He continued his education at the Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam Malay School from 1950 to 1956.

He then came back to Brunei to finish his secondary education at Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien College. In 1957, he resumed his education at the Westminster College of Commerce in London and the Woodchester School in Gloucestershire, England. At the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, he received a Bachelor of Social Science degree in Economics, Politics, and Sociology in 1964. [7]

Political career

Abdul Aziz worked for the Bruneian government for almost 41 years, holding a number of significant positions, including Administrative Service Officer from 20 October 1964, Director of Resettlement in 1966, Controller of Customs and Excise in 1967, Director of Public Works in 1970, Director of Establishment in 1971, Commissioner of Lands from 30 March 1972 to 7 April 1972, [8] Commissioner of Development in 1972, Chairman of the Municipal Board in 1973, State Secretary of Brunei from 1974 to 1981, and Acting Chief Minister of Brunei from 1 September 1981 to 31 December 1983.

They were able to effectively explain the challenges facing our development and its progress, as well as comprehend the challenges faced by other nations for the sake of shared interests. This was said by a spokesperson attending the meeting on behalf of the Bruneian delegation. The individuals who represented Brunei at the conference were J. S. Gould, the UN Economic Advisor to Brunei (advisor to delegation); Othman Chua Kwang Soon, the Controller of Customs and Customs (head of delegation); and Abdul Aziz, Officer of the Department of Secretaries (deputy head representative and representative secretary).

[13] From 30 November 1988 to 24 May 2005, he finally returned to the role of Minister of Education. [7] [6]

Melayu Islam Beraja

A number of actions were taken in 1985 to make Brunei's status as a MIB more clear. Abdul Aziz, the Minister of Education and Health, stated that "it is our ultimate objective that every Bruneian, irrespective of his or her religion and race, will understand and practise the virtues of a Malay Islamic Monarchy" on the occasion of Brunei's admission to the World Health Organization (WHO) in May. [14] The actions of Abdul Aziz, may be interpreted as hesitant moves in the direction of strengthening the philosophy's viability as the national narrative going forward and laying the foundation for a gradual shift towards constitutionalism. If the monarchy keeps up its image as the protector of Malays and the guardian of the Islamic faith. [15] Under his direction, the curriculum at schools currently includes MIB, and the practice of Islamic law has been extremely strict. [16]

Amedeo crisis

During the Amedeo Development Corporation scandal in 1998, Abdul Aziz-led government investigation seized control of all 27 of the businesses run by Prince Jefri Bolkiah's Amedeo Corporation on the grounds that they may have received money that was not theirs. Brunei and Prince Jefri engaged in an unusual three-month legal battle, but on 13 May 2000, it was revealed that the Prince had settled out of court with Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's administration. [17] When the pious Pehin Abdul Aziz Umar was given control of the Brunei Investment Agency (BIA) in place of Prince Jefri, religious authority was added to buttress the monarchy. Then Minister of Education, Acting Minister of Health and Head of the Financial Task Force, Abdul Aziz would go on to state, [18]

With this settlement, Insha Allah (God willing), all assets such as hotels, buildings, lands, shares and other similar assets in Brunei Darussalam and overseas, which were acquired with money derived from BIA and are at present under the control of his Highness (Prince Jefri) and his family, will be returned to the BIA.

Later life

Abdul Aziz stated on 12 April 2021 that the Brunei Malay Teachers Association (PGGMB), which was founded 82 years ago, must work to keep up with modern demands to support national progress. During the opening ceremony of PGGMB's 71st Delegates General Meeting for the 2020–2021 session at the PGGMB School Sungai Akar, he stated: [22]

How can PGGMB shape itself to be relevant in this age? Because PGGMB today cannot justify itself on the needs and goals of the community 82 years ago. This is our challenge today, on how we can inculcate PGGMB to be of noticeable significance in today’s community, so that the community will not turn away, except for its vital role in developing our beloved nation. Relevance will only be visible through unity of Malay teachers in the country, that is revolved around the national interest and the community at large.
