The event runs from September 5\u20137 at Mak Besar\u2019s Grand Market in the Suntec Convention &amp; Exhibition Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 20 Brunei businesses are taking part, showcasing food and drinks, fashion, lifestyle items, crafts, and even travel experiences to attract Singaporean consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brunei\u2019s High Commissioner to Singapore, Her Excellency Hjh Noor Qamar Hj Sulaiman, officially opened the event. She praised BEDB\u2019s work to help local small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) <strong>expand<\/strong> into Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2023, BEDB has helped Brunei products enter the Singapore market. First, through a partnership with Mustafa Centre, then through <strong>retail<\/strong> distribution at Meat Aliyah Rizq in Woodlands, and soon through an online store called Flavours of Brunei with distributor Lim Siang Huat. So far, 12 Brunei MSMEs are already active in one or more of these <strong>retail<\/strong> channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to H.E. Hjh Noor Qamar, the upcoming Flavours of Brunei <strong>platform<\/strong> will make Bruneian products more accessible not only in Singapore but also to international customers. She also said that Brunei Week helps <strong>promote<\/strong> the country\u2019s <strong>heritage<\/strong>, culture, and business connections with Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, BEDB\u2019s partner agency, DARe (Darussalam Enterprise), encouraged Brunei businesses to use the event to meet customers and partners. DARe has supported local companies with training, financing, and <strong>retail<\/strong> space. Its Bruneian Made program, which offers shelf space in supermarkets and a store at The Mall, has helped companies gain experience locally before exporting overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sub>Source: Biz Brunei<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-3\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprehension Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer the questions following the article in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where and when is Brunei Week in Singapore being held?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many Brunei businesses are participating?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What kinds of products are being showcased?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is \u201cFlavours of Brunei\u201d?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How has DARe supported Brunei businesses locally?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-4\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk about these topics with your tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your own words, attempt to summarise the article in 4 sentences or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"rtoc-5\"  class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss these topics with your tutor, and support your answers with examples or experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why do you think Singapore is an important market for Bruneian products?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How can events like Brunei Week benefit small businesses?<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What challenges might Brunei MSMEs face when entering overseas markets?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contents Vocabulary Article Comprehension Questions Summary Discussion Vocabulary Promote \/ \u5ba3\u4f1d\u3059\u308b (\u52d5\u8a5e) \u2013 to adv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-04-news-intermediate","tag-brunei"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1695,"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314\/revisions\/1695"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.simporacademy.jp\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
