- 23 June 2022 - The success of BruHealth was the inspiration for a
personal work of art by Her Royal Highness Yang Teramat Mulia Pengiran
Anak Muneerah Madhul Bolkiah binti Duli Yang Teramat Mulia
Paduka Seri Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah
– elder daughter of the Crown Prince of Brunei. Her Royal Highness recently gifted the painting to
EVYD Technology on the occasion of the official opening of EVYD Campus in Jerudong as well as the company's second anniversary.
BruHealth is a COVID-19 pandemic management app co-developed by the
Ministry of Health, Brunei and EVYD Technology, and the two parties are
evolving it further to become a holistic health and wellness app for
every Bruneian.
At a private ceremony to gift the painting, the 11-year-old Princess
revealed that she was inspired by the success of BruHealth in her
painting. She took about one month to complete the painting using sponge
techniques, and worked on it at night and on weekends as well after
school while also preparing for her examinations.
Of her painting, Her Royal Highness said: "The top is more white because
this would be the beginning of the thought process for EVYD's projects.
Then the color gets stronger as the project becomes more solid and, in
the end, BruHealth was born."
She added that the tricky part was figuring out what the focus of the
painting was going to be, and she took a couple of days to figure it
out. After doing some research, she was inspired by the lotus flower,
which rises through the mud and "so beautifully shows the strength, love
and purity it holds despite its challenges," said Her Royal Highness.
"With this painting, I wish for EVYD in Brunei beautiful beginnings, purity, good luck and strength," she added.
Mr Chua Ming Jie, CEO of EVYD Technology, said: "We are honored that Her
Royal Highness Princess Muneerah Madhul Bolkiah has gifted us this
painting for our new campus, where it will take pride of place in our
lobby. We thank her for her good wishes for us, which will spur us on as
we continue our partnership with Brunei to optimize its healthcare
system and help propel the country to the forefront of the health
technology sector globally."
