THE concept of Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) or Malay
Islamic Monarchy needs to be discussed and documented further, according to the
secretary/head secretariat of the MIB Supreme Council.
Associate Professor
Ampuan Dr Hj Brahim Ampuan Hj Tengah elaborated that discussions should take
place through seminars, workshops, forums and lectures. In addition,
documentations should be made via the publication of working papers and books.
"This is so
understanding and knowledge of MIB will be appreciated by more people in
Brunei, especially the younger generations who have yet to grasp the concept of
MIB," he said.
The secretary/head
secretariat went on to explain that MIB has been practised over the past
hundred years, however the older generations did not disclose their practise of
the MIB through presentations of working papers, lectures or formal
discussions.
"They only practised
and implemented the concept of MIB in their daily lives," he commented,
adding that the elderly still likely possess a better understanding of MIB than
the younger generations.
Associate Professor
Ampuan Dr Hj Brahim stated that the discussion and documentation of MIB are
among the roles of the MIB Supreme Council, which focuses on three areas of
activity: dissemination, publication and research.
He remarked that the MIB
Supreme Council has been actively conducting dissemination activities through
talk shows and workshops on MIB.
"We do so with a
target and a specific number of participants. There have also been lectures,
roadshows, exhibitions, competitions and so on. Dissemination activities like
these will be continuously expanded and carried out throughout the
country," he said.
Meanwhile, the MIB
Supreme Council also succeeded in publishing two books, namely the MIB
collection and Mutiara Bangsa book, in collaboration with the Information
Department.
In the area of research,
the MIB Supreme Council has made plans to conduct research with the aim of
strengthening the understanding and dissemination of MIB. The research will
cover the extent of the society's comprehension of the concept of MIB.
"This research is
important not only to increase our number of publication, but also toward
developing dissemination strategies based on understanding and the target
groups," he said.
The secretary/head who
was speaking at the closing ceremony of the seminar on MIB yesterday at the
Seri Kenangan Hall in Tutong, stated that the MIB Supreme Council will continue
to "spread" the concept of MIB.
Commenting on the two-day
seminar on MIB, he said that the seminar has achieved its objective of
providing a deeper understanding of the national philosophy to wider society.
