On the front page.....

Did you notice something was not right on the front page of today's Borneo Bulletin?



There was nothing about Brunei at all!

None of the events that happened in Brunei yesterday was worthy to be put on the front page, apparently. Somehow, the 'national' debate on the teaching of Science and Mathematics in English in Malaysian schools made it to the front page. Granted, there was nothing particularly interesting happened yesterday in Brunei, but at least put the wonderful story of four students who were being sent to Singapore to further their studies. Or, the news about the mini landslide. Or, just put something, albeit a news snippet.

If you were foreigner in Brunei and were looking for a Bruneian paper, you would forgiven for not picking up Borneo Bulletin today as you might mistake it for a non-Bruneian paper!
