According to this statement from the Monetary Authority of Singapore: https://www.mas.gov.sg/currency/brunei-singapore-currency-interchangeability-agreement
"Banks in both countries also accept for deposit, from the public and businesses, currency issued by the other country at par and without charge. Businesses and members of the public should not be concerned about accepting payments in Brunei currency. "
Given this information, is there any reason why the Brunei dollar shouldn't be listed as one of the currencies of Singapore in the infobox? Wkpdsrnm2023 (talk) 09:23, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

The statement regarding Brunei having previously been ruled by Buddhists has a citation referring to an article by Nicholl (1980). I have not read the article in full, but it seems that the information as presented on Wikipedia is based on the view of 'Maharaji Karna' and probably also his 'grandfather or uncle' being a) Buddhist, something not argued clearly in the article b) a king of 'Brunei'. The latter aspect appears to be based on Nicholl's equivalence of 'P'o-li' with Brunei, a stance refuted by Kurz, Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the Universiti Brunei Darussalam, in his article 'Pre-modern Chinese Sources in the National History of Brunei: The Case of Poli'. 192.76.8.74 (talk) 12:43, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
“Defence” should be edited to “defense”. This is either atrocious spelling and/or very poor editing.Quite embarrassing, in my opinion. Read what you wrote (like a teacher is grading it!). 32.221.243.140 (talk) 18:15, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

remove second "revolt" which may be a typo
original text = The revolt had also revolt influenced the Sultan's decision not to join the Malaysian Federation while it was being formed. Punachar (talk) 02:18, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
There appears to be an error in the statement that the official name of Brunei is "State of Brunei",its not the official name, we should replace "State of Brunei" with "Brunei Darussalam", if there is strong evidence of "State of Brunei" is the official name, there should be a citation.
