25 February 2017 update

The June and July 2016 National news section are now up.

As was the last update, we discovered that some articles are missing, mostly from July. We will attempt to address this shortly.

We have discovered that the ‘search’ function on our website is presently not returning any meaningful results, or in fact any results, so we kindly encourage you for the moment to use Google instead to search through our site (for example, using “(search term) site:btarchive.org”).

We were surprised to find out about the burgeoning illegal taxi industry in this country. According to the various articles about them, there are 200–300 known cars on the road providing taxi services, with possibly more operating under the radar. Having Uber-like services would be a boon in Brunei, where it is necessary to have a car to move around for various activities.
