"In Brunei, our system of government has lived through seven hundred years and our country has persevered through good governance. Albeit several types of governments that exist in the region, there is one system that links them all. It is complex and closely bound in its own very old history but, in English, it can be defined as a 'Social Contract'. Like all contracts in any system, if it's maintained, we all succeed. If it lapses, we all suffer. The government is responsibel in providing its people confidence for the future. For us, this means providing maximum healthcare to all, good education from early childhood onwards, easy personal access to government and its departments and agencies, the rule of law applying to everyone and respect for each individual, each family and each community, whatever their background, culture or faith."
NB. Brunei is een boeddhistisch land, telt maar 380.000 inwoners, maakte zich in 1956 los van het Britse Imperium en wordt sindsdien absoluut geregeerd door de schatrijke sultan, die met een vermogen van 20 miljard dollar een van de rijkste mannen ter wereld is.
