[6] In 2013, he earned a PhD in international business from Brunel University London. [7] [8] [5]

Military career

Four cadet officers of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) have been promoted on Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's orders. The promotion ceremony, which included the presence of their sons Abdul Fattah and Abdul Mu'min, was attended by their parent, Prince Mohamed Bolkiah and Pengiran Anak Hajah Zariah with their agreement. On 8 June 2007, the Officers' Mess at Berakas Garrison hosted the promotion ceremony. With effect from 13 April earlier that year, he was promoted to Lieutenant. The Second Battalion of the Royal Brunei Land Forces (RBLF) was led by the prince as its platoon commander. From 8 January to 13 April 2007, both brothers had been enrolled in a cadet officers' programme at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. [9]

Marriage

Prince Sufri Bolkiah and other members of the royal family attended the Akad Nikah (solemnization of marriage vows) ceremony of Abdul Fattah and Dayangku Elina Zuraidah binti Pengiran Kamaluddin on 6 September 2018, at the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in the capital. [10] The bersanding ceremony was held at the Balai Penghadapan Bukit Kayangan on the 9th, with the Sultan of Brunei ans special guests, Sultan Iskandar Mahmud Badaruddin and Permaisuri Ratu Anita Soviah in attendance. [11]

Political positions

Economy

Abdul Fattaah stated that Brunei has a small, young population, which has the advantage of being lively and full of interesting individuals, on 22 September 2023. A small consumer base and a small talent pool are obstacles, though. The Sultanate, like many tiny economies, is primarily dependent on oil and gas. Its industry is the most developed in the nation, and many workers view the government and fossil fuel companies as desirable employers and important economic drivers. [12]

Digitalisation

On 22 November 2022, Abdul Fattaah emphasized that operating in the digital world have been implemented by the health care and education sectors, and that remote learning and telehealth, such as consultations via the internet that can be readily planned with doctors in other countries, have witnessed growth. He stated that it is crucial to ensure that all individuals can use these technologies and that the worldwide epidemic has also highlighted the adaptability of business owners and leaders. [13] [14]
