The functions of the Privy Council are to advise the Sultan in relation to the amendment or revocation of any of the provisions of the Constitution, as well as on the appointment of persons of Malay customary ranks, titles, honours and dignities; OL the exercise of the prerogative of mercy; and on any other matters at the Sultan's request. The supreme executive authority is vested in the Sultan. However, the Constitution provides that, in t he exercise of his powers and in the performance of his duties, the Sultan shall, subject to certain specified exceptions, consult -1- BRUNEI with his Executive Council, which is in effect the chief executive body of the State. All of the fifteen members of the Executive Council, with the exception of the High Commissioner, the State Financial Officer and one other member, are inhabitants of Brunei. The Legislative Council passes laws for the peace, order and good government of the State, subject to the assent of the Sultan. In addition to the Chief Minister (Mentri Besar), who presides, there are fourteen official members, three nominated members and sixteen elected members. As a temporary measure, until arrangements can be made for elections to be held, the elected members are nominated by the Sultan. The Government had declared its intention of holding elections before the end of October 1962. In November 1961, when the Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom and the Federation of Malaya declared that the creation of a Federation of Malaysia was a desirable aim, they stated that the views of the Sultan of Brunei were being sought. In December 1961 the Sultan announced that he had instructed his Government to study the proposal for a Federation of Malaysia and to obtain the opinions of the Brunei people on it. Public Service Of the officers in the Public Service 'in 1961, thirteen were pensionable overseas officers, forty-nine were non-pensionable overseas officers, and eighty were local and other officers. By their main occupations, the eighty local and other officers were classified as follows: medical and dental, twelve; nursing, twelve; education, thirteen; public works, ten; and others, including agriculture, forests, lGbour, police, etc., thirty-three. Training facilities There are no local training facilities. Officers are sent for training overseas. In 1961, 133 members of the Public Service were being trained overseas, comprlslng 107 Malays, twenty-two Chinese, and four of other origins. Ninety-six of these Public Service members were studying in the Federation of Malaya, seventeen in Singapore, nine in Australia, eight in the United Kingdom, one in New Zealand, one in the Philippines and one in Sarawak. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The prcduction of oil is the principal industry and chief source of employment and income. The value of external trade decreased from ;~M361.:!) million in 1959 to $M311 million in 1960 and ~p M288 million in 1961 • However, the favourable balance .:!) The local currency is the Malayan dollar ( ;.~M) which equals 2s .4d. sterling or $US0.327. -2- BRUNEI of trade continued, being $M172 million in 1961, compared with \iiM185 million in 1960 and $M235 million in 1959. In the course of the formulation of the next development plan a study was made of the economic situation of Brunei, including the economic trend for the period 1955-1960. AGRICULTU'il.E, LIVE-STOCK, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES In 19611, replanting of rubber was carried out in certain areas. The total area planted under the first planting scheme was 2,400 acres, at a cost of $M444,446. Exports of sheet rubber totalled 1,763 long tons, valued at $M3,076,110, a decrease of 392 long tons. The decline in production was caused by the low price of sheet rubber in 1961. Research carried out in 1961 included varietal, fertilizer, planting and cultivation trials for rubber, and fertilizer trials for coco-nuts. To increase production of foodstuffs, export crops and live-stock remained the basic policy of the Department of Agriculture. Its budget for 1961 was $M940,310, compared with ~M911,760 in 1960 and $M821,194 in 1959.

The Department's budget for 1961 was $M212,532, compared with $M192,958 in 1960 and $M17 4, 771 in 1959. The first draft of the Manual of Brunei Dipterocarps and the preliminary draft of the ecological investigations undertaken in 1958 were completed by the Forest Botanist. The value of heavy hardwoods produced in 1961 was m~153,787, compared with $M59, 620 in 1960 and ~~M1 39, 800 in 1959; the corresponding figures for light and medium hardwoods were ~M2 ,138,346, ~M62 ,948 amd $M1,255,500. The value of jelutong rubber exported was ~~M496,000 in 1961, compared with ~~M630,000 in 1961 and $M553,000 in 1959. Fisheries development has increased considerably, owing mainly to the use of fast outboard-engined boats and the facilities offered by the Government in loans.

A geological survey, started in 1957, was completed, and the report was published in 1960. The production of oil has been decreasi ng.

In addition to this 75 kw set, two unmanned sets of 18 kw and 12.5 kw were installed in Muara power station and a 5.5 hours daily supply was given. The Kuala Belait and Seria areas continued to get bulk supplies from the Brunei Shell Petroleum Company Ltd., generating plant at Seria. Total units generated and purchased by the Electrical Department for industrial and domestic consumption were 9,498,187 in 1961, compared with 9,158,289 in 1960 and 8,029,676 in 1959. -4- BRUNEI ,, TRANSPORT AND C01/IMUNICATIONS There are 279 miles of roads, consisting of bitumen, metalled, gravel and earth roads, and bridle paths. Roads were improved during 1961 by surfacing, ii widening and straightening, but progress was slow owing to lack of heavy earth­ moving equipment.

Some Notes on the Malayan Law of Negligence A. E. S. Tay* and J. H. M. Heah** T HE TERM "MALAYA" COVERS what are now two distinct political units: the fully independent Federation of Malaya and the semi-independent State of Singapore, which have emerged from a tangle of British settlements and colonies and British-protected Malay states. The State of Singapore has sprung from the Crown Colony of Singapore, which between 1826 and 1946 formed part of the larger Crown Colony of the Straits Settle- ments. The two remaining Straits settlements-Penang (includ- ing Province Wellesley) and Malacca-together with nine Malay states' have become the Federation of Malaya. Although Penang and Malacca, as British territories, have a very different legal history from that of the Malay states, their welding together into a political unit has been followed by legislation giving statu- tory foundation for the application of the English common law throughout the Federation; the historical differences, then, have lost their practical point.

(Chapter VI). This comprehensive study examines the problems of economic develop- ment of the Federation of Malaya and the State pf Singapore based on data obtained through on-the-spot suiveys ofthe two countries. The study analyses the economic structure of the two countries, and other matters related to their economic development. This study does not purport to be the kind of theoretical analysis which makes use of the models and hypotheses of modern economics. The writers have discussed the following points : recognition of the peculiar characteristics of Malayan politics, economy and society ; study - of the historical process of economic developinent ; outline and character- istics of economic development plan ; examination of problems during the process of economic development ; role of foreign investments ; and status and future prospects of development 6f mineral resources.

    Impacts of Colonialism - A Research Survey 1 Patrick Ziltener University of Zurich, Switzerland zaibat@soziologie .unizh.ch Daniel Kunzler University of Fribourg, Switzerland daniel.kuenzler@un ifr.ch Abstract The impacts of colonialism in Africa and Asia have never been compared in a systematic manner for a large sample of countries. This research survey presents the results of a new and thorough assessment of the highly diverse phenomenon - including length of domination , violence, partition, proselytization, instrumentalization of ethno-linguistic and religious cleavages, trade, direct investment, settlements, plantations, and migration - organized through a dimensional analysis (political, social, and economic impacts). It is shown that while in some areas, colonial domination has triggered profound changes in economy and social structure, others have remained almost untouched. Keywords: Colonialism, political, economic and social impact s, Africa, Asia There is a stron g tradition of empirical-quantitativ e research from a world systems­ perspective (see, among other s, Bomschier and Chase-Dunn 1985). This research, howev er, has until recently been confined to indir ect mea suring of historicall y earlier factors, although it stresses theoreticall y the importance of long-term historical factors. According to Sanderson, world-systems analys is "tends to ignore the pre capitalist history of these societies [... ] this history often turns out to be of critical importance in conditioning the way in which any given society will be incorporat ed into the capitali st system and the effects of that incorporation" (Sanderson 2005: 188). For Kerbo (2005a: 430), scholarship has "yet to consider that East and Southeast Asian countries more generall y are somehow different from Latin American and African nations when it comes to important aspects of political economy that might interact with the affects of outside multin ational corporate investment.
