2001 and 2003.

"It provides the ideal platform for exhibitors to exchange experiences and information as well as to exhibit related best practices of the public and private sectors," stated the company in a press statement.

The UAE considers environmental protection and development a cornerstone of its development policy.

Tills exhibition and conference was a reflection of its keenness to participate actively in the international efforts of finding sustainable solutions to environmental issues.

There were official pavilions on France, Germany, the Netherlands, UK, US, India, Iran and Brunei, stated the company.

"Megamas was the sole exhibitor from Brunei and, as such, was proud to be part of international efforts to achieve sustainable development and forging close cooperation between the different countries," it added.

Mr Peter Lammiman, Training Manager, who attended Enviro 2005, said, "I am very impressed by the quality of the exhibition, exhibitors and range of products that the UAE is exposed to. Brunei has a lot in common with the UAE in terms of oil.

It is also nice to be a company from Southeast Asia bringing technology to the Middle East, whereas we normally looked to the West for it."

Megamas conduct five environmental courses, including an Induction to Environmental Management; Environmental Awareness; Introduction to Environment Management System Auditing and ISO14,000; Environment Impact Assessments and Waste Management. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
