Pengiran Mohd Ali's biography highlights the considerable rolehe played in Brunei's history, particularly during the 1950s and1960s. A close confidant of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Omar Ali Saifuddin is the name of three Sultans of Brunei: Omar Ali Saifuddin I (reigned 1762-1795) Omar Ali Saifuddin II (reigned 1829-1852) Omar Ali Saifuddin III (reigned 1950-1967) III (father ofPrincess Areal Nasibah), Pengiran Mohd Ali was a member of the BruneiConstitutional Advisory Committee in 1953, which made recommendationsabout constitutional advance in the sultanate.

He became acting Head of the IslamicReligious Council in 1959 and Speaker of the Legislative Council betweenMarch 1959 and September 1962 (Eusoff Agaki 1991:237).

This was an unsettled time encompassingthe Brunei Revolt of December 1962, the uncertainties surrounding theformation of Malaysia, and the problems created by Confrontation. After leaving the government Pengiran Mohd Ali entered politics,not entirely successfully. He began well enough, winning a seat on theBrunei-Muara District Council at a by-election held on 23 October 1965(Eusoff Agaki 1991:125). He founded a political party, the PartaiKemajuan Rakyat (PAKAR), (3) or the People's Progressive Party There are several parties named People's Progressive Party: People's Progressive Party (The Gambia) People's Progressive Party (Guyana) People's Progressive Party (Liberia) People's Progressive Party (Malaysia) People's Progress Party (Papua New Guinea) , inDecember 1965 (Hussainmiya 1995:353). On 31 July 1966 he becamefounder-Chairman of Barisan Kemerdekaan Rakyat (BAKER) or thePeople's Independence Front. This resulted from a merger betweenPAKAR and another fledgling party, the Barisan Rakyat Brunei (BARA) orBrunei People's Front.

The British Connection Several prominent Britons with Brunei/NBD links departed during2005. Sir John Baines "Jack" Johnston (1918-2005), who died on16 October 2005, was Head of the Far East Department at the ColonialOffice in 1956-1957 at a time when attempts at constitutional advance inBrunei were being complicated by the appearance on the local scene ofthe Partai Rakyat Brunei, founded in January 1956. On 30 May 1957 Mr.Johnston held a meeting at the Colonial Office with the party'slawyer, Walter Raebum QC (1897-1972); and on 5 September that year heheld discussions with Sheikh sheikhor shaykhAmong Arabic-speaking tribes, especially Bedouin, the male head of the family, as well as of each successively larger social unit making up the tribal structure. The sheikh is generally assisted by an informal tribal council of male elders. Azahari himself in Singapore (CO 1030/464,items 44-47). Sir John was subsequently British High Commissioner inMalaysia (1971-1974) and Canada (1974-1978) before serving as a Governorof the BBC BBCin full British Broadcasting Corp.Publicly financed broadcasting system in Britain. A private company at its founding in 1922, it was replaced by a public corporation under royal charter in 1927. between 1978 and 1985 (DT Tu.25.10.2005:21). Sir Edward Heath (1916-2005), Prime Minister between 1970 and 1974,died on 17 July 2005 (BBC R4 Su.17.7.2005:2200h BST (convention) BST - British Summer Time.

During his time asLeader of the Opposition (1965-1970), he made a speech at Canberra(August 1968) in which he committed a future Conservative Government toreverse the then Labour Government's policy with regard to Brunei(Eusoff Agaki 1991:158, n146).

The Right Honourable Sir John Julian Ganzoni, Baronet baronetBritish hereditary rank of honor, first created by James I in 1611 to raise money, ostensibly for support of troops in Ulster. The baronetage is not part of the peerage, nor is it an order of knighthood. , second BaronBelstead (1932-2005), a Minister of State at the Foreign andCommonwealth Office in 1982-1983, peacefully breathed his last on 3December 2005 at Ipswich after a long illness (DT W.7.12.2005:22e #1).His official visit to Brunei in April 1983 occurred at a particularlysensitive time in Anglo-Brunei relations during the run-up to fullindependence. Various issues remained to be settled, notably defensearrangements. There were indications of tension, such as the abruptdeparture of the British High Commissioner, the "suddendisappearance" of the BBC news relay from RTB, the axing ofBritish-style saluting in the armed forces, and, later in the year, theremoval of the valuable Brunei portfolio from the Crown Agents (LTW.3.8.1983:13). Lord Belstead's visit does not appear to have beena success, or not immediately so at any rate. Pelita Brunei'ssilence about the reasons for the visit and the absence of any report atall of his subsequent departure were noted by Dr. Roger Kershaw, whoadded: "All that emerged was a denial (PB 4.5.1983) of a StraitsTimes (Singapore) report that Brunei was considering revising theagreements with Shell because Britain had rejected Brunei's termsfor the continued stationing of the Gurkha Battalion at Seria.Meanwhile, the Borneo Bulletin, 23 April, had reported the breakdown intalks and hinted that the terms for the control of the Gurkhas were thecrux of the problem" (Kershaw 1984:72). A settlement of the Gurkhaissue was eventually reached in September, when it was also announcedthat HRH Prince Charles would represent the United Kingdom at theindependence celebrations due to take place on 23 February 1984(DT22.9.1983; DT23.9.1983). A "popular Conservative minister for more than twodecades," Lord Belstead "never lit up his audiences" andwas sometimes nicknamed "Lord Bedstead." Educated at Eton andOxford, he was "graced with a beautiful voice," and"could be relied upon to talk common sense while seeking consensuswhenever possible" (DTF (Digital Tape Format) A high-performance magnetic tape technology from Sony that was based on the helical scan transport and cartridge shell of Sony's highly successful 1/2" Digital Betacam. . 16.12.2005:25 *). If so, this might helpto explain why the UK was eventually able to reach agreement with Bruneiin 1983.

Secondly, Professor Greville Stewart Parker Freeman-Grenville(1918-2005) produced innumerable scholarly works, most notably in thepresent context The Muslim and Christian Calendars (1963; reprinted1977).

He died on3 February 2005, "suddenly and peacefully in hospital," withthe Requiem Mass due to follow on Friday 11 February (DT Tu.8.2.2005:22d#7ff). Mention might be made here of Veronica Nell, Lady MacLean ofDunconnel (1920-2005).

Miscellaneous There are some miscellaneous names with uncertainties ofidentification or incomplete information about their Borneo connections. To begin with, James Edward Bernall White was State ElectricalEngineer in Brunei between 29 October 1963 (BGG 11.4.1964:82) and ?1968.He was appointed SLJ SLJ School Library JournalSLJ Samuel L Jackson (actor)SLJ Standing Long JumpSLJ Sentinels of Liberty and JusticeSLJ Seekers of the Lost JediSLJ School for Law & Justice (Urban Assembly; Brooklyn, NY)in 1967 (BGG 2.12.1967:275).

The Brunei honorsuggests a connection with the sultanate. Thirdly, one L. H. H. Hyett, known as "Bill," ex-RoyalNavy, Civil Engineer (retired), died on 17 September 2005, agedeighty-one years. The funeral was due to take place at Blyth on Friday23 September 2005 (Northumberland Today online, accessedM.26.9.2005:1614h B ST). One wonders whether this might be the sameperson as the "LH Hyett" who was acting State Engineer, Bruneifrom 14 May to 21 November 1956 while G. T. Myles was on leave (CO 985/2BGG 30.6.1956; BGG 31.1.1957). Caution certainly needs to be exercised,because the identification with the Brunei State Engineer is notdefinitely established. The notice in NTO NTO National Training Organisation (UK)NTO Nitrogen TetroxideNTO Northern Orion Resources, Inc (stock symbol)NTO Notice to OwnerNTO National Tourist Office (hospitality industry)does not mention thesultanate; the initials are given as "LHH LHH League for the Hard of HearingLHH Laguna Honda Hospital (San Francisco, California)LHH L-Band HHLHH Lutheran Hospice of Hope " rather than"LH"; and the name and address of the funeral directors arenot given, so it is not possible to check with them.
