MEMBERS of the Lions Club of Bandar Seri Begawan (Lions Club BSB) donated BND500 to the Society for the Management of Autism Related issues in Training, Education and Resources (SMARTER) Brunei Autism Centre for Adults (BACA) in Jalan Muara on Thursday.

Lions Club BSB President Sunil Ramchandani presented the cheque to CEO of SMARTER Brunei Malai Haji Abdullah bin Malai Haji Othman.

The club members were briefed on the centre’s activities and taken on a quick tour to observe the project areas and facilities at the centre.

Malai Haji Abdullah emphasised that the centre uses assistive devices to help autistic students to navigate their daily life activities. The centre’s goal is to teach students how to co- exist with family members at home and with the community.

The centre uses recycled material to create products that can be used as packaging material, Hari Raya gift cards and other reusable items, he added.

Sunil was delighted to collaborate with SMARTER BACA in raising awareness on recycling unwanted products and goods, by encouraging club members to donate used clothes and household equipment to the centre.

Malai Haji Abdullah thanked the Lions Club BSB for its generosity and expressed concern on making the centre sustainable, as donations have dwindled and the centre is barely staying afloat.

The Lions Club BSB is a member of Lions Club International, the largest service organisation in the world with 1.4 million members worldwide. The club is dedicated to serving the community through its five service areas namely: hunger, vision, environment, diabetes and paediatric cancer. However, in general the clubs motto is ‘We Care’ and it has been actively serving the community for the past 49 years since it was first established in November 1970.

THE finals for the Society for the Management of Autism Related issues in Training, Education and Resources’ (SMARTER) Brunei first-ever Charity Bowling event was held at the Grand Seria Bowling Centre yesterday.

Themed ‘Let’s BOWL (Be Optimistic With Love) For Autism’, the charity event was organised in partnership with United Architects of the Philippines (Brunei Chapter) and the Pinoy Bowlers Club with the support of the Filipino Association in Brunei Darussalam.

Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Major General (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Awang Haji Aminuddin Ihsan bin Pehin Orang Kaya Saiful Mulok Dato Seri Paduka Haji Abidin was the guest of honour.

In his opening speech, SMARTER Brunei President Malai Haji Abdullah bin Malai Haji Othman said that he had been looking forward to such an activity which prioritises the involvement of the whole family and meets the centre’s ‘Safety, Suitability and Serenity’ motto.

“Because of the turnout to our first bowling event, we will definitely be making the next event bigger,” he said. “This event is actually a follow up to and continuation of the World Autism Awareness Day 2019 celebration. Such events are great for the National Vision 2035 goal of strengthening the family institution and promoting a healthy lifestyle, as well as to foster an inclusive and autism-friendly society.”

​

Twenty bowlers from across the country – who managed to squeeze past the preliminary rounds of the competition which began in early April – bowled it out against one another for the chance to be crowned champion in a gripping event held in the morning.

William Cabotage from the Pinoy Bowlers Club emerged as champion of the mini tournament after shaking off the spirited challenge of Pengiran Sofidzan bin Pengiran Haji Masri from the Telbru Bowlers, the two bowlers neck-and-neck with each other all the way and even tied with each other at one point with a scratch score of 554.

Finishing the event behind the top two bowlers in ‘second’ place was Siti Zubaidah binti Haji Mahbub from the Brunei Muara Bowling Association (PBBM) with a final scratch score of 553.

The top four bowlers of the event were presented with trophies by the guest of honour.

The remaining finalists were also handed medals to mark their participation in the event.

The guest of honour and other guests also received certificates of appreciation.
