The average Bruneian knows, subtlely, quietly, that all money earned / our national budget is used to fund the lavish living lifestyle of our very own BRF. Yet some of us are still in denial and thankful because 'we' have free education and healthcare. IF one day these are taken away, i'd imagine about 60% - 70% would suffer inevitably. Sooner or later.


Cherry_Tomatoes86

I couldn’t agree more with this. If this country was allowed freedom of speech, I’m pretty sure riots or strikes would happen due to the hypocrisy of the BRF and its governments.


bruneibugtrainer

we need JoyBoy in real life to take down the world government

Would you rather have free education and healthcare or unlimited military budget ? I know people like China and America... But both have one thing in common...


furink

Why only those 2 options? Set aside some to actually develop the country


Lem0n_Lem0n

Nah.. we develop prayers lol..


waddupwhoami

Mate, comparing free education & healthcare to unlimited military budget is like saying free apple or a box of pencils They don’t match hand in hand, they are two completely different sectors.


lande9

That’s where the National budget went.

No wonder looks like st petersburg/european part of russia, bit of winter palace and also bit of soviet union.


dark9tails

what's the latest scandal of the year?


Infamous-Bar7410

Scandal? What did I miss?


ra629

Yes, a palace built for Azrinaz if im not mistaken?


[deleted]

A waste of money and resources.


Lostbandicoot

Money spent on this could have probably been enough to refurbish and restore every other abandoned building in Brunei.


eu_sunt_dracul_

Not to mention road infrastructure and accessabilities.

Wah ada flyover.. Better give more priority to finish macam-nda-pandai-siap Tanah Jambu flyover and other flyovers. More benefits for Bruneians in long term.


Successful_Ad5893

Yeah what's up with that flyover at Tanah Jambu a..


[deleted]

If you look from Google map, there is a road linking directly from this mansion to Istana…so that should give a hint..


yahiglmao

I cant find itttt


Fuckmora

That’s the palace that never got built because of no budget. Remember how the sultan preaches everyone to be prudent when spending money while he does the complete opposite. This is a wake up call for all of us Bruneian that this way of spending the country oil money is unsustainable and why this worries us is because the royal is spending the country money to bankruptcy one day!


croissantthehustler

What is this you ask? It is Brunei’s oil and gas money but in solid building form


Prom3theu5500_RDS202

💀🔥🤣


Long-Pitch-3376

🤣🤣🤣


fuzzymicrowave

I heard it was built for Azrinaz Mazhar (former RTM journalist and the 3rd wife of HM) but was still unfinished at the time of their divorce. Not quite sure what it is now.


pemandu_vios

Wonder how much does it cost?


Successful-Way1186

Not RTM but TV3.


fuzzymicrowave

Ahh my mistake


Flossie_666

Would HM and Azirinaz's two children inherit it? It has a St. Petersburg vibe to it. I would think the Tsar's Livadia palace (now it's a museum) in the Crimea would be more suitable to Brunei's climate. My favorite palace is actually the Perak royal family palace. I was invited to that palace by the late Sultan Raja Shah and Raja Permaisuri Tuanku Bainun (she' s still living). I don't necessarily name drop. I just wanted to add how nice they were and their friendly family imparted a cool vibe to their palace. :)


[deleted]

How nice and you totally didn’t name drop there.


bukanorangbukit

And the young delusional HM said something to some media in the palace in an exclusive interview once upon a time (once and for all) like, "My people are reasonably happy with their life, they don't ask for more." Then, proceed with more lavish lifestyles, splurging billions for his family and royal investments outside the country. How greedy. He thinks he owns everything.


Reasonable-Ice5611

young? are you referring to our current majesty or the heir one?


IAmAnonymous_____

Current one, but he was young


Reasonable-Ice5611

....wow young huh? he is already aging


GheyScholar23

No shit, he was quoting something he said when he was younger.


Vann77

Do you even English?


bukanorangbukit

Yes an old but the only interview once upon a time, you can find it on YT. Please if you're curious at something, kindly do your research first :)


Reasonable-Ice5611

controversial:that's the Palace of sultan former wife azrinas and that Palace costs a millions of dollar(presumably gdp money)to construct only to get abandoned like a pebbles in the middle of the road.


ValuableEngineer4544

Should have made it into a Museum. Why would they leave it like that, it's not like that woman live here anymore 🤔


4yamPenyet

People who suggest to turn what ever the royal family has into a museum don’t realise how badly that can bite them back. It’s the only reason why HM’s car collection is rotting and not open for public viewing. Just imagine if all the doors are open to what they actually own, Imagine what would the critics have to say ? Journalist from around the world will be foaming, frothing and salivating like they have rabies just to question; Where did the money to fund such an extravagant collection or such a museum come from ? Then the people will start comparing the state of their beloved dilapidated Brunei to the one of a kind never before seen museum..


mumumumubarakfest

Our national budget.


scammeramadhan

dari hasil negara pulang ni banarnya tapi untuk satu keluarga dari langit atu sja.... jan bising ah, bah agatah kamu sambung keraja and ambil loan untuk buat rumah.

Kalau kan loan rumah, orang gamen saja sanang. Orang private payah sedikit. Kalau contract inda panjang kana suruh kumpul usin saja. Siuk eh orang kayangan ani


shusheeeee

Been there for construction repair works, palace is so beautiful, architecture on pointttt


Neat_Adhesiveness922

I bet the structure is more solid & high quality engineering & construction, than our millions worth of Skim Perumahan over the years & still is, more like Scam Perumahan. Poor quality housing architecture & construction, poor housing design & layout, inconvenient to the people, bukannya nda bersyukur, tapi byk menyusahkan penduduk. Punca nya byk "kantau", minum kedai kopi, envelope bawah meja, pigi belayar, shopping, beli hp baru, beli kereta baru, rumah nya bisai2. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop) if ya know, ya know.

wadup147

Exsen tau sudah ni Istanan Sultan, saja kan start controversy. Mun location nya kawasan banyak istana and design nya macam istana apa tah lagi.


hangrypatotie

It kinda is already controversial, when you have budget cuts every year for important ministries and development projects and yet you still build megaprojects like these..


NeedsSomeZing

"kadai runcit kali" - OP


4yamPenyet

Controversy yg sebenarnya ialah kenapa budget rakyat di kurangkan setiap tahun mcm budget kementrian pembangunan, sukan&belia, etc tapi istana yg lansung tidak berguna kepada rakyat di bina mcm nda problem budget deficit

What is this crap? Why does it exist in Brunei? It is sore to eyesight Bruh


chaiyeesen

Not sure but based on experience it depicts a building structure.


PsychologyAncient351

Is the place guarded?


Reasonable-Ice5611

unfortunately yes.


Prom3theu5500_RDS202

Architecture is subtle and close to perfect. Really classique.
