Jawatankuasa Kebangsaan Nama Geografi

From RTB news, 6th August 2008:
The country is often urged to work in synergy with various agencies and institutions to implement projects. The Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports says the implementation of a project the synergical way is very good because the results are obtained from various opinions. Retired Major General Pehin Dato Seri Pahlawan Haji Mohammad made the remarks at the launching of the Geographical Names National Committee Website, Tuesday. The Minister said the results from working through synergy will be more authoritative and authentic, and would be implicitly accepted by the public. The committee involves more than ten departments including University of Brunei Darussalam. One of the activities of the committee is to create its own website which allows the local and global community to access complete and quick information on local geography. The United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names of which Brunei Darussalam is one of the member countries, has called on all its member countries to have their own toponymic website, state catalogue of geographical names and toponymic guidelines of standardization.
