Unfortunately some bosses are neglecting this. Some other employers do register their staff with TAP but they never contribute anything at all. The 10 percent deduction is taken from the employee's pay. I hope the department concerned could look into the matter and correct me if I'm wrong. Secondly, I think css40 is very fortunate that his kampong has already got all the basic amenities that he has nothing to complain of.
Village heads are there because of the number of votes they get.
Anybody in a kampong can become the head, provided they fulfil certain criteria, which does not include any of the above, and have lots of support from the people. Not every kampong is fortunate to have qualified personnel contesting for the post of head. It certainly never happened before in the history of Negara Brunei Darussalam. Even the district offices and the other relevant parties will not know the potential and ability of the candidates contesting for the post of head. The Borneo Bulletin is playing a very big role in relaying the grievances of the people of Negara Brunei Darussalam direct to those concerned.
