Macdonald played a significant role in safeguarding Brunei’s survival as an independent Malay Islamic sultanate during decolonisa- tion. He prevented Brunei from becoming a British crown colony in 1946 unlike the neighbouring states of Sarawak and North Borneo. Having failed to unite the three North Borneo territories into a federation, he may have concurred with Brunei’s decision to opt out of the Malaysian Federation in August 1963 and thereafter. Due to his empathy with the Brunei sultans, especially Omar Ali Saifuddin the III, MacDonald’s approach for Brunei’s future contradicted the vision of his contemporaries for democratising Brunei. One of the most important and colourful British officials to influence the course of modern Brunei history was Rt. Hon. Malcolm MacDonald (1901–81), Governor-General of the British dependencies of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, North Borneo (now Sabah), and High Commissioner for the Sultanate of Brunei from 1946–1948. Subsequently he was appointed Commissioner-General for the United Kingdom in Southeast Asia and was based in Singapore from 1948–1955.1 Even after leaving the region, he visited Brunei on several missions as a special envoy of the British government until 1979. During this long association with Brunei, he interacted with three successive rulers — Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (r.1929–50), Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin III (r. 1950–1967), and Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah (r.1967–).2 B.A. Hussainmiya is an Associate Professor of History at Universiti Brunei Darussalam.

A first draft of this article was read at the Borneo Research Council Conference, 25–27 July 2012, Universiti Brunei Darussalam. The author would like to thank Professor A.J. Stockwell for his constructive comments and suggestions. 1 Nicholas Tarling, Britain, Southeast Asia and the onset of the Cold War, 1945–1950 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998). 2 Bob Reece, ‘“The Little Sultan”: Ahmad Tajuddin II of Brunei, Gerard MacBryan, and Malcolm Macdonald’, Borneo Research Bulletin 40 (2009): 81–108; B.A. Hussainmiya, 394 B . A . HUSSAINMIYA MacDonald’s diplomatic involvement with the sultans did contribute to the survival of Brunei as an independent Malay sultanate. He was follow- ing in the footsteps, on a lesser scale, of Malcolm Stewart McArthur, a pre- vious British consul and the first Resident of Brunei (1906–08).3 If not for the latter’s advice, Brunei would have been swallowed up by the White Rajahs of Sarawak.4 In comparison, MacDonald’s role was an indirect one — in 1946 he prevented Brunei from becoming a crown colony like its neighbouring states of Sarawak and Sabah which also came under the Foreign Jurisdiction Act of 1890. Moreover, when his original vision of a union of the three Borneo states could not be implemented due to reasons beyond his control, he seemed to have discreetly countenanced the Brunei sultans’ intransigence in keeping out of the Malaysia Federation in August 1963 and thereafter. This article seeks to find a common thread in the official correspond- ence, telegrams, memoranda, dispatches, minutes, and so on that linked MacDonald with Brunei while acknowledging the fact that there were many other factors and actors that determined the course of modern Brunei.5 It is beyond the scope of this article to provide a comparative per- spective of his service in several other colonial territories.6 Brunei was the smallest state he dealt with during decolonisation. By highlighting MacDonald’s dealings in Brunei, this article seeks modestly to add to the literature on his life and career, and also as another episode in the decol- onisation of the British Empire. I have consulted the relevant Malcolm MacDonald Papers at the library of Durham University,7 as well as the Colonial and British Commonwealth Office files. The only extant biography, by Clyde Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin and Britain: The making of Brunei Darussalam (Kuala Lumpur: Oxford University Press, 1995). 3 McArthur’s ideas on rescuing Brunei are republished in M.S.H.

MALCOLM MACDONALD AND BRUNEI 395 Sanger,8 is a useful source. It is based on material in MacDonald’sdraft autobiography ‘Constant surprise’,9 written in his mid 70s, which contains interesting revelations about the Brunei royal family. Macdonald also pub- lished two quasi-autobiographical books — People and places: Random reminiscences of Malcolm MacDonald (1969) and Titans and others (1972).10 As a long-serving public servant and a unique figure in British decolonisation, MacDonald’s career and achievements deserve far more attention by scholars, and as his would-be biographer Peter Lyon states, MacDonald’s role in history has been neglected for far too long.11 Malcolm John MacDonald was the second son of Ramsay MacDonald, Britain’s first Labour prime minister. Malcolm MacDonald became a mem- ber of parliament at the age of 27, a minister by 29, and a cabinet minister by 33.12 Away from mainstream British politics, he became successively high commissioner, governor-general, governor, commissioner-general, high commissioner again, ambassador-extraordinary, special envoy, and held a host of other positions as well. Apart from a stint of five years in Canada as Britain’s high commissioner from 1941, he spent ten years in Southeast Asia, five years in India, and six years in Africa. 8 Clyde Sanger, Malcolm MacDonald: Bringing an end to empire (Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 1995). 9 ‘Constant surprise’, evidently an early (probably the first) draft, MacDonald Papers, Durham University Library (henceforth ‘MacDonald Papers’), MS 121/6/1-263. Some add- itional pages have been inserted at various points, presumably intended to be incorporated in a revision, MacDonald Papers, MS 121/20/1-597. There are various drafts of ‘Constant sur- prise’ with many alterations, repetitions and gaps. For a full list of the MacDonald Papers, see http://reed.dur.ac.uk/xtf/view?docId=ead/pol/macdon.xml (last accessed 13 June 2013). 10 Malcolm MacDonald, People and places: Random reminiscences, S.I. (London: Collins, 1969); Malcolm MacDonald, Titans and others (London: William Collins & Sons, 1972). 11 Peter Lyon came to know the ageing Macdonald well and, having reviewed Sanger’s book, had planned to write another biography. Lyon was the first to see MacDonald’s papers before they were officially weeded and dispatched to Durham, but died in 2010 without com- pleting the biography itself (pers. comm. from A.J. Stockwell, June 2013). Lyon also wrote the entry on MacDonald in the Oxford dictionary of national biography (http://www. oxforddnb.com/index/31/101031388; last accessed 30 July 2014) and ‘Clyde on Malcolm MacDonald: The public and private lives of a British envoy’, Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs 86, 341 (1997): 109–17.

Pada dasarnya Ulama memiliki sifat sebagai pewaris para nabi, mereka beperanan sebagai mursyid dalam masyarakat Melayu. Fenomena ini telah dijelaskan dengan keutamaan nama-nama mereka dalam beberapa bahan nadir seperti manuskrip, batu dan tersilah, hikayat dan sebagainya. Namun para ulama jarang menonjolkannya dalam paparan dengan pendekatan berbentuk syair. Karya "Shear Yang Di-Pertuan" adalah salah satu syair yang pernah ditulis dan dapat dianggap sebagai bagian terpenting dari Brunei Darussalam. Syair ini ditulis oleh Pehin Siraja Khatib Awang Abdul Razak bin Hasanuddin, seorang Ulama Brunei yang terkenal sekitar akhir abad ke 19 dan awal abad ke 20. Terdapat banyak peristiwa penting pada masa pemerintahan Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam II (Sultan Brunei ke 26) yang dipaparkan dalam syair ini. Atas dasar ini, kajian ini akan menerangkan beberapa komponen penting dalam “Syaer Yang Di-Pertuan” dan mengenai bagaimana hubungan umara- ulama berjalan dalam masa yang sama akan mengetengahkan beberapa orang ulama yang terlibat secara langsung kerana mereka ini cukup berpengaruh sebagai penyambung perjuangan menyebarkan Islam di NBD dan berperanan dalam perkembangan kenegaraan dan pentadbiran di Brunei Darussalam.

  • Orang Melabau
    ORANG MELABAU1 Dayang Hajah Joriah binti Haji Metali Kesultanan Melayu Brunei mengalami zaman kegemilangan pada KM XV apabila wilayah teluk rantaunya merangkumi keseluruhan Pulau Borneo dan Selatan Filipina. Pada masa itu pusat pemerintahan tertumpu di kawasan Kampong Ayer sebagaimana ditulis dalam catatan Barat dan China. Struktur pentadbiran negara pada masa itu jugs bertambah kukuh dan mantap. Pada zaman itu tanah jajahan terbahagi kepada laut dan darat. Kawasan laut dikuasai oleh ʹOrang Lautʹ manakala di kawasan tanah kering pula dikuasai oleh ʹOrang Darat.ʹ ʹOrang Daratʹ amat sinonim dengan gelaran ʹOrang Kayaʹ, mereka juga dikenali sebagai ʹOrang Melabau.ʹ Menurut tradisi lisan, orang‐orang Melabau terkenal sebagai keturunan yang kuat berpegang pada ugama, baik, alim serta memiliki ilmu yang diwarisi sejak turun‐temurun. ʹMelabauʹ dari segi istilah bermaksud penguasa di darat. Orang‐orang Melabau pernah diberi gelaran ʹSeri Laila Paduka Orang Kaya Besarʹ yang menjadi bukti bahawa mereka adalah orang‐orang kuat istana. Sistem gelaran ini telah terbukti melalui beberapa penemuan batu nisan kepunyaan orang‐orang Melabau yang menggunakan istilah ʹIbnuʹ dan ʹAl‐ Marhumʹ. Antara orang‐orang Melabau yang terkenal dan masih dikenang sehingga kini ialah Panglima Jais, Orang Kaya Besar Karim, Orang Kaya Besar Imas dan Paduka Seri Wahab. Penyelidikan terhadap batu nisan milik orang Melabau telah dilakukan oleh Unit Takapan dan Unit Sejarah Lisan, Pusat Sejarah Brunei di Perkuburan Bukit Luba, Melabau.2 Batu‐batu nisan yang ada di sana 1 Rencana ini telah diubahsuai untuk keperluan penerbitan dan sebelum ini pernah tersiar dalam Aktif, Bil. 56, Januari dan Bil. 57, Februari 2004. 2 Terletak berdekatan dengan Pusat Persidangan antarabangsa Berakas.

  • Constitutional Documents of All Tcountries in Southeast Asia As of December 2007, As Well As the ASEAN Charter (Vol
    his three volume publication includes the constitutional documents of all Tcountries in Southeast Asia as of December 2007, as well as the ASEAN Charter (Vol. I), reports on the national constitutions (Vol. II), and a collection of papers on cross-cutting issues (Vol. III) which were mostly presented at a conference at the end of March 2008. This collection of Constitutional documents and analytical papers provides the reader with a comprehensive insight into the development of Constitutionalism in Southeast Asia. Some of the constitutions have until now not been publicly available in an up to date English language version. But apart from this, it is the first printed edition ever with ten Southeast Asian constitutions next to each other which makes comparative studies much easier. The country reports provide readers with up to date overviews on the different constitutional systems. In these reports, a common structure is used to enable comparisons in the analytical part as well. References and recommendations for further reading will facilitate additional research. Some of these reports are the first ever systematic analysis of those respective constitutions, while others draw on substantial literature on those constitutions. The contributions on selected issues highlight specific topics and cross-cutting issues in more depth. Although not all timely issues can be addressed in such publication, they indicate the range of questions facing the emerging constitutionalism within this fascinating region.

  • Perkembangan Islam Di Brunei
    TASAMUH: JURNAL STUDI ISLAM ISSN 2086-6291 (p); 2461-0542 (e) Volume 10, Nomor 2, September 2018, 407-421. http://ejournal.stain.sorong.ac.id/indeks.php/tasamuh Perkembangan Islam di Brunei Fikria Najtama Institute Agama Islam Nahdhatul Ulama (IAINU) Kebumen [email protected] Abstract: Brunei has existed since at least the 7th or 8th century. In the history mentioned Islam has come to Brunei since the 7th century, which at that time Brunei has become a center of trade. The king of Brunei Malay kingdom since Sultan Muhammad Shah (1383), is a Muslim sultan who leads the kingdom as well as religious leaders, and is responsible for upholding the implemen- tation of religious teachings in the region. This paper will discuss the development of Islam and the dynamics of Malay politics, reli- gion and traditions in Brunei Darussalam to the present, including how Brunei Islam can pass through the British colonial era with unique conditions, even as they respect Britain as the savior of their country. Brunei reached its heyday from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century at the time of the Bolkiah Sultan, who ruled the entire island of Borneo and the Philippine archipelago, before the arrival of European colonial nations. Together with Malaysia, Brunei was colonized by Britain, and since 1888 the Kingdom of Brunei is a British Commonwealth. After Malaysia Merdeka (1957), Brunei declared its independence on January 1, 1984 from Malaysia. Although not a vast country. Brunei is an Islamic state that plays an important role in maintaining Islamic values in society. This is the success of the mosque coaching program and the advancement of religious education as a top priority.

Alam Melayu telah menyaksikan kemunculan pendidikan Islam ketika mana Islam datang ke alam Melayu kira-kira abad ke-14 atau lebih awal dari itu, menerusi kedatangan pedagang Arab dan India yang beragama Islam. Pertumbuhan dan perkembangan pendidikan Islam di alam Melayu ini dipercayai mempunyai banyak persamaan dari aspek usaha, pendekatan dan faktor yang menyumbang. Pelbagai faktor dikenal pasti yang menyumbang kepada kegemilangan pendidikan Islam di alam Melayu, antaranya sokongan dan dokongan Sultan-Sultan/ Raja-Raja Melayu. Dalam hal ini, kajian deskriptif ini akan menyoroti sumbangan Sultan-Sultan Brunei Darussalam dalam arena pendidikan Islam sebagai contoh bagi usaha pengembangan pendidikan Islam di alam Melayu, bermula dari pendidikan tidak formal sehingga pendidikan secara formal dan penubuhan institusi tinggi Ugama. Kajian ini juga pada waktu yang sama akan menonjolkan pendekatan yang diguna pakai dalam pengembangan pendidikan Islam. Dapatan kajian merumuskan bahawa pendidikan Islam di alam Melayu mempunyai aspek persamaan dalam usaha dan pendekatan yang diadaptasi.

  • Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin 1924-1950: Hubungan Raja Dengan Penasihat
    SULTAN AHMAD TAJUDDIN 1924-1950: HUBUNGAN RAJA DENGAN PENASIHAT Awang Muhaimin Haji Mohamed Pusat Sejarah Brunei Pengenalan Senario pergolakan politik yang begitu meruncing yang dihadapi oleh Brunei ketika itu menyebabkan Sultan Hashim Jalilul Alam Aqamaddin telah mengambil keputusan dengan menerima Sistem Residen1 dan perjanjian tersebut telah dimenterai pada 3 Disember 1905, manakala oleh Sir John Anderson bagi Kerajaan Baginda Queen pada 2 Januari 1906. Satu faktor penting yang menyebabkan diperkenalkan Sistem Residen kerana gagalnya Perjanjian Naungan 1888 yang tidak memberi perlindungan sepenuhnya kepada Brunei. Dalam Perjanjian 1905/1906 ada menyebutkan bahawa, “…residen akan menjadi ejen dan wakil kerajaan bagi Great Britain dibawah Pesuruhjaya Tinggi bagi tanah naungan British di Borneo dan nasihatnya mesti diikut dan diambil tindakan mengenai semua perkara di Brunei, kecuali perkara-perkara yang menyentuh ugama Islam …” .2 Ini bermakna secara teorinya sultan berkuasa tetapi kuasa sebenarnya (real power) berada dalam gengaman residen. Bagi menunjukkan kuasa residen itu begitu luas, residen British J.F. Owen pernah mengancam Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam II untuk memecat baginda dengan diturunkan daripada takhta kerajaan apabila baginda tidak bersetuju mengenai akta tanah yang baru diperkenalkan oleh residen.3 Tanpa mempunyai pilihan lain baginda terpaksa bersetuju terhadap akta tanah tersebut. Kerajaan British melalui sistem residen telah mendaulatkan kuasa dan memertabatkan raja-raja Brunei dengan memisahkan semua kuasa pembesar-pembesar (terdiri daripada 1 Cadangan bagi mengwujudkan Sistem Residen di Brunei ialah daripada pemikiran awal Charles Lucas yang memegang jawatan Penolong Setiausaha Rendah pada 1897.

  • Strategi Awang Haji Kassim Dalam Usaha Menyelamatkan Sultan
    Strategi Awang Haji Kassim dalam Usaha Menyelamatkan Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin: Satu Kajian Awal Nurul Amalina binti Zullkiflee Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali, Negara Brunei Darussalam Email: [email protected] Abstrak Kesetiaan terhadap pemimpin dan curahan kasih sayang terhadap negara menjadi sebab utama negara masih bertahan dengan sistem pemerintahan beraja yang menjadi tunggak kepada kelangsungan kesultanan Negara Brunei Darussalam. Keberadaan Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin (Sultan Brunei ke-27) di Kampong Tantaya semasa Perang Dunia Kedua dan Pendudukan Jepun di Brunei pernah mewarnai sejarah kesultanan Brunei. Melalui tinjauan yang dilakukan, beberapa orang pengkaji lebih cenderung membahas keberadaan Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin di Kampong Tantaya, tanpa melihat kepada strategi yang dilakukan semasa misi menyelamatkan Sultan. Justeru, kajian ini akan memfokuskan strategi Awang Haji Kassim dalam usaha beliau untuk menyelamatkan Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin. Selain itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk sama-sama berkongsi ilmu dan pengetahuan mengenai peristiwa-peristiwa yang pernah berlaku di Negara Brunei Darussalam dengan mengangkat nama tempat-tempat dan tokoh-tokoh yang terlibat, kerana pengkaji yakin sehingga sekarang masih ramai yang belum mengetahui peristiwa yang menjadi sejarah kesultanan Brunei yang jika diteliti dan diperhatikan mampu menyingkirkan kedudukan Sultan sebagai tunggak negara yang bersistemkan Melayu Islam Beraja. Kajian ini berbentuk deskriptif kajian sejarah. Pendekatan kualitatif dilakukan melalui temubual bersama beberapa

Jakarta, 19 Agustus 2011 Bahriyatul Arif ABSTRAKSI Nama : Bahriyatul Arif (105022000832) Judul : Protektorasi Inggris Terhadap Kesultanan Brunei Darussalam (Tahun 1888) Kesultanan Brunei Darussalam merupakan salah satu Kesultanan Islam di tanah Melayu yang dalam perkembangannya mengalamai pasang surut. Kedatangan Islam di Brunei hampir sama prosesnya seperti yang terjadi di kawasan Asia Tenggara pada umumnya, proses ini berlangsung dengan cara damai dan saling mempengaruhi satu sama lainnya. Masuk Islamnya Awang Alak Betatar secara otomatis merubah sistem pemerintahan dari sebuah kerajaan menjadi kesultanan Islam. Ketika Sultan Hashim Jalilul Aqamaddin naik takhta, ia mengambil langkah untuk mempertahankan sisa wilayah Brunei dengan melindungi Limbang ketika Charles Brooke (sepupu James Brooke) menempatinya. Namun demikian, dia tidak mampu melakukannya dan dia tidak berhasil untuk mencegah kerugian lebih lanjut dari caplokan keluarga Brooke.
