The tiny but thriving Islamic
Sultanate of Brunei perches on the northwestern
coast of Borneo, completely encircled by the
East Malaysian state of Sarawak.
Brunei
is a little slice of Islamic heaven. Alcohol is
virtually unobtainable, there's no nightlife to
speak of, and the political culture encourages
quiet acquiescence to the edicts of the sultan.
The folk of Brunei are amply rewarded for their
conformist ways with free healthcare, free
education, free sporting centres, cheap loans
and high, tax-free
wages. |
