RFI ROUTINE JAKARTA KUALA LUMPUR SINGAPORE AND HONG KONG.
HONG KONG TELNO 222: BRUNEI ASIA WEEK.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE ASIA WEEK ARTICLE. SO CAN ONLY COMMENT
THAT HERE AS ELSEWHERE THERE ARE GOSSIP MERCHANTS WHO PURVEY
THEIR OWN GUESSWORK. I BELIEVE HOWEVER THAT THEY RECEIVE NO
COUNTENANCE AT ALL FROM THE SULTAN OR SIR OMAR, WHO HAVE MUCH RESERVE TOWARD THE PRESS, AND REMAIN DEEPLY CONSCIOUS OF THE VALUE OF THE BRITISH CONNECTION AND THE WORTH TO BRUNEI OF THE GURKHA
BATTALION STATIONED HERE.
