By Huraizah Ahmad

Bandar Seri Begawan - Professor David Bellamy, a leading conservationist and documentary presenter from the UK, yesterday made a surprise visit to the International School Brunei (ISB) during the school's special Chinese New Year Assembly.

Professor Bellamy, who made a surprise entrance while hiding under the head of a Lion dance prop, was warmly greeted by excited students and staff members of ISB.

"I am very happy to be back here in beautiful Brunei, to be surrounded by lush green tress in pristine condition and the, breath-taking scenery. I am so pleased to know that since my last visit, the ISB community has actively worked together to contribute towards their Million Trees Project in various ways. It is always delightful to see young people getting involved and caring for the environment and pressing world issues. The commendable support given by local businesses to this student conference is indicative of the community and country's awareness of the importance of investing in today's youth," he said.

Professor Bellamy first came to Brunei in March 2007 as a special invited guest speaker at ISB's Borneo Global Issues Conference V alongside 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Professor Wangari Maathai, addressing nearly 300 secondary students from Brunei and the Southeast Asian region.

This year's upcoming ISB BGIC VI will remain high profile, hosting two celebrities from the Animal Planet Channel - Monty Halls and Dr Allison Cronin.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
