The resettlement programmes began as early as 1951 when the residents of Kampung Bendahara Lama of Kampung Ayer were resettled to Bunut Resettlement Area in Mukim Kilanas of the Brunei- Muara District. Two years later, in 1953, similar resettlement was also carried out for residents of Kampung Burong Pingai Berakas, Kampung Pancha Delima, Kampung Pengiran SiRaja Muda, Kampung Anggerek Desa and Kampung Orang Kaya Besar Imas, all of which are in Mukim Berakas of the same district.

  • Brunei Darussalam: Royal Absolutism and the Modern State
    Kyoto Review of Southeast Asia Issue 13 (March 2013): Monarchies in Southeast Asia Brunei Darussalam: Royal Absolutism and the Modern State Naimah S. Talib Adjunct Fellow, Political Science Department, University of Canterbury Brunei Darussalam (Abode of Peace) is a small, independent state with the only ruling monarchy in Southeast Asia. Since achieving independence from Britain in 1984, the Brunei monarchy has managed to consolidate its power and now has almost unchallenged control over the state. What explains the durability of Brunei’s absolute monarchy? This article argues that the Brunei monarchy has been successful in centralizing power in the office of the Sultan, has drawn on traditional and religious sources of legitimacy and has shown itself to be a stable regime. It has managed to avoid demands for political reform by making effective and expeditious use of its hydrocarbon revenues through the provision of extensive and generous welfare programmes. A neo-traditional polity, the Brunei Sultanate has demonstrated its adaptability and resilience in a changing global environment. Historical Background The Sultan of Brunei (Yang Di-Pertuan Negara) is part of a long-line of hereditary Sultans ruling continuously for 600 years. The present Sultan, Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, is the 29th ruler. Brunei has a small population of around 400,000, comprising 66% Malays,1 and is divided into two enclaves, each surrounded by the east Malaysian state of Sarawak. After reaching its peak of power in the sixteenth century, the Sultanate declined and in the nineteenth century, its territory dwindled under pressure from the Brooke Rajahs in neighbouring Sarawak.

  • Introduction 1. Brunei's Present Constitution Is Based on the Original
    WT/TPR/S/84 Trade Policy Review Page 16 II. TRADE AND INVESTMENT POLICY REGIME (1) GENERAL CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK (i) Introduction 1. Brunei's present Constitution is based on the original Constitution drawn up in 1959 and amendments made between 1971 and 1984; in 1984, Brunei resumed full political independence and took over responsibility for its own defence and foreign relations from the United Kingdom. The Constitution provides for the Sultan of Brunei as the Head of State, with full executive authority. Under the Constitution, the Sultan is assisted and advised by five councils, including the Council of Ministers or the Cabinet, and the Legislative Council, although, in practice, the Legislative Council has been suspended (in accordance with the Constitution) since 1984.1 As a consequence, the power to promulgate new laws is currently vested solely in the Sultan; all new laws are now made under the provision of Section 83(3) of the Constitution as "Orders". (ii) The Executive 2. Executive authority rests with the Sultan of Brunei assisted and advised by five councils: the Religious Council, the Privy Council, the Council of Ministers, the Legislative Council, and the Council of Succession. 3. The Religious Council, at present consisting of 17 members, provides advice on matters relating to Islam; the Privy Council, which has 34 members, advises the Sultan on any amendment or revocation of any constitutional provisions, the Sultan's power to grant mercy, and the award of honours; the Council of Succession determines succession to the throne, in the event that this is required; the Legislative Council was dissolved in 1984 (section (iii) below).

  • Brunei: Building And
    Brunei: Building and Enshrining an Absolute Monarchy Rabiqah N. H. B. M. Yusof Master of Philosophy 2017 Brunei: Building and Enshrining an Absolute Monarchy Rabiqah Natasha Halim Binti Mohamed Yusof Degree awarded by Oxford Brookes University A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Oxford Brookes University for the degree of Master of Philosophy March 2017 Rabiqah N. H. B. M. Yusof 1 March 2017 Abstract Abstract Brunei Darussalam is one of the few remaining absolute monarchies in the world today. In an era that sees countries move towards democratisation, Brunei has moved towards the entrenchment of its absolute monarchy. With that in mind, the question this thesis seeks to examine is how Brunei has managed to remain an absolute monarchy in the face of global democratisation, particularly given that it was under the British sphere of influence until 1984. What are the reasons behind Brunei’s exceptionalism in development and will these reasons allow Brunei to remain an absolute monarchy? To answer the central question, this research looks at constitutional developments in the light of Brunei’s history, traditions, culture and society. The research undertaken to answer this question has been purely doctrinal in nature. The primary reason this approach was adopted was because the nature of Brunei’s absolute monarchy has resulted in general disinclination in the country to discuss matters of local politics frankly. This has resulted in a distinct lack of authoritative research about Brunei in most fields. The contribution that this research makes to the subject is that, it is the first research that attempts to explain the existence of the constitutional anomaly that is the absolute monarchy of Brunei, through a contextual understanding of Brunei’s constitutional journey.
