Working Visit to DEPS
14 December 2023
BDAC made a working visit to the Department of Economic Planning and Statistics (DEPS). Our delegation to DEPS were headed by our Chief Interim Executive Officer, Awang Omsarule bin Haji Awang Omar and Deputy Interim Chief Executive Officer, Hajah Zuraidah binti POKPI DP Haji Sidek. The meeting was chaired by Acting Deputy Director of DEPS, Heidi Farah Sia Binti Abd Rahman and several representatives from the Department of Economic Planning and Statistics and Department of Consumer Affairs. It was a fruitful discussion for both parties especially on how the consumers in Brunei may benefit from using the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve disputes. BDAC and DEPS further discussed potential collaborations between both institutions to increase awareness on ADR and at the same time to strengthen the public’s access to justice.
