Baiduri Bank marked a proud milestone in its 30-year journey with the official opening of its first overseas Representative Office, located at Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC) Tower 2 in Singapore — one of the region’s most prestigious financial hubs.
Held on 15 May 2025, the launch ceremony was graced by Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Muda Abdul Fattaah, Chairman of Baiduri Bank, senior government officials and business leaders from both Brunei and Singapore.
Yang Amat Mulia Pengiran Muda Dr Abdul Fattaah, officially launched the Singapore Representative Office by lighting up a meticulously crafted 3D replica. The replica features Baiduri Bank’s headquarters and Singapore’s MBFC Tower 2, surrounded by iconic landmarks from both countries— symbolising the strong economic ties between the two nations and a visual representation of the Bank’s growing regional presence and commitment to cross-border collaboration. This was followed by a plaque signing to commemorate the special occasion.
A Doa Selamat was then led by Grand Imam Fahmi Hamdan Ali, offering prayers of gratitude and blessings for continued success.
Guests were subsequently invited on a guided tour of the Representative Office, which has been thoughtfully designed with the future in mind. It features state-of-the-art conferencing facilities, space for future expansion, and a dedicated feature wall showcasing investment opportunities in Brunei, developed in collaboration with the Brunei Economic Development Board. The office also houses a striking high-resolution photographic installation from the BN40 Gigapixel Exhibition, capturing a panoramic composition of Bruneians from all walks of life — including schoolchildren, hospital staff, police officers, and ambassadors — brought together in a single powerful image of national identity and pride.
“The establishment of our Singapore Representative Office marks a strategic step forward in Baiduri Bank’s regional journey,” said Pengiran Muda Abdul Fattaah, Chairman of Baiduri Bank. “It reflects our commitment to strengthening Brunei’s connections with ASEAN’s financial ecosystem and reinforces the Bank’s role in driving regional collaboration.”
Ti Eng Hui, CEO of Baiduri Bank, added: “I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to our clients for their continued trust and to our employees, whose dedication made this achievement possible.”
The launch of the Singapore Representative Office represents a strategic move to strengthen Baiduri Bank’s regional presence, promote its corporate and institutional banking capabilities, and enhance engagement with counterparty banks and financial institutions.
To lead its efforts in Singapore, Baiduri Bank has appointed Mr Young Yi as Chief Representative Officer. A seasoned corporate banker with over 25 years of experience, Mr Young has worked with institutions such as Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Société Générale, ANZ, and Westpac. His strong regional expertise and deep client relationships position him well to drive Baiduri Bank’s presence and engagement in Singapore.
Following the official launch, a celebratory networking reception was held at the Mandarin Oriental Singapore, attended by over 300 distinguished guests, including senior leaders from regional and international banks and financial institutions based in Singapore. The event provided a valuable opportunity for cross-border networking and engagement.
