I really enjoyed reading Jack's post on Brunei businesses going bust. Absolutely agree that its not all gloom and doom and its just a matter of time before the economy starts pumping again with all those projects slated for the 9th RKN.
My only concern is this, what do we do before then? Aside from jostling for position with arms (and mouths) wide-open, ready for the giant JPKE to award those "mega-projects"?
Anyway, thats boring stuff. I was more excited by the suggestion that Brunei become a retirement village for the rich (and famous?). I like that idea, and I think it can work! Not only as retirement village but also as a residential base for executives from multi-national companies, it would be ideal. With all ASEAN capitals within a short flying distance, these executives could telecommute daily and fly to and from meetings as and when.
In return, they would get a safe, tax-free, and clean environment to bring up their families.
Sweet...

jgn tah relocate. on the other hand, y do u wanna relocate? is wordpress better den blogspot? what sense?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I like the move. Cleaner, more professional-looking, and faster to load. :) Commenting is also made easy and ultra painless because all info is auto-remember.
ReplyDeleteJust my cuppa. I find Wordpress easier to use and my blog is definitely in a much better state when using Wordpress (less spam, especially)j. Why don't you try it for a month then, decide what you think?
but why? This is anak brunei's Ommm. Eh salah, Home..
ReplyDeleteeh sumone say me name?
ReplyDeleteWhy would you wana relocate?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of moving there too.
ReplyDeleteThough, still getting used to the kinks of WP and learning CSS to make modifications to templates easier.
But maybe, just reserve anakbrunei.wordpress.com address and import posts from here to there for now?
I'd move if I can import my archives.
ReplyDeleteblogspot is good, never tried wordpress though. But I'll stick with blogdrive, perhaps the only one using blogdrive hehe
ReplyDeleteAfter playing with Wordpress over the last few days, I find that it is certainly more powerful and versatile but I've decided to stick with Blogger for now :)
ReplyDeleteoh, that's too bad but I say move.
