Baiduri Bank, through its Employee Wellness Initiative (EWI), recently hosted the second edition of Buat and Bagi. Organised in collaboration with the Culinary School at Laksamana College of Business (LCB), the Ministry of Health (MoH), and the Community Development Department (JAPEM), the initiative aimed to provide nutritious meals to those in need during the holy month of Ramadhan.
Over three days, Baiduri Bank employees and LCB culinary students collaborated to prepare and distribute 500 meals to various recipients.
Baiduri Bank Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ti Eng Hui was joined by members of the bank’s management committee. Together, they led a team of 80 Baiduri Bank employees in packing and delivering meals to patients and frontline employees at Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital.

Reflecting on the initiative, Ti Eng Hui shared, “Buat and Bagi is a testament to the power of collective action in creating a positive impact. Beyond providing meals, this initiative reflects our dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve and strengthening our connection with the community.”
LCB Head of the Culinary School Simon M Lynch added, “This initiative is more than just a charity event; it is an opportunity for our students to engage with the community and apply their learning to a meaningful cause. We are honoured to continue working with Baiduri Bank in a collaboration that fosters a shared commitment to creating a lasting and positive impact.”
An additional 250 meals were distributed to the wider community, including residents and staff of JAPEM’s Kompleks Rumah Kebajikan, as well as congregant at Pekan Tutong Mosque, Sufri Bolkiah Mosque in Kampong Burung Pingai, and Pehin Dato Imam Haji Abdul Mokti Mosque (Kampong Ayer) for iftar.
