Brunei HAVE NO FEAR! HAVE YOUR SAY!

Salam. I support totally 100% the Brunei government of issuing the new prepaid electricity unit /meter/ board for the whole nation to apply in their house/ office /business/ etc. Why? Well to those who like to waste and NEVER think of reservation for the "future"... better think twice before you switch on any electrical appliance or gadget for today to day use.   Many in the country had been using this cheap utility for granted and some even left the "bills" climbing and NOT EVEN BOTHERED to pay at all!! What a shame. I thought we Bruneians are well educated, caring and being responsible in what we do, say or act. Simply because of some naughty individuals, the whole nation gets the treatment and ask to move from post-paid to pre-paid meters. I can't agree more. Hope that this move will "educate" our people to conserve as well as responsibly use their ......

Salam. Aku mempunyai perniagan kecil-kecilan, dan sudah maju sejak 3 tahun yang lepas. Baru-baru ni ada orang yang membuka perniagaan yang sama macam aku. Niaga mereka pada awalnya tidak maju, beliau dengki melihat perniagaan ku yang maju sebab barang-barang yang dijualnya hampir sama.   Setelah 5 bulan, perniagaan ku kini hampir kosong tiap-tiap hari. Yang hairan perniagaan jiran ku pulang maju sekali. Tiada hasad dengki dari ku tapi, ku rasa aku sedang dianiya dengan dipakai ilmu yang dibuat-buat oleh jiran ku.   Sewa ku tetap jalan walaupun perniagaan ku kosong. Aku tidak mahu mengenakan sesiapa, tapi mahu minta tolong kepada orang yang pandai berubat untuk bersihkan balik kedai ku.   Itulah tujuan ku disini, nak minta tolong orang ramai yang siapa-siapa kenal orang yang pandai berubat untuk kasihani aku dalam situasi yang sungguh mendadak ini dan tolong lah saya untuk perkenalkan orang berubat yang boleh membantu aku. Tolong balas arah e-mel :- john21173@yahoo.com   Semoga Allah merahmati kita! ...

The prices of essential household goods are soaring like Rocket, low in come people are suffering hand to mouth. How come prices are increasing almost weekly, isn't there any dept. in charge to check on daily essential household goods? Salaries we earn remain the same but prices are soaring, how to survive and feed our families? Please I hope some govt. dept can look into this price increasing game. Retailers are earning bigger profits and we the low income earners are struggling to survive!!! ...

Recently I went to Giant Rimba with my family. I was rather shocked to see how many mini2 booths/stalls are lined up, limiting the walk ways. There are about 3 rows in one walk way. Firstly limiting movement place for the public and secondly, if some fire or emergency were to happen, how are ppl. to run for safety with all these stalls blocking most of the walkways? With small kids and elderly people, in cases of emergency it would lead to stampede due to overcrowding the place with such stalls. I guess the management of Giant or any other such complexes should consider safety of the public and not just profits by renting out more and more stalls. The Fire Dept. personnel in charge of licensing should make a round there or any other complexes that operate such stalls. Safety First. ...

Speaking of Private Company in Brunei Darussalam, everyone can expect to see A LOT OF FOREIGNER rather than Local Bruneian working in the company. i just want to share about a private company which is one of the branch of international company. What i want to say is, the company is not 100% local company. The license is owned by a local Bruneian but the Company itself is manage and owned by foreigner!! Our, manager, supervisors, officers, operators, mechanics and etc are mostly the foreigner..We the local will be put as the lower staff..they don't and wont put us as the important role in the company. the issues are: 1. Local will be given a VERY LOW salary with less benefit compare to the FOREIGNER.foreigner will get BND 2k per person or the least one is $900. but not just that, the foreigner is really pampered by the company, they will get food allowance like $900 per month.. rent for the staff house 1k +, car $300+.. just imagine how much is the foreigner earned compare to the local? is it fair? how much local get? $600 after deduct tap n scp only $550+?? the foreigner can get $2900?? (the amount is roughly, but its true) 2. foreigner always rude to the local, they treat local such as their "kuli". the our management is a foreigner..so they never treat local good.. we dont really happy work with the company. but when we have to work as to feed our family, we bare it.. we are having stress at work everyday.. 3. Additional allowance? why us whom work at the oil and gas sector does not receive allowance ? the kurnia? we are bruneian citizen.. oil and gas is the main income for brunei, then why we dont have the special appreciation from the govt? because ......

Why is there no salary scale in the private sector? I mean the most important is the minimum salary scale for the local who work in the private sector?   The oil and gas companies are getting more and more, they gained income from the oil and gas that owned by Brunei Darussalam. Then why?? The local Bruneian who work in this sector are always neglected? Why always the government servants get the benefits?   When can Local Bruneian be taking care of? Really take care of by the labour dept? They collect the salary statistic. But is it acceptable when you have family and kids to take care of but yet your income is $550 only?? ...
