Perempuan dan Pakaian
Assalamualaikum. Saya telah membaca segala pendapat yang
telah diutarakan mengenai perempuan dan aurat. Terkadang teguran
yang diberikan menjatuhkan maruah kaum hawa. Tujuan saya bukanlah
untuk menghalalkan apa yang haram. Saya tahu menutup aurat adalah
satu kewajipan dan saya juga sentiasa menjaga aurat saya. Apa yang
lebih penting ingin saya kongsikan bersama adalah bersendikan
pengalaman saya selama menuntut di sebuah universiti islam di luar
negara. Memanglah ada pepatah yang mengatakan pakaian membentuk
peribadi tetapi adakah betul itu semua. "Yang menutup aurat
itu baik dan bersih hatinya dan yang tidak buruk dan jahat
perangainya".Saya mempunyai ramai kawan daripada yang cara
berpakaiannya amatlah sopan memakai tudung litup sehinggalah
kepada yang memakai pakaian singkat. Tidaklah ingin saya banyak
bercakap melainkan memberi 2 contoh yang saya percaya anda juga
ada mengalami
1. Kawan yang bertudung litup banyak memburukkan dan menjatuhkan
maruah orang lain dan mengumpat mungkin kerana merasakan diri
mereka lebih baik dari yang kurang menjaga auratnya. Mereka ini
lebih suka mengata orang dan bercakap tentang orang lain daripada
menjaga hal mereka sendiri.
2. Kebanyakan kawan saya yang kurang menjaga auratnya lebih
menjaga sembahyang mereka dari mereka yang menutup aurat nya.
Bahkan mereka yang lebih takut untuk keluar berdua-duaan dengan
lelaki bukan muhrim.Sedangkan kebanyakan 'perempuan yang dianggap
mulia dan sopan' inilah yang suka keluar berduaan.
Tujuan saya disini bukannya memburukkan sesiapa. Cuma saya sedih
bila kita sebagai hamba yang tiada hak untuk menilai kemuliaan dan
juga keburukan seseorang itu mula berbuat begitu.Hak kita cuma
untuk menegur dan bukanlah menilai apatah lagi menghina. Insya-Allah
dengan dengan teguran yang baik dan halus mereka yang belum
terbuka hatinya untuk mentup aurat akan berbuat begitu suatu hari
nanti dengan hati yang redha dan penuh keinsafan.. Shaza 15.03.2002

SMART IC part 2:
Thanks for your support.....we have conducted an interview with
the senior officer about the smart IC, and they are really helpful
to give us an overview of what are the uses and where it should be
used for. So far the Brunei SMART IC is only for government use
for example for medical checks, ordinary identification use, but
it is yet to be implemented towards more reliable feature such as
bank accounts, library cards, cross-border passports and many
more. It is very secure in terms of privacy since unauthorised
party would not get any access to the data, for example, the bank
account will not be revealed to others under any circumstances, by
any party even the government, except the bank itself, whom can
gain access to the data. (The program is from Euro, but I can’t
tell you more)
One more thing, Brunei SMART IC is the first of its kind to be
used widely, that is to say we are the first country to use SMART
IC.....perhaps!!!
Till then, wait for my next part....assalamualaikum! Pelajar_UBD

SPAM, SKIM CEPAT KAYA..SAMA JUA
CERITANYA:
Orang kitani ani kalau tedangar ada skim yang boleh memberi
pulangan berlipat ganda dengan hanya duduk goyang kaki, nescaya
akan inda sanang duduk selagi inda ikut serta. Walaupun sana-sini,
luar dan dalam negeri sudah ramai yang terkena dan menjadi gila
tapi masih jua kan mau kaya sekelip mata. Terbuat kalau kaya, inda
payah berusaha, goyang kaki saja, inda perlu cari downline orang
kitani pasti akan berebut-rebut. Yang sudah ikut akan tarus
memasang angan-angan kan membali atu dan ani. Sanggup menjual
kereta, berhutang bank, menjual tanah bila kena janjikan 10 kali
ganda dalam tempoh beberapa bulan. Rambang mata inda lagi mampu
berfikir panjang. Tapi akhirnya "KAYAP" menanggung
hutang keliling pinggang. Habis-habis cakapnya "MANAKU TAU
DURANG ATU MENIPU". Tapi peliknya kalau ada SKIM CEPAT KAYA(p)
yang baru muncul ia tah orang yang paling begeragas kan ikut. Inda
mau ambil iktibar dengan kejadian yang lepas yang berlaku
arah orang lain.
Baru-baru ani aku ada menerima e-mail kononnya dari syarikat
petroleum Nigeria kan membagi usin berjuta-juta kalau kitani
menolong durang. ORANG ANI SEBENARNYA PENYAMAR DAN PENIPU BASAR.
Durang sebenarnya pengumpul nama dan alamat orang (Mailing List).
Di Amerika, negara pengganas terbesar dunia (Greatest terrorist),
mengumpul nama dan alamat orang kemudian dijual pada gedung-gedung
perniagaan Mail-Order adalah satu business yg menguntungkan. Jadi
jangan tertipu jika sekiranya menerima e-mail macam yang kuterima.

I do admit I was one of those who did comment
about the way Bruneian Muslim women these days dress. I pointed
out how I was surprised that the way some of them dress themselves
are quiet revealing ranging from backless tops to low cut navel
revealing pants. I do hope the hot pants fever won't start here
too. About a day or two ago I noticed one comment asking that
isn’t it also a sin to actually talk behind people’s back bla
bla and etc. I agree with that person’s comments but I am of the
opinion that I was memburukkan atau mereveal keaiban seseorang. In
my mind I wanted to voice out my views and what I saw, in another
words I was wondering out aloud why does this sort of trend exist
in Brunei, a Muslim country. But I also thought that probably
it’s okay to remind each other (we Muslims) what is
tarang-tarang wrong to practise. So I tried to make some positive
comments. Maggiemee 15.03.2002

RTB
News Presenters - new faces:
I agree with "nominus". I have no
problem in always seeing the same faces; they are the epitome of
RTB News. All the experienced RTB presenters, because I
won't say they are old but are, indeed, a rare breed and so new
ones are hard to come by and match up to them. They are the
best at their profession and doing a fine job, be it Berita Jam
Lapan Malam or News at Ten or any other newscast, TV or radio.
The few new ones are not doing badly either, of course, with the
training and support of the experienced and committed presenters.
To ALL, something to ponder - Why are we so quick in disparaging
our fellow Bruneians where we can be more supportive of them?
Be constructive instead of destructive!! Phm phm@hotmail.com

The Brunei
Dilemma:
The root of our dilemma is - oil. While we are
blessed by it, it has also put a curse on us. Our
inefficiencies, low-productivity, indecisiveness are being
underwritten by the money we get from oil. No matter how
badly we try to do things in the Government, our income will be
based on how much our hard working people in Brunei Shell can
produce oil and its price in the world market. Our income is
not directly effected by whether a bureaucrat has to leave his or
her office at 11 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon or whether
he takes 3 months or two days to approve a business application.
Ministers', Perm Sects' or Directors' and all civil servants' pay
has no relation to their productivity. They may be working
24 hrs a day or none at all - and yet they would receive the same
pay. It would however be most interesting to find out
whether a company like IBM or even Brunei Shell would pay our
Ministers or Perm Sects the money (plus all the privileges) they
are getting for the amount of work they are supposed to be doing!
The bottom line is our pay and reward structure does not relate to
our productivity. And unfortunately (obviously fortunately
to some), we can continue to do this as long as our oil income
remains. The only time in recent history when there was some
sort of urgency in the government was when oil price hit below
US$10. Nevertheless the oil price has gone up - more money
in our coffers with nothing whatsoever to do with what we are
doing ourselves - either being more efficient and productive.
Oil has again become our saviour and we can remain inefficient,
unproductive and happily unchanged. Why work harder when we
can earn as much without lifting a finger? It is natural
human instinct. Unless of course we run out of oil ....
yeah, like we actually believe it. Ekonomis kampung 14.03.2002

pasal
bini2 pakai baju seksi
To WOMAN and Quiero saber:
Bukannya kan mengumpat bisdurang...this is an open message
board..anyone can read it...bini2 yg selalu kai baju seksi pun
boleh membaca...so its not a form of mengumpat...
BUKAN JUA KAN MENYALAHKAN DURANG IN RAPE CASES (as I have
mentioned in my last msg, ATU PUN KALAU KAMU TELITI
MEMBACANYA)..cuma kan membari peringatan yg apa yg durang buat
masa ani boleh merosakkan life bisdurang...bukan kan memarahi..its
just a decent dan `sayangkan sesama saudara' type of nasihat
kepada muslimah brunei..if you can reread again my msg atu, ada
jua me tulis yang bini2 menutup aurat pun boleh kana rogol, AND
SEKSI IS JUST ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS. I absolutely was
not menyalahkan BULAT2 arah bisdurang...i knew that the replies on
my msg will be full of anger, as if me menyalahkan bini2 bulat2..I
DIDN'T!!..I was only referring to bini2 yg pakai baju sampai
nampak buah dada dan paha......NOT TO ALL WOMAN GENERALLY!!..tautah
kebanyakan laki2 ani, inda dapat meliat bini2 seksi sudah tebeliak
biji mata...kalau udah garam hati meliat, rasa kan di pegang2 yg
terjojol atu...So, at least SALAH SATU dari cara MENGELAKKAN dari
rogol berlaku ialah menutup aurat.
Usaha atu yg penting. Macam kitani periksa bah...usaha
supaya pass, membaca buku dan bersembahyang...kalau masih jua inda
pass, mmg takdir dari Allah tah tu. Apa jua boleh di buat. But in
this situation, mmg perogol2 ani mesti di hukum
seberat2nya..perbuatan bisdurang mmg hina...dalam undang2 Islam
hukuman bagi durang adalah lebih berat dari undang2 di negara
kitani. Jadi, UNTUK MENYELAMATKAN KITANI DARI KENA KES ROGOL,
SALAH SATU DARI JALANNYA IALAH DENGAN MENUTUP AURAT.inda jua susah
banar kali my words atu ah...Mmg arah negeri2 lain bini2nya yg
betutup sampai mata pun inda nampak kes rogol pun masih tetap ada.
Inda dapat di nafikan tu, mungkin ada reasons lain yg menyebabkan
perogol2 atu tenaik nafsu kan merogol,lain lagi ceritanya tu. BUT
I WAS EMPHASISING THE POINT OF MEMAKAI BAJU SEKSI BOLEH MENAIKKAN
NAFSU LAKI2 BUKAN MUHRIM YANG BOLEH MENDORONG SUPAYA KES ROGOL
TERJADI. Please read my words carefully.... And I agree to some
points other readers have raised....mcm pasal peer pressure, pasal
ibubapa yang lalai kan mebari pelajaran ugama arah anak2nya dan
sebagainya...those are true...and I think that this message board
is one of the ways supaya yang kurang ilmu pengetahuan pasal
ugama(including me) atu boleh sedar dan kembali ke pangkal jalan.
Di sinilah kitani nasihat menasihati dan mengingati antara satu
sama lain. I was raising this point pun sebab sayangkan bangsa
kitani...kasihan bah meliat mangsa2 rogol yang inda berdosa atu...jadi
I was giving AN OPTION for the others supaya di jauhkan dari
segala musibah..bukan kan menyalahkan siapa2, berpuak2 dan
berselisih faham...di harap niat me ani inda di salah ertikan...W'salam

Targeting
valuables! As far as crimes such as
robbery by the so-called “blowtorch gang” is concerned in
Brunei, in areas where there are banks and shops selling valuables
a special surveillance unit should be positioned.
This is a matter of some considerable public concern and need to
be attended to immediately.
There are a number of devices like "public surveillance
cameras" that could be installed to focus on areas that will
be much likely targeted by the gang robbers.
Human security will need to be guarded in all main areas. Cloud

Rape and
Islam: To Woman: I am
not here to refute your claim entirely but please refer to this
Firman from Allah SWT:
"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing
women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out
or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known
(to be Muslims) and not annoyed..." (Al-Ahzab:59)
In Islam, a woman's 'aurat' is her everything with the exception
of her face and two hands. As can be understood from the above
Firman, when a woman goes out, she MUST cover herself (with the
exception of the body parts mentioned above) and wear clothes,
which do not reveal her shapely nature. In other words, Muslim
women wear hijab (covering the head and the body) because Allah
has told them so. And in doing so, she reflects herself as a
respectable Muslimah. A Muslim woman who covers her head is making
a statement about her identity. Anyone who sees her will know that
she is a Muslim and has a good moral character. Many Muslim women
who cover are filled with dignity and self esteem; they are
pleased to be identified as a Muslim woman. As a chaste, modest,
pure woman, she does not want her sexuality to enter into
interactions with men in the smallest degree. A woman who covers
herself is concealing her sexuality but allowing her femininity to
be brought out.
Islam requires its male and female adherents to avoid illicit
sexual relations at all costs. Because the desire to have sexual
relationships originates with the look that one person gives
another, Islam prohibits a person from casting amorous glances
towards another. This is the principle of ghadd al-basar (lowering
the eyes). Since it is impossible for people to have their eyes
fixed constantly to the ground and inconceivable that a man will
never see a woman or a woman will never see a man, Islam absolves
from blame the first chance look, but prohibits one from casting a
second look or continuing to stare at a face which one finds
attractive at first sight.
The following traditions of the Prophet SWT offer us guidance in
this regard: Jarir says,
"I asked the Prophet what I should do if I happened to cast a
look (at a woman) by chance. The Prophet replied, 'Turn your eyes
away.' " According to Buraidah, the Prophet told the future
fourth khalif, 'Ali, not to cast a second look, for the first look
was pardonable but the second was prohibited.
The real object of ghadd al-basar (lowering the eyes) is to stop
people with evil intentions from casting lewd looks at others. It
is common knowledge that a person turns their eyes towards another
person innocently in the beginning. If the latter is attractive,
the former may go on casting glances and thus drift towards the
precipice of sexual attraction and ultimately fornication or
adultery or even worse, RAPE.
Therefore, when a woman dresses provocatively, she is bringing
attention to herself. When a man sees her, lurid thoughts may
enter his mind because in Islam, a man's nafsu is small in
comparison to a woman's (10% in the former and 90% in the latter,
but a man's 'nafsu' is mostly directed to the opposite sex whereas
a woman's 'nafsu' is spread over many things such as wealth,
clothes, etc.) Prophet Muhamad SAW by way of warning and as a
reminder said, "There is nothing left after I go more
dangerous to men than the temptations of women." This hadith
clearly shows that a man, when tempted has no control over his 'nafsu'
and only if he holds onto the Quran and the Sunnah, he will never
go astray.
When confronted with an alluring situation like passing by a non-mahram
on the street, office or school, Satan is constantly tempting us
to glare at her/him with evil thoughts. Satan is probably
excitingly saying, with a big smile, 'yes, yes, yes,' when we
steer into the bait he is setting. During these situations,
immediately and consciously realize that when we give a second or
following glances, we are obeying Satan. "O you who believe,
follow not the footsteps of the devil " (24:21). By
immediately averting our gazes and disobeying Satan, we are giving
him a one-two punch in the face and leaving him frustrated and
accursed. But, if the woman in front of you is scantily
clad, the temptation is even greater and it is even more difficult
to avert our gaze from her. This then may lead to evil thoughts
and possibly evil actions, Na'udzubillahimindzalik. Rational

Are police
being Ignorant?:
I can't believe to what I am hearing and reading. Is the Brunei
Police being negligence towards maintaining a safe heaven in
Brunei? Basically are they mad? or are they lazy? I am sure there
are enough Brunei police force around the country, what is the
point of the government paying their monthly salaries? Not to just
sit around and play dumb. I respect may be the police of Brunei
are being so irresponsible to patrol the area around Brunei on 24
hr basis. This is the problem when it comes to a specific task or
job. The police in Brunei are so neglecting in their duties and
yet haven't they realised how unsafe would their family be if this
is to continue and deteriorate. Sorry about my spelling, but hey,
look, are they doing their jobs as they are suppose to? Of course
their excuses may be, not enough shift police officers on the
night rounds, who cares? Is the country big enough? How long does
is take to patrol any way? I am a concerned citizen, I have been
travelling every month in a year. Now would I want to go back to
my home country to know it’s unsafe already? What would you
think you people of my country? Mr A.Sopranno 13.02.2002

Islam and
Mazhabs: Ingin Tahu:
Menutup seluruh aurat adalah syart sembahyang yang dipersetujui
oleh semua mazhab Islam. Dan berasas kepada hadith2 yang sahih,
aurat perempuan yang wajib ditutup semasa sembahynag ialah
sekurang-kurangnya seluruh badannya kecuali muka dan kedua
tangannya. Pada mazhab Hanbali dan Hanafi muka dan tangan juga
termasuk sebagai aurat kecuali mata apabila sembahyang dikhalayak
ramai. Pokoknya, sufi inda sufi, aurat mesti tutup. Begitu juga
mengenai wudhu. Semua mazhab Islam bersetuju bahawa barangsiapa
yang hendak sembahyang mestilah dalam keadaan berwudhu. Dalil dari
al-Quraan jelas menerangkan hukum ini tanpa khilaf diantara para
ulama Islam. Dari itu juga, tidaklah disyaratkan mesti ada orang
yang menjadi saksi bahawa seseorang itu telah berwudhu dan masih
lagi dalam keadaan tersebut. Apa yang telah "Ingin Tahu"
saksikan dari berberapa orang Muslim sembahyang dishopping complex
tidaklah menjadi masa'alah, kerana sapertimana yang menjadi
kelaziman bagi ramai orang Muslim ialah untuk sentiasa memelihara
wudhu mereka. Maka tidaklah menjadi heran jika seseorang Muslim
itu terus sembahyang apabila sudah masuk waktu seolah-olah tidak
berwudhu, sedangkan ianya sebenarnya masih memlihara wudhunya.
Menggunakan alas sebagai tempat sujud bukanlah sesuatu perkara
yang ganjil. Apa yang berlaku diLondon saperti yang disebutkan
oleh "Ingin Tahu" adalah semata-mata berberapa orang
Muslim menggunakan kayu sebagai alas untuk sujud untuk memelihara
dari apa2 kotoran. "Ingin Tahu" juga betul pada
menyatakan bahawa orang2 Shi'ah menggunakan alas untuk sujud,
tetapi bagi mereka alas sujud mestilah berasal dari bumi, saperti
batu dll. Maka dalam keadaan ini, jika mereka itu memang orang
Shi'ah tidaklah mereka berkehendak pada alas kayu sedangkan mereka
sudah sujud diatas batu jalanraya. wallahu ta'ala a'lam. Global

expats in
Brunei: to just me: if
you are really a local, this means that you are also
referring those lazy citizens including your family members.
Pleasae don't make a remark as general as that. Not all Bruneians
are lazy. Once again if you are really a local give constructive
ideas to sort this problem not just labelling Bruneians as lazy.
If for example govt offices were empty at the time you have
stated, why not complain this matter to the appropriate authority
such as MSD dept or go to director of that department or the
minister himself if you do care to reverse the situation, rather
than labelling the whole of Bruneian citizens are being lazy. I
suppose you might not be a local as you claim because a real local
will never generalise Bruneians as being lazy, the proof if all
were lazy you wouldn't be there where you are now, so try hard to
give constructive ideas. Nice try. cendikiawan ulu 13.03.2002

RTB News
Presenters - new faces: People who
have been complaining about the lack of new faces on RTB news,
obviously haven't been keeping a close enough eye on it - true -
the Malay news has pretty much the same old faces - but - nothing
wrong with that - as those "old faces" are the
best at what they do - delivering the news - if people don't like
watching them - then give yourself and the rest of us a break and
listen to the radio news. It's not fair to single out the readers,
(by name!), simply because they've been doing the job for 10 years
or more. A lot of them have been there for that amount of
time, not just the mentioned by "Bruneian".
On the topic of giving chance to other people to present -
RTB is doing just that - and who do you think trains them?
Other newscasters of course - the ones who have been there for
years - yes - they do have other duties besides going on air
to read the news. Constructive criticism wouldn't go unappreciated
by those on the job -
but comments resembling "she's so old, so get her off
the air" shouldn't even be given space in the forum. Lastly -
there are 1 or 2 new faces on the English news, News at 10 - no
one seems to have mentioned or even noticed yet. So, to say that
there are no new faces is inaccurate. 1 or 2 new
faces aren't many, but one reason for the lack of new talent is
simple - it's hard to find them! To all the people complaining
about it, why don't you have a try and see if you can do the job
or not..... good luck! nonimus 13.03.2002

NEW
AND OLD NEWSCASTERS:
I agree with nonimus. It's not fair to single out a
newscaster by name, simply because that name was probably on 'Bruneian's'
mind.
I personally don't have any problems seeing the faces of old - or
to be more precise EXPERIENCED personnel. These people
deliver the news professionally. In the meantime, there
should be a 'CROSSOVER or a PELAPISAN' stage where these
experienced are made professionally duty bound to train upcoming
newscasters.
I'm certainly not complaining but I've seen instances where the
young newscasters make mistakes and you can see them change face.
That shows that they have not achieved the necessary 'experienced'
stage yet. Again I'm not complaining. That's all part
of the LEARNING PROCESS.
Think TREVOR MCDONALD and KATE ADIE. These are two famous
broadcasters in the UK. Trevor is known for the ITN NEWS AT
10. Kate is famous for being a reporter in war-ridden areas.
They are not thought of as OLD. They are thought of as
EXPERIENCED. To the RTB PRESENTERS- Teruskan Membagi Berita

Smart
Card:
Glad to hear that you and your team will conduct some research
into the smart IC. Just for your info, in Newsweek (Europe), Hong
Kong is reported to be looking into the uses of such smart card
and I think, planned to equipped its 6 million citizens with smart
card by the end of 2006.
So far, the main target is to increase the rate of flow and reduce
waiting time in immigration. However other targets are being
looked at, including library card, medical card, purchases of
utilities(gas electric water) and so on.
Also need to point out that privacy group has raised concern that
information stored would be made easily available to people and
the potential risk of forgery by enterprising criminals (and as we
saw) corrupted officials.
I wish you luck in your research and hopefully you would share
your result with everyone. Social Critic 13.03.2002

ECO-TOURISM:
I once attended a forum/seminar where Sheikh Jamaluddin gave a
lecture on his tourism promotion. From what he said, the tourism
industry is targeting 2 areas- ECO-TOURISM and FAMILY TOURISM.
As for eco-tourism, we do have facilities to accommodate these.
Belalong for example can accommodate the tourists should they
want to stay out. And with family tourism, there are many
attractions here to satisfy the tourists.
At the end of the day however, we cannot deny that to promote the
tourism industry in Brunei is a difficult, if not almost
impossible, task. There are two main hindrances in my
opinion. First is that what we have to offer can be obtained
in more amount from our neighbours. Eco-tourism??
Malaysia, Philippines have more natural areas than us.
Family tourism?? More choices in other countries. The second
is ECONOMY. What we have to offer, our neighbours can offer
at more competitive prices. This is probably because of high
standard of living in Brunei and also since we are in the infant
stage, it costs more initially. Therefore the customers get
charged more. Again, I hope tourism succeeds as it can create
opportunities such as jobs and exposure. MAT!!! 13.03.2002

sekali, pada hari kiamat nanti Allah akan jadikan mereka "memakan
mayat saudaranya (saudara sesama islam) sendiri". Secara
otomatik tangan mereka akan mengoyak-ngoyak daging mayat dan
meratahnya dengan rakus walaupun hatinya menolak. Pada hari kiamat
juga mereka akan mencakar-cakar muka hingga terkulisi (tanggal
kulit dan isi). Itu balasan bagi pengumpat. Jika menyebut sesuatu
keburukkan tanpa menyebut nama ianya adalah dikira sebagai "IKTIBAR,
PENGAJARAN ATAUPUN CONTOH" dan jauh sekali dikatakan
mengumpat. Kata sebahagian guru-guru, pengajaran tanpa contoh amat
lambat untuk difahami. Kalau berdegil juga ingin mengatakan ianya
mengumpat, adakah ani bermakna imam-imam pun dikira mengumpat
apabila mereka berkhutbah menyebut kejahatan-kejahatan orang yang
inda patut dicontohi (contohnya masa valentine dulu) hanya kerana
imam atu bercakap dibelakang mereka (kalau durang inda sembahyang)?
Adakah guru, ustaz, penceramah ugama dan sebagainya pun dikira
mengumpat jika menyebut suatu kejahatan tanpa menyebut nama orang
sebagai contoh untuk dijauhi?. Tanpa contoh orang akan lambat
faham. Kalau setakat berkata " Pakai ketat, dedah aurat
sana-sini untuk apa ?, inda bagus jua tu ", belumlah boleh
lagi dikatakan sebagai mengumpat. Ianya bukan keburukkan. Kalau
buruk sudah tentu durang inda kan berpakain tapi macam telanjang.
Ianya sesuatu yang cantik tetapi menyalahi hukum syariat.
Sepatutnya berpakaian terdedah hanya didepan suami. Ani syariat
yang sebenar. Perlu diingat, bukan hanya mengumpat ani saja yang
berdosa. Mendedahkan aurat pun berdosa dan akan diseksa Allah
didalam neraka. Ada satu cerita ugama mengatakan sekiranya seorang
perempuan m!
endedahkan sehelai rambut lalu dilihat oleh seorang lelaki saja,
ia akan diseksa 10,000 tahun dineraka. Kalau 5 lelaki melihat akan
digandakan lima, 50,000 tahun. Bagaimana kalau mendedahkan seluruh
rambut dihalayak ramai ? Isshh azabnya seksa Allah. Bercakap pasal
"nasihati baik-baik" ani memang mudah menyebut tapi
susah mempraktikkan. Karang dijawapnya "BAPAKU SENDIRI INDA
MELARANG, KITA TAH PULANG SEBOK"...Pahit saja liur. Diri jua
yang marah karang. Hak seorang muslim pada muslim yang lain ialah
menasihatinya jika berbuat dosa. Ani jua akan ditanya nanti dihari
kiamat. - "NASIHAT MENASIHATI DENGAN KEBENARAN, NASIHAT
MENASIHATI DENGAN KESABARAN". (SURAH AL-ASR 4-5) BK 13.03.2002

RTB News
Presenters - new faces:
People who
have been complaining about the lack of new faces on RTB news,
obviously haven't been keeping a close enough eye on it - true -
the Malay news has pretty much the same old faces - but - nothing
wrong with that - as those "old faces" are the
best at what they do - delivering the news - if people don't like
watching them - then give yourself and the rest of us a break and
listen to the radio news. It's not fair to single out the
readers, (by name!), simply because they've been doing the job for
10 years or more. A lot of them have been there for that
amount of time, not just the mentioned by "Bruneian".
On the topic of giving chance to other people to present -
RTB is doing just that - and who do you think trains them?
Other newscasters of course - the ones who have been there for
years - yes - they do have other duties besides going on air
to read the news. Constructive criticism wouldn't go
unappreciated by those on the job - but comments resembling
"she's so old, so get her off the air" shouldn't even be
given space in the forum. Lastly - there are 1 or 2 new faces on
the English news, News at 10 - no one seems to have mentioned or
even noticed yet. So, to say that there are no new faces is
inaccurate. 1 or 2 new faces aren’t many, but one
reason for the lack of new talent is simple - it's hard to find!
To all the people complaining about it, why don't you have a try
and see if you can do the job or not..... good luck! nonimus 13.03.2002

Regarding
thieves break into Brunei banks and safe machines:
Those thugs should be shot to death on the spot by police, armed
robbery should be dealt with severely even if the robbers are
using knife or piece of metal. Anybody over the age of 18 who
commit these sort of crimes should be hanged like those who abuse
drugs. Hang a few and make it public then you see what will happen
to those rats from abroad and from around Brunei.....stiff
punishment is needed...we have been saying that for 10 years now,
get rid of those terrorists..... steve, Canada 13.02.2002

Opinion on
Tourism in Brunei: Though
I am of Brunei origin, I honestly think that Brunei do lack some
important attractions. But we cannot simply rely on the present
attractions such as Kampong Ayer and mosques. Tourists want more
than that because attractions like these can also be found in
Venice, Italy, or the great mosqes of the Arab countries. Maybe
Brunei could not offer active city life like Singapore or Kuala
Lumpur. We surely can attract tourists by other means. Most
tourists expect more culture exhibitions. If that's what they
want, I think holding more culture shows such traditional dances,
theatre of the past, eg: history of Nakhoda Manis, Lumut Lunting,
etc may help. This would need talented participants and I think it
would be a good idea to set up a production house that
particularly trains actors/actresses or dancers for such
exhibitions, not only in the short-run but also in the long-run.
This might attract those unemployed and surely will help ease our
employment problem.
The other attraction is eco-tourism. If eco-tourism is to be the
main attraction, I think there should also be places to
accommodate the potential tourists such as a resort in the jungle
where tourists can peacefully stay while enjoying nature or
resorts on the islands potential for attraction, particularly
those rich in corals and have beautiful sandy beaches, tourists
would love that. I do not know if Brunei has such islands but I
will check it out.
And lastly, I think that effective tourist industry is only
efficient if the money and effort is invested in the right areas
of the industry. For example, I think building expensive hotels
such as the Empire is of little use in attracting tourists because
they do not come just to spend time in luxurious hotels and those
who could afford these hotels do not normally enjoy nature that
much, which is inconsistent with our eco-tourism business. I think
this should have been invested in resorts or exploiting other
potential places and improving the places of attractions instead
so that tourists enjoy their stay. Nurul Kirani Abdul Wahab kirani2211@hotmail.com

The
Brunei Dilemma:
The
current problems faced by Brunei and Bruneians - unemployment,
increased crime rate, inefficient bureaucracy, poor work ethics
etc.- can upon analysis be described as two-dimensional. The first
is an institutional one. It involves policy formulation, its
implementation and administration. In short, problems that pertain
to the machinery of government, and most members of the public
tend to focus their grievances on this aspect. Some have proposed
a number of solutions, ranging from better accountability and
transparency within government to outright dismissal of government
officials that they deem to be incompetent. These institutional
problems are in reality short-term issues that require only
short-term solutions. However, they are also short-term in
effectiveness.
I would like to draw our attention instead to the second dimension
of our problems and that is the systemic one. Systemic problems
concern issues that inherently create the environment or
situation, which creates institutional problems. For instance, the
issue of government officers coming in late and leaving early, or
leaving their duties to attend to "personal" errands is
one that the government had tried to solve back in the 1980s, well
before independence. Various rules were introduced and enforced;
yet the problem has persisted. In fact, other institutional
problems has since arisen, such as poor policy planning that did
not fully anticipate the rise in employment demands, the utilising
of inefficient methods of economic diversification, the inability
to implement a merit-based system of promotion etc. Why these
problems arose, and why I believe they will continue to persist
and even grow worse is because the very socio-political system
that we Bruneians live in breeds such problems. To begin with,
basic elements of good governance such as transparency and
accountability cannot function within the current system simply
due to the fact that it requires a locus of political power that
is variable: one that is subject to the dynamics of national
demands. With a static or constant locus of political power, as we
currently have in Brunei, transparency and accountability will
only be directed toward that locus of power within which lies the
only accountability that matters. This fact is self-evident. Thus,
as long as systemic issues are not addressed, institutional
problems will always persist. And as these problems accumulate,
sooner or later, there will come the straw that eventually breaks
the camel's back. Global Hermit paradigm68@hotmail.com

Reply
to SC's query To
SC: To be frank and honest with you as well as with
all the readers of Have Your Say, I am neither an intellect nor an
expert of Islam. So, what I will say here regarding Sufism is just
a general overview of what my understanding of the word is. As
such, any mistakes made on my part regarding its interpretation
are deeply regretted and any form of corrections is greatly
appreciated. Anyway, Sufism, or Tasawwuf as it is known in Arabic,
is regarded by scholars and Sufis as the inner, mystical dimension
of Islam or in other words, it is Islamic mysticism. Nowadays
however, some Muslims regard Sufism as outside the sphere of
Islam. Sufis see themselves to be on the spiritual journey to God
and the practice of Sufism is the intention to go towards the
truth, by means of love and devotion. Sufism helps them to
be aware of the true purpose of life i.e. unfailing service to
Allah. Sufis live with an ever-increasing awareness of Allah and
one aspect of this awareness is
the practice of zikr (zikir) which is what you saw on the
documentary a few nights ago. I understand Tasawwuf as being the
practice of purifying the 'baatin' or heart of a man from lowly
bestial attributes and at the same time, adorning it with lofty
attributes such as gratefulness, fear of Allah, trust,
perseverance, repentance etc. According to some scholars, minus
Tasawwuf, a Muslim cannot be described as a true Muslim.
Wallahu'alambissawab. That is as much as I understand about Sufism
and I dare not say much because as I said earlier, my knowledge of
Islam is not diverse. I do know enough to judge what is 'halal'
and what is 'haram,' as well as what is 'wajib' and to a certain
extent, what is 'sunnat,' 'makruh,' and 'harus.' If you require
more information, perhaps you ought to ask someone who is in the
know. Rational 13.03.2002

Gadis melayu
Malas
ku kan membagi idea panjang lebar takut karang inda kena keluarkan.
But selepas membaca the comments about girls wearing really
appealing clothes this is what I have to say. Masalah ani
sebenarnya shouldn't be blamed directly arah diurang. A lot
of parties contributed to their ulah. Parents might not be
as strict or have a firm belief in their faith. Peer
pressure is another. These girls I assumed just want to be a
part of something. They need a sense of belonging to their
friends. Of course being young what is portrayed by the
media is assumed to be the 'cool' thing. One thing that I
like to add is whoever yg inda suka these girls bepakaian macam
atu why not tagur bisai2. Jgn di lect and dimalukan diurang
sebabnya makin menjadi tia. In addition to that, talking
behind their back isn't good enough is it? Bukankah
mengumpat namanya tu? Now tell me inda bedusakan mengumpat
ani? And to org Islam bila kiamat nanti seksanya is kitani
makan bangkai cousin kitani bila kita mengumpat ppl. Unless
I'm wrong of course... Quiero saber 13.03.2002

Islam
and the different Mazhabs
I have a question to ask kepada orang-orang yang
berpengetahuan mengenai the different Mazhabs in Islam. Dalam
documentary yang kena tayangkan di UK baru-baru ani, bini-bini
yang mempraktikkan sufism atu sembahyang tapi pakai tudong yang
main ikat belakang leher, meaning that, lehernya exposed masa ia
sembayang atu. Also, this very same woman pun ada memelihara kuyuk.
Adakah atu disebabkan ia mengikut Mazhab lain dari ketani? Aku
notice orang Arab di sini yang mengakun Islam, ada jua yang inda
segan silu memegang kuyuk mcm anak the late King Hussein of Jordan
(she was featured in a magazine bepaluk sama kuyuk). And then,in
the documentary as well, two of the women converts atu kena
liatkan beckp dlm cafe and then they decided kan sembahyang
Maghrib. They found a spot dlm shopping complex atu and tarus tah
sembahyang, without mengambil wuduk terlebih dahulu. Macam mana
kan tu? Is that due to different Mazhabs as well? And in the
documentary shown the night before this one, kena lihatkan orang
Islam di London sembahyang di Trafalgar Square (selepas durang
buat demonstrasi pasal Amerika dan Britain membom Afghanistan). I
noticed some of the people yang sembahyang atu menaruh kayu arah
tempat durang sujud. If I'm not mistaken, atu because durang atu
Shi'ah kan? Sebab ada pernah aku kena bagitau yang orang Shi'ah
kalau sembahyang, durang mesti sujud arah benda yang keras macam
batu etc. Just need some clarification here so kalau siapa-siapa
yang tahu atu, tolong jawab my query ani. Thanks a lot! Ingin

Worried
- Your ideas certainly worry me!! I can't believe that you are
seriously saying that women are in some way to blame for rape
because of the way they dress. I can assure you that rape takes
place in cultures where women are completely covered up as well -
except that in these countries, women are likely to be more
vulnerable and have less of a voice in society, thus these acts
are not brought out into the public.
I believe that rape is more about power and respect than it is
about sex. A man rapes a woman because he is stronger, he has no
respect for her and he wants to do whatever pleases himself
regardless of it's effects on his victim. I think what you are
saying is that a woman somehow contributes to the rape because she
shows her 'aurat'. Well, please tell me how far this covering-up
should go - should she cover every part of her body including her
eyes? Or is it OK just to cover her hair? What about her hands?
Which type of women are deserving of such 'respect' as you see it?
I take your point that dressing provocatively and 'teasing' men,
is asking for trouble - but can't you see that it is men's
attitudes towards women, which need changing?
There will always be men who think that women are just sluts no
matter what they wear. And there are lots of men who wouldn't
dream of hurting anyone - even a woman who was walking naked down
the street. Please don't tell me that men are weak - that's like
saying that thieves are weak and people who live in nice houses
ask to be robbed. As my husband says - men are not animals!! Would
these rapists hurt their sisters or their mothers if they
uncovered their arms?
Rape is a horrible crime against women - no one 'asks for it'. I
would say that women who raped in cars at midnight are guilty of
being too trusting. These women deserve our sympathy and our help
- not unjustified comments about their clothes. Woman 13.03.2002

Jawi 2x Size:
Just like the
case of our MIB shirt. Is it really a baju melayu? If one looks
closely, we could clearly see its origin being Chinese. In other
words we are calling an ancient Chinese shirt an MIB shirt. Now
the case of Jawi is similar. Jawi is based on Arabic and therefore
it is of Middle Eastern Origin. Again it is not really our
culture. So my question is why are we promoting other cultures in
the name of our culture? Mohd Ali 13.03.2002

Keep up the
good work:
Hi..I have been reading the
comments/opinions/judgments/frustrations/criticism (and whatever
lah) posted by readers and I found it very interesting and
exhilarating (though sometimes disgusted). However just want to
express my tahniah to Brudirect "team" that had opened
and maintained this message posting thingee. May I make a
suggestion, is it possible for the Brudirect "team" to
sort the all the topics discussed respectively. It would be easier
to read if you guys sorted readers’ reply in such a way that it
will be MORE convenient if it’s not asking much from you guys.
Ani everytime kan mencheck reply org about something terpaksa tah
mencari bisai bisai lagi. The thing is I know you guys could do
better than this. Above all just want to say keep up the good
work. aL-firE 12.03.2002

Fesyen menutup
aurat banyak lagi yang lawa-lawa:
Tapi kenapa fesyen dedah sana, dedah sini, seluar kanak-kanak (sampit
dan tingkai) jua yang jadi pilihan. Barangkali fesyen menutup
aurat atu mahal inda durang terbeli, jadi durang pakai saja tia
baju lama yang sudah bedamitan atu. Apa kata kitani tubuhkan
TABUNG AURAT (secara sah) mengutip duit untuk membeli pakaian yang
sesuai untuk durang. Kalau terjumpa bini2 yang berpakaian sampit
tingkai, sedakahi saja tia pakaian yang sesuai arahnya. Kasihan
bah sidurang ani. Di Brunei ani sudah ada satu bangsa (bukan
melayu) yang melampau-lampau fesyennya sampai seluar pun kan
terlondeh macam Britney Spear. Baju inda lagi bertangan. Kalau kan
mau tau bangsa apa, sila round ke kompleks Yayasan Sultan Haji
Hassanal Bolkiah selalu. Inda jua patut kalau bini2 melayu islam
Brunei kan mengikut telatah orang kafir ani. BK.

Expats in
Brunei:
I would like to make a comment on what cendikiawan ulu
said about the employment of expats. Being a true Bruneian myself,
I would not think twice to agree that it is true that our local
experts are as good as the ones 'imported' by the country. One of
the differences between the locals and the foreigners, among other
things, is the fact that, a majority of local Bruneians are LAZY.
Take for example the government departments at 10 in the morning
or 3 in the afternoon. Where are all the people? And talk about
rudeness!!! Bruneians take too many things for granted. Lazy
high-ranking officers get promoted nevertheless.
Compared to the manpower of many countries, I think most private
companies would choose to employ a foreigner even though it would
cost them more just to get the work done! Just Me.

Kes
Rogol makin meningkat
Assalamualaikom
to semua pembaca..sorry, my english and malay berterabur..campur2....maklum
inda pandai speaking english belaying....tapi yg penting isi
messagenya kan?....anyway...pasal my topic di atas....i have read
some of the messages about the `cara pemakaian bini2 brunei masa
ani'.....well..me agree dgn message2 atu..masa ani mmg banyak
bini2 melayu yg sudah pandai terdedah sana terdedah sini....dont
you guys think that the way you dress up is ONE of the major
factor of RAPE cases????...i didnt say that semua atu bini2 punya
salah sebab pakai baju seksi2 atau yg boleh menaikkan nafsu laki2
and it got nothing to do with guys!!......but IT IS one of the
contributing factor...
Cuba biskita fikir, laki2 mana yang inda tertarik dan naik nafsu
bila meliat bini2 pakai the so called spaghetti straps tops..atau
tops lain yg banyak mendedahkan your lovely boobs which you are
proud of.... in other words, apakan buaya buat kalau mangsanya ada
di dapan mata? It won’t waste anytime or chance...lainlah kalau
laki2 atu malaikat kali yang di anugerahkan oleh tuhan dengan nada
nafsu...lelaki dan perempuan semua ada nafsu...dan kenapa
banyaknya mangsa2 rogol went out with the rapist during midnight
in the first place? Without any permission and knowledge of their
parents? OK, maybe alasannya because you are grown ups, need
freedom...right, if you are grown ups, kenapa inda befikir dua
kali? kenapa inda dapat befikir buruk dan baiknya keluar tgh2
malam sama laki2 (samaada yg di kenali atau inda)? so..here is the
situation,bini2 pakai baju seksi, laki2 yg inda teguh imannya,
midnight, nobody was around to watch over both of you (except
ALLAH swt-if you'd remembered), you two were alone...what would
you expect to happen??? AGAIN,Im not blaming BULAT2 arah bini2,
ada mangsa2 rogol yg decent, tapi terpedaya oleh kata2 manis
laki2....what my point is, pakaian seksi dan rogol mmg berkaitan....
Seperti msg2 lain, mmg inda salah kalau kitani ikuti arus moden
supaya kitani inda nampak ketinggalan zaman..or KUNO...cuma,
pandai2 lah kitani sendiri meng-adaptasikan kemodenan dengan cara
kitani berpakaian,...bukan saja pakaian, malahan, cara2 kitani
hidup sebagai org islam....yg me liat, bukan saja Bruneian muslim
yg belajar di UK or other foreign countries saja yang sudah pandai
terdedah sana sini, muslim di Brunei pun sudah pandai, malah ada
yg `labih2' lagi dari UK students...
same like RATIONAL....I also watched the documentary
shown at channel 4 on Sat and Sunday....ada yg memalukan..dan ada
yg membuat me think twice...one of the muslim women (she is an
Englsih woman converted to Islam) tried to explain to one of the
interviewers,` why do we have to wear scarfs (tudong) and cover up
ourselves(aurat)'....she said that, if you can think, which lady
will a man prefer ? a lady who covers up all over her body, doesnt
show all her beauty....or a lady with skimpy skirts and sexy
tops?..of course MOST men will say the sexy one....jadi, dengan
menutup aurat, bukan saja kitani boleh menyelamatkan diri kitani
dari maksiat2, tapi boleh menyelamatkan somebody's marriage, if
you can think it that way....she also made me think, kalau `org
putih' boleh berubah dan insaf, kenapa kitani inda?...masih banyak
masa lagi utk tani bertaubat sebelom terlambat...
So, dari apa yg me dapat conclude dari documentary atu, Allah
menurunkan semua undang2 dan syarat2 dalam ugama kitani, bukannya
kan menyeksa kitani..tapi utk memudahkan kehidupan kitani, tiap
syarat dan rules dari Allah, mesti ada kebaikan di sebaliknya...so
, jgnlah kitani merungut kan sembahyang 5 waktu, sebab banyak
projek dan keraja kan di buat...for ladies, jgn merungut bila nada
guys kan date you out or nada guys yang bagi kamu attention
because kamu betudung dan tutup aurat...what do you want in a
relationship kan? a man who only LIKES you because you look
beautiful and sexy (which wont last longer) or a man who loves you
because your personality...even kalau tani betudong, org lawa
tambah lawa jua bah.. manis kalau kitani betudong....
Bukan me kan jadi penceramah di sini ani...dan menuding jari whose
fault was it...tapi sebagai saudara sesama islam, i have a
responsibility to mengingati sesama kitani...aku pun NOT THAT ALIM....im
also worried about those rape cases yg makin meningkat di negara
kitani....lagipun, ruangan ani khas utk bagi pendapat masing2...yg
aku harapkan semoga kitani sama2 dapat mengambil iktibar...to
ladies out there, nada salah kalau tani kan belawa dan trendy...cuma
kesederhanaan atu yg penting...cuba kitani menyemarakkan lagi
semula zaman kegemilangan islam....hari Qiamat pun inda jua kitani
tau bila kan berlaku...jangan tah Qiamat, kitani MATI pun
inda kitani tau bila... WORRIED

"Mom,
I'm a Muslim"
To
BK, Binocular etc: As I mentioned in
my previous message, di mlm meliat tah ku documentary pasal
bini-bini Inggeris di UK yang memeluk agama Islam. Durang convert
bukan sebab kan kahwin, tapi atas kemahuan sendiri selepas
mendalami ajaran agama Islam. Yang aku terharu banar-banar, durang
ani pulang yang beriya-iya banar kan menutup aurat tapi at the
same time, durang takut jua sebab their families ada yang alum tau
pasal their conversion. And masa documentari atu kena filemkan, di
sini riuh pasal orang Islam kena jadikan target oleh org-org yg
marah bakas tragedi 9/11 dulu. However, these women, nda jua
melakapkan tudong durang. Ada lagi yang sorang atu meliatkan
pakaian dlm almarinya and she had some skirts yang bebalah sana
sini and ada yang katat. Ia pulang tau bah yang those type of
skirts inda dpt dipakai sebab ia orang Islam udah. Malu ku
ehhhhh.sebab orang kitani yang dilahirkan Islam pulang inda
menitik-beratkan cara pemakaian yang betul cara Islam. Ani,
converts pulang yang pandai bah memilih which type of clothes are
okay and which aren't. Yang lebih membanggakan is the fact that
durang ani inda kisah kalau kena cemuh, kena sindir, etc.
sebab durang bertudong and menutup aurat and di UK lagi tu, negeri
bukan Islam. Di Brunei, kalau kan betudong or menutup aurat atu,
nada orang kan mengucapkan tapi we still see that some
bini-bini Brunei yang Islam and Melayu payah-payahan kan menutup
aurat masing-masing. What a SHAME! Rational 12.03.2002

Visit
Brunei:
I
agree with the Belgium journalists. I enjoyed a wonderful 2 weeks
in Brunei seeing the sights. My sister teaches in Brunei and I
came to visit from New Brunswick, Canada, in February (a cold and
snowy month in Eastern Canada). We visited Bandar, Tutong,
Jerudong, Kampung Ayer and Bangar (Temburong). We went to the
National Park for an overnight visit. The country is beautiful and
the people are wonderfully hospitable. I can't wait to visit
again! Ann MacNeil amacneil@nbnet.nb.ca

Rational:
I
have watched the programme ''Mum, I'm a Muslim'.
What I want to know more about is this Sufi that I heard. It
stresses about spiritualism over rules. I am not so sure what it
is. Care to explain a bit more? SC

Smart
Card
By now, the long queues in Immigration department for the
new smart ID card should have ease up.
So have we found any uses yet for the innovative smart card? I
remember reading last week about easing border passing to KK. But
have the Malaysian authorities equipped themselves with this
facility?
Apart from our obvious details written on the card, can the card
store more info?
I read that similar smart card are being used (or trial) in UK for
storing patient's medical history, so as to combine technology and
reduce waiting for information retrieval (look at the one we had
in our hospitals). Amah with trays of files.
Since we are a step ahead in this field, why not we pioneer in
trials and study into the capability of this smart card? SC

State
of unemployment in Brunei:
Unemployment is now very evident in Brunei, one might say
there are hundreds of reasons for this. Before anyone suggests or
points out any solution to these let’s have a look at the state
of the country, the adapted policy, people patriotism, national
interest, human resources development, people sense of belonging
and a lot more. Why are there still a lot of foreign semiskilled
labour and so-called expatriate here in Brunei? Why the private or
public sectors are still employing these people? Just a mere
example or fact, gov't employ an expatriate say for 3 yrs
contract, the salary is at least $3+++, house rent $3+++, child
education allowance $4+++ ( four children @$1+++), gratuity @$1+++
a month all in all the gov't has to forked out at least $11+++ per
month, this is excluded airfares tickets from here to their home
land. So now you can see how much will it cost to hire an expat.
The question is do we really need all these expats, do we really
lack of local people to take over this job, or it is just a matter
of national interest as some say 70% local and 30% expat work
force. There are more to this I hope we could put together our
ideas to at least look at these matter in a constructive manner.

Correction to
my Previous Post:
With respect to my
previous calculation about 2,740 rooms and 274 hotels, IT SHOULD
BE 27.4 HOTELS, not 274 hotels. Again this is still
theoretically impossible. Thank you. MAT!!! awg_md_2@hotmail.com

Tourism
in Brunei:
Negative promotion is
unfortunately one of the roots of the LACK OF SUCCESS OF BRUNEI
TOURISM. I still remember about 8 years back in the UK when,
just out of curiosity, I went to a travel agency and asked about
Brunei. The travel agent simply said “Don't go there.
There's nothing there.” I was surprised and taken aback.
Now, one can say that this happened 8 years ago, and the situation
is different now. I feel things have not changed much and
that's the source which Sheikh Jamaluddin and the tourism people
should tackle. Instead of trying to promote tourism IN
BRUNEI, maybe funds should be concentrated towards promoting
tourism OUT OF BRUNEI. Targeting Sabah and Sarawak is a good
idea, as Brunei has an easy access there. Also, it should be
considered that if local travel agents promote Sabah and Sarawak
as part of their package deals, why not VICE VERSA? Do local
travel agents have deals with regional agents where they promote
Brunei and then pass it on to the local agents upon arrival in
Brunei? I hope so.
Let's hope Sheikh Jamaluddin will continue his mission. We
can not deny that this is a VERY TOUGH CHALLENGE. And
whatever happened to the 1 million target tourists in 2001?
Has the actual number been so low that it has not been published?
Did it even reach 10% of the target? The public has a right
to know. In the first place, it was
probably an overly-ambitious target to start with. If that
value is calculated, this equates to 2,740 tourists per day
arriving. Assuming the tourists only stay for a day in Brunei,
then this means we need 2,740 hotel rooms. On the basis of
hotels having 100 rooms, we need 274 hotels. This is
theoretically impossible. And this calculation is based on
tourists staying only for 1 day!!
In addition, the Tourism people should also target those who are
connected with the industry. Problems such as transport
should be dealt with peacefully. I still remember A
TAXI-DRIVER AND A HOTEL REPRESENTATIVE ARGUING ABOUT WHO SHOULD
TAKE THIS TOURIST TO THEIR HOTEL. I don't want to take sides
here. The taxi-driver needs to have customers. At the
same time, the hotel has rights to pick up their guests as part of
the deal. But this matter should not be argued in public.
Myself, and probably everybody watching that scene were
embarrassed. IMAGINE WHAT THE TOURIST WAS THINKING!
The proverb 'FIRST IMPRESSIONS LAST' comes into mind.
So to all; Sheikh Jamaluddin (who I hope is reading this),
hotels, transports, and even us to portray the courtesy of 'kitani
orang brunei' are responsible in this.
Tourism, if properly done, can be an economic boost for the
country.
Thank you. MAT!!! awg_md_2@hotmail.com

Menganggur:
Ani reply untuk d'graduan Brunei. My opinion simple
saja. I agree with you, lah. The administration di
Brunei really memilih bukannya the penggangur yg memilih.
Brunei in my opinion masih lagi mengamalkan tradisi family comes
first without acknowledging the capabilities of the individual.
Kalau negara kitani ani inda mengubah attitude I guaranty you the
gap between the rich and the poor will be wider and when that time
comes, it might just be a tad bit late to inject money

Whoa! From what I
saw in this website yesterday, I’m proud to say that Brunei has
so many kid geniuses that they’ve been able to enter the Sixth
Form College. No wonder, the college is having problems trying to
accept the normal students. He, he, he, you got the wrong picture.

Setuju
dengan BK
Memang banar nya BK atu. Bini-bini kitani (sebahagiannya)
sekarang ani nampak berpakaian tapi macam telanjang. Ani kejadian
dipejabat imigresen. Seperti biasa, orang yang kan mengambil
numbor untuk membuat IC baru terpaksa datang awal pagi-pagi
lagi,tapi ada jua inda dapat. Buat appointment saja. INILAH
KECEMERLANGAN PEJABAT IMIGRESEN KITANI. Masa jam 6.30 pagi orang
sudah beratur memanjang. Ada saorang bini-bini (melayu, cakap
Brunei) atu ia ani didepan , badannya kira termasuk dalam kategori
mengancam jua. Tapi ia punya seluar isssssshhhh membari terbeliak
mata meliat punggungnya. Seluarnya atu jenis nipis ketat lagi tu.
Bukan saja takah sependad, takah punggungnya pun nampak. Dari jauh
bentuk "w" nampak jelas macam orang inda berseluar
langsung. Sedangkan dibelakangnya ada berpuloh-puloh orang lelaki
perempuan meliat kedidia. Dibelakang ramai orang menyumpah,
mengucapkan ia. Bini-bini sendiri pun mengucapkan "SELUAR
ADINYA KALI ?". Ada yang mengucapkan inda cukup!
kain, saudagar punggung, bohsia, show-off punggong dan
bermacam-macam lagi cerita. Jantang miang pasti seronok melihat
free show yang ditayangkan bini-bini atu. Sepatutnya kalau kan
TIGER SHOW sekalipun hanya didepan laki masa dirumah saja. Ani
dikhalayak ramai. Larap usulnya. Orang macam ani rugi dijadikan
bini sebab sudah terlampau exposed sana-sini. Binocular pacak@bigfoot.com

Miri
is NOT safe for Bruneians!
All
those talk about Miri being a safe place and that the safety of
Bruneians visiting Miri is guaranteed is nothing but a lot of
empty promises! The Malaysian Minister Yang Melaung-laungkan
Bahawa Miri ani selamat untuk tani, orang Brunei, atu eksen ganya
tu! Those Malaysians are only interested in our MONEY and in order
to boost the flagging number of Bruneian visitors as well as the
decreasing amount of Brunei $$$$ entering Miri, pandai-pandai tah
durang kan cakap yang Miri ani selamat, Miri okay udah and selamat
ni org kitani kalau di sana.. SELAMAT NINI MU! Lihat apa terjadi
last weekend to the Bruneian yang ke sana. He was beaten up by
some Chinese thugs sampai hilang-menghilang giginya. Baik gigi,
mun nyawa? Banar tah orang-orang Brunei, JANGAN TAH KE MIRI!
Boycott tah Miri atu! Mun nya orang mahal barang di Brunei,
pembalas ku will be: Baik save nyawa, dari save duit. Yang ku
sasak berabis, mun orang Miri ke mari, inda jua tani kan
berani-berani menghantam bisdurang. Yang ketani ke sana, habis
kena kerajakan. Banar ehhh..... nada ku kan ke Miri lagi. Pebaik
saudara-mara ku banyak di sana. Sorrriiiii lahhh..... I'd rather
boost Brunei's own economy by spending my cash in the country. Cencalu
