During the forum, a total of eight resolutions were discussed and cohesively formulated by some 150 students from secondary and primary schools in the Belait and Tutong Districts.

One of the resolutions covered was on the issue of bullying in school. The resoulution states that bullying should be eradicated and victims of such acts should not be afraid to report the matter to the relevant authorities. It also highlighted the importance of promoting awareness on the benefits and dangers of social networking sites.

The youths also understood the hardships faced by single parents in raising their families and advised divorced parents to continue fulfilling their obligations.

They then emphasised that individuals with special needs (OBK) should be given opportunities in employment and be the main agenda in any kind of policy formulation in the country. A specialised infrastructure for OBK should also be constructed.

I remembered when I was at school (primary), I have fri

Pulau Cermin - view from the River In a nutshell, Sultan Abdul Hakkul Mubin was the Bendahara when his son was killed by the son of Sultan Muhammad Ali. He requested that his son's death be avenged but Sultan Muhammad Ali denied him.
