Consists of six chapters which explained the history of coinage and currency in Brunei and the Malay Archipelago. It also contains some specimens of coinage and currency used in Brunei and the Malay Archipelago since few centuries and decades ago.

This book was published in conjunction with the official opening of the Brunei History Centre as well as an exhibition on the history of Coinage of Brunei and Nusantara. 

The book is interesting and to use to words in the foreword 'sheds light on the history and administration of the Sultans of Brunei during the late 17th and 18th centuries.' The coins in the book served to validate the Brunei Tarsilah such as the rightful correct lineage of the Sultans throughout the ages. Some of the earliest identifiable coins are those that belong to Sultan Nasaruddin who ruled from 1690 to 1710 and there are other coin which have been issue either prior to, or later than some of the more positively identified coinage. Those who doubted the existence of Brunei only has to look at the older coins and the coins really demonstrated the capability of the Brunei economy at that time. We don't really know the exact time when Brunei issued its own coins. Some of the earliest unidentifiable coins are said to be about a few hundred years earlier than some of the more identifiable ones.

The aim of this short work, which grew from a series of lectures delivered by Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim is to acquaint the believers with Muhammad ﷺ as the man he was. He ﷺ was not divine, nor immune to the stress and hardships we all face. He was, however, divinely inspired to lead a mandate of reform and righteousness within the self that begins with submission to the Omnipotent, Al-Mighty Allah, and extends outwardly to the betterment of all.

Pada suatu masa dahulu, orang planet Marikh dan Venus bertemu, lalu jatuh cinta. Mereka hidup bahagia bersama kerana mereka menerima dan menghormati perbezaan masing-masing. Kemudian mereka berkahwin dan berpindah ke bumi. Pada suatu hari yang tidak disangka, mereka semua diserang penyakit amnesia, iaitu penyakit yang menyebabkan mereka terlupa bahawa mereka sebenarnya berasal dari planet yang berbeza.

Menggunakan metafora ini bagi menerangkan konflik-konflik yang biasa berlaku antara lelaki dan perempuan, Dr John Gray menjelaskan bagaimana perbezaan antara lelaki dan perempuan sering menjadi angkara dalam hubungan yang tidak bahagia. Berdasarkan pengalaman beliau memberi khidmat kaunseling kepada beribu pasangan dan individu, beliau memberi panduan bagaimana kita boleh mengatasi perbezaan dalam gaya komunikasi, keperluan emosi, dan perilaku bagi memupuk persefahaman antara lelaki dan perempuan.

The Malay Islamic Monarchy (MIB) which became the nation's offical concept in 1984 has fundamentally manifested before 1906. MIB elements from 1368 since the Islamisation of Awang Alak Betatar, until 1906 can be traced in terms of the existence and role of race, language, Islam, monarchy, customs and law. In terms of race and language, it is evident that Malay, as one of the MIB components before 1906, has emerged over tens of thousands of year ago. The eminence of Islam was not only supported by the Sultans of Brunei until 1906 but also gained solid cooperation from the preachers and the local people untilit became a way of life for the Brunei people. The Sultans of Brunei before 1906 also played a role in strengthening and expanding the customs of the people of Brunei until they became part of the MIB elements of this period.

DON'T MISS THE STANDALONE NEW NOVEL FROM JOJO MOYES, THE NO. 1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ME BEFORE YOU, AFTER YOU AND STILL ME

'Alice had come halfway across the world to find that, yet again, she was considered wanting. Well, she thought, if that was what everyone thought, she might as well live up to it.'

England, late 1930s, and Alice Wright - restless, stifled - makes an impulsive decision to marry wealthy American Bennett Van Cleve and leave her home and family behind.

But stuffy, disapproving Baileyville, Kentucky, where her husband favours work over his wife and is dominated by his overbearing father, is not the adventure - or the escape - that she hoped for.

That is, until she meets Margery O'Hare, a troublesome woman - and daughter of a notorious felon - the town wishes to forget.

Margery's on a mission to spread the wonder of books and reading to the poor and lost - and she needs Alice's help.

Trekking alone under big open skies, through wild mountain forests, Alice, Margery and their fellow sisters of the trail discover freedom, friendship - and a life to call their own.

But when Baileyville turns against them, will their belief in one another - and the power of the written word - be enough to save them?

Inspired by a remarkable true story, The Giver of Stars features five incredible women who will prove to be every bit as beloved as Lou Clark, the unforgettable heroine of Me Before You.
