Belait - The Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) have carried out yet another charity activity in their efforts to assisting Kampong residents in the Sultanate.

The commander of the Royal Brunei Services Force, Pehin Datu Colonel Haji Mohammad Yusof handed over the project to a representative from the director of Planning and Estate Management Department at the Ministry of Education, Awang Anuar.

The $6,000 jetty for the primary school was one of the ongoing projects of the Third Battalion of the Royal Brunei Land Forces. The construction of the 45-meter long jetty took 10 days to complete with 15 members of the assault pioneer from the Third Battalion of the Royal Brunei

With the new jetty, residents of Kampong Bukit Wawat, especially the pupils can enjoy a more comfortable and safer facility when compared with the old jetty.

According to the kampong residents, during the downpour season or high tide, the water level from the river overflows, submerging the old jetty.

Most of the pupils studying at the primary school come from several kampongs in the rural areas, such as Kampong Pengkalan Siong and Kampong Merudi where boats are the only means of transportation. -- Courtesy of Radio Television Brunei
