Celebrating World Social Work Day is aimed at integrating all social networks and communities to spread the 2022 theme, ‘Co-building A New Eco-Social World: The importance of community support in dealing with social problems’.
This was said by Pantai Jerudong Specialist Centre (PJSC) Medical Director Dr Meera Saheeb Kabeer in a keynote address during the virtual forum held in conjunction with World Social Work Day organised by PJSC yesterday.
The forum was held to share the importance of community support in dealing with social problems and understanding the various organisations and individuals that are intimately involved in supporting vulnerable groups in Brunei, Dr Kabeer added.
“The forum will be a platform for the initiative to engage all communities to share their views which will help to understand the root cause in Brunei, and help them to live a dignified life,” Dr Kabeer said, adding that the forum will also highlight how environmental factors could influence an individual’s development and behaviour, as well as how healthcare facilities and eco-social work should go hand in hand to achieve the goal.
Continuing the event was a discussion by panellists counsellor and motivator Haji Ali Yusri, La Vida Sdn Bhd Manager Dawn Lee, Mobile Dream Catcher Project Manager Georgiana, Adit binti Haji Abu Bakar of Rakan Harmoni, PJSC Medical Social Work Department Head Siti Fairuz binti Abdul Latiff, and Project Women Brunei Executive Director Nur Judy Abdullah, who shared their various experiences and the underlying issues leading to social problems during the
virtual forum.
PJSC Chief Religious Teacher Haji Ishkandar bin Haji Buntar moderated the forum.
The event’s main objective was to raise public awareness on social problems and their challenges as well as the impact of stigma around people with social problems, along with how the community should respond or help to better support people facing social problems.
It also aimed to help the community understand what is happening, and what support vulnerable groups need from family, friends and the community.

A new report by the United Nations (UN) Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) was recently released, providing analyses on progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Asia and the Pacific and its five subregions.
The Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2022: Widening Disparities Amid COVID-19 issued by ESCAP on March 17, also examines inequalities and vulnerabilities among different population groups, while also assessing gaps which must be closed to achieve the goals by 2030 and leave no one behind.
A press statement from ESCAP notes that the need to reach those who are furthest behind has never been greater. The report finds that average progress in the region disproportionately excludes some groups with distinct demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Those furthest behind, including women, persons with disabilities, rural populations and poorer households, are also facing increased vulnerabilities. For many vulnerable populations, food security, education and livelihoods have also deteriorated during the pandemic.
According to the report, the challenges of achieving the SDGs in the region have been magnified in recent years by an increase in the frequency and intensity of human made crises and natural disasters, as well as the challenges of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Progress towards the SDGs in the Asia-Pacific region has slowed as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change have exacerbated development challenges. The region is not on track to achieve any of the 17 SDGs,” said the report.
“The vision and ambition of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are no less critical and relevant than they were in 2015, yet the expected year for the achievement of the SDGs is now 2065, and the gap grows wider with each passing year. The Asia-Pacific region is now facing the economic impact of the crisis and the risk that progress will slow down even more in the coming years as environmental and social targets are compromised. That outcome can be avoided if the region steps up and embraces the SDGs as a road map for an inclusive, equitable and just recovery.”
The report said that the inequity of progress towards the SDGs is evidenced in the lives of vulnerable population groups throughout Asia and the Pacific who are most at risk of being left behind. “Slow progress, stagnation and regression against the SDG targets continue to place the greatest burden on those who are furthest behind.”
It was shared that although the climate crisis has become more acute, the region has regressed on responsible consumption and production (Goal 12) and climate action (Goal 13). As the press statement elaborated, “While headway has been made on some of the targets dealing with industry, innovation, and infrastructure (Goal 9) and affordable and clean energy (Goal 7), they still fall short of the pace required to meet the 2030 Agenda. Across the region, progress has been very slow or even stagnant on quality education (Goal 4), gender equality (Goal 5), clean water and sanitation (Goal 6), decent work and economic growth (Goal 8), sustainable cities and communities (Goal 11), and life below water (Goal 14).”
The report highlights that leaving no one behind, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, location, disability or migratory status, remains the central commitment of the 2030 Agenda, and the need to reach those who are furthest behind has never been greater.
“Average progress in Asia and the Pacific disproportionately excludes some groups with distinct demographic or socioeconomic characteristics. Those furthest behind, including women, rural populations and poorer households, generally face more vulnerabilities. For many vulnerable populations, food security, education and livelihoods have deteriorated during the pandemic.”
One third of the global population of child refugees live in the Asia-Pacific region, and the pandemic has added to the challenges they face. The intersection of poverty and climate change often impacts the livelihoods of women, who account for the majority of agriculture sector workers in some areas.
The report said its analysis shows that more must be done to expand social protection for vulnerable populations, including persons with severe disabilities, and to improve the labour market prospects of people with disabilities.
Amid the disturbing trends, the report also highlights some good news for the region, noting that the number of SDG indicators with data available have doubled since 2017. Collaboration between national and international custodian agencies has significantly contributed to enhancing the availability of data.
“While data availability has improved since 2017 (the number of indicators with data has doubled), 57 out of 169 targets (34 per cent) still cannot be measured. Data availability on gender equality (Goal 5), life below water (Goal 14) and peace, justice and strong institutions (Goal 16) remains somewhat limited. Cooperation between national and international custodian agencies for SDG indicators have significantly contributed to SDG data availability and must continue to close the remaining gaps in the data.”
“More investment and technical cooperation are needed to ensure timeliness and sustainability in conducting household surveys as the main source for nearly one third of the SDG indicators. Enhanced national coordination and data sharing and integration must be prioritised to harness the full potential of administrative data (including civil registration and vital statistics) for the SDGs,” said the report.
The Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2022: Widening Disparities Amid COVID-19 is the flagship annual publication produced by ESCAP, in partnership with 10 other UN agencies, that uses the latest data for global SDG indicators to determine where additional effort is needed in the region and where momentum for future progress is building.
UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ESCAP Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana said, “A better understanding of development outcomes for distinct population groups and intersecting vulnerabilities is key to a fairer recovery. The SDGs cannot be achieved without protecting the most vulnerable, many of whom have been particularly affected by the pandemic.”
GENEVA (CNA) – A World Food Programme (WFP) official said yesterday food supply chains in Ukraine were collapsing, with a portion of infrastructure destroyed and many grocery stores and warehouses empty.
“The country’s food supply chain is falling apart. Movements of goods have slowed down due to insecurity and the reluctance of drivers,” WFP Emergency Coordinator for the Ukraine crisis Jakob Kern told a Geneva press briefing by videolink from Poland.
He also expressed concern about the situation in “encircled cities” such as Mariupol, saying that food and water supplies were running out and that its convoys had been unable to enter the city.
WFP buys nearly half of its wheat supplies from Ukraine and Kern said that the crisis there since the Russian invasion on February 24 pushed up food prices sharply.
“With global food prices at an all-time high, WFP is also concerned about the impact of the Ukraine crisis on food security globally, especially hunger hot spots,” he said, warning of “collateral hunger” in other places.
The agency is paying USD71 million a month extra for food this year due to both inflation and the Ukraine crisis, he said, adding that such an amount would cover the food supplies for four million people.
“We are changing suppliers now but that has an impact on prices,” he said. “The further away you buy it, the more expensive it gets.”
The Enforcement Division of the Kuala Belait and Seria Municipal Board issued a BND500 compound fine to a local company on March 16 for disposing construction waste including pieces of wood and materials in a public area at X-17, Jalan Maulana, Kuala Belait.

BANGKOK (AP) – Shares have opened lower in Europe after gains for most Asian benchmarks as oil prices hovered above USD100 per barrel.
Stocks rose in Tokyo and Shanghai but fell in Paris, Frankfurt and London. United States (US) futures were lower.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for more help for his country after days of bombardment of civilian sites in multiple cities over the past few days.
The war, and plans for President Joe Biden to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping were among the uncertainties overhanging markets.
The White House said the conversation will centre on “managing the competition between our two countries as well as Russia’s war against Ukraine and other issues of mutual concern.”
Germany’s DAX slipped 0.3 per cent to 14,357.48 and the CAC 40 in Paris lost 0.5 per cent to 6,583.42. Britain’s FTSE 100 lost 0.2 per cent to 7,368.02. The futures for the S&P 500 and Dow industrials were 0.4 per cent lower.
Wrapping up a two-day meeting, the Bank of Japan opted to keep its monetary policy unchanged, with its benchmark interest rate at minus 0.1 per cent. Japan’s central bank has been keeping interest rates ultra low and pumping tens of billions of dollars into the world’s third largest economy for years, trying to spur faster growth.

Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index rose 0.7 per cent to 26,827.43 and the S&P/ASX 200 in Sydney gained 0.6 per cent, to 7,294.40.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng slipped 0.4 per cent to 21,412,40 after barreling higher for two days after Chinese leaders promised to provide more support for the economy and markets, suggesting Beijing might temper its crackdowns on technology and real estate companies.
The Shanghai Composite index added 1.1 per cent to 3,251.07.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 climbed 1.2 per cent on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1.2 per cent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 1.3 per cent. It is on pace for its biggest weekly gain in more than a year.
Smaller company stocks outpaced the broader market. The Russell 2000 index surged 1.7 per cent.
Big swings in markets have become the norm as investors struggle to handicap what will happen to the economy and the world’s already high inflation because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, higher interest rates from central banks around the world and renewed COVID-19 worries in various hotspots.
Wall Street’s latest gains came after the Federal Reserve raised its key interest rate on Wednesday for the first time since 2018, something Wall Street had been expecting for months.
A barrel of US crude oil gained USD1.71 to USD104.69 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It jumped 8.4 per cent on Thursday to settle at USD102.98.
Brent crude, the international pricing standard, added USD1.46 to USD108.10 per barrel in London. It leaped 8.8 per cent to settle at USD106.64 per barrel the day before. Prices have been careening on doubts over both supplies of and demand for oil. After briefly topping USD130 early last week, a barrel of US crude fell to nearly USD94 a barrel on Wednesday.
But reports of a sale of Russian crude oil to India and apparent setbacks in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia have renewed concern over possible shortfalls in supplies.
NEW YORK (AP) – Labrador retrievers are still tugging hardest on United States (US) dog lovers’ heartstrings, but poodles just strutted back into the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) top five most popular dog breeds for the first time in nearly a quarter-century.
The club’s annual popularity rankings came out on Tuesday, drawn from more than 800,000 purebred puppies and older pooches that joined the nation’s oldest canine registry last year.
With 197 recognised breeds, the list ranges from such familiar furry faces as Labs – number one for an unprecedented 31 straight years – to the newly added Biewer terrier (making a strong debut at number 82) and unusual pups like the hairless Xoloitzcuintli (number 119).
For dog fans, there’s plenty to dig into (like a dachshund, number 10) and point out (like a pointer, number 120). So we’ve rounded up (like a border collie, number 31) some highlights:
TOP 10
After Labs, the top 10 are: French bulldogs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, poodles, bulldogs, beagles, Rottweilers, German shorthaired pointers and dachshunds.

OODLES OF POODLES
Poodles reigned as top dog from 1960 to 1982 before falling off somewhat in popularity. But in the new statistics, they reclaimed the fifth spot for the first time since 1997. (The standard, miniature and toy sizes are all counted as one breed).
With their proud stance and elaborate cut in the show ring, “they do have a reputation, in some circles, as just being froufrou”, said longtime poodle owner and sometime breeder Page Hinds-Athan of Roswell, Georgia. “There’s definitely more to them.”
Poodles historically were water retrievers, and they remain athletic animals renowned for their smarts, not to mention their allergy-friendly coats. Hinds-Athan’s poodles have made therapy visits in hospitals and compete in obedience. Other poodles work as guide dogs for the blind, hunt or compete in agility or other dog sports.
Their intelligence comes with some high expectations, Hinds-Athan said: In training, “if you’re going to fuss at them, you’d better be really right. Because if you’re not really fair with them, they remember it”.
AND DOODLES?
Poodles also make up part of several popular hybrids, such as Labradoodles, maltipoos and sheepadoodles. The AKC, a governing body for many dog shows, doesn’t currently recognise any of those as breeds. But AKC spokesperson Brandi Hunter said poodle-mix fans have made some inquiries about what recognition would involve.
One key requirement is articulating an ideal for the breed, in order to attain some consistency.
“The predictability is one of the things that draws people to purebred dogs,” Hunter explained.
ON THE RARE SIDE
The rarest breed last year was the Norwegian lundehund, consistently sparse in the US. The smallish dogs boast extra toes and unusual flexibility that once helped them climb Norwegian cliffs to hunt puffins nesting in narrow crevices.
BREEDS ON THE RISE
The standings often don’t change a lot from year to year, but they do over time. Eight breeds, from the low-lying Pembroke Welsh corgi (number 11) to the towering great Dane (number 17), have entered the top 25 since the start of the century.
Some have made Olympian leaps in popularity. French bulldogs, now number two and a common sight from TV commercials to cosmopolitan streets, ranked a distant 71st in 2000.
The cane corso, which wasn’t recognised until 2010, has since climbed from 51st to 21st.
The imposing, mastiff-style cane corso goes back many centuries in rural Italy as a farm guardian that also pulled small carts and hunted wild animals. Its versatility endures, said Anthony Simonski, who has owned or bred corsi (that’s the proper plural) that compete in agility, dock diving and other sports and have appeared in TV shows and music videos.
While the dogs are protective, “it’s not about being mean – it’s about understanding its job”, said Simonski, of Acworth, Georgia.
Simonski has owned corsi since 1998 and is married to Cane Corso Association of America President Rebecca Simonski. He has mixed feelings about their growing popularity, feeling that it draws questionable breeders.
“There’s a side of you going, ‘Oh, my God, the cat’s out of the bag’. But the real problem is what people are doing with that cat once it’s out of the bag,” he said.
DOG BREEDING DEBATED
Some animal-rights advocates say dog breeding itself is a problem. They argue that fanciers focus more on dogs’ appearance than their health and that promoting purebreds ends up fuelling puppy mills and stranding other dogs in shelters.
The AKC said it and its affiliated breed clubs champion and invest in dog health, including through an AKC-affiliated foundation. The club also maintains that properly done breeding has a purpose: to produce dogs with known traits, from size to sniffing ability, that fit different human needs and lifestyles. New purebred registrations, which are voluntary, have increased by 45 per cent in a decade, the club said.
PARIS (AFP) – France coach Fabien Galthie has insisted his side will be “ready to respond” to some typical Eddie Jones taunts when they attempt to win a first Six Nations title since 2010 by defeating England in Paris today.
Les Bleus are also bidding for a first Grand Slam in 12 years and victory over England in the final game of this season’s Championship would be a huge morale boost ahead of next year’s World Cup on home soil.
France entered this Six Nations as favourites after a November campaign that culminated with a dazzling 40-25 win over New Zealand at a raucous Stade de France.
But they were far from their attacking best in a nervous 13-9 victory away to Wales last week, for all a defence marshalled by specialist coach Shaun Edwards held firm.
None of this is lost on England boss Jones, who loves to unsettle the opposition with a few well-chosen words.
Galthie, however, speaking after naming his side, said on Thursday: “We listen and absorb what our opponents say about themselves and us. And that contributes to our work, our preparation.

“But the rendezvous is Saturday evening at the Stade de France. And we will be ready to respond.”
The former France captain, who took charge after the 2019 World Cup, added: “We have learnt from our defeats.”
Galthie has recalled Damian Penaud after the wing, who has scored three tries in this year’s tournament, missed the Wales match following a bout of coronavirus.
Former scrum-half Galthie said England had “transformed its game-play” under veteran Australian coach Jones as he recalled their 2016 Grand Slam, part of a record-equalling run of 18 successive Test wins by a leading rugby nation.
England, however, have been nowhere near those heights lately, managing just seven tries this tournament – five against perennial strugglers Italy – and they could now finish as low as fifth for a second successive Six Nations if they lose in Paris.
Jones, however, has made France 2023 his over-riding goal since guiding England to a 2019 World Cup final in Japan where they were beaten by South Africa.
But France team manager Raphael Ibanez, who spent several seasons in the English Premiership, insisted England were always “back-breakingly” tough opponents.
England, who arrived in Paris earlier than usual to simulate pre-match conditions at next year’s World Cup, go into the game after a record 32-15 home defeat by Ireland.
They played most of that match a man down, with lock Charlie Ewels sent off after just 82 seconds – the quickest red card in Championship history.
“One extra player will help,” said Jones. “You don’t have to be a genius at maths to tell you that 15 v 15 is better than 14 v 15.”
Jones has selected Nick Isiekwe to replace the banned Ewels, while recalling full-back George Furbank and veteran scrum-half Ben Youngs, with Sam Underhill replacing Tom Curry (hamstring injury) at openside flanker.
But how those England players who put in a massive physical effort against Ireland – the score was 15-15 with 20 minutes to go – back up could determine the course of today’s match.
“If they play with that intensity, spirit and tactical discipline, we’ll give ourselves a hell of a chance to win the game,” said Jones.
UPI – A Florida school’s swim team practice was delayed when the students discovered the pool was already occupied – by an alligator.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that deputies responded to Montverde Academy on a report of an alligator crashing the swim team practice and refusing to vacate the pool voluntarily.
The deputies used a safety hook to pull the three-foot gator closer to the edge of the pool, where it was grabbed by another deputy.
The alligator was taken to Lake Apopka, where the tape was removed and “the gator was released on its own recognisance”.
CNA – Amazon.com on Thursday said it had closed its USD8.5 billion deal to buy MGM, combining the fabled moviemaker behind Rocky and James Bond with the online retailing giant as it looks to draw consumers through more streaming video.
In a statement, Amazon said it would welcome all MGM employees to the company and work with the studio’s leadership, indicating there would not be layoffs. Its decision to close comes after a deadline passed for the United States (US) Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to challenge the deal.
The Seattle-based retailer announced the transaction in May 2021, saying MGM offered a trove of content to draw consumers to its fast-shipping and streaming club Prime, which costs USD14.99 per month in the US.
Nearly a year later, Amazon is clear of regulatory hurdles.
The European Commission approved the deal on Tuesday, with no conditions.

Likewise, Amazon earlier informed the FTC that it had “substantially complied” with requests for information about the deal. According to Amazon, MGM’s staff will join the organisation of senior vice president of Prime Video and Amazon Studios Mike Hopkins.
MGM bolsters Amazon Prime Video’s offering with more than 4,000 film titles, as well as this year’s Oscar-nominated Licorice Pizza and a long list of television shows that may help Amazon compete with streaming rivals Netflix and Disney+.
Hopkins praised MGM’s “broad slate of original films and television shows”.
“We welcome MGM employees, creators, and talent to Prime Video and Amazon Studios, and we look forward to working together,” he said in a statement.
An FTC spokeswoman declined to comment on the specific transaction but noted that the agency may challenge a deal after it closes “if it determines that it violates the law.”
The FTC has a broader probe open into Amazon as part of government antitrust investigations begun under the Trump administration into the four big tech platforms, including Facebook and Google.
THE WASHINGTON POST – I thought I was over the Souls formula but Elden Ring has me reconsidering.
Since the release of Demon’s Souls in 2009 From Software has risen to the top of the video game industry and, with rare exception, critical acclaim followed each subsequent title. It became hard not to bump into some variation of the assessment that the games were cruel yet beautiful, punishing but fair, disheartening yet enthralling.
The company had radically altered my conception of what an action RPG could be (i.e., purposefully opaque and impishly sadistic). But by the time I got around to playing the Japanese developer’s last game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, these adjectives had begun to ring hollow.
I found little ennobling about a struggle to overcome enemies that demands a sort of rote perfectionism. After dispatching one of the mini-bosses – a knight who recalled one of the enemies in the Dark Souls series – I walked away and never looked back.
So, it was with a bad taste in my mouth that I spent barely a couple of hours with the Elden Ring beta back in November before I bounced off, dismissing it as just another Souls game dressed up in new finery.
Over the past week my opinion shifted radically and I found myself funneling nearly every available moment into Elden Ring. Sure, the new From Software title still operates like a typical Souls game insofar as it thrusts you into a mysterious world filled with beguiling monstrosities to kill. But enough tweaks have been made to create an experience that is, dare I say it, somewhat comforting.

By “comforting” I mean that after putting upward of 700 hours into the Souls series, I’m intimately familiar with the general ebb and flow of the combat and I’m soothed by NPC’s elliptical conversations. Farming runes (acquired through kills) to level up my Vagabond (a starting class with high strength and dexterity attributes) is like falling back into an old practice that reliably generates a state of flow.
As for the tweaks, during my brief time with the beta I’d failed to note that Elden Ring pushes the idea of cooperative play more than any other game in the Souls catalogue. ‘Summoning pools’ – designated areas where it’s easy to find other players – generously dot the environment and can usually be found right in front of the lairs where bosses reside. In the original Demon’s Souls there was only the occasional area where you could drop a summons sign to invite other players to your world.
This, to my way of thinking at the time, made soliciting help feel almost like a cheat, as if I was availing myself of a concession on the part of the developers.
By contrast, Elden Ring encourages you to tackle the game’s stiffest challenges with a group.
It makes the game feel less like a lonely endeavour and more like a communal exercise and also takes a bit of the sting out of losing to a boss, making it feel less like a personal failing.
Another aspect of Elden Ring’ that I missed in the beta is its incorporation of a player-controlled horse, a first for a Souls game. In spatial terms, Elden Ring is more expansive than any of the previous titles and traveling about on a horse is a joy.
As a friend and fellow writer texted me, “This game is horrendously addictive – they’ve managed to combine the Dark Souls ‘I’m gonna kill this guy if it takes all day sentiment’ with the Grand Theft Auto/Red Dead Redemption just ride around and look at the pretty sights vibe.”
The added breadth of Elden Ring allows for more down time and intensifies the thrill of setting out into the unknown.
I can hear the murmurous, gently swelling music of Rotview Balcony, a place of crimson skies and arid landscape, playing from the other room where the game is idling as I type this sentence. Elden Ring’s score is a glorious counterpoint to the occasional jankiness of texture clipping and frame-rate fluctuations.
And while I suspect the latter part of Elden Ring may exasperate my patience – I hear that a gauntlet of bosses picks up where the notoriously difficult Dark Souls III: The Ringed City DLC left off – right now, I can’t wait to get back to it.
