redstone September 10th, 2004, 04:21 PM Ironic for a rich country, it has very few highrises.
baqthier September 10th, 2004, 04:57 PM huh? I did mention in the other thread that the country only has 340,000 people and 66,000 in the capital. And to make it worse for skyscraper fans, the country has low density and don't get that many tourists which means very few hotel buildings. It's rich because of the low population compared to the GDP which mainly are generated from oil and gas. BTW, the city has a 120m tall skyscraper..not so bad after all..;) And richness doesn't necessary equate to scrapercentric. There are some rich european countries which have a way bigger population that don't favour hi-rises ;)
redstone September 11th, 2004, 02:44 AM Does it has those ornate shophouses like those in S'pore and M'sia?
I think it should advertise itself more.Be the next Dubai.
cinemawatcher April 29th, 2005, 02:19 AM the DST building is my favorite...

Obuyama August 6th, 2012, 12:58 PM Hullo, everybody! Is there any trade web portals of Brunei?
embassyofaudrey September 28th, 2012, 11:50 AM their sultan have hundred luxury car..
BDS November 28th, 2012, 07:27 AM Ironic for a rich country, it has very few highrises.
They don't have much highrise building as majority of Bruneians works for either the gov or BSP, and others for service industry, quit a small SME very very few of them. Since the cars are tax free, and country is tax free as well, petrol is 0.60 cents (Malaysian), most of the food is heavily subsidies, don't see the reason for highrise. Housing is free if u cant afford it. Most of the shopping is done in Miri either in KK. Most people can afford for overseas vacation and education. Most Bruneians are well paid and very much benefited by the gov. Its a clean and very much beautiful and low crime country.
their sultan have hundred luxury car..
If u are in brunei don't talk about what the royal family have, they find insulting and disrespectful. If u have a official meeting with a Bruneian , don't use fault language they wont like at all. Overall people are well educated and polite as well.
Does it has those ornate shophouses like those in S'pore and M'sia?

No they don't have those shop houses like in Singapore and Malaysia, a rich country with a low profile. I don't think they have any colonization before, so not much of a heritage.

They get some decent tourism especially on Eco-tourism , although being small. There is no deforestation, and never seen timber like industry there. They as well, accept Singaporean currency on few places. Enforcement are strict especially on alcohol so u don't mess with they laws.
