Assalmu'alaikum.

Salam Nisfu Syaaban to all members. May Allah bless all of us in this very precious night.

We know that some of you just started your semester, some might still be sitting for their examinations and working on assignments, while others are having their vacations. In spite of that, we hope all are in good condition, amin, and we wish you best of luck.

Alright. With regards to the previous announcement on The First General Meeting BSC 2010/2011 to be held in less than two weeks time, the organising committees have concluded the nomination and election system for the appointment of the councilors.

Guidelines for Nominations

As we are heading for the actual event, we decided to start the stage of nominations, from now on. Thus, we want everybody to co-operate with one another, so we do not spend so much time on nominations on the day of election. 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.


We look forward to see you all at Binjai!

Thank you. Wassalam.
