History

On 1 July 1954, [7] the Jabatan Adat Istiadat, Ugama dan Kebajikan Masyarakat (Department of Customs, Religious and Social Welfare) was founded. [8] [9] Previously housed at the General Office of the Royal Secretariat Building (now known as the Secretariat Building). With the consent of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III, the department was established by appointing Pengiran Anak Haji Mohamed Alam as the Pegawai Adat Istiadat, Ugama, and Kebajikan Masyarakat (Customs, Religious, and Social Welfare Officer). [10]

With the authority granted by the Brunei 1959 Constitution, the Religious Section became the Department of Religious Affairs on 29 September 1959, [11] [12] and Pengiran Dato Seri Paduka Haji Ali became its new head. The Jabatan Adat Istiadat dan Kebajikan Masyarakat (Department of Customs and Social Welfare) was first founded in October 1961, [8] as a result of the Kebajikan Masyarakat (Social Welfare Section) appointing Mohamed Salleh bin Haji Masri as its director, and the creation of the Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat Brunei (Brunei Social Welfare Department). Since then, Pengiran Anak Haji Mohamed Alam has served as the Yang Di-Pertua Adat Istiadat Negara of the Jabatan Adat Istiadat. [10] [13]

Following the construction of the Lapau in 1968, the Jabatan Adat Istiadat Negara (JAIN) relocated and took up temporary residence at the bottom of the structure. His son, Pengiran Anak Haji Mohammad Yusof, took over as head of JAIN on 1 December 1981. The development of the JAIN happened gradually under his direction. The Sultan of Brunei has been using JAIN since its founding, particularly when it comes to giving someone national honours. JAIN is currently housed in a permanent structure next to the Lapau. Pengiran Anak Haji Abdul Aziz's work and endeavours led to the foundation of this structure. [10]
