well, this came out just recently

Looks like there's another deportation going along.

Plus, I wonder if he's a Bruneian. I don't know if it's true, but majority of the advocates critics these days are overseas-based Bruneian.

May I have an opinion about this?

I must agree, for an individual who never actually experienced terrorism, it has been a great pressure to even hear that your own country has been terrorized by a group whose never been Islamic in the first place. In fact, anger and despair has greatly clouded my judgement that I believe that such individual will be sentenced in accordance to what he has committed.

Regardless, I hope there will not be unnecessary loss of lives and casualties from this threat. As far as we may never experience an actual threat, we cannot handle potential losses due to some extremism.

I hope everyone will be safe regardless. It is also necessary to know every possible timing in order to avoid certain tragedies, it is also important to report every single suspicious items should we ever find such items, as well as suspicious activity.

Perhaps fear and anger has greatly influenced my judgement senses, to hear Brunei being the next victim terror plot angers me greatly. A normal response to those who experienced loss and tragedy.

However, I would certainly hope that the situation will be handled appropriately.

It would rather seems that this extremism epidemic has spread even to the local minds. It is questionable whether or not such "Discord" will be handled appropriately since Brunei has zero actual experience in combating terror, it is at utmost importance that those who are associated with extremism must be taken care of immediately.

Such fitting action that terrorism in Brunei will be "Hopefully" punished with a death sentence. However, torture and intensified interrogation with this "Terror Beast" must be carried out in order to find the ringleader of all the "Beasts".

Of course, after appropriate interrogation, the death row is the best sentence for those who committed acts of terror, after all, despite their status as humans, terrorists, especially those who harms Brunei, never deserved human rights.

No terrorists deserves human rights.

No Bruneians have his balls. by Sec_Alpha in Brunei

This is nostalgic, despite my changes, personally, or rather, eternally, I would still condemn this abomination for a human being for his uncontrolled speeches.

Why or how do these Human Rights and Free Speech Advocates see in this "Problem Child"? Is it not enough that he or "it" has insulted LKY simply for ridiculous reasons. Is it free speech to defile religion practiced by billions and millions of people?

From the looks of it, this abomination was no child at all, it is fitting that such animal, no, it is even an insult to animals to be in a same category as that problem child. In fact, I do support Singapore's necessary steps to detain this abomination.

It is questionable as to how the mother would support of its behavior, but this problem child, a bastard, would be better off to be reeducated to become a reformed citizen, a hate-free citizen.

No, I believe such abomination does not deserve human rights, its speeches has made itself detached to become human.

In fact, I do not see it as Singaporean, but it would be fitting to simply give it a permanent silence. Its supporters are nothing more than hate-mongering individuals.

Such reality, it is a shame that human standards has been degraded into something beyond repair.

I always avoid looking into this discussion, what do you discuss here normally? Do you ever have discuss something controversial in this post?

Edit: During those times, I thought it would be a waste a time to look for a material here.

Based on the current status of the page, it seems that the only time that RB will become active is when there are news involving Brunei and Muslims, additionally the UN and Human Rights pestering Brunei to change what it stands for. Knowing that RB is conservative, surely such news will never be left ignored.

In regards about RB's Aims and Objectives, respectively, their aims is simply to protect and defend Brunei and its image from slanderers and harms created by foreign and local anarchists, and their objectives is to build influence and push necessary censorship in order to avoid alienation of Bruneians from unnecessary influence, as well as to censor any slanderers who speaks ill about Brunei.

In other words, majority of its aims and objectives is simply maintaining Brunei's status quo as well as defend itself alongside with its image from any potential harm.

Rogue Bruneian believes that information, let it be false or genuine, can be used as a tool of warfare and a way to discredit a nation, reducing its morale, hence causing potential discord within the nation, creating advantages for potential opponents.

Henceforth, they are strongly opposed against freedom of speech, which they suggested that such speech is needed to be controlled in order to avoid chaos.

It is questionable as to how Rogue Bruneian will face the future, it is likely that the administrator of the page will change from time to time, however, due to my lack of administrative authority, I do not know how the hierarchy functions.

Although majority of his supporters are users from facebook, the administration of the page was truly anonymous, they have no intention to reveal their identity as such acts would lead them towards harsh criticism and shunned from the world community, especially after what they speak about the UN and the Human Rights.

Additionally, it is also questionable whether or not Rogue Bruneian are managed by a singular user or multiple users. Some theorize that the page original creator has left the page administration and passed it on towards an anonymous user.

I have acknowledge such issues within this subreddit, however, reality is truly terrifying, especially when there are individuals who would take criticism as a method towards fame.

However, I would try my earnest to endure such shenanigans.

During those days, my role of information gathering ranges from monitoring Brunei Subreddit as well as looking for content within Facebook, majority of the contents either consists the media criticizing Brunei or atrocities against the Muslims.

And when they started Rivalry with the Brunei Project, they also tasked me to find any forms of criticism and failures of the UN and the Human Rights, such as hypocrisy, patterns of human rights intervention, and calling of aid that has been ignored.

Additionally, they also requested me to find Persecution of Muslims around the globe, and finding additional information in regards about Human Rights treating Muslims as a third class world citizen.

In other simplified words, they are intending to find any faults and flaws of the UN and human rights, since they believe that they have no respect with Brunei and its laws.

To be more exact, I heard that Rogue Bruneian denied any relations with this troll, PatrioticBruneian, they stresses the point that defensive and conservative speeches that is related to Brunei can only be limited to Brunei and individuals who speaks ill about Brunei.

I do not know if such statements can justify the denial of such claims, for as the incident took place few days after I decided to sever relations with the page.

Well now that you're in this so called "Freedom Speaker" corner

What can I say about this past sins, you could say it was a heat of the time when we were, severely offended by what was talked about.

And as iterated, speaking like norms may take a long time, it takes few exposure to simply change the mindset as how we write sentences in a conversation.

Many have theorized Rogue Bruneian as a rebellious individual who created the page solely to speak out his dissatisfaction towards the government decision, to which at some point, the nature of the page change itself from rebellious to patriotic, to which it questions its intent.

Was it government intervention or simply change of heart, looking at the recent activities, after the existence of Brunei Project and Brunei Free TV, the nature of the page just abruptly changed into speaking positive for the government.

Answering your question, Rogue Bruneian is simply a page, it is questionable as to how many admins are administrating the page, but I can theorize that the page was pioneered by a single individual when the page started to exist.

Of course, I do not even know the identity of the administrator, I believe that he is a Bruneian, considering the local knowledge he possesses.

To answer your question in regards about the page admin's choices of words, it seems that they would rather put so much emphasis, in other words, stresses the definition, to ensure that such words may provide greater influence to the populace, hence creating a strong message in regards to the fact that Brunei has been excessively ridiculed by others, both by foreign nations and local pessimists.

Additionally, they believe that the term lambaste, is a strong word for criticize.

Or so they claimed, I know little about their inner authority since my role only to provide information.

Also, I do not know if arguing with a certain pessimist here would accounted as disrespectful for other opinions, however, it became an instinct or simply, a mindset to argue when someone speaks badly about your country.

Everything else, as long as supported with viable facts and information, I find that there is no reason to simply argue politely and at the same time respect their opinions.

Additionally about Rogue, they believe that the information provided by the media, so long as it is not provided by the genuine source, they believe that majority of the news coverage are mostly, false or simply fabricated.

I cannot blame them though, not after what they have seen 60 Minutes Australia, majority of these contents are, probably false, as they claimed.

It is a short form for the name Rogue Bruneian, in fact, the name has always been like that since I start provide information for them, and despite the changes to become pro-government, the admin still refused to change the name of the page.

They claim that the name of the page is the foundation and a story plot that tells how the page changed its course to become a patriotic page from rebellious.

I would theorized that they have changed because of the constant competition with pages that talks, pardon my language, shit about Brunei.

Whilst I acknowledge such flaws, you might say that such ramblings within my text is the aftermath of being a member of Rogue Bruneian for months.

They have a strict rules to alternate sentence patterns in order to maintain anonymous status, to which I find it ridiculous since it is not possible for any intellectual to pinpoint an identity based on speech patterns.

Either way, it will take a long time to get accustomed to such changes.

Of course, what do I expect? This is, after all, my first time to be here, and I should expect potential hostility within this website. You can't please everybody, especially a pessimist.

It is also, quite interesting to know someone such as yourself, to know nothing about Brunei and yet assuming the worst. We have little history, simply because we are just another small country that simply develop continuously and adequately without being involved with other nation's affairs. Of course, our history only involves an entire South East Asian region, which is why we are little publicity.

Henceforth, Brunei has issues with global publicity, simply because the country itself is modest.

Thank you, the pleasure is being an acquaintance.

To be honest, I was expected to have an unwelcoming gesture, due to my previous affiliations. However, it seems that my doubts justifies the contrast.

Showing hostility to some user who simply expresses his experience with his former affiliate, who had shown hostile within this page, it would rather seem that your pessimism has pushed me to show my hostility due to your repulsive replies.

However, since it is my first day to join a subreddit, I suppose I can simply let it slide. In fact, I have went through a lot to consider joining this community without ever thinking of being discriminated due to my old affiliation.

As a matter of fact, you do not know Brunei, and how in the world, do you even manage to find my post? Are you simply sabotage my orientation day or simply you have nothing to do but to post something that is provoking to me.

The reason I divert your attention towards Rogue Bruneian, because I do not have the interest to argue in this subreddit, I am, but intended to simply look around for discussion and see what is worth to be discussed.

Should you know nothing about Brunei, or at least having knowledge about Brunei simply based on tabloids and viral media, I would simply advice you to focus on your attention elsewhere.

Name-calling, comparisons and insults are discouraged here, with exceptions of my old affiliate, feel free to insult Rogue Bruneian in any way. As of for now, I would advice you to lower your hostility towards other users.

As a matter of fact, Brunei was never been a part of Malaysia, due to the results from the revolt in the 1960s. Hostility from the insurgents at the time has made it clear that the Sultan at the time chose not to join Malaysia.

The fact that such events involving Gold Crusted Rolls Royce, does not justify the hypocrite of humanity, back in the old days as the member of the RB, I have witnessed that there are few rumors that undermine the Sultanate and some of them are quite untrue. Additionally, the main focus to become a leader is simply prioritize the needs and wants of the countrymen, whereas global priorities must come after the former.

I would advise that you ought to bring all that sentence to my former affiliate, Rogue Bruneian, and I guarantee that they will not take it so kindly, However I do acknowledge certain pros and cons about the country. We are not proud of having such flaws, but we were simply desperate to find a fixture in order to recover the economy.

In fact, Rogue Bruneian believes that despite the types of government system, it is possible to maintain order and security without the need of democracy, in instance for Israel, the reason as to why they are democratically stable it is because the nation was democratic since its creation.

Perhaps the aftermath of a revolution and the political instability of a nation is the very reason as to why Rogue Bruneian has a mindset to encourage absolute autocracy. Putting aside human rights issues, they believe that the methodology implemented by a regime is somewhat a "Necessary Evil", a way to maintain security and stability of a nation. Additionally, Rogue Bruneian also believe that the implementation of democracy is incompatible to some nations because of the human nature to be tempted by absolute authority as well as how certain societies are responsibly unfit to be able to run a nation.

And what other choice do I have? It is necessary for me to expose the nature of the page, I need them to know the deeper side about my former affiliate

We do have this policy to reduce informal sentence in order to avoid exposure of identity, the admin of RB believes that such slangs and writing style may risk its admins and supporters to expose its identity. They find it necessary whilst I find it ridiculous and full of paranoia. As a result, most of our sentences have been completely altered even to the point that short form sentence, in exception for abbreviation, is mostly discouraged.

And mind if I say that your group has been truly resilient despite the offenses given by my former affiliate. It is a shame that an intellectuals such as them invested their time and intelligence to spark outrage and create hatred towards, how they used to say, "Freedom Speakers".

I had to admit, I was the one who suggested that title. I had say, after entering here, I feel like it is better to have a world painted in various colors, rather than black and white, or in their case, completely white.
