“The ones who have believed, emigrated, and striven in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allah. And it is those who are the attainers (of success).” (At-Tawbah 9:20).

On behalf of BGC Management and staff, we wish all our Muslim colleagues, friends, and families a blessed Maal Hijrah 1444 🌙

May Allah keep you and your families in His mercy and protection, Amin.

BGC resumed its face-to-face networking session with its employees for the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak. The event took place at Tarindak D’Seni, last Tuesday, 26th July 2022.

Present to partake in the BGC Connect were members of the management team led by the Managing Director, Captain Abdul Mateen bin Abdurrahman Liew. In his opening remarks, Captain Abdul Mateen expressed the importance of adapting to change, in response to the ever-challenging maritime landscape which has been impacted by geo-political tensions, disruptions to supply and demand, and most importantly COVID-19. He thanked each and every one of our heroes for sustaining an excellent record through safe and timely delivery of precious LNG cargoes to Brunei’s international customers.

One of the highlights from BGC Connect included a teambuilding session based on the lean concept of continuous improvement, where four teams competed with one another to build the best ‘miniature bridge’ with unlimited resources. In the afternoon, BGC also launched a new Health & Wellness campaign to cater to the wellbeing of BGC employees, and promote the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

The networking session concluded with an open mic session followed by a launch of the company’s first ever BGC Olympics.

Brunei Gas Carriers (BGC) collaborated with the Jerudong Village Council and Masjid Jerudong’s Committee Members this year to organise its Korban Drive-Thru event for the socio-economically challenged groups of Kampong Jerudong.

In attendance to distribute the meat were BGC’s Acting Managing Director, Captain Abdul Mateen Abdurrahman Liew and People Manager, Md Khairol Amilin Hj Maidin.

Representing Kampong Jerudong as the Guest of Honour was YDM Pehin Orang Kaya Lela Pahlawan Mejar Jeneral (B) Dato Paduka Seri Hj Mohd Jaafar Hj Abd Aziz, accompanied by the Acting Village Head of Kampong Jerudong ‘A’, YM Awg Hj Kharul Hj Lakat, together with other members of the Jerudong Village Council.

BGC is genuinely humbled to be able to carry out the Korban ceremony again this year as part of its social investment initiative. The willingness to share and distribute the benefits and blessings from Allah SWT in the interest of others is truly inspiring and hopefully can help nurture the attitude of care and charity amongst the wider community.

The event concluded with the recital of a Doa Selamat and Doa Kesyukuran led by the Ketua Imam.

Hari Raya Aidiladha, also known as the ‘Feast of Sacrifice’, is an important celebration in Islam which takes place on the 10th of Zulhijjah in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim’s devout loyalty and obedience to Allah SWT, also coinciding with the final day of the annual Muslim holy pilgrimage.

As we celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha this year, let us also not forget about safety – our own safety and those around us. If you are visiting family members, do not forget to plan your journey; remember to wear your seat belt and adhere to the speed limits. Practice moderation with the abundant food on offer, lock your doors and remember to make time for Doa. Last but not least, please continue to adhere to the latest COVID-19 SOPs by ensuring that you wear your mask when indoors and most importantly, remember to conduct ART before visiting family members.

On behalf of BGC Management and staff, we wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world a Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha.
