LCB 5th Anniversary

Laksamana College of Business (LCB) marked its 5th anniversary at The Rizqun International Hotel in Gadong.

"We have noticed that Brunei Darussalam's growth and prosperity over the years can be largely attributed to our continued large amounts of investment in education.
"Recently, Brunei formulated a long-term development plan encompassing a national vision known as 'Wawasan Brunei 2035.'
"The aim of this national vision is to make Brunei, by 2035, a nation that is widely recognised for the accomplishment of its well-educated and highly skilled people, a high standard of living as well as dynamic and sustainable economy," he added.
"We appreciate and applaud the proactive approach of private education institutions like LCB, which offer professional to academic qualifications and produces graduates equipped with the latest knowledge and information, which are at the same time, business-oriented and industry-relevant.

"The objective of tertiary education cannot solely be the acquisition of academic knowledge. It is important that the education received by the students is holistic in nature and prepares them for life.
"We do not want graduates who merely regurgitate the knowledge they received while in college or university," the minister added.
"I hope that LCB and other private institutions of higher learning will continue to work with the government in realising our common objectives of developing a dynamic and talented pool of graduates to strengthen our human capital, and, of promoting Brunei Darussalam as the premier destination for quality education in the region," the minister concluded.
Also present at the anniversary celebration were LCB Director/ Principal Ian Pirie, British High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam John Saville, and Pehin Orang Kaya Ratna Setia Dato Setia Hj Awang Abdul Hapidz bin Pehin Orang Kaya Laksamana Hj Awang Abdul Razak.
