Here are important guidelines for the nominations to be operated by students within each institution:

1. All Brunei students from all institutions are eligible to nominate and to volunteer for candidature of the election.
2. All students from each institution shall then list out few names and discuss among the students of the same institutions, who shall be the potential candidate to represent the institution (may be by votes).
3. Each institution shall end up with only one candidate to be elected during the event.
4. Students (not the candidate) shall provide one testimonial of the representing candidate (a paragraph or two long) from each institution, in order to secure the election.

Consequently, the candidate representing each institution will then be brought forward for the election of eight posts, apart from the Patron and Advisor, in the council mentioned above. Every institution is required to submit the following to the organising committees, before or on Sunday, 8th August 2010, precisely before the event begin.

• Name of candidature
• ID/Passport number
• Name of Institution
• Testimonial of candidature
  

In any case, we want all institutions in Malaysia to participate in the nomination in order to accomplish the objective of Brunei Student Council to unite all Brunei students. We also would want your co-operation in working together among students in the same institutions for this nomination stage to be executed in order to proceed.

Election system and procedures will be acquainted during the general meeting.

Please leave comments and suggestions on this subject. Any problems arise regarding the nominations particularly, do not hesitate to ask any of the organising committees. We are willing to help.

Missions dan Visions of Brunei Student Council

Assalamu'alaikum,

In completing the proposal of this organisation, we have included missions and visions of Brunei Student Council. We want to assure you, so we now share them for the guidelines of all members.

Missions

1. To fulfill the aim of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam’s Titah during ‘Hari Belia Kebangsaan’ in 2009,

“..... Belia Cemerlang ialah belia beriman, berilmu, bertanggungjawab dan cekal. Kita semua menyedari, untuk mewujudkan belia cemerlang adalah memerlukan penglibatan semua pihak, termasuk individu, keluarga dan masyarakat. Tambahan pula, kesan kederasan arus globalisasi masa kini, telah menimbulkan pelbagai cabaran serta hambatan dalam usaha mewujudkan belia cemerlang itu. Ini, termasuklah cabaran-cabaran dalam bidang pendidikan dan pekerjaan.”.

2. To take the challenge of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam’s Titah during His Majesty’s visit to United Kingdom and Northern Ireland in 2007,

“...... Hanya pemikiran yang tinggi dan matang sahaja yang mampu membawa seseorang itu keambang kejayaan. Janganlah dianggap kejayaan itu ibarat udara yang kita hirup, di mana semua orang dapat menikmatinya dengan percuma, tetapi adalah kejayaan adalah memerlukan pencarian dengan usaha gigih serta titik peluh. Jadi berasaskan ini, Beta mahu, supaya penuntut-penuntut semuanya menjadi generasi pemikir. Janganlah turun ke bawah dalam berfikir tetapi naik dan meningkatlah selalu sehingga mencapai taraf pemikir yang baik. Negara Brunei Darussalam mesti dibangun oleh tenaga-tenaga pemikir untuk memperolehi nilai ‘Negara Baik’ dalam makna yang seluas-luasnya. Negara yang runtuh adalah Negara yang ketandusan daya berfikir, sekalipun ia kaya dan besar. Kerana apabila daya berfikir merosot, maka sudah pasti yang akan menggantikannya ialah hawa nafsu. Definisi ‘Negara Baik’ itu disebut oleh Allah sebagai “Baldatun Thayyibatun”, yakni Negara yang aman, sejahtera lagi makmur. Tanpa adanya unsur-unsur ini bermakna bukanlah itu ‘Negara Baik’ atau “Baldatun Thayyibatun” menurut perspektif al-Quran. Kemudian ‘Negara Baik itu pula dilengkapi dengan ungkapan berikutnya, “Warabbun Ghafuur”, yakni yang berdiri kukuh di bawah keredhaan dan keampunan Allah.”.

Visions

1. To strengthen the relationship between Brunei students and the High Commission of Brunei Darussalam in Malaysia.

2. To bridge relationships among Brunei students from different institutions in Malaysia.

Any inquiries, comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you.
