Alfie, who is the lady sitting before HRH Nor'ichsani in Majelis Persantapan Bagi Pegawai Brunei Form, is she Amal Jeffria or Amal Nasibah ? If you don't mind I'll ask you : Are you in Ring 1, 2 or 3 because you know all the details, suppose you don't want to answer this question it's ok and thank you. Maybe someday we will "copy darat" !

It seems Im not the only one who missed seeing the elegant Datin Faezah at the birthday festivities. I haven't seen any pictures of her in months and was looking forward to her appearance at the Sultan's birthday celebrations.

the two ladies in the front are the Sultan's sisters, Princess Umi Kalsum and Princess Masna. I've forgotten the name of the elder lady in the glasses. Perhaps someone else could help

Is this perhaps one of Sultan's brothers and his wife?

Yes that's Prince Muhammad, the Sultan's brother in the middle, and next to him is his wife Princess Zariah, who is also Queen Saleha's sister.
