BRUNEI
The sovereignty of the Sultan of Brunei has been reduced to a wedge of territory of some 2,500 square miles, practically surrounded by Sarawak. With a coast line of 100 miles it embraces the Districts of Belait, Tutong, Brunei, Temburong and Labu. There is only one town of any size, Brunei or Dar-ul-Salam (city of peace), which has a population of 10,000 persons. The census of 1921 showed a total of 25,454 for the whole State. Of these some 1,500 were Chinese. The Europeans numbered 23 in Brunei Town. The town itself was formerly composed of houses built in the river on nibong piles. With the establishment of peace and order, however, the natives have gradually learned the advantages of cultivation and have migrated to terra firma, and all business in the town is now conducted on land. The Chinese have built some 57 stone and brick shops and houses, and all government buildings are on land.
