Dear Brunei

Just going to replies to the recent comments I’ve received.

and major countries? free education? really? may i know where? i would reaaaally like to know!

You can read about it from these websites

Scandinavian Universities

European Countries

“Free Education” from Wikipedia

do you even know how many people are struggling to get into ubd? hundreds can’t make the cut and then where the hell are they supposed to go? be grateful for what you have would you and pls don’t be too proud. dissing ubd won’t get you anywhere. if you don’t get a scholarship, hell i bet you’d go straight to ubd.

if they cant get into UBD, they could go to ITB, Business School, Cosmopolitan College, IGS College, Laksmana College, Micronet, kemuda Institute and so on. If they can afford it, they can study in Sabah, Labuan, Miri, or even kL. but if money is an issue, then better study hard to get that scholarship

are you saying the government sucks? Do you even know how much the government have done for us citizens? we don’t even have to pay tax goddamnit. do you know in some countries people get really poor trying to pay ther taxes off!? if you think the government sucks so much why dont you leave this country? i bet your folks work for the govt anyway. do you think without the government, you’d be who you are now?

I am saying, there are room for improvements in the Government system. Theres room for improvement in the Education System, room for improvement in our Tourism Industry and room for improvement in our Social Services department. If there wasnt a problem, we wont have people complaining about the system, we wont have problems with unemployment, we wont have issues with locals working in the SMEs, and maybe this website, wont even exist in the first place.The government has done alot yes, but there are still room for improvement.

Funny you mention taxes. In countries such as Singapore and United kingdom, tax payer’s money helps the country raise their economy. the money is used to pay for the country’s security, police, fire brigade etc. the money is also used to keep the environment clean and steady, the roads are always in good condition, the environment is kept clean and they have great social services, because thats what taxes are for. its not just about cars and houses

I dont hate the country ? Brunei is a place. Government is a system. They are 2 different things as said, theres room for improvement in the Government. but this place, Brunei, is home. this is where I was born. To leave the country is equivalent to giving up on the country. And I dont think I am up for that. You see me here commenting the government, but if you know me, I just want a change, the better change. I know I dont have the power to *do* anything, but *something* is better than *nothing* right? This website, is my *something*. Who knows, maybe all the government need is someone to tell them “hey, you’re doing something wrong. please fix it”

oh after reading this you’d probably hate me and start to mouth off crap, dissing this comment. but if you think about it from another side from yours, i’m sure you’ll start to realize. if not, oh well your loss. cheers.

im not 18 years old. i’d try my best to take thing as mature as possible. i dont hate you and thank you for commenting

we are celebrating for the peace in our country ( the crimes aint that bad, i mean so far 1 dangerous rapist? look at malaysia, some psycho is after little girls to torture them, you dont see that here, you have a problem with the crimes here you go somewhere else and heck you’d be fine the crimes cos you’re overseas? you wish we stayed with the british longer? to develop? its onlyb een 24 years, give it time. thank god you didn’t end up in africa ok.)

the crimes aint that bad? any crime is bad. theres prostitition, underground nightclubs, illegal gamblings, illegal distribution of alcohols, drugs, unauthorised exports of Brunei oil to the neighbouring countries and even murder. My own aunt and her family was murdered in Brunei. do your research before you comment on me.

and 24 years is not long ? how much time must be given? With all the money from oil that the country has got, wouldnt it be the perfect catalyst to speed things up ? Wasnt Malaysia under British Empire as well ? And so was Singapore. You compare us to Malaysia just now. Now its my turn to compare. Even with the crimes, they seem to be more successful that us. Take our TV channels for instance. We *need* to have TV2 and TV3 on our national TV — otherwise life will boring. but … do they have RTB on their channels? hey, why stop there? they have Astro!!!! And and and we’re borrowing ASTRO from them!!!!

we are celebrating for how much the country has done for us. we are celebrating for the “old saggy people” who work their asses off. we are celebrating for the sultan who has led our country amazingly. we are celebrating for the citizens in this country who are grateful enough to be in this country (minus you).

“work their asses off” ….every morning, on the roads, I see labour workers in their bright orange jersey, cleaning the roads, clearing the leaves and brooming the side walks. under the hot weather, you see ladies placing parking tickets on hundreds of bruneians car parked on the roads. when the sea water rises, our fisherman down their boats, goes to the sea and catch fishes. those are what i called “working their asses off”.
