The Charity Workshop was organized and promoted by Dr. Lee Wilson on the 4th and 5th April 2009. It was held in Darwin College in Cambridge. The workshop covered 10 hrs of training session over a 2 days period.

The charity seminar was held to raise money to help Vince Nurse, a close friend, to whom the mother to his children was brutally murdered in Bristol, England. We hear stories in the news but most of us are unprepared to hear it being close to the person we know.

Dr. Lee Wilson has agreed to help organize a charity seminar to help in the effort.

The event was supported by individuals who love the martial arts. We were also supported by the Alun Williams of The Goshinkwai Total Body Defence Organization in Wales who a donated their Award winning instructional DVD; and Ustaad Harjinder Singh of Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Gatka Group (BDSG) from Birmingham, who donated wooden staffs to be sold for the fund-raising. We raised a respectable £460 from the event. All proceeds was forwarded to the Nurse Family.

On behalf of Vince Nurse we would like to extend our sincere appreciation for ALL those who supported the event.

This event also aims to raise the curiosity and awareness among people from different nationalities about the martial heritage and culture of Brunei Darussalam in general.

A quick note:

As mentioned above the charity was held in Darwin College, Cambridge, I would like to point out that it was held in the former house of the famous Charles Darwin, the naturalist who started the modern evolutionary theory, you know the "monkey evolving into man" theory. The College was named after him. That was just one of the most amazing experience to be conducting a seminar in the House of Charles Darwin.

Just imagine how many intellectuals in the past century has walked those corridors and passing thier theories on life and education; knowing to be the 1st Bruneian to conduct and instructional lesson there makes me quite proud to be honest :) How many Bruneian can say they have taught in the same room Charles Darwin "could have" written his famous book "On the Origin of Species".

SINCERE APOLOGIES

I would like to convey my sincere apologies for the individuals and groups of people who has sent me emails of enquiries, emails of support and encouragement.

As I am managing a major part of SSBD worldwide, in regards to the amount of emails that I get every week, I get an average of 55 to 60 emails a week. Due to my constantly travelling around the world, I would like to kindly ask for your understanding and patience if I do not or am late to reply to your emails.

To help get your answers faster, if you have any enquiries about SSBD seminars, study groups or trainin groups in your country or close to your area, please email the independent organizers or group leaders close to your country or area. They will help accomodate your enquiries. But please also be patient as most of them are not full-time martial artists, they have other responsibilities as well.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

All the best in your training.

MAKLUMAN

Adalah untuk pengetahuan semua, Silat Suffian Bela Diri pada masa ini bukanlah di bawah PERSIB (Persatuan Silat Brunei Darussalam).

Silat Suffian Bela Diri pada masa ini adalah di dalam "proses perundingan" untuk mendaftarkan nama ke PERSIB (Persatuan Silat Brunei Darussalam). Pada awal tahun 2009, iaitu pada bulan Januari, saya Maul Mornie telah pun membuat perjumpaan dan perundingan dengan Pg Hj Mohammad (President PERSIB) termasuklah dengan Pg Hj Jaludin (Secretary General PERSIB) dan Pg Karim (Tresurer PERSIB). Ini adalah perjumpaan pertama kali bercakap mengenai pendaftaran.

Oleh kerana jadual saya sangat padat mengajar di luar negara, process ini mengambil masa yang lebih lama dari yang di harapkan. Saya juga meminta pihak yang tertentu untuk bersabar dan memberi tolak ansur yang sepatutnya di dalam proses ini.

Hasrat saya di dalam membuat kenyataan ini adalah supaya tiada pihak yang cuba untuk mengelirukan cerita yang boleh memburukkan nama saya dan nama keluarga, atau cuba untuk melambatkan lagi proses pendaftaran.

Kita mestilah bersifat professional untuk memajukan lagi Tradisi Silat Brunei Kitani ke mata dunia. Sebagai orang Brunei kita mesti lah tolong menolong memajukan satu sama lain.

Yang Benar;
Maul Mornie
