@MUFC Bro there are only ~200 countries in the world. Currently in India, China and Pakistan, Total around 3 billion people, football is not the main sport. It doesn't seem cricket will be replaced in India and Pakistan anytime soon
I was born there and lived in Brunei for 17 years before furthering my studies in Singapore. If you're confused about the agriculture part it's because the soil is way too clayey for it to be feasible. And about the Sharia Law, a lot of my friends say it's not as serious as the media makes it to be. Just as long as you dress conservatively, everything's pretty much the same. As far as I know, no one's been punished by amputation or death so all's still well.
Provocateur it is long history. Brunei seek protectorate from great britain before independent. The US is just another allied nation of brunei so too china and other UN nations except israel
Alana Corbella nothing happened but you cannot dress like that and going to holy places such as mosque or other restricted places, many people that does not dress conservatively can be seen in the shopping complex
I'm from Malaysia....I love Brunei....since 2017 until 2019 I always come to Brunei every year....I love Brunei because very peaceful place and people in Brunei is very kindly.....latest I came to Brunei on 5 March 2019...I just came alone every years....i love Brunei😍😍
Ermm i really want to visit Brunei tho. I really do. But someone told me that you must hv a minimum, specific amount of money for each day that you stay. Idk maybe it's true mayb not
I was an expat in Brunei for 10 years. You mentioned that "many of the signs are printed in Malay and Arabic", well, technically that's not Arabic *language*, but it is also Malay, just written in Arabic script, which is called "Jawi", (although they often refer to any Arabic-script language, even Farsi). It was once used throughout Malaysia, but now is only officially used in Brunei. People who speak Arabic find Malay Jawi unintelligible.
Scott Stephens Well, it's not that we now completely forget the jawi writing though.. jawi is still teached among younger students and also still acts as Islamic education medium and some of official gov and others of Malaysia still also makes usr of jawi... But yeah, I am agree with you.
Today in World history the teacher was reviewing a test where one of the questions was about Indonesia.He said what is the island that Indonesia and Malaysia are in.I said Borneo and got an extra credit A because of this video.

Brunei, secara rasmi Bangsa Brunei, Abode of Peace, adalah sebuah negara yang terletak di pantai utara pulau Borneo di Asia Tenggara. Selain dari pesisirnya dengan Laut China Selatan, negara ini dikelilingi sepenuhnya oleh negeri Sarawak yang mempunyai pulau kecil. Ia dipisahkan menjadi dua bahagian oleh daerah Limbang Sarawak. Brunei adalah satu-satunya negara yang berdaulat sepenuhnya di pulau Borneo; wilayah wilayah selebihnya terbahagi antara bangsa-bangsa di Malaysia dan Indonesia. Penduduk Brunei adalah 428.963 pada tahun 2018. Pemerintah adalah monarki mutlak di bawah Sultan yang menerapkan undang-undang syariah dan mengarahkan amalan Islam.

Facts about Brunei (the country that I currently live in): From the map, we realise that the Philippines is very near to the Brunei Kingdom. Thus, it was not a surprise that in 1578, Spain decided to attack and invade the Brunei Kingdom. This Battle was known as the Castille War. However, the Spanish were only able to occupy Brunei for 72 days. They were driven out by Brunei warriors led by Pengiran Bendahara Sakam. After the Castille War, there were many internal quarrels in Brunei. There was a quarrel for more than 30 years over who the next Sultan should be. They even fought against one another (the Bruneians) (PS. I didn't copy this from a webpage instead I copied it from my Social Studies textbook and yes, I am studying in Brunei!!😊)
very near,? not really.. if you consider sabah as part of philippines then yes, but unfortunately malaysia stole sabah, as a result it would take a hundred of miles from brunei to the nearest island of philippines
As a Bruneian, we here are pretty split about the Sharia Law too some thinks it's a bad thing and and some think it's the greatest thing ever, while the rest just goes "who cares? we are in their gratitude for their healthcare and free education, let them do what they want it doesn't affect us anyway." The only thing we all pretty much agree on was "WHY DID YOU BAN FIREWORKS?!??!?!" Now don't tell the KDN I was here.
+Fahad “الكويتي Al-Kuwaiti” l الله اكبر All you need to stop crimes is stricter laws and a better government infrastructure, even if sharia law is to some extent morally correct, corrupt officials might use the excuse of religion to make horrible laws. And I'm sure both of us don't want other people to look down on Islam as a whole just because of some corrupt official.
+Fahad “الكويتي Al-Kuwaiti” l الله اكبر I agree that Sharia Law could probably work under certain circumstances but I still think that some of it needs to change and I don't really know what's going on in Saudi Arabia so I can't argue with you there.
+Iovar “Wolkun” Friiselahh if religion and state were seperated the prophet muhammed peace be upon him will have never made peace in makkah and madinah and the islamic golden age will have probably never happend
+Kaito Kuroba sharia law could be the worlds only hope to get rid of crime but sadly there are countries with rulers that use sharia law as an advantage for them selves and not for the sake of the people who live in those countries , only if the the ruler of a country implemented sharia law to himself with the people of the country there would be peace every were
3:00 You don't say "Jalan Kuala Lurah Road" because jalan already means road in Bahasa Malaysia/Indonesia. You're basically saying "Kuala Lurah Road Road"
@@masteroogway6339 Ahh no. As a UBD history student I can assure you that th Baru-Nah is actually a myth. There are a lot of theories on how Brunei got its name. The island itself is actually Kalimantan but when the Europeans came especially the Spanish, they called Brunei as "Borney" in the Boxer Codex and several other letters from Dr. Franciso De Sande and Kapitan Esteban Rodriguez. Since Brunei is still one of the biggest kingdoms in the 15th to 16th century in the island, comprising of parts in Sarawak, Sabah and certain coastal areas in west and east Kalimantan, the name Borney got stuck to several European travellers and they started to refer the whole island as that name. The Baru-Nah is a constructed mythical story that probably emerged centuries after the kingdom of Brunei was established.
I'm a Bruneian. It's true that we have to import most of our food. But there has been an approach from the government towards agriculture for the past couple of decades. We just need the youth to take part and be interested into the farming industry. The support is there, the resources are available widely, but we're lacking of the interest from the population.Based on the fact that oil and gas are non-renewable natural resources, the country and its population need to think another way to increase their national revenue. Though at current rate, Brunei is still able to maintain its US$50,000 per capita annual GDP, but with the current fluctuation in global oil's prices, along with the increase of population every year, it's hard to deny that the country will face some difficulties in the next decade, or even in few years time. The bubble has started to grow with the increase in number of unemployment.I don't have the real number here but my best guess would be, 5-10% of the population aged between 18-60 are unemployed. That is absurd giving the fact that there are still many unexplored areas that have the potential to grow. Namely fishing, farming, raw food production, basically the whole agricultural sector or the primary sector. I don't even want to touch secondary sector/production because that is a whole another chapter. 60-70% of the working population belongs to the tertiary sector, and we know that number isn't good for any country.So that is my 2 cents on my country's economical review. Thanks for reading, and have a good day.

Not that rich, but we appreciate every facilities provided by His majesty. Free education, free medical (Bruneian only) , cheap fuel, pension for elderly. everything subsidise. Nothing to complain😊
As a Bruneian I will disclose some information: - Brunei has built the 'Sultan haji Omar Ali Saifuddien bridge' which spans from mainland Brunei to the Temburong district so locals can drive without crossing the Malaysian border. - It is the longest bridge in South East Asia. - The Nation provides free healthcare and free education to Bruneian citizens. - There is no tax. - Gas prices are very low - Brunei used to be much bigger where the Malaysian parts of Sabah and Sarawak (with other phillipine islands) used to be part of the country.
Actually Bruneian Malay is not the official language. Standard Malay (the official language and lingua franca in Malaysia) is the official language. Brunei Malay is the lingua franca. And Kedayan and Brunei Malay are very similar, where the level of lexical cognates between Brunei Malay and Kedayan is 94 %, while that between Brunei Malay and Standard Malay is 84 %.
Here are some interesting things to know about our sultan: He provides free healthcare and only charge a fee of 1 BND for medicine... no matter what the cost. He provides monthly budgets to the officers that run the country under him to make any improvements rather it be it healthcare, infrastructure and so on He created a program that allowed any brunei citizen with a job to apply for a house that they provided, a lot of houses were built for this program and so far.. thousands of people arrived to a new home Every year he opens his palace for citizens to visit him and the family for Hari Raya aidilfitri and held prayers for citizens during the holy month of ramadhan, and also created a program for the orphans and single mothers and also selected senior citizens and then they were given a huge sum of money as a gift. Orphans and single mothers were also given sums of money every month to support them And so on...
+SirNetherham thats the reason our country spends a large sum of money on education, hahaha i dont know what will happen when oil runs out, but the sultan and people underhim already planned that ahead
And he bought thousands of sportcars just for himself, while he destroys the environment, what a nice guy. When oil runs out the rich won't really feel it, but the common people will lose a large fraction of their well being.
Literally, underrating the low profile cntry brunei's capability as they were not even witnesses insde Brunei that got no stock hstory wth unbelivable solid proved ranked brunei at #4th welthiest nations on earth.

Hai dari Azerbaijan! Kami sentiasa menyokong Brunei. Kerana kita mempunyai agama yang sama. Dan mereka mahu sekeping seperti kami. Suka dari Azerbaijan!🇦🇿❤🇧🇳
First its not Arabic, its Jawi. Its basically Malay language but written in Arabic words. Malay language nowadays use the regular British words after the British Empire set foot in Malacca.
Hey Paul (Barby), I've been a big fan of your work and as a Malay Malaysian, it's quite exciting to watch a video on Brunei and see you pronouncing Malay words, haha. But there's a slight mistake that you made, that is the 'Arabic' that you see on signs etc in Brunei is actually the 'Jawi' script, which was the main and dominant script used to write the Malay language in pre- and early- colonial eras in the Muslim areas of the Malay archipelago. And recent articles that I have read says that most Muslim Bruneians are happy to adopt the Sharia law as their national law and the sharia law isn't actually imposed on non-Muslims. Fun fact: the word 'Borneo' is a 16th century Italian explorer's adaptation of the name for most powerful kingdom on the Island, that is Brunei. Later, the British decided to use that term for the whole island.
Also a fun fact about the currency of Brunei. Although using the Dollar sign (B$) as their currency, Brunei's currency is called "Ringgit", just like Malaysia. However, they somehow stick to the name Bruneian Dollar for international labelling for some reason
FYI- Dar es salaam, is a capital city of Tanzania 🇹🇿, in East Africa: it means exactly as Darusalaam of Brunei 🇧🇳; peace. Not a coincident, both names are derived from Arabic, who influenced both culture! Thanks for sharing 🙏🇹🇿
Loved this video! I live in Brunei, and the reason why Brunei's agricultural output is actually so low is on one hand down to its sub par importance in contrast with oil - economically speaking but soil in Brunei is actually quite acidic making it hard to grow many different plants, especially the vegetables often sold in super markets. Brunei however does grow Padi, in certain areas. Again, Brunei does have potential to expand its agricultural sector but often the importance is lost when the need to develop infrastructure in that particular area is brought up. I really like this channel! You've earned yourself another subscriber!
I like comparing the older and newer Geography Now videos, the quality has gotten much better, and Barbs has gone from a geeky kid to geeky stud muffin.
Hey, just commented to say thanks for making a very accurate review/overview of Brunei. I'm Bruneian-Chinese and I can say that it's actually a very nice place to live in. Not sure what to make of the Syariah Law since its introduction, absolutely nothing has changed. (Besides the caning part when you're taken into custody). Oh and between, it's Seria not Sereia. Cheers mate~
Aww... you didn't mention the James Brooke story? I know that's Sarawak but it also included Brunei , why Brunei is so small , and why Sarawak is so big , its kinda interesting to know but I still enjoyed the video anyway.
As a Malaysian... I think Brunei say this as "JAWI"... سلامت داتڠ ک نوسنتارا ملايو 👉🏻 Because the long time ago... we use this as Arabic Alphabet ت ، ب ، ا... But now mostly use this Alphabet a , b , c... But sure we still can use Jawi till today 💖
I hope when you finish Zimbabwe, you will come back and re-do the earlier episodes. I feel like we (the Geograpeeps) learn so much more in the current former of the show!
! UPDATE for 2:53 - Since 2019, there is now the Temburong Bridge (a.k.a Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Bridge) connecting Brunei Muara with the Temburong District. It is the longest bridge in Southeast Asia, 30 kilometres (19 mi) long
"even though they have fertile soil" Maybe we do. But Brunei is still a developing country, so knowledge and workforce was still a bit of a problem. We are still developing. Some citizens just raise their own fruits and vegetables for themselves but sometimes they sell it as well. But not many as buying a land for farm would cost fortune. Not everybody has the money to purchase it. However, having said that, we have started on planting "padi" already as His Majesty encouraged us to lessen the imports of rice from Thailand. 😁
@Arab league of course anyone are welcomed to visit... But due to covid19, there are travel restrictions now though. I think u have to take covid19 swab before u leave ur country or otherwise you'll be charged to take a swab in brunei. There'll be a 14 days isolation after arrival as well. So it might cost you more $$ for hotels n stuff. So yeah... 😁
@@jericobongosia3992 try come here and you'll see the difference with singapore and malaysia. 😂 we dont even have trains or LRT. More a big tourist playground park.

Hello Geography Now, Barb's ! I just wanna tell you, i have a group of Tony Robbins's fan and we were introducing our country! Thanks you to your video we shared both GN Brunei and GN Mexico!!! 😍🙂 Im so happy that your content can connect us!! Btw, now we have the longest bridge in South East Asia that connect Brunei Muara district to Temburong bridge! 🥰
I like how this guy makes Brunei interesting to look up on. I've seen projects started up in Brunei that end up being unsustained and eventually abandoned. Actually there's a lot of stuff like this in Brunei lmao and I believe if we open up more land to agriculture the same will happen
@Merlin I wish he'd also help the youth in making money. I looked up how to make money as a teen, and soo much of them are soo efficient. Too bad we don't have the same level of efficiency tho. Seriously they're so easy to do, so if you're studying, you can make a little side money easily. The sultan is so damn rich yet they cant fund the government to improve brunei at all. Oh right, its the car collection.
We are in confort zone. Im working in government sector. At my back yard, im planting bananas, pineapple, mangoes and mertua. I will try my best la... Haa
I'm from Indonesian Borneo (you know, the 73% of the island) and your video made me realize how little we know about our neighbor, even though I've been to Brunei. Thank you for the eye-opener! BTW the fifth mosque pic is not of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque, it's Jame'asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque, the largest mosque in the country.
In Vientiane, Laos the embassy of Brunei with its high walls and clean immaculate buildings overlooking the shabby streets and houses opposite is a bit strange. It sits right next to the Presidential Palace.
The Jerudong Park is in Brunei, which is said to be Southeast Asia’s biggest amusement park! Seems so exciting! Lots of love to Brunei from China! 🇨🇳❤️🇧🇳
Just want to clarify, Actually, the signs are written in Jawi, a traditional Malay writing system which derived from Arabic letters. The language used in Jawi is still a Malay language.
Its so sad that they always emphasis on how big the istana is, how many cars His Majesty have yada yada.... almost all videos about Brunei never mentioned about how generous the Sultan is 😅
Amazing video, Geography Now! I was expecting you to be with your dad longer, so this came as a pleasant surprise. Can't wait for Bulgaria! Mila Rodino!
+Truls R. (Infinite Starshot) I make my living off of this channel so I have to keep making videos no matter what. My Parents understand that and don't want me to slack off, even though the circumstances are kind of dire.
I’m Bruneian and were not really popular global wide. Our Sultan is Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah. And most of the people say it’s a land full of undiscovered treasures
Don't forget,Brunei hospital is only 1dollar even tho u do anything like operation,surgery even heart attack it's still 1 dollar so cheap sometimes really freee
+Robert Faber meh dutch is like Swedish and german had disgusting sex and dutch popped out as a swede i can understand most written dutch or german and i can understand some spoken dutch atleast some keywords
Lt Snuggles I know what you're on about. I'm Dutch and I'm usually able to understand most of an episode of Wallander without looking at the subtitles.
Enjoy your video dude! Also i would like to add on, to show how "tight" Singapore and Brunei is. On the 40th Anniversary they share the same $20 note. Example in Singapore, The front will be our president and the back shows brunei and Singapore landscape. In brunei the front will show their Sultan and the back is the same as sg. Also the world would assume "Malay language" derived from malaysia. Brunei and Singapore had a mutual agreement to use "proper/boradcast Malay" while the malaysian swerved of course and alter the pronunciation and some spellings. Same thing goes for Indonesia.
Songkok is not only malaysia cap , songkok is NEGARA SERUMPUN CAP that owned by Indonesia Malaysia brunei and singapore , remember not only malaysia :)
Kepada org indon yg marah org Malaysia mkn rendang, marah org Malaysia sbb ada keris, marah org Malaysia sbb pakai songkok... Kalian pernah dengar tak org cina yg tinggal di tanah besar cina ( China) marah org Malaysia sbb buat tarian singa & naga pada hari gong ci facai? Pernah dengar tak org India yg tinggal di India marah2 sbb org Malaysia pakai sari? Sudah tentu tidak.. Sbb mereka bangsa yg bijak. Dan mereka tahu budaya tidak bisa dicuri atau diambil. Hanya bisa diwarisi. Hanya org Indon di Indonesia sahaja yg begini. Org Indon di Malaysia pon bijak Tak pernah marah2 kami pasal hal yang tak berasas ni.
Alpiam Akbar. Yes, rendang from West Sumatra long before there was Indonesia. And Bahasa Indonesia comes from Melaka and Johor sultanates, called Riau Malay by Dutch after Riau taken from Johor by Dutch in 1824.
I, a Bruneian, can definitely agree that we are too damn dependent on oil, and the government wonders why Bruneians are migrating, job opportunities aren't exactly that available here. Also, average income is 50,000? That's probably just the average income for people who work for the government and have special connections with the Sultan lol
Caroline Yong not necessary need to have a special connection ,my cousin salary is more than 50k mine you ,we don’t have any special relation with the sultan and we are chinese
Amirul Firdaus Abdul Azib nahh,that’s is not going to work .lets be true here .why would we support that when Malaysia rate is lower ,it’s just going to bring down Brunei’s economy and if Brunei join Malaysia ,our resources are going to be share as well .besides ,the car is cheaper here as well .we are really proud of our sultan and all and we wanted to continue our monarchy in Brunei
Amirul Firdaus Abdul Azib Yeah i was confused why they have the border like that. When me and family going on a trip to Kota kinabalu, First , We immigrated to Limbang, (I forgot what district is next ), and then We immigrated again to temburong. I was like why the heck is temburong in like sarawak? i was confused.
great video..... informative and fun! I don't know how so many countries occupy the island... however it is rather large! Hats off to the countries in making peace and impressive that brunei has economically become fairly successful!
@@ahmadal_shanqeety802 alhamdulillah our sultan gives charity every year for his people especially the poor.. alhamdulillah we have free education even if we have to further our studies abroad, we are given money allowance as tertiary level students, free healthcare, cheaper fuel n gas, subsidised daily needs, every year a week before Holy Ramadhan ends our sultan invites his poor people (asnaf zakat) not just poor muslim citizens but also non muslim citizens to be given money(charity), he spent billion dollars building a bridge that connects two districts in which these two districts have been separated for hundreds of years, he also spent billions to purchase tamr(dates) from saudi to be given to allllll people who live in Brunei during Ramadhan be it citizens or expats, and he pays for masjidil haram's electricity bills
Petroleum under Brunei offshore can only last for 15-20 more years though. It will be very a hard life for them in the future if they don't start planting the crops now.
The island of Borneo had a very complicated history. Prior to Spanish and British colonization, the Sultanate of Brunei and the Kingdom of Maynila and Sultanate of Sulu as well as other sultanates in the Philippines have extensive trading and political relations. The Sultanate of Sulu was once a satellite state of Brunei, later becoming independent after the Sultan of Sulu helped the Sultan of Brunei destroy a growing civil war movement and a rebellion in Brunei. Half of Sabah was given as a gift to Sulu by Brunei after the aid given to them.[citation needed] The island group of Palawan was also formerly part of the Empire of Brunei, but was also given to Sulu by Brunei. Muslim populations in southern Palawan are the descendants of the people of the Sultanate of Sulu who once controlled the island group. Brunei once subjugated the Kingdom of Maynila, turning it into the first and only Islamic state in the history of Luzon island. Later, the Spanish Empire subjugated the Philippines, and Brunei's influence to Manila disintegrated. Sulu, being waned by Spain, continued to have good relations with Brunei, until British troops subjugated Brunei and turned it into a colony.
I know it's one day earlier but I just want to say HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY Geography Now! Also, the day you created this channel was also on Malaysia's (Malaya) Independence Day. Happy Independence Day to Malaysians. :)

Facts about Brunei (the country that I currently live in):
From the map, we realise that the Philippines is very near to the Brunei Kingdom. Thus, it was not a surprise that in 1578, Spain decided to attack and invade the Brunei Kingdom.
This Battle was known as the Castille War. However, the Spanish were only able to occupy Brunei for 72 days. They were driven out by Brunei warriors led by Pengiran Bendahara Sakam.
After the Castille War, there were many internal quarrels in Brunei. There was a quarrel for more than 30 years over who the next Sultan should be. They even fought against one another (the Bruneians)
(PS. I didn't copy this from a webpage instead I copied it from my Social Studies textbook and yes, I am studying in Brunei!!😊)
When you mentioned that Philippine was close to Brunei. Was that during the period that the whole of Borneo was under Brunei rule.
Interesting.
zam023 absolutely
wow social studies year what? I only know it from my Bahasa Melayu textbook for Year8. but only short one...
very near,? not really.. if you consider sabah as part of philippines then yes, but unfortunately malaysia stole sabah, as a result it would take a hundred of miles from brunei to the nearest island of philippines
As a Bruneian, we here are pretty split about the Sharia Law too some thinks it's a bad thing and and some think it's the greatest thing ever, while the rest just goes "who cares? we are in their gratitude for their healthcare and free education, let them do what they want it doesn't affect us anyway." The only thing we all pretty much agree on was "WHY DID YOU BAN FIREWORKS?!??!?!" Now don't tell the KDN I was here.
+Fahad “الكويتي Al-Kuwaiti” l الله اكبر
All you need to stop crimes is stricter laws and a better government infrastructure, even if sharia law is to some extent morally correct, corrupt officials might use the excuse of religion to make horrible laws. And I'm sure both of us don't want other people to look down on Islam as a whole just because of some corrupt official.
+Fahad “الكويتي Al-Kuwaiti” l الله اكبر
I agree that Sharia Law could probably work under certain circumstances but I still think that some of it needs to change and I don't really know what's going on in Saudi Arabia so I can't argue with you there.
+Iovar “Wolkun” Friiselahh if religion and state were seperated the prophet muhammed peace be upon him will have never made peace in makkah and madinah and the islamic golden age will have probably never happend
+Kaito Kuroba sharia law could be the worlds only hope to get rid of crime but sadly there are countries with rulers that use sharia law as an advantage for them selves and not for the sake of the people who live in those countries , only if the the ruler of a country implemented sharia law to himself with the people of the country there would be peace every were

Fun Fact: The name Borneo Island is derived from "Brunei"
Brunei is derived from Burneh, a sub-district in Bangkalan Madura. 🤭
Came here to revisit this; saw the name discussed on Name Explain.
Frisky Amirul eh. No? Brunei is derived from “Baru nah!” When Awang Alak Betatar found a land. It was in year 4 social studies..
Nice 👌 👍
@@masteroogway6339 Ahh no. As a UBD history student I can assure you that th Baru-Nah is actually a myth.
There are a lot of theories on how Brunei got its name. The island itself is actually Kalimantan but when the Europeans came especially the Spanish, they called Brunei as "Borney" in the Boxer Codex and several other letters from Dr. Franciso De Sande and Kapitan Esteban Rodriguez. Since Brunei is still one of the biggest kingdoms in the 15th to 16th century in the island, comprising of parts in Sarawak, Sabah and certain coastal areas in west and east Kalimantan, the name Borney got stuck to several European travellers and they started to refer the whole island as that name.
The Baru-Nah is a constructed mythical story that probably emerged centuries after the kingdom of Brunei was established.
I'm a Bruneian. It's true that we have to import most of our food. But there has been an approach from the government towards agriculture for the past couple of decades. We just need the youth to take part and be interested into the farming industry. The support is there, the resources are available widely, but we're lacking of the interest from the population.Based on the fact that oil and gas are non-renewable natural resources, the country and its population need to think another way to increase their national revenue. Though at current rate, Brunei is still able to maintain its US$50,000 per capita annual GDP, but with the current fluctuation in global oil's prices, along with the increase of population every year, it's hard to deny that the country will face some difficulties in the next decade, or even in few years time. The bubble has started to grow with the increase in number of unemployment.I don't have the real number here but my best guess would be, 5-10% of the population aged between 18-60 are unemployed. That is absurd giving the fact that there are still many unexplored areas that have the potential to grow. Namely fishing, farming, raw food production, basically the whole agricultural sector or the primary sector. I don't even want to touch secondary sector/production because that is a whole another chapter. 60-70% of the working population belongs to the tertiary sector, and we know that number isn't good for any country.So that is my 2 cents on my country's economical review. Thanks for reading, and have a good day.

Not that rich, but we appreciate every facilities provided by His majesty. Free education, free medical (Bruneian only) , cheap fuel, pension for elderly. everything subsidise. Nothing to complain😊

Hello Brunei👋
I'm from Malaysia✌️
As a Bruneian I will disclose some information:
- Brunei has built the 'Sultan haji Omar Ali Saifuddien bridge' which spans from mainland Brunei to the Temburong district so locals can drive without crossing the Malaysian border.
- It is the longest bridge in South East Asia.
- The Nation provides free healthcare and free education to Bruneian citizens.
- There is no tax.
- Gas prices are very low
- Brunei used to be much bigger where the Malaysian parts of Sabah and Sarawak (with other phillipine islands) used to be part of the country.
Brunei: We got oil!
America: BRUNEI NEEDS SOME DEMOCRACY!
It's the Dutch who mine oil there.
Shell is not American, look at the full name.

Actually Bruneian Malay is not the official language. Standard Malay (the official language and lingua franca in Malaysia) is the official language. Brunei Malay is the lingua franca. And Kedayan and Brunei Malay are very similar, where the level of lexical cognates between Brunei Malay and Kedayan is 94 %, while that between Brunei Malay and Standard Malay is 84 %.

Hello
Here are some interesting things to know about our sultan:
He provides free healthcare and only charge a fee of 1 BND for medicine... no matter what the cost.
He provides monthly budgets to the officers that run the country under him to make any improvements rather it be it healthcare, infrastructure and so on
He created a program that allowed any brunei citizen with a job to apply for a house that they provided, a lot of houses were built for this program and so far.. thousands of people arrived to a new home
Every year he opens his palace for citizens to visit him and the family for Hari Raya aidilfitri and held prayers for citizens during the holy month of ramadhan, and also created a program for the orphans and single mothers and also selected senior citizens and then they were given a huge sum of money as a gift.
Orphans and single mothers were also given sums of money every month to support them
And so on...
+SirNetherham thats the reason our country spends a large sum of money on education, hahaha i dont know what will happen when oil runs out, but the sultan and people underhim already planned that ahead
+J Gordon Public clinics
And he bought thousands of sportcars just for himself, while he destroys the environment, what a nice guy. When oil runs out the rich won't really feel it, but the common people will lose a large fraction of their well being.

Muhammad Syahmi no he doesn’t look at the recommended section
Hey Paul (Barby), I've been a big fan of your work and as a Malay Malaysian, it's quite exciting to watch a video on Brunei and see you pronouncing Malay words, haha. But there's a slight mistake that you made, that is the 'Arabic' that you see on signs etc in Brunei is actually the 'Jawi' script, which was the main and dominant script used to write the Malay language in pre- and early- colonial eras in the Muslim areas of the Malay archipelago. And recent articles that I have read says that most Muslim Bruneians are happy to adopt the Sharia law as their national law and the sharia law isn't actually imposed on non-Muslims.
Fun fact: the word 'Borneo' is a 16th century Italian explorer's adaptation of the name for most powerful kingdom on the Island, that is Brunei. Later, the British decided to use that term for the whole island.
Brunei: we have oil

And they even their capital after itself before 1970 called Bandar Brunei (Brunei Town) and also their monarch before called Sultan Shah Brunei
It's hard to believe now, but little Brunei used to be huge. There was once a time where it virtually ruled Borneo and parts of the Philippines.
FYI- Dar es salaam, is a capital city of Tanzania 🇹🇿, in East Africa: it means exactly as Darusalaam of Brunei 🇧🇳; peace. Not a coincident, both names are derived from Arabic, who influenced both culture! Thanks for sharing 🙏🇹🇿
Loved this video! I live in Brunei, and the reason why Brunei's agricultural output is actually so low is on one hand down to its sub par importance in contrast with oil - economically speaking but soil in Brunei is actually quite acidic making it hard to grow many different plants, especially the vegetables often sold in super markets. Brunei however does grow Padi, in certain areas. Again, Brunei does have potential to expand its agricultural sector but often the importance is lost when the need to develop infrastructure in that particular area is brought up.
I really like this channel! You've earned yourself another subscriber!

Maybe we do. But Brunei is still a developing country, so knowledge and workforce was still a bit of a problem. We are still developing. Some citizens just raise their own fruits and vegetables for themselves but sometimes they sell it as well. But not many as buying a land for farm would cost fortune. Not everybody has the money to purchase it.
However, having said that, we have started on planting "padi" already as His Majesty encouraged us to lessen the imports of rice from Thailand. 😁
@Arab league of course anyone are welcomed to visit... But due to covid19, there are travel restrictions now though. I think u have to take covid19 swab before u leave ur country or otherwise you'll be charged to take a swab in brunei. There'll be a 14 days isolation after arrival as well.

Also i would like to add on, to show how "tight" Singapore and Brunei is. On the 40th Anniversary they share the same $20 note. Example in Singapore, The front will be our president and the back shows brunei and Singapore landscape. In brunei the front will show their Sultan and the back is the same as sg.
Also the world would assume "Malay language" derived from malaysia. Brunei and Singapore had a mutual agreement to use "proper/boradcast Malay" while the malaysian swerved of course and alter the pronunciation and some spellings. Same thing goes for Indonesia.
Brunei should think of the future. Invest more in agriculture and self-sufficiency in energy, water, etc.

Petroleum under Brunei offshore can only last for 15-20 more years though. It will be very a hard life for them in the future if they don't start planting the crops now.
The island of Borneo had a very complicated history. Prior to Spanish and British colonization, the Sultanate of Brunei and the Kingdom of Maynila and Sultanate of Sulu as well as other sultanates in the Philippines have extensive trading and political relations. The Sultanate of Sulu was once a satellite state of Brunei, later becoming independent after the Sultan of Sulu helped the Sultan of Brunei destroy a growing civil war movement and a rebellion in Brunei. Half of Sabah was given as a gift to Sulu by Brunei after the aid given to them.[citation needed] The island group of Palawan was also formerly part of the Empire of Brunei, but was also given to Sulu by Brunei. Muslim populations in southern Palawan are the descendants of the people of the Sultanate of Sulu who once controlled the island group. Brunei once subjugated the Kingdom of Maynila, turning it into the first and only Islamic state in the history of Luzon island. Later, the Spanish Empire subjugated the Philippines, and Brunei's influence to Manila disintegrated. Sulu, being waned by Spain, continued to have good relations with Brunei, until British troops subjugated Brunei and turned it into a colony.
