Apparently the girl who was supposed to be representing Brunei Darussalam in one of the Olympics swimming events was in Beijing for a '10-day holiday'. Brunei Darussalam was omitted from the Beijing Olympics after failing to submit the athlete registration to the International Olympics Committee before noon of the opening day of the Olympics Games. The fact that the omission only happened on the opening day itself and if Brunei had managed to register its athlete on time, she was probably in Beijing to carry Brunei's flag into the Bird Nest Stadium. So, was she really in Beijing for the '10-day holiday' or was she there to participate in the Olympics?

In the latest cabinet re-shuffle, which happens vey rarely here, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports has been transferred to the Energy Division of the Prime Minister's Office and his post has been taken over by the Minister of Industry and Primary Resources. Could this be the result of the Brunei's Beijing Olympics fiasco?
