Popped By The Office For A Short While Kononnya. The Contractor Texted Me Tadi Pagi Informing Me Durang Potong Rumput Today. So I Took My Sweet Time Saja Lah. Took A Few Photos Pasalnya Bisai Ni Time Durang Baru Baru Mutung Ani So Nampak Fresh Plus Its A Sunday So No Kereta Yang Parking Siring Jalan Blocking The View.
From Sekajap Jadi Batah Haha And Its Raining Right Now Mudahan Jua Lah Nda Batah Hujannya. Planning Ku Kan Belusir Later. Semalam Udah My Running Plan Cancel Pasal The Family Bawa Makan Luar Which At The End. Aku Malas Kan Pigi So Durang Saja. Sal Lagi Ku Sanggup Liat Brunei Kana Belasah Oleh Thailand. Keh Keh Keh
Talking About Our Country's Sport. I Think Its About Fucking Bloody Time The Government Get Their Head Of Their Arses And Start Changing Our Mentality Of Just Sending Representatives To Make Up The Numbers Into Actually Sending Athletes Who Really Competes.
Football? Its The Country's Number One Sport But We Hardly Performed Well. What Happened To The Sport That Always Contributes Medal To The Country Like Karate & Silat? Gosh Its Embarassing Man. There Is No Progression No Improvement Whatsoever.
Fine If Somebody Will Come To Me And Say Its Easier Said Than Done. It Needed This It Needed That. Well If That Is Case Then Let's Just Packed Everything. Close The Border And Don't Let Everyone Out! Haa Haa Haa Nah Marah!
Okay Rant End Here.. Well Ish Ish Laa
You Know I Came Upon One Study Case Between Brunei And Singapore. And Then I Saw Yet Another One Last Night. Okay All Do I will Be Bias (Obviously) About Brunei But I Can Accept With Open Heart That Our Country Has Flaws. You Know Like Any Other Country In The World.
As I Said Will Be Bias But Hear Me Out yeah. To Compare This Two Countries In Terms Of Economic Development Is Hard. Becase Each One Has A Different Principles. As The World Know Brunei Nowadays Tend To Side More Into Religious And Spiritual Side. It Didn't Mean That We Are Getting Backward. As A Personal Opinion And I'm Sure Some Would Agree. We Took Our Sweet Time In Developing Our Country. And Even A Longer Time To Move Our Sole Dependant On Oil And Gas Into Something Else. By The Time We're About To Start Into Changing Our Mentality We Were Already To Far Behind. You Know The One That Really Pissed Me Off Is When Our Country Wanted To Invest In These And Then Suddenly Our Neighbouring Country Begin That Same Project.
In That Case Talk The Author Touches About Progression And Changes On Every Decade From The 50's, 60's, 70's 80's And So On. It Is Fair. You Can See How Progressive We Are Especially After The Discoverage Of Oil Up To The Boom Time Where The Price Of Oil Soared Due To The Embargo.
Here's My Take On It. Singapore As We Know Have No Natural Resources. So What They Do The Pumped Up On Their Economic Versatility. Not Just On Electronics But Also On Hub. Hence Why Prices Of Elctronic Are Usually Cheaper In Singapore Than It Was Here. Secondly Taxation Singapore Has A Few Hence Also Helps With Its Development.
And Then Comes The Population. Over Those Periods Our Country's Population Growth Compare To Singapore's Are Huge We Still Have Not Reach The One Million Mark Yet And The Later Has About 5 Million. Okay This Is More Of My Assumptions But I Do Believe Singapore Welcome A Lot Of Expats Who Then Become Citizens. While Brunei It Is Notoriously Hard. Even For A Someone Who Has Lived Here For Over 40-50 Years Still They Have Not Granted The Bruneian Citizenship Yet. Why? Probably Its Because Of MIB. Where The Government Wanted The Malay Race To Be Majority Race.
There Are More Reason Why Our Economy Are Struggling Especially For Local Businesses. We Were Surrounded By Malaysia And Every Weekend Bruneian Cross The Border To Spend Our Money. I Do Believe That Probably Over The Time The Government Need To Gain A Few Opportunities From This. Head Tax For Every Bruneian Crossing Into Miri And Limbang. Also A Road Tax For Every Foreign Registered Car Entering Brunei. It Do Not Have To Be Expensive But Over The Year The Revenue That The Country Collected From It Can Be Use To Fund Government's Project.
Actually These Photos Gonna Be Used By Me For Ranting Haa Haa Haa But Honestly I Have No Idea How My Plan Changed. Okay Lets Be Honest Even Though I Ranted About This Before But I Do See It In A Bigger Picture. I Do Understand That KB Town Are Going Through A Few Major Projects. One Its Replacing And Upgrading Kb's Sewage System And Then Also Upgrading The Road Conditions Along Kb-Seria By Pass.
The Reason I Put Up These Photos Mainly Because Yes I Do Agree That Brunei When It Comes To Development We Are Still In The Developing Stages. Will We See Skyscrapers Building In Our Country? Wallahualam I'm Not Sure But We Can See The Progress. We Started To See Growth Here And There. It Is Slow Yes But Its Ongoing. Also I Can See Our Government Started The Importance Of Home Grown Skilled Worker. Especially In Oil And Gas Sector Hence There Are A Lot Of Courses That Specified On Certain Skills. I Really Hoped That Our Government See The Importance Of This And Applied It To Every Sector Not Just In Oil And Gas.
The Author Also Touches About Negara Zikir And Brunei Global Halal Brand. First Of All Yes Sometime I Do Question What Is The Meaning Of Negara Zikir And How Can It Be Applied. To Be Brutally Honest I Am Not The Right Person To Answer. When It Comes To Brunei Global Halal Brand. It Is A Market That Our Country Can Tap Into Or Gain From. No Many Knows That When It Come To Halal Certification, Brunei's Halal Certification If Not The, Are One Of The Best. I Still Remember When My Dad Told Me During His Time As A Syariah Enforcement Officer. One Of His Job Description Is To Issue Halal Certification At Slaughter Houses And Such. Australia, China And Malaysia Were Among The Few Countries That He Flew For Work.
There He Monitored Everything Form Slaughtering Procession To Cutting Then Packaging Then Transportation To The Port. These Are The Stocks That Was Ordered By Bruneian Companies Such MC Maju, TGT And Many More Which Was Then To Be Sold In Bruneian Market.
One Of The Difference Between Brunei And Malaysia Is That Every Bruneian Orders Officers From Bahagian Kawalan Makanan Halal, Jabatan Hal Ehwal Ugama Will Be There To Monitor The Slaughtering Process. I Still Remember When My Dad Shared His Experiences. At One Time The Slaughtering House Has An Early Start Without Waiting For My Dad And His Colleague. So What Did They Do? They Asked Them To Stop Operation. To Throw Away All The Stocks And Start All Over. Eventhough The Company Begged Them To Let It Go But They Won't Because One It Is Written In The Contract And Second My Dad And His Colleague Do Not Dare To Bear The Sin. "Mun Tah Nda Halal.. Barang Atu Kana Makan Leh Org Tani Jadi Daging Bah Tu.. Selamanya Ku Nanggung Dusa.. Nda Ku Sanggup.. Gila!" That Was His Very Word.
Hence Our Strict Reputations Preceeds Us. Hence Why Everytime There Are Bruneian Orders Some The Arab Companies Take This Opportunity And Ordered Along Their Stocks. They Believe In Us. So By This Alone Especially In A Muslim World We Can Gain A Few Profits.
Like I Said Earlier Our Brunei Has It Flaws. We're Are Too Comfortable Which Become A Complacent Amongst Us Bruneian. And To Change That Mentality Itself Is Hard. In My Head I Have This Rambling That I Really Wanted To Type But I Can't Put It Into Words And More Importantly I Could Get Into Trouble. Hehehe
If You're Interested In Reading The Case Study Silakanlah Kelik Tuuu Study Aa. We Will Be Biased But Let's Us All Accept The Brutal Reality Of It. Lets Hope Too Our Future Generations Can Be A Progressive One. Let Also Hopes The Current Leaders Will Manage To Change The Old Bruneian Mentality Status Quo. Finding The Right Balance Between Having The Ability To Preserve Calak Brunei While At The Same Time Opening For New Possibilities. Let Us All Pray That Brunei Will Be The First Country That Can Proudly Showed Off That Shariah Law And Modernisation Can Harmonize Well. In Shaa Allah.
After Over 20 Years Sugar Bun Jalan Maulana Has Ceased Operation And Moved To Seria. There Is Also Another Branch In Kb Sentral Mall. I Must Say This Is The End To An Era. Those Times Where My Mates And I Walked From Uncle Hj Nawih House To Hear. Well It Was Less Than A Five Mins Walk. It Was So Close That We Can Smell Its Fried Chicken Aroma.
Long Gone The Time Where Awang, Win, Haz, Dini And Myself Walked Here For 3 Piece Chicken And Large Coke Then A Cup Of Ice Cream While Walking Home Before Our Football Game Every Evening.
How On Earth Can That Happen. Bloated From Food But Still Managed To Play Football Run Around And Do Not Feel Tired At All. Damn Teenager's Years! Should Have Start Lifting. I Won't Be As Fat As I Am Nowadays Haha.
Stop By To Take A Selfie. Haa Haa Haa Well I Did Said I Went To Check On The Site Earlier In My Post Right.
And I Find Out I Had One Fresh Zit On My Face. Bawah Mulut Damn It! Kes Malar Tidur Ahir Pasal My Game Saja Yth Tu Nah Hehe.
So Anyway. I Hoped You Enjoyed Reading My Drivel. Bear In Mind I Didn't Proof Read Because I Just Can't Be Bothered. So If There Are Any Grammatical Error Feel Free To Laugh At It. None Take Hehe
Til My Next Post.. Take Care Everyone!
