BRUNEI DARUSSALAM - It's name in the local language means "The Abode Of Peace". For one Brunei Citizen like me, there is no peace. My name is Zainuddin and was born on the 25th October 1942 in Brunei Darussalam. I was formerly a Police Officer and resigned at my own accord. My father Dato Hj. Marsal bin Maun was a former Chief Minister of Brunei. I was in the Jewellery business as an agent for Michalls A.E. of Athens and Golden Creations of Geneva in Brunei Darussalam. As an agent, I was involved in the supply, sales of exclusive and unique jewelleries, gemstone and decorative ornaments to members of the Royal Family of Brunei. I was earning an average income of B$264,740.81 per month. |
