ecause without it, your company or business may be facing problem.Dishonest entrepreneurs and businessmen would be inviting variety ofproblems. ” Unquote.Another practice that can also be regarded as business integrity’s issue ismonopolistic practice. We will continue to look seriously at these practices. Thisis neither good for the country nor for the business communities as a whole. Wewant to create a level playing field for businesses to compete in a healthy way.We cannot have companies seemingly competing against each other but inreality in term of ownerships, these companies are one and the same. If there isno competition, then the owner of the monopoly can set the price at whatever hewants, and control the entire market for that sector. We need fair and cleancompetition to drive the suppliers to provide superior quality products andkeep prices at reasonable level.Ladies and Gentlemen,Let me now touch briefly on matters relating to safety.We still noticed that some companies are treating issues such as safetyand health, not only of their own employees but also to others very lightly.Some have glowing documentation on HSE, yet these are not implemented. Forexample during one of my visits, I saw sandblasting activities being done withinan area that was not completely covered. Mind you, the company is aninternational company that has a very extensive manual on safe practises. Safetyand protection of personnel, facilities and environment are very important. TheGovernment of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara BruneiDarussalam are currently drafting new rules and regulations that will beenacted under the Workplace Health and Safety Order 2009. You will berequired to conduct yourself within a certain standard and if you failed tocomply, you can be penalised under the law. We must be pro-active on this. It isour duty and responsibility to ensure the safety of everyone.14
As contractors, and corporate citizens, you all must be committed todemonstrating a high standard of environmental protection, sharing of bestpractices and provision of a safe and healthy workplace. This can be achievedfor example through conservation of resources, preventing pollution,eliminating accidents, occupational illness and injuries at work as well asensuring adherence to all applicable legislations and so on. Let us asstakeholders work together toward continuous improvement of ourenvironmental, health and safety management system.Ladies and Gentlemen,I have given a lengthy speech. If I were to provide a summary, it wouldbe that our local businesses must be sustainable for the benefits of everyone. Toachieve this, we must make all the necessary efforts to turn our businesses intowell-managed and true corporate citizens. All these will help us achieve whatHis Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara Brunei Darussalamwants us as a nation to strive for, creating a sustainable development to ensurethat the prosperity and peace that we have now will also be enjoyed by ourfuture generations.With that, and by reciting the qalimah Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim, I declareopen this 2012 Vendor Forum.Thank you.WABILLAHI TAUFIK WALHIDAYAH WASSALAMU’ALAIKUMWARAHMATULLAHI WABARAKAATUH15
