Baiduri Bank Group marked Chinese New Year with a grand appreciation event at The Empire Brunei on Wednesday, gathering over 1,000 distinguished guests, business partners, and stakeholders for an afternoon of gratitude and reflection on the Group’s progress and contributions to the community.
A key highlight of the celebration was the presentation of school fee donations to underprivileged students from 13 private schools across the country.
Speaking at the event, Baiduri Bank Chief Executive Officer Ti Eng Hui emphasised the Group’s commitment to education.
“At Baiduri Bank, we recognise the importance of education in shaping brighter futures. By supporting underprivileged students with their school fees, we’re helping to ease the financial challenges that can stand in the way of their education. Our aim is to give these students the opportunity to excel and contribute meaningfully to their communities, fostering a more inclusive and empowered society for the future,” he said.
The school fee donation initiative, which began in the early 2000s, initially focused on assisting students from Chinese schools during Chinese New Year celebrations. Over time, the programme expanded to include more private schools, benefiting hundreds of students and reinforcing Baiduri Bank Group’s dedication to education and social responsibility.
Ti Eng Hui personally handed over the donations to representatives from schools across Brunei’s four districts: Brunei-Muara: Chung Hwa Middle School, St George’s School, and St Andrew’s School; Tutong: Chung Hwa School Tutong and Chung Hwa School Kiudang; Belait: Chung Hwa School Labi, Chung Hua Middle School, Chung Lian School, Chung Ching Middle School, St Angela’s School, St John’s School, and St Margaret’s School; Temburong: Pai Yuek School.
Beyond education, Baiduri Bank Group continues to strengthen its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, aligning with Brunei Vision 2035’s goal of fostering a dynamic and sustainable economy. The Group’s CSR initiatives span social, economic, and environmental pillars, with flagship programmes such as the Baiduri Enterprise Hub, Baiduri Masters, Let’s Give Back This Ramadhan, and Baiduri Lokal Market. – Fadley Faisal
