Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
Brunei Darussalam occupies a sliver of land on the northwest coast of the island of Borneo with a geographical area of just 5765 km2 (Government of Brunei, 2004). It is divided into the four districts: Brunei-Muara, Temburong, Tutong and Belait. Two-thirds of the land is covered by lush tropical rainforest and the climate is perpetually warm and humid. It is ruled by Sultan Hassan Al-Bolkiah, the head of a dynasty which has governed Brunei for 650 years.
