Extractions: Dato Haji Hazair on Brunei Civil Service Dato Hj Hazair. "Brunei Darussalam is a Malay Muslim Monarchy whereby the Sultan is the Head of State and Chief Executive. The conduct of state affairs rests primarily on the basis of the constitution, law and legislation and an independent judiciary. "Brunei has a long history which stretches 600 years back to the first Sultan. Its civil service has functioned since then even though not in the current form that we see today. The modern civil service began after the Second World War. However, I will concentrate on the civil service as it is today which began with the independence of Brunei Darussalam on 23rd February 1984 and the introduction of a ministerial system of government. "The supreme executive authority of the government of Brunei is vested in His Majesty both as the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan and as Prime Minister, while administratively the executive functions of the Government are carried out by ministries and departments. Ministers head the ministries appointed by His Majesty. The number of ministries is 12 and some ministers head more than one ministry. Permanent Secretaries act as Chief Executive Officers of the ministries. Ministries have one or two Permanent Secretaries with the exception of the Prime Minister's Office. The Prime Minister's Office has 4 Permanent Secretaries. These are in turn assisted by Director-Generals, Directors and Heads of Departments.

Rather than aquaculture, enhancement and management of fishery resourcessea ranchingare expected to improve the sustainable utilization in mangrove areas. Target species for sea ranching in mangrove areas include mudcrab and black porgy . The mangrove situation in Southeast Asia is different from Japan's. To help countries in the region, the Japanese government has implemented a 5-year project with SEAFDEC that will develop mangrove-friendly aquaculture techniques and protect the environment. By Simeona Aypa , Department of Agriculture Santiago Baconguis , Department of Environment and Natural Resources Mangrove areas before the 1980s were considered vast tracks of wastelands that had to be developed into other uses. In 1967, there were 418, 990 ha of mangroves; 15 years later, 239,387 remained; today, only about 100,000 ha are left. There are many causes of this destruction. On top of the list is charcoal and firewood utilization, followed by the expansion of agricultural areas, fishponds, urban and industrial development, harbor construction, mining and housing projects. With the rise in human population comes the demand for agriculture, aquaculture and industrial development.

He was speaking at the state banquet hosted in his honour by the Sultan of Brunei at the Royal Palace here Saturday. He said with sincerity, flexibility and commitment, both Islamabad and New Delhi could settle their problems and begin a new era of durable peace that alone could ensure the welfare and bright future for peoples of South Asia. The prime minister said he greatly valued the views of the Sultan of Brunei on the regional and international issues, especially on the challenges faced by the Islamic world. He said it was imperative to revitalise the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) and there was a need for launching a concerted effort to address the problems that have long inflicted pain and suffering on Islamic societies. "We need to project the correct image of Islam that stands for peace, tolerance and compassion. At the same time, reforms are required within the societies for modernisation and socio-economic development. This is also essence of the concept of enlightened moderation presented by President Pervez Musharraf," he said.
