Majlis Korban 2023

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

In attendance to distribute the meat were BGC’s Managing Director, Captain Abdul Mateen Abdurrahman Liew and Fleet Manager, Pg Nor Hazman Pg Haji Abdul Hamid.

In addition to the collaboration, employees of BGC participated in the sacrifice of 5 buffaloes, in which the Korban meat was distributed to selected socio-economically challenged families across Brunei in consultation with respective Village Heads.

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.

Salam Eid Al-Adha

Salam Eid Al-Adha from all of us at Brunei Gas Carriers.

Wishing all our Muslim brothers and sisters a blessed celebration with loved ones.

As we celebrate Eid Al-Adha 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.

Remember to always Stay Safe and let us also pray that Allah Subhaanahu Wataala grants us the opportunity to celebrate this blessed occasion in the coming future, Amin.

Happy Day of the Seafarer!

On the occasion of the Day of the Seafarer, let us pay a tribute to our seafarers, who have played a vital role in safeguarding the marine environment while ensuring the sustainability of our precious oceans for future generations.

Over the past 50 years, MARPOL, the primary international treaty governing the prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships, has played a critical role in reducing marine pollution. In commemorating this year’s theme “MARPOL at 50: Our Commitment Goes On,”, it is important to recognise that marine pollution remains a serious threat to marine species and their environment.

Let us strengthen our efforts by working together to protect the marine environment and ensure the sustainable use of our oceans’ resources.

BGC would like to extend our appreciation to all seafarers for their unwavering support – the true heroes of the maritime industry.

Happy Day of the Seafarer!

Lastly, BGC would like to thank all the donors for their selfless donations, Blood Bank RIPAS, and McDonald’s Brunei for the successful partnership in organising this event.
