It is a small, peaceful, prosperous kingdom on the northern<br />

shore of the ecologically-rich island of Borneo. Come and<br />

<strong>Brunei</strong> is arguably best known today as an oil producing<br />

country. The nation became independent in 1984 and,<br />

thanks to its large reserves of oil and gas, now has one of the<br />

highest standards of living in the world. Its population is just<br />

over 370,000, made up of two-thirds ethnic Malay, with the<br />

remainder being Chinese, Indian and other indigenous groups.<br />

The Sultanate has four districts: <strong>Brunei</strong>-Muara (which includes<br />

the capital Bandar Seri Begawan), Temburong, Tutong and<br />

Belait. ‘Darussalam’, the Arabic word for ‘Abode of Peace’<br />

describes <strong>Brunei</strong>’s Islamic history that dates back some 1,500<br />

years. Today, <strong>Brunei</strong> remains the world’s only Malay Islamic<br />

Monarchy with an unbroken royal lineage that has ruled the<br />

nation for the past 600 years.<br />
