BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: In a bid to obtain a stable revenue for the Brunei Basketball Association (BBA), the association is hoping to increase its facilities at the BBAs basketball court in Batu Bersurat by building a canteen and a car display box in front of the building to rent out to car dealers in the country, Borneo Bulletin reported.
The many ideas to bring in more revenue for the association were highlighted by Mr Gob Kim Tian, the President of the Brunei Basketball Association during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) yesterday.
In an interview, Mr Gob said, “Next year, we are planning to build a canteen to be leased out to an operator. This will bring a stable income for the association. The canteen will be located beside the basketball building in Batu Bersurat.”
Another source of income, he suggested, “is the renting out of a car display box just in front of the building next to the main road leading toward Batu Bersurat. We are seeking the government’s approval to b,uild such a showcase.
“If it’s approved, this will be another means to generate revenue.”
For basketball players, in the country, the assocation plans “to increase the standard of the basketball court and renovations will be carried out next year”.
During the AGM, the members also recalled the activities of last year, namely the Lunar New Year celebration that saw excellent students being given scholarships, various tournaments that were successfully hosted by BBA and also the BBA veteran team winning the Macau Invitational Tournament in Macau.
The financial report 2012 for the Brunei Basketball Association was also tabled at the meeting.
