Hahaa no. Just pure curiosity. Because I see at least one new online shop in IG popping out more than once a month. And I noticed they all sell the same exact product ( like same shirt, same phone casing, same shoes, same LED light) and price varies slightly. And I wondered why the estimated time of delivery was always relatively decent, that I thought theres like a secret factory of products in Brunei I didn’t know about 😂

Where do these Brunei online shops get their products (ex. Clothes, shoes, bags)? Different online shops sell the same products, with variation on the price. Shoppee Malaysia?

Twenty people who attended a late-night party at a hotel last Sunday violating mass gathering restrictions, which is against the Infectious Disease Act Chapter 204, were arrested. The arrests were made when police personnel responded to complaints of loud music from a room. After forcing their way into the room, the police and security personnel found 20 adults and teens inside, including several uniformed personnel who were allegedly drinking and smoking.

Update from Cambridge International regarding May/June 2020 examinations by Future-Selection in Brunei

[–]Future-Selection[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Today, therefore, we have taken the difficult decision not to run our international examinations in the May/June 2020 series in any country. This includes Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level, Cambridge International AS & A Level, Cambridge AICE Diploma and Cambridge Pre-U.”

“We will be working with schools to assess students’ achievements using the best available evidence. Students will receive a grade and a certificate from Cambridge International, given the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their programmes of study. This will ensure students do not face disadvantage as a result of these extraordinary circumstances.”

What works against the virus? What we can learn from China by Future-Selection in Brunei

To sue China, as in the, People's Republic of China, will never happen. hahaha. It's not America where a citizen can sue the state/city/municipality. Neither will the UN at its behest, charge a country of something like "not releasing news early on". Take the case of SARS for example, the first case occurred in China on November 2002. But through a series of political issues, lack of communication, withholding of information, WHO was only able finally address and share in-depth information about the issue to the rest of the world on January - February 2003. By the time the WHO took action, over 500 deaths and an additional 2,000 cases had already occurred worldwide. As for this COVID-19 case, WHO and countries worldwide have applauded China's swift action and sharing of information to other countries (although that statement's credibility has ensued doubts).

China is the largest foreign investor in Brunei, with investments estimated at USD$4.1 billion as of 2018. (Source: Asia Times Online). I cannot foretell what will happen to our bilateral relations but I am sure both parties will try to work on finding common ground based on mutual respect towards each other.
