BGC Community Visit to SMARTER Brunei

Posted by Ummi Sulaiman on

In conjunction with BGC’s 28th Anniversary, Brunei Gas Carriers Sdn Bhd (BGC) visited SMARTER Brunei on 17 March 2026 as part of an employee-led donation initiative during the blessed month of Ramadhan, supporting children facing socio-economic challenges.

Led by Managing Director Captain Abdul Mateen Abdurrahman Liew, the visit marked BGC’s third consecutive year of collaboration with SMARTER Brunei—and a meaningful opportunity to engage directly with the children and dedicated team at the centre. A small token of contribution from BGC employees was presented as a gesture of care and support for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) under SMARTER Brunei’s care.

The visit also included a tour of the centre, allowing BGC representatives to gain deeper insight into the learning environment and impactful programmes that continue to uplift and empower the children and their families.

As BGC celebrates this milestone, the initiative reflects the company’s belief that its role extends beyond business—embracing compassion, volunteerism, and the importance of giving back to the community, especially during this season of reflection and generosity.

On this blessed occasion of Nuzul Al-Qur’an, we reflect upon the sacred night when Allah SWT revealed the first verses of the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad SAW — a divine guidance sent as mercy, light, and direction for all of humanity.

May Allah grant us hearts that remain connected to the Qur’an, lives guided by its wisdom, and deeds that reflect its Nur (light).

Salam Nuzul Al-Quran from all of us at Brunei Gas Carriers Sdn Bhd
