During Ramadhan 2011, the Chevening Alumni Association of Brunei Darussalam gathered for its annual general meeting and sungkai at the Royal Brunei Polo Club in Jerudong.
The evening brought together alumni from a wide range of professional backgrounds, reflecting the breadth of the Chevening community in Brunei. Beyond catching up over sungkai, the meeting was an opportunity to consider how alumni could stay connected and contribute their experience to the country’s development.
Chevening is the UK Government’s international scholarship programme, supporting emerging leaders to undertake postgraduate study in the United Kingdom. For Bruneian alumni, the value of the programme has always extended beyond the year spent abroad: it is also the network, perspective and responsibility that come with returning home.
This post remains a small record of an early gathering of the Brunei alumni community. The original alumni list has been removed because it is no longer current.
