Haji Awang Abu Bakar bin Haji Apong Menteri Kesihatan Lebih banyak keterangan akan diperolehi dikeluaran Negara Brunei Darussalam akan datang Dari Meja Menteri Kesihatan HealthyBruneiSihat•5 Cover Story Advocates HIS MAJESTYHealthy Living His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, is the 29th of his line, which dates back to the 14th century. Now, at the age of 58, His Majesty is the epitomy of health. With a great interest in sports and outdoor activities, His Majesty is a revered polo player, who has excelled in matches against international teams both locally and outside the state. His Majesty strongly advocates healthy living in the monarchy and points out that everyone should take a serious interest in taking care of their own health, and that the Nation’s health should not be the task of the Ministry of Health alone… through his personal involvement in the nation’s health activities, like the walkathon event held at Taman Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien, organised by the Royal Brunei Armed Forces, and the hiking and aerobics at the Bukit Shahbandar, organised by the Royal Brunei Police Force. His Majesty views the promotion of health as a process, which will allow the Bruneian people to be more aware and be better informed on health matters, thus enabling them to take a deeper interest in their personal health and well being. This will ultimately improve the health of the nation, holistically. “Health should be everyone’s business,”
