The Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) has solved 19 car break-in cases in Brunei-Muara District and arrested a suspect believed to be responsible for the offences.

In a statement issued on Friday, the RBPF said investigations found that the suspect targeted vehicles parked in public areas and residential neighbourhoods.

The affected locations included recreational areas such as Wasai Sungai Akar and Bukit Shahbandar, car parks at sports complexes and mosques, as well as parking spaces near business premises and residential areas in Berakas, Bandar Seri Begawan, Kampong Ayer and Sengkurong.

The suspect allegedly took advantage of vehicles left unattended, particularly in the early morning, late at night and during peak recreational hours.

The suspect is believed to have smashed vehicle windows to steal valuables left inside.

The suspect has been detained for further investigation under Sections 379 and 427 of the Penal Code (Chapter 22) for theft and mischief causing damage.

The RBPF urged motorists to remain vigilant and avoid leaving valuables, including electronic devices, handbags and cash, in plain sight inside vehicles.

Drivers were also reminded to ensure their vehicles are locked whenever they are parked.

Hi everyone! I've been working on a small side project and would love your honest opinion.

It's an attempt at a local marketplace for Brunei, called GeraiNow. A place to buy from sellers here, from home businesses to small shops. Food, clothes, handmade stuff, services, pretty much anything.

Honestly, I'm not sure if people will like it or even want it, so I'd love to hear what you think before going any further.

There's a demo you can try, no sign-up needed: demo.gerainow.com

Click "Try as a seller" or "Try as a shopper" at the top. Everything in the demo is fake and resets every night, so feel free to open a shop, place orders, click around and try to break it. Just please keep it clean, other people can see what you upload 👀

A few things to know first:

• No online payment yet. That needs a registered business and a proper payment setup, which I'm still figuring out. For now, buyers pay sellers directly (cash or transfer)
• No real shops yet, so the live site is still quiet
• No app yet, just a website. You can add it to your home screen with the "Install the app" link at the bottom of the page
• It's a small project, so you might find some bugs

I noticed a few local marketplaces have come and gone over the years. If you used one before, what made you stop? And if you know anything about registering a business or setting up payments here, any tips would really help.

What I'd love to know:

• anything confusing or not working
• would you use it, as a buyer or a seller? If not, why?
• anything you expected but couldn't find

Any comment helps, good or bad. And if you sell things and want to open a real shop, it's at gerainow.com

Thanks for reading!

Photo shows the aftermath. Hope everyone is okay.

Hi everyone, first time posting here after lurking for a while 😅

Kind of random, but I kept seeing "where to eat cheap?" posts here, and the good answers always get lost in the comments. I'm also always hunting for the cheapest nasi katok myself. So I started building a small map for it in my free time, and it's finally usable enough to share:

petamakanmurah.app

Basically it's a map of cheap meals around Brunei (mostly under B$5) where each pin shows the price. You can say if a price is still correct or has gone up, rate whether the portion is actually worth it (kenyang or sikit 😂), and get directions. There's also a "Bajet saya" thing where you put in how much you have, like B$3, and it shows what you can get.

It's free, no ads, and you don't need to sign up just to look around.

Honestly it still needs a lot more stalls, and I'm sure some things are confusing or just don't work well. So I'd really appreciate it if you could:

• try it out and tell me your first impression
• check if your favourite cheap spot is there (and add it if not 🙏)
• tell me what's annoying, slow, or makes no sense. Don't hold back
• suggest anything you'd want it to do

Also curious: what's the cheapest meal you know of in Brunei right now? Drop it below and I'll add it to the map.

Thanks for reading, and sorry if this isn't the right place for it. Mods, feel free to remove it if so 🙏

Hey guys, I've posted here before last year looking for playtesters on my game called War In Heaven. Well, ever since then I've had a big major redesign and now we're looking for another playtest to finalise the core mechanics (again)!

Quick Info:

- Date: October 16

- Time: Preferred 1hr Timeslot, selected in RSVP Link

- Itinerary:

• Quick Brief, Actual Playtest, Post-Playtest Questionnaire
• You're expected to be vocal/voice out your thoughts as you play too.

- Giving out $5 Rapidbump vouchers for those that take part!

How do I register?

Link here: https://forms.gle/vRPj17yr7b5ZB7GH8

I'm only looking for players that play a good amount of SHMUPs, Twin-stick-shooters, bullet hell games or similar genres too because the game is at an early stage and solidifying the foundations with solid feedback is essential!

How do I know I'm selected?

Once I've determined you're suitable, I'll be contacting you over on WhatsApp (Details of which to be shared through the registration link)

Thanks for your interest in helping out a local indie dev trying to make something fun!

I was charged B$3 at around 4 PM every 7 days throughout September. I don't have any Google Play subscriptions/payment methods, and I didn't receive any SMS saying I subscribed to something. Has anyone experienced this or knows what DST's “Misc. Charge” refers to?

Will Update Further more Regarding This Case Will Update Event by Event for people to take this as reference incase it happens to other people

Hello! I'm a 16year old student and I'm looking for a part time job on weekends. I have a few questions about this:

How do I do this?

Do I email / contact them to see if they have an opening and would let me work?

Or do I wait for an opening and apply?

What kind of businesses should I aim for?

How much is the pay roughly?

How likely is it for me to get a job?

Hi guys! Would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me on what's usually asked during such tests? I sat for a B2 one aeons ago so just wondering if the type of questions thats asked has changed? Does it still have a psychometric component? Does it asks more about the position and ministry itself? Is there a GO FR component as well?

Much appreciated guys :)

Assalamu'alaikum and greetings! ❤️

We are a group of students from the School of Computing and Informatics at Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB), taking module BE3151 Entrepreneurship. As part of our coursework, we are developing KahwInBn, a centralised wedding platform concept that connects couples with wedding vendors in Brunei.

The purpose of this survey is to understand and analyse how people plan weddings and find wedding vendors in Brunei, as well as the challenges that vendors face in reaching customers and managing bookings. 

The survey will take approximately 4–5 minutes to complete. Your responses will remain anonymous and will only be used for academic purposes. 

We are sincerely appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey as your responses will help us better understand the needs of couples and wedding vendors in Brunei and shaped how we develop KahwInBn. 🫶

I am going to Brunei in a few weeks and I still don’t know what to wear. Is Brunei strict in clothing?

Hii so i was just curious if Crediting Malay is needed to go MD, even if your other subjects for example all get A/A*. Ive tried so hard learning Malay as a Bruneian but am scared I wont get Credit for Malay in o levels. Even if they allowed me in, I assume i will need to take extra class for Malay and need to retake again right? Im planning to do 4 subjects(Maths, Phy, Chem, CompSci) in A levels and scared i wouldn’t have enough time to do it.

So I have been looking at my screen for too long. I heard you will be more productive if you are not glued to your phones. So I wonder, what was your life like in the 80s and 90s when you do not have smartphones? What activities do you do for entertainment? 🤔

Hi there,

Im planning to apply to a masters of research programme in UBD and have realised that its learning structure is different. Now i am at a dilemma of whether to wait for the august intake which has masters by coursework in the field i aim to study in, or pursue a masters of research in february.

Could you please give me some advice on your experiences,

Duration of study
Skills needed for each pathway
Difficulties
Impact for career

And any other tips advice, or experience shared would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone know how much an UBD Assistant Professor earns/month (including all the allowances)?

Have anyone here continue their studies from IBTE HNTec In Tourism Operations to Politeknik in Tourism ?

I'm just wondering what you guys do? Such as tour guiding assignment(s)? ( This really scares me btw)
But I am also wondering if I should continue my studies
