By Syed Rory Malai Hassan

Bandar Seri Begawan - More than 150 students, teachers and parents gathered at Universiti Brunei Darusssalam (UBD) Mosque yesterday for an early morning of aerobics and walkathon session held in commemoration of the Hijrah new year 1429.

Organised by UBD's Religious and Spirituality Unit, Student Affairs Section and the University Mosque's 2008M/1429H al-Furqan Education Class committee, the event was held at the mosque's parking lot.

Dean of Student Affairs, Dr Saiful Azmi Hj Husain, was among the participants of the event which attracted members of the campus community and the public alike.

The event, held for the 12th year in running, was organised by the committee as a means of glorifying and showing appreciation for the coming of the Hijrah new year 1429 with the campus community, members of the public and students of the guidance classes.

The objective of the event, among others, was to provide participants with a basic platform for the shaping and developing of Insan Syumul within the Islamic community at UBD.

The event also aimed at strengthening the close relations among the campus community, members of the public and the campus administration body through its religious and spirituality unit, teachers, students and committee members of the al-Quran education guidance classes of UBD mosque.

Events and activities of this nature provide the organisers with a foundation for building a support system within the community and members of the public towards the realisation of UBD's mission which is empowering its services to the community.

The event which began around 8am, started off with a reading of the Surah al-fatihah and Doa Selamat which was then followed by a brisk aerobics session and a short walkathon around the campus. -- Courtesy of The Brunei Times
