The Brunei Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brunei Times is an English-language daily broadsheet newspaper published in Brunei Darussalam. It was the brainchild of a media company, Brunei Times Sdn Bhd, owned by a group of prominent local businessmen, in a bid to internationalise the Sultanate as it diversifies the local economy in the wake of rising oil exploration costs and depleting energy resources.
When it was officially launched on July 1, 2006 at The Mall, Gadong, Brunei Darussalam, it carried the motto "Fresh Ideas, New Option, Global Vision". It was offered on a complimentary basis until July 16, 2006. Readers can now buy the newspaper for B$1.00.
Examples of its front cover are shown below:

Its team comprises editors from Brunei and abroad working alongside local reporters.
