π A Special Milestone for Shannen π
A truly meaningful and memorable milestone for Shannen, as he was officially awarded His Majestyβs Government Special Scholarship for the 2026/2027 academic session, giving him the wonderful opportunity to continue his pre-university education at Jerudong International School (JIS).
The scholarship was presented by Datin Seri Setia Dr Hajah Romaizah binti Haji Mohd Salleh, Minister of Education, and Shannen received his scholarship certificate together with a brand-new laptop, which will support him throughout his studies. π»πβ¨
We were unfortunately unable to attend this special occasion as we were in Singapore for work. However, our hearts are filled with gratitude to the wonderful scholarship parents who represented us and, more importantly, took the time to assist Shannen with transportation and made sure he was well taken care of during this important day.
Thank you so much, Puan Annie, Dayangku Masdiana, and especially Siti Maryam. β€οΈ Your presence, kindness and willingness to help our son when we could not be there ourselves mean more to us than words can express.
βWe will always remember the people who stood beside us when they didnβt have to. Their support meant more than words can expressβand taught us that true family is measured not by blood, but by who stays when it matters most.β
We are deeply grateful to His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muβizzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar βAli Saifuddien Saβadul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, for this invaluable opportunity and investment in the future of Bruneiβs young people.
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to Datin Seri Setia Dr Hajah Romaizah binti Haji Mohd Salleh, Minister of Education, and the Ministry of Education Brunei Darussalam, for believing in our children and providing them with opportunities to learn, grow and reach their full potential.
We are incredibly proud of you, Shannen. β€οΈπ§π³
May you embrace this opportunity with gratitude, work hard, remain humble, and continue to make the most of every door that God opens for you.
Congratulations, Shannen! ππ
A new chapter begins.
