HSBC SPONSORS T-SHIRTS FOR UN ANTI-DRUG INITIATIVE

HSBC presented a donation worth B$9,000 to the Anti-Narcotics Bureau at the 
Prime Minister's Office. The t-shirts that were handed over to the bureau 
is in support of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit 
Trafficking to be held at The Mall this Sunday.

The contribution was presented by Mr Guy Priestley, Chief Executive Officer 
of HSBC, to Acting Director of Anti-Narcotics Bureau, Awang Haji Abdul 
Majid bin Mangarshah, at the bank's main office in Bandar Seri Begawan 
yesterday.

The donation from HSBC Brunei such as this one is one of the ways that HSBC 
shows its care for the local community and that it can do business while 
being a supportive and responsible corporate citizen, said Mr Priestley at 
the event.

"HSBC is pleased to support this initiative because we fully subscribe to 
the message and theme of the United Nations' International Anti-Drugs Day 
this year which is 'Value Yourself, Make Healthy Choices'," he said.

The event on June 26 will feature various activities including stage 
performances, exhibition and a drawing contest where HSBC will also support 
the event by presenting its booth on that day.
