His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam has stressed the importance for rakyat and people in this country to be thankful for the bestowals from Allah the Al-Mighty and for bestowals that include peace, prosperity and well-being to be maintained. His Majesty was speaking to the nation over radio and television earlier this evening in conjunction with Brunei Darussalam’s 26th national day anniversary. His Majesty also spoke on the importance of consultation and preserving the environment while the country is intense in the midst of the process of development. The ruler also made a reference to the recently introduced regulations on credit card use. Touching on the theme of this year’s national day celebration “Negaraku Brunei Darussalam” or “My country, Brunei Darussalam”, His Majesty said it is not adequate to merely regard the theme as a means of instilling patriotism.

His Majesty Titah 1
More importantly, what our contribution is to perpetuate Allah’s bestowals to us and to our country. Patriotism is always viewed vaguely in the form of pledges and during celebrations. People seldom look into its deep secrets: that bestowals should be embraced with gratefulness and polished with pious deeds to Allah the Al-Mighty. Should these be done, only then will the bestowals perpetuate as promised by Allah the Al-Mighty. So, in conjunction with this historic moment, let us together be thankful and carry out pious acts. Besides these, we also need continued actions in that whatever has been planned must be implemented timely and should not merely remain as plans on paper. The key to all these is the way we implement these plans. Among the most effective means are consultations among relevant agencies. For example, when plans to build schools or mosques are delayed, land regulations or land not having gazetted are sometimes attributed as obstacles causing the delay. If this is the reason, does it not come from the government? By right, if the government so wants it, obviously such a problem should not be difficult. Nevertheless, delays still occur. Are we really serious or not? If the delay is at the junior level, is the senior level willing to discuss it together? This is our problem, and this is why the key performance indicators was established to be used as guidelines by all government agencies.
