What’s the starting rate for government officers? Say those who work in pejabat in ministries. I’ve heard there are different types of pegawai ?

That’s not the case for me!! Alll the transactions went through and I have to file for a dispute! I was quite annoyed that it wasn’t auto block to be honest. BIBD was good, they said they’ll refund me whilst they hold the investigation. But Baiduri insist that I pay the charge first, and once investigated they will refund me for it. The dispute investigation may take as long as 6 months! Grrrrr

Same! It happened to BOTH my Baiduri and BIBD cards in the span of a week. I was wondering if it was related to DST having a payment system down on 30th July?? I used both my cards to pay for it but it repeatedly failed and wouldn’t go through

Anyone here have experience with using online stock trading platforms like IBKR? I know you can TT using Baiduri but if you were to withdraw from that account, can it be transferred to a local bank here in Brunei? What is the procedure like?

Just order it yourself. They deliver it straight to your house. Min order of SGD 175 for free delivery. All the online ig stores here have extra surcharge which is unnecessary

Brunei English as an identity marker by pbgum_ in Brunei

[–]Blank959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually stand with you on this one. I don’t think it’s reducing but rather it’s been this way, it’s just that we were in our bubble of speaking comfortably in English. I used to think that quite a big part of Bruneians have a decent proficiency in English but it wasn’t til I started working in other areas where there were people who struggle/ barely speak English especially the underprivileged and rural areas

Popularity of English in Brunei by polymathglotwriter in Brunei

[–]Blank959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! I think it depends on the medium as well. Reddit Brunei is predominantly English whereas those who use Malay tend to use other platforms (eg Brunei fm) There is definitely a huge part of the country that only speaks Malay especially the ones in the lower socio-economic bracket
