OH..MY.. GOD!!!!: Now.. where are you????You big and bitchy mouth? Fancy talking about other people's wrongdoing when the fact is that your father and brothers are much more worse than Hj Shadoon or Peter Wong put together!! Now tell us more about people's faults..it might ring a bell!!  Anonymous 21.11.2001...BRAVO to you!! You really thought that your research work was very good when in fact it was NOT!!!! You may be right about those Graduates Trainees not being paid and that Foreign Consultant who filed a report!!!! Now what you failed to find out was the other side of the true story! You should be more neutral next time or may be more brilliantly organised with your research so that we wouldn't have to laugh behind your back next time..like it is now!! Let us give you a few advice.. LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP...initially, Think Before You Write!! Reliable 22.11.2001
RoadRage: Been living in Brunei for some years, I must say that vehicles don't kill. It is what behind the steering wheel that does the killing. Undoubtedly drivers need to control the art of speed. Educated driver will drive sensibly than the ignorant. So you fellow drivers, please control yourself.  DT dave_0168@hotmail.com 27.09.2001
Advertise: Honestly I get fed up reading your news because, all the advertisers are mostly covering it, why don’t you put all ads in one page like www.kumudam.com  ,,, c'mon be strategic, it's so dead site at all!!! think for a change not all those big ads are mostly seen, why don’t you put banners on line instead of news online??? If that’s the case. gwendeline casco gc@pacific.sg.net 26.09.2001

Let's us say a prayer: Hi fellow py's. Just got the news of the death of Akiko Shinohara (AKO) in Brunei during the Ship program and was saddened by the news.  I had a chance to get to know her after the SIGA 2001 Thailand and she was keeping in touch with me on the this year program.  She was very excited and was looking forward to be on board Nippon Maru again, just like many of us.  Let's pray for her and wish her to be in a better world.  I will miss her and I am sure all of us will miss her as well. Pass this around to all fellows py's around the region and let the spirits of SSEAYP live on together with AKO Chan, she will be happy to know that she will always live in the heart of this spirit.  AKO Chan, keep smiling. Victor Yeong vikthor@pacific.net.sg 25.09.2001
SSEAYP 2001: I would like so send my deepest condolence to the victim on the Ship for the South Est Asia Youth Programme (2001). It was so sad for us to hear of what had happened to our SSEAYP Family. Muhamad Noor, ex-py99, Singapore. Muhamad Noor Hasan o_corner@pacific.net.sg 25.09.2001

Our prayers go out to them: We are most completely shocked to hear about the tragic accident.  We could not believe that such a terrible thing like this will forever mar the beautiful memories we have of SSEAYP.  To the families and loved ones of those that perished, our prayers and sincerest condolences and to all those who are recuperating in the hospital, specially, our dear Grace, our thoughts are with you.  Get well soon.  To the rest of the SSEAYP 2001 community, may you have a safe journey.

I was saddened to hear the news about the incident. Do keep your spirit strong. All the SSEAYP family will always be with you. Herman (Singapore XPY 94) herman94@sseayp.org 24.09.2001
shocked: It was heart-breaking news to hear about the accident. No matter which year you participated, each and everyone of us are like one big family members.
Participating Youths will surely remember the cheerful face of Ms Akiko Shinohara who was the OBSC for Japan back in 1999. Now we will surely miss her especially those whose lives were touched by her strong character.
On behalf of Participating Youths in 1999, I would like to express our sincere condolence to the family members who lost their loved ones from this accident.
Love, SHAIFUL Singapore PY99. shaiful khairi shighful99@sseayp.org 24.09.2001
Beating the Redlight: Never try beating the red light! The bus driver had his last chance to beat the red light. These bus drivers have to be trained! Hope Grace is all right. Please convey my message to her that we are praying for her quick recovery and hope she returns to Singapore soon to be with her family who must be extremely worried for her. (The 10 year old brother of Nadir who is also in the ship Nippon Maru). Abbas Zafar abbaszafar@hotmail.com 24.09.2001
Drive Carefully: I think the drivers of buses should drive carefully! The Speed Limit should be at most 90km/h, and imagine the grief of the families of the dead. Speeding is the no.1 road killer. Prevent it! Abbas Zafar abbaszafar@hotmail.com 24.09.2001
Need improvements before Tele-Medicine: It is a good idea to have Tele-Medicine in Brunei Darussalam but before starting these modern things, the authorities should improve a lot of other hospital functions. For example:
1) Medicine supply. Common phenomenon to observe the necessary medicines are many a time out of stock.
2) Pharmaceutical Services - Improvements in Out-Patient Pharmacy, Polyclinic Pharmacy and In-Patient Pharmacy. The country has yet to have a Satellite Pharmacy in hospitals in Brunei.
3) Need to network all the hospital services soon before Tele-medicine can be implemented.
4) Medical record system needs urgent upgrading. Ali Ahmad 16.09.2001
Amedeo Bankruptcy: Be it you are overseas and fear of returning to Brunei, you are still liable to stand trial in a court of law.  The Prince returned and faced the court, why aren't his cronies?  These people are the true gold diggers of our nation.  Our court of law should not just only insist on Danny Wong stand trial via video conferencing, if you have a part in the demise of the company, you should stand trail and face the court of law in person. After all, Danny Wong knew in the first place what and where Amedeo was heading for.  He bloody well knew how to reap the profits, but when the business failed, he cowardly runs into hiding!!!!  How can we let irresponsible people like this be leaders in our business community?? Joel Ng joel65675@yahoo.com 15.09.2001
Confiscate all Danny Wong’s assets and hang him: Dear All Bruneians,
It is evident that Danny Wong is mishandling his authority. He should return or Brunei government should confiscate all his asset and put him away for the rest of his life. What I don't understand is how can a low life like Danny Wong can be consultant or even a MD to any company? johnny Wong j_wong@yahoo.com 15.09.2001
Empire Hotel: I have stayed a few times in The Empire and it is absolutely fantastic!! Besides the fact that the hotel has not many guests and I was the only person enjoying the pool, it is a magnificent place.
Unfortunately the PR for this resort is not organised it seems, no publicity is made and no wonder people don't know about the existence of the place!!

It would be a shame for Brunei if this place would have to close! For one's Brunei has something to offer with style!! But, why is it that the Brunei people do not use this facility to enjoy themselves...it has the best and only nice restaurants in the little country but...it is so sad to see that there is more staff (the most friendly I ever met) than visitors!

I hope that the head of the country realises that it would be a shame for his country and himself if this story would get the headlines in many papers again. The image as "the riches country in the world" has long gone and it is time for change!

It is time that the Sultanate starts to rethink their policies if they are willing to attracted tourists!! And make it into an attractive place!!! Why not look at other Muslim places like Dubai, where tourism is booming because people feel welcome and are not put up with plenty of restrictions before they get out of the plane!

Brunei could be a great holiday destination but it needs to change!! This does not mean that it cannot keep it's own culture but it means that it starts to think how it can become a happy place where people feel Free! Ann Kaelen happysnake@hotmail.com 06.09.2001
Telecom: In Singapore and Malaysia the Telecom is privatised, so the Corporations and the Management take criticisms seriously so as to improve the service to the public. I sincerely welcome this change and hope that will happen in Brunei as well. Haji Kassim Chia ctcia@singnet.com.sg 07.08.2001
