Salam Aidil Fitri 1433

Salam Aidil Fitri 1433!
Sowi, lama inda update blog. Ada sebulan udah kali. Yatah kawan2 tanya, kenapa me inda terdapat facebook/twitter/etc? Me jawab: blog lagi nda te"update", apa lagi yg lain. Tapi me dah guna whatsapp udah. mau save easi sikit. Masa ne me bertugas tidak tetap di dua tempat but next monday barutah me bertugas di tempat yang ditetapkan.
Ada 2 blogpost yg sepatutnya kan me masukkan ke dalam blog ane. It's about ziarah ke kubur & firework but mcm nada masa plang. Ok. Tentang ziarah ke kubur, me ada mention tentang pakaian khususnya untuk kaum perempuan. About one week before raya, kami (my cousins & uncles) ada ziarah ke beberapa buah tanah perkuburan di BSB. Still me ternampak girl yg pakai pakaian yg kurang sesuai utk ziarah kubur. Daddynya ok pakai topi haji, her mum pakai tudung n berjubah but their daughter????
Ekoran daripada itu (chewwah! bahasa), me try to publish peraturan & adab menziarahi tanah perkuburan orang2 Islam yang biasa kita lihat di pintu2 masuk ke tanah perkuburan. Insya-Allah, me akan post dlm blog ane some day, maybe before Ramadhan 1434 (tahun depan, around July 2013). Dalam versi rumi sal barangkali ada yg inda faham jawi. BTW dalam tempoh terdekat ini juga, Wizuraiworld Green Zone (WWGZ) akan berpindah pengkalan dari Sengkurong ke Salambigar. So tidak ada lagi helikopter yang melintas atas rumah. The new WWGZ will be more secure and surely a NO FLYING ZONE. Cubatah, kalau berani hahaha! Manakala ex-wwgz di Sengkurong akan dijadikan sebagai Pengkalan Operasi Depan (FOB), hehehe
Raya semasa umur semakin dewasa ini semakin kurang keseronokan. Me rasa raya yang sebenarnya bermula pada akhir bulan Ramadhan apabila esoknya disahkan hari raya, diikuti dengan suara takbir di masjid/surau/balai ibadat, kemudian balik rumah buat persiapan then tidur. pastu bangun subuh dan awal ke masjid and bertakbir lagi. solat raya, ziarah kubur, datang ke rumah tangah pagi raya. semuanya berakhir menjelang zuhur. mungkin u all inda setuju tapi bagi me itulah saat kemeriahan hari raya yang sebenar.

So, me selaku blogger wizuraiworld mengucapkan Salam Aidil Fitri 1433, Maaf zahir dan batin! Jumpa lagi

TWELVE military personnel were killed in the tragic helicopter accident on Friday afternoon at Ulu Belait, according to official counts provided by the Ministry of Defence (MinDef) following the discovery of the remaining two soldiers announced yesterday.

The bodies, identified as a Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAirF) male officer and female cadet officer, were reportedly found at an undisclosed site early yesterday morning.

Meanwhile, the two surviving officer cadets are currently in stable condition and receiving treatment at the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital, said RIPAS Hospital Deputy CEO Hjh Saidah Hj Wahid.

In a message conveyed to The Brunei Times yesterday, Deputy Minister of Defence Dato Paduka Hj Mustappa Hj Sirat expressed his condolences to the families of the victims. Sharing the same sentiments echoed by the grieving nation, he said that he was "very saddened" by the tragedy.

A total of 14 military personnel were onboard the RBAirF Bell 212 helicopter that crashed at Ulu Belait on the eve of the Ramadhan fasting month.

Among those involved in the tragedy were nine officer cadets from the latest batch of trainees at the Officer Cadet School (OCS) in Sg Akar, two crew men and three RBAirF officers, including a pilot.

MinDef stated that the helicopter was transporting the personnel back to Bandar Seri Begawan after a training session.

Inducted in April, the latest batch of officer cadets were barely into their 42-week training when the fatal helicopter accident occured.

So far, there has been no information from MinDef regarding the cause of the accident or the extent of damage to the helicopter.

The names of the 14 military personnel involved have also been withheld by MinDef out of respect to the family members of the victims.

The tragedy prompted swift action from His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, the Supreme Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) and the Minister of Defence, who visited the survivors and commanded the urgent search for the missing persons.

Accompanied by His Royal Highness Second Lieutenant Prince 'Abdul Mateen, the Monarch also consented to pay his last respects to the victims at the Royal Brunei Air Base on Friday.

In April, MinDef confirmed that an RBAirF Bell 212 helicopter was involved in an accident in the vicinity of Bukit Belalong, in Temburong, while peforming a routine task. The pilot and crew member escaped unhurt, while another sustained minor injuries.

Findings of the helicopter incident in April have not been made public. The pilot, when asked for further details, declined to comment.

The Bell 212 helicopter is a two-bladed, twin-engined military transport built by Bell Helicopter, an American rotorcraft manufacturer. The RBAirF is currently equipped with 10 of the Bell 212 helicopters.

In November 2011, MinDef announced that a deal was secured with Sikorsky for the supply of 12 Blackhawk S-70i helicopters to replace the three-decade-old fleet of Bell 212s and BO105s that are nearing the end of their operational lives.

The deal with Sikorsky, also known as the Support Helicopter Project (SH Project), was in line with the need to replace and enhance the RBAirF's rotary wing capacity as identified in the Defence White Paper Update 2007.

TEN out of 14 military personnel were reported to have been killed in a tragic helicopter accident in the Belait area that occurred a day before the start of the Ramadhan fasting month.

The accident prompted the attention of His Majesty, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam and the Supreme Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces and Minister of Defence.

Following the accident, His Majesty went personally to oversee the shifting of the victims by air to the Royal Brunei Air Force Base from the crash site, where family members of those involved in the accident had gathered to receive news about their loved ones.

The Brunei Times was turned away from the air base.

Also present at the Royal Brunei Air Force Base was His Royal Highness, Second Lt Prince 'Abdul Mateen. His Majesty, later, at around 10.24pm, visited two of the survivours who had been brought to the Raja IsteriPgAnakSaleha (RIPAS) Hospital late yesterday evening.

The monarch had also met with the families of the victims at both the air base and the hospital.

Two more, as of press time, remain unaccounted for, according to a statement issued by the Office of His Majesty, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam at 12.18pm.

The Ministry of Defence reported that a Bell 212 Helicopter, carrying 14 passengers was involved in an accident in the Belait area yesterday afternoon.

"Fatalities and injuries were reported," stated the press statement from MinDef, noting that three crew of the helicopter and 11 officer cadets were involved.

MinDef stated that the military helicopter was carrying the officer cadets back to Bandar Seri Begawan after a training session.

It stated that the list of fatalities was yet to be confirmed. A list of supposed victims had been circulating in the social media, but MinDef representatives declined to comment on its authenticity. At 7pm, around the RIPAS Accident and Emergency (A & E) Department, medical staff were seen on standby and the Minister of Health, Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Johan Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia Hj Adanan Hj Begawan Pehin Siraja Khatib Dato Seri Setia Hj Mohd Yusof as well as senior officials from Ministry of Health (MoH) and one official from Ministry of Defence (MinDef) were seen on site. Closer to 8pm, two visitors, one male and one female, arrived at the A&E (accident and emergency) and they were approached by an acquaintance. The woman fainted suddenly and medical officials immediately acted and rushed her to a restricted room for patients.

It is unclear if the incident was related.

Outside, passer-by's and visitors to the hospital were seen observing the scene and discussing with each other what was happening. Later, more people arrived and some were seen crying. About a few minutes before 8.30pm, the first ambulance carrying a victim arrived to the A&E and immediately rushed to the emergency.

Over time, more people arrived and started consoling each other as they waited outside for more updates while inside the A & E, it was restricted to family members and officials. Past 8.40pm, another ambulance carrying the second victim arrived, pushing medical officers into action.

Three military officers in their uniform were seen standing by the parked ambulance.

Deputy CEO of RIPAS; Dr Hjh Norehan bte Hj Johari, said that two of those involved in the incident were being treated at RIPAS, confirming that they were both stable. At the time, she said that one was in Ward 10 (general ward) and another in the operating theatre. She declined to comment further.

A family of one of the surviving victims, waiting patiently outside the X-Ray department at the hospital said that this was an upsetting incident, especially so close to the first day of Ramadhan.

They shared that they also felt for the families of the other victims, especially those who were uncertain of the fate of their loved ones.

Prayers for the deceased were held at the Surau of the Bolkiah Garrison. After the prayers, the bodies of the victims were carried away one by one by separate hearses and ambulances.— (Ubai, Fitri, Jin, Sarah, Mun, Diyana)
