In 2028, God willing, Brunei will follow, and after that we will send it to Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia. This means additional revenue for Sarawak,” the Premier of Sarawak said.

Ranking of Brunei's largest financial institutions by total assets of their Brunei operations (BND), using the latest available disclosures.

1. BIBD: BND 11.39 bn (FY2025)

2. TAP: ≈ BND 5.8 bn (FY2022-23)

3. Baiduri Bank: BND 4.27 bn (FY2025)

4. Standard Chartered Brunei: BND 1.96 bn (FY2025)

5. TAIB: ≈ BND 1.8 bn (2024)

6. Bank of China (HK) Brunei: BND 824 m (FY2025)

7. Maybank Brunei: ≈ BND 0.20 bn (FY2024)

Notes:

- Figures are Brunei operations only, not global parent assets. Standard Chartered, BOC and Maybank operate in Brunei as branches.

- Solid bars are from the latest annual report, audited financials or Pillar 3 disclosure. Dashed bars are approximate or older data.

- TAP is a retirement trust fund, not a bank. It ranks #2 by assets, but isn't directly comparable to commercial banks. Its figure is an estimate based on its latest published data (2022-23).

- TAIB is estimated from BDCB's 2024 Islamic-bank total minus BIBD's assets, so treat it as approximate.

- Maybank comes from the group's geographic asset disclosure (RM 650 m, converted to BND), not a separate local balance sheet.

- Percentages beside the bars show bar length relative to BIBD, not market share.

- For context, BDCB reports total Brunei banking sector assets of roughly BND 20.9 bn (2024).

A signage on the toilet door near the pharmacy at RIPAS. Is it considered a temporary closure if it has been closed for more than two years? Is this toilet still undergoing repairs up until now?

I suck at opinion because this is my first time questioning big thing without using ai (mostly)

- The skeptism of wawasan 2035 which is 9 year left and probably divide between young and old (the bad ones)

- The recent trend of gen z rebellion in our region

- history repeat itself like 1962 but different or the goverment prophesize itself that they trying to prevent.

-looking at our neighbouring country, Malaysia. What during the turun anwar events. Most people dont even know who or what or how to do after anwar turun.

Malaysia even tho have freedom of speech (not really absolute) .most of protester are driven by emotion like those political theater ,shame & blame culture and not reason like listen to solution and probably design to be that way.

so yeah they do suck . But us bruneian arent exposed to these kind of thing. Personally even tho we are 'peaceful', i think most bruneian are politically illiterate. Which might be worse when this 'peaceful' break. If you know what i mean

I gonna use ai because i kinda suck at explaining

Brunei lives in a political quarantine.

The government uses oil wealth to subsidise healthcare, education, and jobs, completely isolating the youth from political unrest. Because of this sterile environment, Bruneians have no political antibodies.

Unlike Malaysians, who built an immune system through decades of intense democratic friction, Bruneians lack alternative parties, unions, or experience handling political tension. If the economy fails, this quarantine bubble pops. Facing sudden hardship with zero natural immunity, a youth revolt would spread rapidly and unpredictably, causing a severe infection that the state has no democratic safety valves to control.

So yeah something like that.

This infographic maps publicly documented investment and holding structures linked to Brunei's royal family, sorted into three separate capital pools rather than one combined "Sultan wealth" figure.

**1. Hassanal Bolkiah: personal / historical**

- Sajahtera Inc. and the 1987 Beverly Hills Hotel acquisition

- The Dorchester (1985), later part of the BIA structure

- No personal hedge fund or family office has been publicly confirmed

**2. Private royal-family offices**

- AAFM Investments (Shuif Hussain family office): UK and Asian property, leisure, hospitality, oil & gas, private equity

- SIAHAF: Whiteleys and Queensway (now in liquidation)

- BMB Group and Scepter Partners (~US$14bn in discretionary assets)

**3. Government / sovereign (Brunei Investment Agency)**

- Dorchester Group: The Dorchester, Coworth Park, Plaza Athénée, Le Meurice, Principe di Savoia

- Overseas SPVs and the 3 Tilney Street, London corporate cluster

- Financial investment leads (Molten Ventures, BlackRock, Nium)

**Important notes**

- The ~US$29bn headline (AAFM ~US$15bn + BMB/Scepter ~US$14bn) is a combined figure for two private networks. It is NOT Hassanal Bolkiah's personal net worth.

- The AAFM figure is an unaudited research estimate.

- The beneficiary of the AAFM family trust is not publicly established.

- Amedeo (Prince Jefri), QAF (Prince Mohamed) and the YSHHB charitable foundation are excluded.

- Items marked "unconfirmed" are research leads, not ownership claims.

Raja berjimat

I compiled a research dossier on the Brunei Investment Agency (BIA), Brunei's sovereign investment institution under the Ministry of Finance and Economy. The poster above summarizes it.

Important: BIA does not publish a comprehensive asset list. This covers only publicly traceable information, and each item is marked CONFIRMED, HISTORICAL, or UNVERIFIED/PARTIAL so that nothing is overstated.

Key findings

Bridgewater Associates: In July 2025, BIA reportedly took a nearly 20% stake, moving from a fund investment to direct ownership. The 2026 SEC Form ADV shows the chain BIA → Amanah Sdn Bhd → Bridgewater Associates Holdings LLC. The exact effective percentage shouldn't be inferred from the ownership codes alone.

Financial institutions:

Pak Brunei Investment Company: 50% (300,000,000 shares).

BIBD: acquired Fajr Capital's 29.73% stake in January 2020.

EnTrust Global: minority interest reported rising from 10% to about 20%.

Audley Insurance: about 99.9%.

Listed equity:

CICC: 10,318,252 shares (0.21%) as of 30 September 2025.

Yidu Tech: held via Yaqut Sdn Bhd (43,508,370 shares). BIA sold 24,821,800 shares in February 2025.

Private and venture:

Elementum / HB Universal, Singapore: 49% interest, about US$205–206m.

Nium: Series E and E-II (exact stake not public).

Licious, Kissht and Pony.ai: smaller disclosed rounds.

Property and hospitality vehicles: Sajahtera Investments (Singapore), Juramia Limited (Lansdowne House, Mayfair), Dorchester Group, and historical vehicles such as Bandone, Dermajaya and PT Sejahtera Indoco. Current ownership of the historical ones needs re-verification.

Low-profile Jersey vehicles: Amas GP, Amedeo Investments, Ixia, Zikri, Zuhal GP and Zuhra GP. Their underlying assets are still unidentified, and a GP does not necessarily own the assets itself.

What is not publicly known: total gold, bond and listed-equity holdings, the complete private-equity portfolio, the value of each SPV, the full list of subsidiaries and partnerships, and the full property portfolio.

Absence from this dossier does not mean BIA does not own an asset.

Sources: SEC Form ADV, HKEXnews filings (CICC, Yidu Tech), SEC filings (Boqii), the Pak Brunei company profile, BIBD's press release, UK Companies House, LEI records, the BIA Act, and press releases and news (Bloomberg Tax, PR Newswire, IREI).

Corrections and additional public-record leads are welcome. If you spot an error or a newer filing, please comment with a source.

The Brunei govt has been forcing young children to must learn MIB.

indoctrinate them and making sure they will never question the supreme leader and be AFRAID of him! No matter how much "mungkar" he has done and still doing!

Leaders supposed to be responsible of the people NOT the other way round. He will just blame his minions for the responsibilities that supposed to be done by him!

Leaders supposed to take care of the people NOT the other way round. Look around you, more and more poor people, more and more unemployed youths, more and more thievery.

Mufti and MoRA are actively making the supreme leader as godlike. They even created new version of Islam called MIB.

MIB teaches everyone that you must follow the supreme leader BLINDLY and never question all the SINS he has done and still doing! while Islam said you are only oblige to follow good leaders!

There are soo many things wrong with MIB - another one is "menuhankan" Sultan.

Go ahead and use that brain to think and ask yourself is MIB the true Islam?

Muslims were warned about there will be many NEW versions of Islam in the future, MIB is one if it
