On 13 February it was agreed by Brunei's Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports committee that one participant in athletics and swimming would be sent to the Games. In the months prior to the London Games, Brunei attracted media attention as it was noted that the nation was one of only three countries—along with Saudi Arabia and Qatar—never to have sent a female athlete to the Olympics. The delegation to London comprised runners Ak Hafiy Tajuddin Rositi and Maziah Mahusin and swimmer Anderson Lim. Along with the three athletes, the Brunei Olympic team's delegation was led by chef de mission Hj Mohd Zamri Dato Paduka Hj Hamdani. Mahusin was selected as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony while Lim held it at the closing ceremony.
