  • From October 1St, 2016 Until December 31St, 2016
    LAND REGISTRATION INFORMATION UPDATE Since the transition project of the Land Registration from manual system to the computerized Land Registration System [LRS] in 1985, it was found that a number of registered land owners whom their identification card number were unknown and have been registered temporarily using the identification codes below: 1. Code D: Land owners who were deceased during registration; and 2. Code Z: Land owners who were still alive during registration The use of this temporary identification code is to ease the implementation process of the LRS project which is still being used today. The information on these registered land ownership cannot be updated and no revisions were made due to the following items: 1. There have been no land transactions on the owned lots; 2. The Lands Department is facing difficulties in tracing the land owners in order to update the information in the Land Registration System. With regards to this, cooperation is required from land owners or their heirs to visit any District Land Office to get the “Updating Information on Ownership of Land” forms and to return it after it is completely filled and attached with the required documents. This should be done within 2 weeks of taking the form. The information required is needed for Lands Department to update the owners’ data and the ownership of their land to the Land Registration system. The forms can be downloaded through Lands Department’s website www.tanah.gov.bn or attained and submitted back to the District Land Offices as follows: Location Place Brunei dan Muara Brunei dan Muara District Land Office, 1st Floor, Lands Department building.

  • P. Sercombe Ethno-Linguistic Change Among the Penan of Brunei; Some Initial Observations
    P. Sercombe Ethno-linguistic change among the Penan of Brunei; Some initial observations In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 152 (1996), no: 2, Leiden, 257-274 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/23/2021 05:20:37PM via free access PETER G. SERCOMBE Ethno-Linguistic Change among the Penan of Brunei Some Initial Observations* Introduction Negara Brunei Darussalam (henceforth Brunei) is a small multi-ethnic, multilingual country. The official language is Brunei Malay, and three other dialects of Malay are spoken as well as seven non-Malay isolects (Nothofer 1991:151); among this latter group Iban, Mukah and Penan are considered immigrant to Brunei. The Penan language spoken in Brunei is of the eastern variety1, used by those Penan who occur to the east of the Baram River in Sarawak and within the Kenyah subgroup (Blust 1972:13). Aim This paper aims to examine some non-Penan lexical and discourse features that have been noted in current language use in the Penan language of Brunei (henceforth Sukang Penan), and to compare these with a similar situation in Long Buang Penan in neighbouring Sarawak.2 The main concern here is to show the discrepancy between the position of discrete lexical items and the use of lexis in spontaneous discourse in Sukang. To my knowledge (and Langub's, personal communication) there presently exist no in-depth studies relating to the Penan language varieties of Borneo. To date there have been a number of wordlists published, most * I wish to thank Kelly Donovan for producing the maps and both Peter Martin and Rodney Needham for their valuable comments on earlier drafts of this article.

  • Tropical War Stories: Preserving Oral Histories from World War II Borneo
    eTropic 15.2 (2016): ‘International Day of the Tropics’ Special Edition | 82 Tropical War Stories: Preserving Oral Histories from World War II Borneo Janet E. Marles Creative Arts and Media, James Cook University, Australia Maslin Bin Haji Jukim Academy of Brunei Studies, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei Frank Dhont History, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Brunei Abstract Traditional historical texts predominantly rely on written sources, yet oral accounts add specificity and personal depth to written narratives, particularly where written sources are sparse or unable to provide a comprehensive account of an era. This paper describes a video archive from the tropical island of Borneo. Created with graduate students from Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam across diverse language groups, this oral history project provides an archival database of first person interviews with witnesses to the Japanese occupation of Malaysian Borneo during World War II. These stories add texture and nuance to the current historical narrative, particularly for young Borneans unaware of the turbulent experiences their forebears endured during that period. The archive contributes in many unique ways to the traditional historical record and offers numerous opportunities for further research. Keywords: Japanese Occupation, Brunei Darussalam, Borneo, World War II, Oral History, Archival Data Creation, Intergenerational Collaborative Practice Kisah-Kisah dalam kenangan (Stories through memory) magine waking one morning, taking a quick breakfast, and heading off for school as you usually do.

  • Linguistic and Semiotic Landscape of Tutong Town
    41 Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal. Volume 20, Issue 2: 41-56 Noor Azam Visualising Change: Linguistic and Semiotic Landscape of Tutong Town Noor Azam Haji-Othman Universiti Brunei Darussalam Abstract This article explores the concept of ‘linguistic landscape’ (Landry & Bourhis, 1997) and applies it to the Tutong Town Centre, which was depicted briefly in the film Gema Dari Menara (1968). Due to the cursory and grainy depiction on screen, a study of the present linguistic landscape of the town featured in the film is far more practical than a detailed comparison of the linguistic landscape of Tutong town then and now. In essence the film has provided a geographical scope for linguistic/ semiotic analysis presented in this paper. The study of signs ‘in a given geographical location’ (Ben Rafael et al, 2006: 14), using the distributive count approach, lends itself to a greater understanding of the ethnolinguistic vitality and sociolinguistic interactions of the language groups living in what can be described as a multilingual and multiracial small town. Such evidence of language use in the public sphere results from an interplay of various factors within the town’s societal context, that could be related to Scollon & Scollons’ (2003:2) idea of ‘the social meaning of material placement of sign and discourses'. This study challenges the notion of ethnic languages’ 'disappearance' from public sphere, and instead raises questions about their ‘initiation’ into public use. The study also concludes that the supposed multilinguality of the Tutong Town population is not represented in the linguistic landscape. Introduction At 1:01:21 of Gema Dari Menara (1968), Tutong is mentioned for the first time by Hassan, when he tells Azman (the main protagonist), that he has a set of posters to drop off at Tutong mosque on their way back from Kuala Belait to Bandar Seri Begawan.

  • The Case of Dusun in Brunei Darussalam Hjh. Dyg. Fatimah Binti
    3-5 February 2014- Istanbul, Turkey Proceedings of INTCESS14- International Conference on Education and Social Sciences Proceedings 1053 The Vitality & Revitalisation of a Minority Language: The Case of Dusun in Brunei Darussalam Hjh. Dyg. Fatimah binti Hj. Awg. Chuchu (Dr.) & Najib Noorashid Universiti Brunei Darussalam; Brunei Darussalam [email protected]; [email protected]. Keywords: Language vitality, language revitalisation, language extinction, ethnic minority, Dusun, Brunei. Abstract. Language extinction or language death is a sociolinguistic phenomenon which concerns and is often discussed among linguists or members of speaker in general (Aitchison, 2001; Crystal, 2000; Dalby, 2003; Mufwene, 2004; Nelson, 2007; Fishman, 2002; 2007). Due to rapid globalisation, the effect of linguistic "superstratum-substratum" is inevitable (Crystal, 2003), in particular to those languages of ethnic minorities; those in Brunei Darussalam are not the exclusion (Martin, 1995; Noor Azam, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009; Clynes, 2012; Coluzzi, 2012). These minority languages are inclined to endangeredment due to urbanisation, education system, migrations and others, which lead to language shift and consequently, extinction. Brunei Darussalam is a multilingual country that has a diverse population and cultures which generate variations of language and dialect (Nothofer, 1991; Fatimah & Poedjosoedarmo, 1995; Azmi Abdullah, 2001; Jaludin Chuchu, 2005; David, Cavallaro & Coluzzi, 2009). Recognised as one of the seven indigenous in Brunei under the Citizenship Status laws 1961 of the Constitution of Negari Brunei 1959, Dusun ethnic is alleged to have and practice its own code of dialect. All dialects and languages spoken by indigenous ethnics are regarded as minority languages, except for the dialect of Brunei Malay. By focusing on Dusun dialect, this paper discusses the current situation of its language use and perceptions among the native speakers.
