Serious Brunei Sultan Confirms That PAP Lee Family Is The Most Esteemed Family In Both Singapore And Brunei! Madam Ho Ching First Class Too! Majulah PAP!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his wife, Madam Ho Ching, received royal honours from Brunei's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah during an investiture.

PM Lee and Madam Ho received the honours at the official residence of the Sultan, the Istana Nurul Iman in Bandar Seri Begawan, on the last day of their three-day trip on Saturday (July 16).

PM Lee received The Most Esteemed Family Order, while Madam Ho received The Most Distinguished Order of Paduka Seri Laila Jasa - First Class.

The honour received by PM Lee is awarded to members of royalty, foreign rulers and individuals who have rendered important services to the Sultan of Brunei, and carries with it the title of Dato Laila Utama.

It was previously also given to former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew in 1990, as well as Singapore's first president Yusof Ishak in 1960.

Other leaders who have been given the honours include Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Sarawak Governor Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud.

Madam Ho's award, which has three classes, is awarded to individuals for outstanding service to the Sultan and the state. It is also awarded to esteemed foreign persons whom the Sultan of Brunei considers fit and proper to confer as honorary members.

The First Class of the Order carries the title of Dato Paduka Seri Laila Jasa, while the Second Class of the Order carries the title of Dato Seri Laila Jasa. The Third Class of the Order does not come with a title.

Previous Singaporean recipients of the honours include Dr Ooi Choon Jin (Second Class) and Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Meyyappan Nadarajan Thevar (Third Class).

PM Lee and Madam Ho later attended a state banquet hosted by Sultan Bolkiah.

Earlier on Saturday, PM Lee, Sultan Bolkiah and Brunei's Crown Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah met in the morning for a walk and breakfast. PM Lee also hosted a lunch meeting with Bruneian ministers on Saturday.

As part of their trip, PM Lee and Madam Ho had attended the 76th birthday celebrations of Sultan Bolkiah on Friday.

They had also attended an investiture ceremony that saw Sultan Bolkiah confer state decorations on 23 individuals.

and also preserving the value of the brunei dollar since it’s pegged to sgd. huat ah!

It's the other way round. Brunei dollar helps prop up SGD. Too much oil and too little population, their ringgit is naturally much more valuable, as good as gold.
Thus the value buys them protection from SG against unfriendly neighbours.

it’s win-win for both. when oil price and futures go down sgd with its strong reserves plus foreign investment and sexchange standing props up the bruneian dollar, and vice versa when oil goes up props up the sgd as insurance. sgd will continue to be strong as regional and international capital flight lands in sg as a safe haven measure, regardless of what happens to oil price.

We get Brunei oil at a good price. And in return, we station singaporean troops at a fort near the sultan's palace, ready to kill anyone who tries to usurp his throne.

Brunei produces, maybe 100k.barrels of oil per day. Down from 400k decades ago.
Its the LNG that saved them. Plus they may have found in deepwaters which dr m previously claimed to be part of malaysia, but badawi gave it back to Brunei no hassle. It was the right thing to do.

Every armed forces in the region knows SAF are essentially boy scouts give big toys. The moment they see blood flowing, the parents will surrender.
