victims of the Asian tsunami disaster. The CD, called Asia Aid  Hari Baru, 
features four songs specially composed by local songwriters as a tribute to 
the tsunami victims, the Borneo Bulletin reported. RTB will also hold a 
charity concert on 12 February near the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan. More

the disaster. The charity CD will be on sale at the concert and is also 
available from RTB for 7.00 Brunei dollars (just over US$4.00).
Brunei was not hit by the tsunami but has sent 17 tonnes of aid to

volunteers.

(10 February 05)
Singapore's Channel NewsAsia has won two prizes for excellence in 
television reporting at the first Beijing News Awards. Eight foreign 
broadcasters submitted news reports depicting the spirit and culture of 
Beijing for the competition, organised by the Beijing government's 
Information Office. One of the winning reports featured the art of 
cheongsam making. The other focused on elderly Chinese heading back to 
school to learn English as China prepares to welcome visitors during the 
2008 Olympics. Both reports were shot and edited by Channel NewsAsia 
cameraman Leo Chan. The channel, which can be seen via satellite around 
Asia, is expanding its presence in China. It has had a bureau in Beijing 
for five years and will open a second bureau in Shanghai later this year.
