Very unfortunate that neither HM the Sultan nor his aides/ministers learn anything from visiting moderate and affluential countries, specially Oman.
Sultan Qaboos is a beacon of light that should be emulated by other Muslim leaders. The way he handles his relationship with the people, seeking advice, spending time with villagers, etc. This gives him the upper hand in all decisions concerning his country!
Most definitely, Brunei could use something like this as HM the Sultan seams "unrelated" to the realities of current Brunei as if he was living in a bubble or fantasy island meticulously prepared/constructed around him by his aides/ministers, etc.!
Very unfortunate!
