At international, regional, and national venues, he has produced and delivered several papers. Before the older generations passed away as they aged, he used to listen to these folks. One day he had the idea that someone ought to record all of this before it all vanishes, so he did. He began writing blogs about this in the 1990s. He created the website bruneiresources.com, relocated his articles there, and posted all of the tidbits that he was constantly learning there. He does research using Brunei-related literature that he accumulated over the years. Many academics he know have given me PDF copies of their work.[4]
