Brunei Shell Marketing Co. Sdn. Bhd. (BSM) hosted a ‘Majlis Berbuka Puasa’ or breaking of fast event with orphans at Serambi Bati Hall, Tarindak d’Seni on 13 March 2025. The event was part of BSM’s Ramadhan Social Investment initiatives. Ramadhan is a month that encourages self-reflection, compassion, and generosity—values that align closely with BSM’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment to fostering strong relationships with the community. In line with Islamic teachings that emphasise caring for orphans and those in need, BSM remains dedicated to supporting initiatives that promote unity, kindness, and social well-being.

The event began with a recital of Surah Al-Fatihah by BSM Retail Executive, Norasman Suleiman. This was followed by the presentation of donations, contributed by BSM staff and handed over by BSM Managing Director, Captain Mohammed Alexirwan bin Haji Omar, to 100 orphans registered under the Community Development Department (JAPEM).

Prior to the breaking of fast, Yang Mulia Hj Mohd Loqman Al Hakim bin Hj Hamdan from Al-Huffaz Management, delivered a talk titled “Menyemai Kasih, Menuai Berkat”. The talk emphasised the importance of compassion and giving, highlighting how small acts of kindness can create lasting impact. It also underscored the blessings (barakah) that come from supporting those in need, in line with Islamic values and corporate social responsibility.

BSM hopes that the donations will provide meaningful support to the recipients with their families and bring them joy during the holy month. By sharing a meal and engaging in meaningful conversations, BSM aspires to create cherished moments that reflect the spirit of Ramadhan and the values of kindness and generosity.

Through Social Investment programmes such as this, BSM remains committed to working closely with its stakeholders in contributing to community development and moving forward together with the nation.
