NEG Volunteers - Thank you!

Assalamualaikum semua,

Thank you very much to our NEG volunteers yesterday. This does not only apply to those who registered themselves as ‘volunteers’ but also to those who just popped out of the crowd to offer a helping hand. Alhamdulillah, the NEG went smoothly. There are volunteers who truly impressed me yesterday. MasyAllah. Some did beyond their assigned task, and I very much appreciate your full commitment and sense of responsibility to your assigned or unassigned tasks. MasyAllah. I am very grateful. Without being briefed in the morning, you took the challenge into you own hands, and looked past our flaws without protest and criticism. God bless you, guys. There were also some administrative flaws, but with ikhlas, sabar and full dedication, you guys worked it out. You made it happen. This may be a cliché, but you know it’s true, that without you guys it would’ve been messy.

This is what we call a genuine BNS support. True supporters don’t bring BNS down, they support. Unity brings strength.

I may be running around the place here and there yesterday, but I was aware of each and every one of you, you guys were brilliant! Such reliable supporters. Thank you so much for your fantastic support! Eh, manis eh, kamu atu ah.

Love,

Vice President. 

Winner of BNS Motto Competition

Assalamualaikum everyone,

Thank you to all who entered the BNS Motto Competition to win the £5 Primark voucher! We had a difficult yet entertaining time judging them. All were heartfelt and gave us a great insight into your experience with BNS in Newcastle. We wish we could have given you all a prize but there can be only one winner and so..

 CONGRATULATION to RUZANNA ZAINAL ABIDIN whose motto is:

Unity brings strength

We thought this captures the essence of what we are. Even though we are small in number, when we are united, we achieve such an endurable stability, progress, peace, success and strength, that we are able to achieve numerous accomplishments which we won't be able to achieve  if we stand alone. And, as Zanna added "we work as a family to make this place away from home, "feels like home".

So, congratulations Zanna! You've bagged yourselves a £5 Primark voucher! And to the other participants, thank you for your creative entries! :)

Wassalam,

BNS Motto Competition 2011 - Correction!

Assalamualaikum semua,

There has also been a text message being circulated regarding our BNS MOTTO COMPETITION 2011 to members.

We would like to apologize for the mistake in the message, where it says "A poll will be cast soon..." - No, there won't be any poll. The winner will be decided by votes from committee members; where the names of candidate(s) will remain confidential even to voters, throughout the voting process in order to guarantee unbiased decision through anonymity.


Many love,
Atiqah Ismail.
