PPPMB Urges Members To Avoid Corruption
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - The president of the Federation of Brunei Malay Entrepreneurs (PPPMB) called on members not to indulge in corruption, in their haste to secure projects.

This call is in line with His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam's titah to have zero tolerance on corrupt practices.

In his welcoming speech at an executive committee and presidential advisory council meeting held at the Royal Brunei Golf Club in Berakas last Saturday afternoon, PPPMB president, Awg Hj Osman Hj Omar, said the survival of a population depends upon the commitment for reform and perseverance in fighting corruption.

"Without such struggle, a nation will enter a declining process, with loss of credibility, strength, honour and respect. It may also lose identity, character and personality.

"Corrupt practices will instill fear in foreign investors from investing in this country."

He urged members to be sincere and carry out business activities in good faith towards supporting the Sultanate's National Development Plan (RKN) 2007 to 2012.

"The federation proposes the setting-up of an entrepreneurship ministry, or at least an agency, mainly to support businessmen and their commercial activities in this country," he said. He stated that the federation will be joining the investment and trade delegation of the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources to Kuching, Sarawak, from March 24 to 27. The trade journey will then continue to Pontianak, West Kalimantan. Members who are interested in joining the trade and investment delegation may contact Hj Yusof Tahlil at 8823934. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
