Road mapping key events and developments starting with independence in 1984, this book highlights important political, social, cultural changes in Brunei’s contemporary history. Far from being a typical history book, Faces of Brunei isn’t just about the historical milestones, it’s about ordinary citizens whose contributions - however big or small - have collectively moved the nation forward. The stories you’ll find in this book span the spectrum of Bruneian life, from the country’s political leaders and entrepreneurs, to the athletes, artists and everyday heroes who inspire hope for the country’s future. Faces of Brunei: Stories of a Nation is not just a celebration of the past 40 years, but a tribute to the spirit of Brunei and its people.
