JERUDONG, Wednesday 4 Sept 2013 – The BRIDEX exhibition hall turned colourful and lively yesterday as the Ministry of Defence (MinDef) hosted a Hari Raya celebration for its officers and personnel from various departments.
The get-together was attended by Deputy Minister of Defence, Dato Paduka Haji Mustappa bin Haji Sirat and Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) Commander Major General Dato Paduka Seri Haji Aminuddin Ihsan bin Pehin Orang Kaya Saiful Mulok Dato Seri Paduka Haji Abidin as the guests of honours, accompanied by other senior officials of the ministry.
The annual event saw unique booths containing Hari Raya decorations set up by the different departments this year as the theme was “ASEAN countries”. Each booth represented an ASEAN member country, serving delicacies symbolic of the country represented. MinDef staff were also seen taking group photos with the guests of honour for remembrance.
As Syawal is coming to an end, MinDef took the opportunity to host the Aidil Fitri celebration for its officers and personnel to strengthen ties and foster good relationships among staff from the different departments. Such functions help promote close interaction at all levels and sections of the ministry.
