      @@reginaldscot165 About 3 years ago the Portuguese President was on the beach and saved 2 women who were in distress at sea. Many asked where his Bisyguards were. Nowhere, he doesn't need them. 2 weeks ago, Swiss Federal Councilor (Bundesrat) Alain Berset danced at the Streetparade with 920,000 visitors. Just google it.

    Just had this video highlighted to me. I remember doing a race from Kuala Belait to the National Stadium in BSB (125km) in 1993 as a celebration for his majesty's 47th birthday. I came second in the race and won the KOM challenge on my Merlin Titanium bike! 🙂 Still have the bike. Love the country!

    Sultan shmultan. He's a man. No better no worse than the rest of us. This idea of exalting a person for no reason other than his birth is ridiculous. True for Brunei. True for England. True universally.

      The title perhaps. But did you consider that he might be loved because he’s a good leader of his country and that he takes good care of his people? In fact I’d go as far as to say that I’d be willing to bet he’s a better leader than anyone that runs your country. Or mine for that matter! 😁

    What does respectful mean? He is a man who has been charged with crimes in the United States. Unfortunately, due to his immunity, he cannot be taken to court. He introduced Sharia law, and he lives frivolously himself. The stately income is mostly used for him, his family and the preservation of his power. We don't live in Brunei and just because we might hurt someone's feelings shouldn't we criticize it?
