It is my honest feeling that in Brunei we may consider some change to the way we elect Tua Kampongs and Penghulus Political party based democracy will be a huge mistake for Brunei considering the mismanagement and corruption in very many democracies in the developing countries in Asia and Africa. Instead I venture to suggest a party-less, individual moral based rule on the following lines. The elections for Tua Kampongs which are now held at different times must be held at the same time. The Election commission of Brunei( Ministry of Home Affairs) must mange and organise this. Every 1500 people of Brunei should elect a representative( something similar to Tua Kampongs) and those who stand as representatives must be vetted by an Islamic Religion based Council of Experts for their Taqwa, honesty, public service, character and qualifications. Once they are approved to stand, full details of their bio-data, financial particulars, statements of assets ......

It is a geographical accident that crude oil is found in many Middle Eastern countries populated and ruled by Muslims. But as a matter of fact crude oil is a world resource and so only North America and Europe would decide the exploration, extraction, refining and marketing of the commodity That is the view of the neo imperialists. The latest casualty of this doctrine is Mali an African country. The goal of this new war is no other than stripping yet another country of its natural resources by securing the access of international corporations to do it. France is supported by other NATO members. US is providing intelligence . Of course everyone wants a share in the rich booty by replacing one corrupt Admin by another corrupt set of politicians as we saw in Libya.The goal is exploitation. If we are to believe what the French say( as we believed the ......

Recently with the posting, 'reconstruction of Seria Drainage Scheme' has been started since few months ago. This project is support to be improving the drainage flow within Seria town and residency area. But after months of reconstruction, yet no progress has been improved instead it is getting worst. Especially during these raining season, most of the Seria town including the shops and residency area were flooded due to poor drainage around the town. Eventhough, construction is on-going 'massively'(on-looking physically)but contractor seem to be ignore the seriousness of flood around the town. I have noticed most of the time, contractor just taking their time to re-construct but without consent of other road users' difficulty. During school holidays, no work has been done instead just leave the road closure here and there. Time is wasted and nothing has been done to ease the fow of traffic after holidays end. The town area is now looking worst ever than before, roads with holes and some roads are getting narrow with poor safety barrier arrangement. How i hope the Government would seriously look into this matters. JC ...

Our Simpang 165, Kampung Bebatik Kilanas used to be very peaceful Residential Area with a beautiful Road and environment, until a new tenant moved in. It's no longer a Residential Area But a Construction Ware House storing all Construction items as Store. It Doesn't make much noise but damage the Beautiful Road into an Off Road due to heavy equipment, lorry and Trailer carrying heavy loads entering the Simpang. There are cars parked along the Simpang and it has become a one way Simpang, not to mention heavy vehicles or containers are parked just outside their entrance. We Residential of the Same Simpang were Frustrated with the Road being Damaged and we were wondering if the Ware House has "Permit To Work Policy" or is it Approved by Authority by using Residential Housing as Ware House. Are businesses like this allowed to operate in residential areas? Where can we lodge a complaint against this situation ......

Assalam Mualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim To Whom This May Concern Why is it hard to be granted an umrah visa? Why is there a duration to apply for visa? Why need to apply for visa? Dear brothers and sisters of Islam, just to remind that Hajj, Pilgrimage to Mecca is one of our 5 Pillars of Islam which only perform during the month of Zulhijjah. Pilgrimage perform on any other months is called umrah, not mandatory but strongly recommended. Why should it be restricted? Just because Baitullah (Kaabah) is in Saudi Arabia, it doesn't mean that it is their's. So please, make visa no longer required for all Muslim or just reconsider visa application (no closing date) for all Muslim from around the world not just the GCC countries. Brunei government should also take this matter into consideration. Maybe we could tie up MOU regarding this matter with Saudi Arabia since our population ......

I hope MOE (Unit Pendidikan Swasta) read my ranting here. My child is currently attending this well known private school, which is fine for me. ok, my doubt is; why do i have to pay school fee for the month of december? Can MOE enlighten me on this issue? or is it beyond MOE's jurisdiction. I know about running costs and everything but its quite impossible to say for a well established private school with a strong financial stability for decades, lamenting about running costs and so on. Its irrelevant. Please, paying for december is like paying for nothing in return because its a one whole month school holiday, meaning; there's no school! Are all private schools here in brunei levied fee for december? Can someone enlighten me. I know some of you might say that 'kalau inda mampu, tukar pulang ke sekulah lain', yes i can afford to pay. ......

TO WHOEVER IT MAY CONCERN, READ THIS. so recently, my parents got rejected for the recent government housing scheme for both Rakyat Jati and Perumahan Negara. the reason was because my mother has a leased unused land. let me point out a few things, yes it is an offense to have or own any some sort of property BUT does the government not view the financial status of the family BEFORE making a decision? not only you made them wait for....how old am i? 18 years. you gladly told them a few years before recieving their pensions! tell me how are we gonna look for a home in this small period of time? loaning for a house is out of the question cus we are already struggling on our monthly expenses! when filling in the form, the husband/wife can actually lie about their marital status so that the government will give them a home. ......

Hi, I would like to ask why can't Brunei provide those P.Rs, who are born in Brunei, a proper Brunei passport. I am asking this because every time I want to visit a country like Kuala Lumpur, I have to apply for visa, which occupied one whole page and is only valid for 3 months. Imagine if I want to travel frequently in a year. Why can't Brunei provide us a citizenship and segregate it by class. For example: For Local yellow IC - Class 1 For Red IC - Class 2 I don't mind if I still only have the benefit of the red IC, where we cannot apply for housing scheme and such but at the very least we can get to travel without having to apply visa in some countries. Some countries even refuse to let us into their country even with a proper visa, as they cannot accept Identity Certificate book instead of a passport. I went to Korea recently and we were questioned by the officer there, asking us why we are not having a passport. I hate to admit it but sometimes it is a shame to call our self Bruneian but when we are only a PR with no citizenship. ...

TO WHOM It my concern, RE: PROPER SALARY SCALE BASED ON JOB I would like the relevant authorities to review the salary situation in the Brunei gov sector. I'm Not going to talk about pay raise (which is overdue) but more of the scale for different types of profession. First of all, there are five divison with different salary scale. For those who have undergone undergraduate studies and obtain a degree, most of them will fall under division 2. Well this is where the problem begin. I hope I don’t offend anyone here but merely sharing my thoughts. So lets say you graduate with an accounting degree and get recruited to be a finance officer, you will be in division 2. Lets say you graduate with an engineering degree, you will be getting more or less the same salary of an accountant. Or you are in the health profession, you will have ......

I just want to express about my dissatisfaction to certain organisers lately. I am talking about the recent WALK FOR A CAUSE and upcoming LARIAN BANDAR. The recent WALK FOR A CAUSE was not organised. Firstly, the form could not be downloaded and we had to go to the BAIDURI BRANCH to get it. One plus point, the staff was nice so it did calm us down. Another thing was that, we were informed that we would be messaged and informed of the pick-up for shirts. And yet we did not and till last minute Saturday we went to Baiduri to ask and only then was informed to pick up the shirts at BAIDURI FINANCE. And we did this while office hours (BAD!!). And then reached there no more size for us. Wonder why when we filled in the forms we were asked to indicate the size we want and ......

IN REPLY TO CONCERNED PUBLIC RE: How About Making An Exception For Restaurants? It is a pity that you fail to understand that it is a TITAH of HM for the betterment of the Nation. Your lame excuse of not being able to get food is unacceptable. If you are genuinely a patron to any restaurant and solely depend on restaurants for food you have a few options:- 1) Get phone number of the restaurant that you are regular in and call in for a take away order by 11 am and pick up your food before 12noon. 2) When you go out for breakfast, simultaneously take away for your lunch as well; 3) Knowing it is a friday and restaurants will be closed fr 12 noon - 2pm, be hard working cook a meal at home and take it along. Worse to worse make a sandwich; 4) Take a cup ......

Natural calamities may be divided into physical and biological calamities. Earthquakes, floods, cyclones and hurricanes, etc., are examples of physical phenomena which may cause devastation. Widespread diseases, epidemics and pandemics, etc., are the examples of biological calamities. Social Calamities are those which are caused by corruption, injustices, moral disintegration, economic exploitation and political oppression, etc. Accidental Calamities are caused by some accident, such as rail, road, sea and air mishaps. During the time of Biblical prophets God’s chastisement befell a people when they turned against their Prophet and willfully rejected the message of truth, and, secondly, it befell only the opponents of the Prophet without harming the believers. Disasters and calamities, however, should definitely have a lesson in them for every wise person. They must remind us of the temporariness and fragility of our existence in this world. And, every such incident should certainly strengthen our faith in God and remind us of our ......
