Take proper precautions on roads to avoid accidents

Tutong - Road safety is the responsibility of everyone and if everyone takes proper road precautions, there is a higher chance of avoiding road accidents including road deaths, said a senior official from the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF).

Senior Superintendent Pg Kamaluddin Pg Setia Raja Pg Hj Jaya, deputy director of the Investigations and Traffic Control Unit (JSKLL), was speaking as the guest of honour during the official launching of the Kekal Motorcycle Club at the Tutong Community Hall yesterday.

"The road is everyone's property, including pedestrians, and anyone who uses the road is not exempted from its rules and regulations," he said.

The officer noted that a majority of accidents occur because of carelessness from the driver and in this context he urged the riders to reduce their speed whenever they're in areas with speed limits, schools or narrow roads. He also noted that they should slow down whenever the road is wet because of the rain.

"It is advised that bikers as well as their passengers make it a habit of wearing helmets that are fit for safety by the Land Transport Department and not just because the helmets look fancy."
He further warned motorcyclists who modified their bikes until they produce sounds so loud that they were disturbing public peace, could he considered as an offence to the law.

"Bikers who like to convoy should also be warned as these kinds of activities not only jammed up the roads and distract other drivers but they could also be very dangerous."

The officer advised that any clubs or associations that plan to organise convoy visits should inform the Investigations and Traffic Control Unit, RBPF, to prepare the necessary safety precautions beforehand. He emphasised that convoys to assist weddings were strictly prohibited.
"This is to avoid an unfortunate event from happening as well as to avoid blocking other vehicles that are using the road," he said.

At the event, membership certificates were presented to Kekal members and certificates of appreciation were handed out to those who participated in the event, including private companies who had their motorcycle products on display.

A souvenir was also presented to the guest of honour who was then brought to observe a mini motorcycle exhibition organised by the club.

The club was established early 2006 but due to other commitments and clashing events, were unable to officially launch in until today, according to Hj Md Yussof Hj Siput, the club president for 2007-2009.

Currently, the club boasts more than 95 members. Among the activities they had organised included several expeditions throughout Borneo.

The club hopes to uphold motorbike safety as well as promote unity among motorcycle enthusiasts in the country.

An annual general meeting was also held later in the afternoon to discuss positions in the club for 2009-2011 as well as various activities and events that they plan to organise. -- Adapted By Courtesy of The Brunei Times

Adventurous Couple Returns Home

Bandar Seri Begawan - Adventurous couple Norhayati Abu Bakar and her Austrian husband Harun Kurt Eichbauer finally returned home yesterday morning after embarking on a 13-month expedition that covered 52,137km of land in Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia, crossing some 37 countries on their Toyota Land Cruiser. They were greeted at the Sungai Tujoh Control Post by Deputy Minister of Industry and Primary Resources, Dato Paduka Hj Hamdillah Hj Abd Wahab, as well as a fleet of vehicles and motorbikes. It marked the fourth completed expedition for 41-year-old Norhayati, who told the Bulletin yesterday that she also had the opportunity to perform the Umrah together with her husband, and taking in the beauty of Mecca and Jeddah had to be the entire journey's most memorable experience. Among the challenges they faced were the 50-degree heat in Sudan, a desert storm and an unforeseen glitch while trying to cross the border from Loas to Cambodia. The whole journey cost over $100,000, including their vehicle's maintenance and modifications, fuel consumption, accommodation, ferry fees and visas, among others. About 65 per cent of the expedition was self-financed but the couple acknowledged the generous contributions from local companies in the form of cash and services. They also noted the warmth and generosity of countries like Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Pakistan and Myanmar that waived their travel visas and sponsored their accommodation. Some of the countries and regions they covered in the expedition included Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Iran, Pakistan, Nepal, Yemen, India and Turkey, among others. The couple was also pleased to fly the Brunei flag along their route to promote the Sultanate, while also handing out flyers and brochures to many curious people who wanted to know about the country. The first leg of their journey that covered Africa and Austria was held from April to October last year, while its second part to 25 European, Middle East and Asian countries began in December and ended in Kuching. Norhayati added that she hopes to inspire and motivate Bruneian women with the expedition, urging them to explore possibilities and achieve all manners of things they may previously have thought impossible. They made history by being the first Muslim couple from Brunei to complete a journey crossing South Africa, North Africa, Europe, the Middle East, India and Southeast Asia on a four-wheel drive. Their past expeditions included promoting the Visit Brunei campaign in 1999 by travelling 21,000km through Europe, Middle East and North Africa, as well as leading five Bruneian women to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to mark the Visit Brunei Year in 2001. Norhayati added that her husband remains her best travel companion due to his passion and understanding. If time and health permit, they are open to embark on another expedition. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
