Rozan's editorial reach was augmented by his consistent writing for the Golden Legacy section in the now-defunct The Brunei Times newspaper, where he shared his knowledge of Brunei's past and customs. At international, regional, and national venues, he has produced and delivered several papers. Before the older generations passed away as they aged, he used to listen to these folks. One day he had the idea that someone ought to record all of this before it all vanishes, so he did. He began writing blogs about this in the 1990s. He created the website bruneiresources.com, relocated his articles there, and posted all of the tidbits that he was constantly learning there. He does research using Brunei-related literature that he accumulated over the years. Many academics he know have given me PDF copies of their work.
Currently, Rozan works as an adjunct professor at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam's (UBD) Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L). He also lectures at the Institute of Policy Studies and the Academy of Brunei Studies. After 30 years in the Bruneian government, where he held several positions including Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office, he joined C3L in 2017.
