Brunei and Malaysia: '' Why Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Refused to Join the Federation '' is a 2013 book written by Isa Bin Ibrahim, a prominent member of the delegation of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin of Brunei with Neil Lawson QC, a London lawyer acting as the constitutional adviser on the formation of Malaysia. The book offers an inside perspective on Brunei's determination to retain its territory as an oil-rich self-governing state, contrasted with the British desire that Brunei should become part of the new federation to help counter the regional influence of China. ==Description== Tunku Abdul Rahman and most of his senior cabinet ministers, including Tun Abdul Razak, Razali Ismail and Tan Siew Sin, met with the Sultan of Brunei to negotiate conditions including: * The number of seats in legislature and parliament * Control of oil, gas and mineral exploration * Production, monetary autonomy and Brunei's earlier investments * Method of taxation * Authority in education and welfare (sovereign wealth fund) * Matters of religion and citizenship * The security of Brunei, and the position of the Sultan * The status of Brunei within the proposed new federation of Malaysia. Brunei pulled out of the negotiations before the Malaysia Agreement was signed on 9 July 1963 and subsequently became independent from the United Kingdom on 1 January 1984. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brunei and Malaysia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
