Discover Voices of Bruneian Women by Siti Zaviera Jayn Julahi – A Powerful Insight into the Evolution of Bruneian Women’s Roles

This book is based on a research paper which provides further insights on the role of working Bruneian women written in various literature through Borneo Bulletin's opinion pages / the letters to the editor section in the years 1990, 1991 and 1992.

These insights were obtained by scrutinising and contextualising the issues raised in the said section concerning women at the time, followed by the reasoning behind them. Substantiating the use of textual analysis to the regional, English medium newspaper with several document reviews proffers additional clarification and aids in addressing the study's research questions.

Results show the emergence of issues on foreign domestic maids, which has been narrowed down and categorised into a theme: the role of foreign domestic workers towards Bruneian women in the labour force. It was a necessity in requiring domestic helpers at the time due to the dual responsibilities possessed by these local women.

This reveals the start of a clear inclination in the transition of Bruneian women from their traditional, domestic roles to joining the working industry; clarifying the alignment of their role and status in the early 1990s with the contemporary era.

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.

This book comprehensively covers a wide range of subjects regarding Palestine's ongoing struggle for their homeland, including historical conflicts between Arabs and Jews, the rise of Jewish nationalism, and the issuance of the Balfour Declaration in London in 1917. Its effects are still felt today as it obligated Britain to assist in the creation of "a National Home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. Furthermore, the book analyses and investigates the extent to which this conflict has deeply violated the principles of IHL and examines the history of prejudices exacerbated by foreign colonisation. Moreover, the book scrutinizes and explores the degree to which this conflict has flagrantly transgressed the rules of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and examines the historical biases that have been intensified by foreign cólonization. It primarily reveals the unlawful establishment of the state of Israel and its contentious position in the Middle East region. Major political events have shaped the largest displacement and expulsion of populations in the world, suffering, oppression, exploitation, and ultimately brutal loss of millions of lives. Palestinian freedom of movement and the right to return to their homeland are among the key issues surrounding the conflict. The controversy revolves around the crucial problems of Palestinian mobility and their entitlement to repatriation to their land. In general, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of these issues, with the aim of enlightening and educating readers and history students at both local and global levels, regardless of their affiliation with either side of the conflict. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the complex and continuing conflict, including its historical, political, legal, and contemporary aspects. ISBN 978-99984-51-48-3

Pengalaman pantang larang sudah menjadi lumrah dalam kehidupan masyarakat Melayu Brunei sejak dahulu kala. Sungguhpun pantang larang hanya diperturunkan secara lisan dari generasi tua terdahulu, namun tidak dapat disangkal terdapat unsur dan nilai yang terkandung di sebaliknya. Malah turut menggambarkan ketajaman pemikiran masyarakat lampau dalam mencipta pantang larang sebagai bahan didaktik yang disampaikan secara berkias. Walau bagaimanapun, adakah kesemua pantang larang yang dicipta itu ada kerasionalannya? Apakah ia masih relevan dalam era moden ini? Bagaimana pula pandangan dan pemahaman generasi muda kini mengenai pantang larang?

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.

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus berjaya membantu berjuta-juta orang lelaki dan perempuan memahami pasangan mereka dengan lebih baik. Ia adalah alat bantu yang penting dalam membentuk hubungan suami isteri yang lebih mendalam dan memuaskan.

“Jarang sekali kita berjumpa dengan buku bukan fiksyen yang membuatkan kita tidak mampu meletakkan buku sebelum habis membaca. Tetapi John Gray berjaya menghasilkannya.” – Susan Page

“…panduan terbaik bagi memahami hubungan suami isteri.” – Harold Bloomfield

Many people say you would know your partner when you married them, But is it true for all partners?

Takes places in a fictional Brunei, we are taken into the world of two couples via various exchange of letters. A couple in turmoil while another is in need of a talk. But the thing is no one is speaking to each other. Not couple A and not couple B. However they are speaking to the other. Seems sus. Yeah it is suspicious. And definitely an affair. Or is it?

Semakin lama melalui dalam jalan kehidupan, semakin kita menyedari hidup tidak semudah yang digambarkan dalam kisah dongeng masa kecil. Tidak selalu ada bunga dan pelangi yang menemani di tengah perjalanan, meskipun juga tidak selalu dirundung hujan badai.

Namun di atas semua itu, selalu ada rahsia di sebalik apa yang diberikan oleh kehidupan kepada kita. Sedar ataupun tidak, kehidupan mengajarkan banyak hal pada kita agar menjadi lebih kuat. Ada banyak sekali rahsia sekali gus realiti yang dapat dipelajari dalam kehidupan.

Melalui buku ini, Buya Hamka menghuraikan tentang rahsia kehidupan dan perilaku manusia. Tidak ada kelebihan, semuanya sama di sisi Tuhan; kelebihan seseorang daripada yang lain hanyalah takwanya, budinya, dan kecerdasan akalnya. Bukan kerana pangkat atau harta kekayaan. Melainkan, sewajarnya tangan si lemah dibimbing sehingga beroleh kekuatan sehingga tertegaklah keseimbangan. Inilah hidup yang dikehendaki Islam. Inilah Falsafah Hidup yang kita kehendaki….’

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.

When the whaleship Essex set sail from Nantucket in 1819, the unthinkable happened. A mere speck in the vast Pacific ocean and powerless against the forces of nature Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale, and her twenty crewmen were forced to take to the open sea in three small boats. Ninety days later only a handful of survivors were rescued and a terrifying story of desperation, cannibalism and courage was revealed...

This book seeks to provide an introduction to international human rights law, particularly those primary sources (treaties, other instruments, and jurisprudence) which explain the fundamental rights and freedoms to which we are all entitled and provide an overview of related issues from a legal and social science perspective. It provides a foundation for those who want to learn the basic parameters of this field but also promotes new thinking and frameworks for the study of human rights in the twenty-first century. Human rights as an area of academic interest cannot be easily divorced from human rights struggles and the reality of contemporary conditions. The book discusses the United Nations; the United Nations’ organizational structure; regional protection of human rights; Europe; the Americas; Asia, and Africa; key treaties and mechanisms for monitoring, implementing, and enforcing human rights. However, with the constraint of space, it cannot cover the entire range of rights and freedoms. Rather it takes a thematic approach, attempting to draw together the main areas of activity under umbrella headings, demonstrating the interdependence and indivisibility of international human rights.  It has been written in a manner that seeks to be comprehen­sible without avoiding any of the complicated topics which require explanation. The book will benefit students, academicians, and practitioners who would like to develop further their understanding of Human Rights Law.  9789991787671
