As a person who inhabits on this Earth, we can tackle these issues by collectively incorporating the concept of sustainability into our lifestyle, with ‘Whole-of-Government’ and ‘Whole-of-Nation’ approaches. Simple sustainable lifestyle choices can be made through the switch to using re-usables and reducing the consumption of disposable or single-use plastics...

— Dato Seri Setia Ir Suhaimi Gafar, TheStar, 5 June 2022

In his speech at the 4th Asia-Pacific Water Summit (4thAPWS) in Kumamoto, Japan on 23 April 2022, Dato Suhaimi bin Haji Gafar reaffirmed the Sultanate's commitment to tackling water concerns. [9] Similar to the announcement of his appointment as minister, he was replaced by Dato Juanda after another cabinet reshuffle on 7 June later that year. [10]

The B$13 million Lugu flyover project, one of Dato Suhaimi's last initiatives, was formally inaugurated on 20 February 2022, with the goal of enhancing road connectivity for Lugu residential neighbourhoods and granting essential access to the Muara–Tutong Highway. Safety barriers and double bridges were also included in the project. As part of Brunei's Green National Strategy under Wawasan Brunei 2035, 500 tree seedlings were also planted at the location with the goal of increasing forest coverage and carbon sinks through reforestation.
