ABSTRACT
During the 1990s Brunei remained politically stable. Nearly all those in ministerial positions at the beginning of the 1990s, remained so in 2001, the most notable exceptions being the departure from the Ministry of Finance of the Sultan’s youngest brother, Prince Jefri and, from the Ministry of Justice, of Pg Bahrin Abas. Over the same period, its domestic policies and international policies underwent no major changes. By 2001, however, there was evidence that the country was entering a period of transition.
