BGC as part of its Social Investment (SI) initiative collaborated with the Jerudong Consultative Council (MPK) for a cemetery associated project at the Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kinapahan, Jerudong on Friday, 4 December 2020.

Under the project, BGC installed a brand-new rainwater harvesting tank for the main purpose of providing access to clean water for the community visiting the cemetery. Due to the location of the cemetery on top of a hill, a conventional water source was not available, and members of the community had to carry heavy bottles of water up to the top. The new installation will provide ease and improve the safety of visitors.

After the handover, a cleaning campaign was also held, supported by BGC volunteers and members of the Jerudong community.

A big THANK YOU to all volunteers for taking the time to participate in the recent International Coastal Cleanup event held at Jerudong Beach on Saturday, 19th September 2020.

Your participation that day made a difference, and hopefully will instil awareness among us all on the importance of disposing rubbish responsibly.

The collaborative event between BGC and the Maritime and Port Authority of Brunei Darussalam (MPABD) was held in conjunction with World Maritime Day and saw almost 200 participants from various organisations and schools gathering on the beach collecting a whopping 1.1 tonnes of trash.

Protection of the environment is everyone’s responsibility so, let’s work together to keep our beaches clean for all of us and our future generations to enjoy.

We hope to see you again next year!
