Religious Council Presents House Key To Widow

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Brunei Religious Council yesterday turned over to the widow the house key to her new house at Simpang 66 in Kampong Bengkurong yesterday.

The new house was part of the council's responsibility of providing a proper place to stay for those who are entitled to receive aid from the tithe collection.

The widow, Dayang Hashah's dream to have a comfortable home to live in became a reality when the key was turned over to her.

The new house is not only important to her but also to her two daughters who are still schooling at primary and secondary levels.

Director of Mosques Affairs, Ministry of Religious Affairs, Dato Awang Haji Rajid, presented the house key to Dayang Hasnah.

The B$48,400 house is complete with furniture costing $1,000.

The house with an area of 104.25 square metres has three bedrooms, one living room and other facilities.

The construction of the house began last December 19 on a 0.25 acre piece of land.

The house was built with funds from the Brunei Darussalam Islamic Religious Council's tithe collection for converts.

Dayang Hasnah, who is 41, said the support from the Islamic Religious Council was very meaningful to her and her two daughters. She was thankful for the council's attention and good deeds.

One of her daughters said that in the comfort of the new house, she would be able to study harder besides performing her religious duties. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
