Mediation has evolved to a more formalised process adopted by the courts and other bodies to settle disputes including commercial disputes. The potential for mediation as an alternative method for dispute resolution is ever more important. Hence there is a need to better understand and utilise it in Brunei Darussalam. This was underlined by Yang Berhormat Pehin Datu Lailaraja Retired Major General Dato Paduka Seri Haji Awang Halbi bin Haji Mohammad Yussof, Minister at the Prime Minister's Office at the opening ceremony of the Strategic Conflict Management For Professionals. The event took place yesterday morning at the Public Service Department.
The course will equip the participants with the ability to resolve disputes which can be utilised in various situations especially in an organisation, either internally or externally. Also present were Awang Haji Ahmad bin Pehin Orang Kaya Laila Setia Bakti Di-Raja Dato Laila Utama Haji Awang Isa, Attorney General, and Dato Paduka Awang Haji Sufian bin Haji Sabtu, Deputy Minister at the Prime Minister's Office.
