THREAD: Ever heard of Muslim female rulers in the Malay world? Probably not. Somehow we always talk about Sultans and Rajas, but we rarely talk about Sultanahs and Ratus. When I first heard of the word ‘Sultanah’ I was quite puzzled because I had no idea that they existed.

Bruneians, do please read this! And I will be more than happy to provide a thread based on the Bruneian perspective to why we did not join the federation of Malaysia in 1963. I’ve also been working on this for the past two years for my PhD thesis to understand the present.

Okay. Bismillah Soalan yang ditanya, perspective Malaysia perihal keengganan Brunei menyertai Persekutuan 1963. Jawapan ringkasnya, Brunei "menolak" untuk menyertai Malaysia kerana Sultan Omar mahu melindungi Brunei dari: 1. Sistem Politik 2. Sistem Kewangan (1/n)
