By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - Four students from Malaysia arrived here Sunday to partake in the annual 'Pantun Remaja MoU RTB/RTM 2004' hosted by Pelangi Network 91.4.

Two education officers accompanied the four Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) delegates.

By the evening, the Selangor students were introduced and handed over to their respective foster parents in Brunei.

The home stay activity aims to help Malaysian students understand the culture and lifestyle of Brunei.

In a short speech, Hj Mohd Hussain Abdul Rahman, RTB Head of Corporate Affairs, said that this is the third time 'Pantun Remaja MoU RTB/RTM' has been organised.

Previously, it was held in Genting Highlands and Langkawi, where Bruneian students had a memorable time in Malaysia, as well as a good exchange of 'Pantun.'

Among the activities lined-up for RTM delegates are trip to the water village, and a courteous visit to Pusat Ehsan in Kg Bengkurong.

The exchange programme between RTB and RTM aims to further enhance working relations between both TV broadcasting stations, and to entice youths into taking an active role in sustaining the culture, which includes `Pantun.'.

Nor Adila Binti Said, one of the four students, expressed mixed emotions about being placed in the care of foster parents. Experiencing happiness, fear, excitement and a wee bit of nervousness, this first-timer to Brunei feels the people here are very friendly.
