By Za'im Zaini

Bandar Seri Begawan - A delegation of 25 officers and staff from the Information Department, Prime Minister's Office, made a working visit to their counterparts at the Sabah Information Department from September 5-8.

The group was led by the Acting Assistant Director of Information, Hj Yussof bin Hj Ladi.

The visit was aimed at improving the level of services provided by the Information Department, by exposing its officers and staff to the duties and activities of the Malaysian state's Information Department.

The trip also provided the officers and staff from both departments to interact while exchanging ideas on conduct of their duties.

The visitors first stopped at the headquarters of the Sabah Information Department in Kota Kinabalu, where they were welcomed by the Director of Sabah Information, Hj Almain Ajirul. Soon after, they heard a briefing by Hj Mohd Taib bin Hj Ubah, the department's Assistant Director of Community Branch, BESTARI.

A question and answer session was also held.

The Brunei delegates also visited Kota Marudu for a closer look at the Komuniti BESTARI programme initiated by Sabah Information Department. The programme is aimed at boosting the frontlines of grass-root leaders, while disseminating information to the Sabah communities.

The visitors also had the chance to visit the School of Arts Studies as well as the Social Science School at University Malaysia Sabah, and learned about academic programmes available that are relevant to activities implemented by the Brunei Information Department.

Other activities organised during the visit included a dinner and a friendly bowling competition to further strengthen the relationship between the two sides. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
