[@ezwanmuhd7401]

1) law prohibit constructing private buildings of no more than certain height (that will be the approx height of SOAS mosque tower) 2) NATIONAL HOUSING SCHEME for locals were never built of no more than two storey house height. 3) locals who were hospitalize no matter how serious nor time taken they were treated, they only have to pay $1 for the registration only. 4) Worst traffic congestion only happen during go to work (6.30-8.30am) noon (11.30am-12.45pm) and after work (4.30pm-6pm). Other than that its either accidents or there is an event at bandar. Other than mention you can freely drive anywhere (dont forget to follow road law) 5) Road tax cost B$2.25 per 100cc

People are talking bad about Brunei is because they are butthurt that this country is steadfast in upholding the shariah law to prevent bad western influence such LGBT and recreational substance consumptions to be normalized in this country. Yes its not perfect but I applaud the Sultan for being a true Ruler in protecting his country in this day and age.

Hello from a Bruneian subscriber.. Thank you so much for the positive review regarding the visit to brunei Darussalam.. Much love from brunei Darussalam.. 👍😊♥️

[@user-vk6cm5zo9i]

Thank you for visiting Brunei! Honestly our public hospital has helped me so much, monthly medications for free and appointments being only $1! In other countries it could easily cost thousands per month. Also Brunei just feels very cozy and calming, just living here has lessen my stress and anxiety.

[@rcBorneo]

I was told that the Sultan will shake hand with all the guests during the Hari Raya open house at his Palace! Wow!

[@nina.kifrawi2412]

Yes he does except for the last three years due to Covid

[@hisdeb]

I'm actually Brunei. The people are great. The country is nice with a lot of nature. Very nice country.

[@darren3978]

Rice(Beras Wangi) is really really cheap here in Brunei too 😁 That’s why Nasi Katok can be sold for $1 here in Brunei! Not only that, alot of rice dishes are at really reasonable/cheap price compared to other countries. It is true that Brunei is a boring place just because it has not much entertainment BUT it is a really beautiful and peaceful country. Youngsters will definitely prefer foreign countries more. Brunei is definitely the best place to relax and enjoy once you decided to settle down.😁

[@eshoras]

I love Brunei mostly because people are not materialistic or plastic and everyone truely cares for their neighbour.... yep you can get a decent meal for a $1 ...😊

[@Red_John.]

The Drew Binsky guy basically just hate everything that doesn't go his way..

[@alfredharrison597]

hes a minecraft merchant, this is why.

[@ElektroMoog]

We looove our Sultan soo much... he and his late father Almarhum Begawan is the reason why Brunei is sooooo peaceful and such a calm place to raise a family 😊😊

[@ElektroMoog]

@Oriya Zero actually, if i'm not mistaken, it was not sold actually.. there was an agreement with the British Indian Company (maybe the name is not correct) for the helping hands to help Brunei achieved peace due to some issues.. the land were given as a gift or something... i did saw the documentary about it long time ago.. i think you can still search it on the net... after the British move out, Malaysia claims the land as there is no official reclaim by Brunei... the story went something like that...

[@Despotic_Waffle]

@@ElektroMoog The sultan of Brunei gifted the land to The White Rajah of Sarawak for help with defeating pirates

[@Lupercal1901]

@Oriya Zero Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien II, the 23rd Sultan of Brunei, gave some parts of Sarawak to James Brooke as a reward for helping to quell the rebellions there. As time goes by, the brooke family extend their influence by buying the lands from the Sultan, and also gettings someparts of it by threat, for example, Labuan. As for Sabah, the Sultan Abdul Momin, the 24th Sultan of Brunei signed a treaty to cede parts of Sabah with Count Von Overbeck in 1877, giving full sovereignty to the lands there.

When you ask people to visit Brunei "to learn about its oddities", it shows how much interest and respect you have to people's culture no matter the difference unlike some vloggers who quickly put the "hate" label on cultures. Much respect to both of you.

thank you for visiting brunei. Here we were born and raised as people who always pray for our sultan at every event. and this is fact no. 11 that I stated. with all the facts that you have mentioned everything is true and we are happy and grateful for it.

[@iffahrahaimi1646]

Love how you put traditional brunei song in your background 🥰💕 thank you for visiting Brunei 🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@DavidCheok]

If you think $5 for DART is expensive, wait till you really catch a taxi. They charge as high as $20-30 for a trip from the airport to the centre. Education is free in government/public schools all the way to University but there are very expensive private schools too. People like the $1 nasi katok because its cheap. The disposable income is pretty high compared to many countries but the salaries and cost of living is relatively low. All in all, we hope you are enjoying your visit here because the one very unique thing about Brunei is that the people are generally very close knit, interconnected and the underlying culture is that of an integrated community rather than a individual-centric society.

[@jamesherald7201]

Thank you for this ! More power!

[@quinnsmomlife]

Love ur content so much tq for coming to brunei

[@zaheerafie]

From 🇧🇳 here...I think some corrective information, high school students don't drive 😊 well, atleast for secondary students, as they're not allowed to bring cars and park inside school parking, but for Sixth form students, which is equivalent to senior high school students, they can, as they have their own seperate schools, and normally the 2nd years are made up of 18 years old and above. the driving law only allows people age 18 years old and above to drive and make driving license 😊 the reason why Dart or maybe other taxis are expensive, because they don't have enough customers to pay for their fuel and car loan and also extra income if they charge based on fuel price, so they have to hike up the price to quite high 🥲 and also, i think the reason why you weren't allowed to be infront of the gate of the palace is because too you were blocking the road when a member of the royal family or ministers try to come in or out from the gate 😂 because there is a specific parking there for tourists/people to have their vehicles to park so people can take photos from outside the gate 😊 unfortunately unlike other countries, the public is not allowed to enter the palace, maybe only a specific time during the year for certain people only...hope that helps 🤗🤗🤗

[@alfredharrison597]

The reason they probably have the palace closed off most of the time is because everyone in the Godsforsaken west is attacking Sultan and the country for not being "LGBT friendly", so I cannot blame them for being closed off. I would do exactly the same!

[@zaheerafie]

@@alfredharrison597 not really, the palace in UK, and even other countries where the royal families of other countries resides are closed off too actually, not just in Brunei, only for the more famous palace in UK, some parts of the palace are open for public displays. in Brunei, the palace is open to public at certain times of the year, just not throughout the year since its a residence not like a museum or display area, and when they're open, they're open to everyone, regardless of gender or religion.

I finally found a big youtuber with a good opinion on Brunei.

[@amxwarestudios]

Actually surprised that you used the traditional Brunei song Dang Mengalai for your background music! Its quite sad that the use of the Gulingtangan instrument is slowly dying. This video inspired me to stick to my roots, and bring more exposure to Gulingtangan. Edit: Just finished the video, petrol is cheaper than water lmao! Can smoke ciggs in public but a few meters away from public buildings, you can bring in alcohol (non-muslim) or ciggs from Miri or Limbang. No tax, free healthcare and education, $1 nasi katok, quite the savings Bruneians have but we spend it all travelling lol. That's the life.

[@Galahad-qs1vh]

Thank you for visiting Brunei Darussalam. Please do visit us again.😊

[@hanh825]

There's correction for cigarettes , in brunei you can buy unless you're 18 years old above.

[@drugabuser3445]

The reason why Public transportation isn't as convenient as other countries, it's because bruneian have their own cars themselves, plus the population is very small here. Only foreigners who have no vehicles to commute around relied on public transport. The public transport system in Brunei is very poor and very little has changed for the past 20+ years.

[@zaiemibrahim3025]

U're talking about Ron97 is B$0.53, but if u talk about Ron85 its cheaper only B$0.35 n the cheapest is Diesel where its only B$0.31 thats like 3 times cheaper than B$1 drinking water.
