The Legislative Council Brunei that will reconvene tomorrow, Saturday, can trace its history back nearly five decades ago. At the helm of its creation was Almarhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien, who ascended the throne as Brunei's 28th ruler at the mature age of 35 and was also Brunei's first foreign-educated Sultan. In June of 1950, Brunei was already fast becoming known as a major oil producing country and well on its way to being a super rich state, and he was determined to use these revenues to advance his country socially, politically and economically and by the same measure pursue steps to achieve self-government, to which he would later be rightfully dubbed as the architect of modern Brunei. His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei, remarked in a titah in 1996, that Brunei is a new nation but an ancient country.

Brunei Time and Date Brunei History Back to Top Historians believe there was a antecedent to the present Brunei Sultanate. Chinese records suggest that this ancient trading kingdom existed at the mouth of the Brunei River as early as the 7th century A.D. This early kingdom was apparently defeated by the Sumatran Hindu empire of Srivijaya in the early 9th century, which later controlled northern Borneo and the Philippines. It was defeated briefly by the Java-based Majapahit Empire but soon regained its freedom and once again rose to prominence. In 1967, Sultan Omar renounced in favor of his eldest son, Hassanal Bolkiah, who became the 29th ruler. The former Sultan remained as Defense Minister and assumed the royal title Seri Begawan. In 1970, the national capital, Brunei Town, was renamed Bandar Seri Begawan in his honor. The Seri Begawan died in 1986. On January 4, 1979, Brunei and the United Kingdom signed a new treaty of friendship and cooperation. On January 1, 1984, Brunei Darussalam became a fully independent state.
