Lately, there have been so many viral posts about Shell contractors in Brunei. From local workers allegedly being laid off due to cost-cutting, to salary cuts, and now reports about BSP not getting involved and no more contract rollovers.
If these reports about no rollovers are true, what will happen to the local workers whose contracts are coming to an end? Will more Bruneians be forced out of the oil and gas industry simply because companies want to reduce costs?
And what about LBD? Honestly, I wonder what actions are being taken to address these concerns and protect the interests of local workers. People deserve clear answers about their jobs and their future, not uncertainty about whether they will still have a source of income tomorrow.
Perhaps now we can understand why some Bruneian oil and gas workers are choosing to go to Australia to pick strawberries or take on other jobs outside their field. Sometimes, people are willing to leave everything they have built behind just to find better opportunities and a more secure future.
It's sad when people with years of experience, skills, and dedication to Brunei's oil and gas industry have to consider leaving the country because they are uncertain about their future.
Maybe it's time for more Bruneians to look beyond our borders and explore job opportunities overseas. Not because we don't love our country, but because we have bills to pay, families to support, and futures to secure.

ive noticed that this courier company has posted some interesting stuff on their status, including shaming the slightly slower people (to be nice) and its mostly when they send stickers like "hello from jifeetech" and then followed by "besuk delivery COD" and the customer replys with "bila delivery" and then the courier replies to the sticker saying "besuk delivery"
what do yall think? i find it funny ngl but i dont think that a professional courier company should be publicly posting their customers just because of a mistake
this is honestly so sad and embarrassing to see
we are only 2 months away from that shit they call "visit brunei 2027" and there's still no improvement on the country's public transportation??
yes I know there are taxis and darts available, but what about other days when they want to go somewhere else?? darts can be a bit expensive sometimes
My mom is already 70 years old. My dad passed away 5 years ago, and now it’s just me and my mom living in the house.
I have other siblings too, but all of them are married and have their own homes. I’m the youngest child, so people always assume I’m the anak bungsu, anak manja and all that. I’ve been told many times to “grow up” and that since I’m not married and don’t have any commitments, I should be the one taking care of my mom.
And honestly, I understand that. I don’t mind taking care of my mom. I already do most of it anyway. I help her with things around the house, cook for her, clean, pay the bills/utilities, and whatever else needs to be done. I’m not expecting my siblings to do everything for me.
But then my brother came back to stay with us.
For context, I have 6 siblings including me, 1 brother and the rest are sisters. My brother came back because he was having problems with his wife and eventually decided to divorce. I understand that he’s going through a difficult time, and I’m not angry that he’s staying with us.
What frustrates me is how he basically lives here like a free guest while I’m still expected to do everything.
I’m the one taking care of my mom, cleaning, cooking, dealing with bills and utilities, and basically handling the household. But my brother? He doesn’t really do anything.
And what makes me even more frustrated is how my mom treats him.
Whenever my brother is around, suddenly my mom will cook for him, prepare things for him, make sure he eats, etc. Basically, she treats him like a king.
I actually confronted my mom about it and asked her why she keeps doing everything for him. He has hands and legs. He can feed himself. Why does she need to cook for him every day?
Meanwhile, I don’t even let my mom cook for me. I’m usually the one cooking for her.
Her response was basically, “Kesian abang mu, ia stress tu. Ia sakit tu,” and yada yada yada.
And I get it. Maybe he really is stressed. Maybe he really is going through a difficult time. I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve sympathy.
But sometimes I wonder… what about me?
When it comes to me, I’m expected to be serious. I’m expected to be berakal. I’m the one who is supposed to understand everything because I’m the unmarried one who lives with my mom.
I’ve tried talking to my other siblings about this. I really have. But the response is usually, “Eh biar tia, memang macam atu perangai mama,” or they’ll listen and then not really say anything.
And I know they probably don’t know what to say. But it’s frustrating because they don’t actually experience what I experience.
They all have their own houses and their own lives. They can go home after visiting, while I’m the one who stays here every day. I’m the one dealing with the day-to-day stuff.
Sometimes it feels like everyone sees me as the one who can handle everything, so nobody thinks to ask whether I’m actually okay.
I’m not saying I hate taking care of my mom. I love my mom. I just wish sometimes someone would acknowledge that this is exhausting too.
I’m tired of always being the one who is expected to understand everyone else.

took 3 Ministers to launch this and i havent seen anyone using it even ONCE.
Brunei is all about that GLAMZ.
Owh, all these ministers on the picture is now being outcast. used to be on the news all the time. now? .........
I always love to chit chat with hotel employees. Some would want to to tell you how much they are making.
Bellman in a busy city would fetch at least 1.5K BND on tips alone! The general consensus is that they are making around 2k - 5k (salary + tips + incentives given by the hotel)
but fret not! Brunei METI and their Tourism Dept going to bring in "high valued tourists". These people are generous with their tips. Unless of course they are lying about these high valued tourists.
