But now, the 72-year-old sultan of the former British protectorate is in the spotlight for a very different reason as he comes under fire from governments and activists around the world for introducing the Sharia Penal Code, which includes punishments such as death by stoning for adultery or homosexuality, or amputation of limbs for theft.
The sultan accused the prince of embezzling nearly $16 billion from the royal treasury -- which he denied. Prince Jefri was stripped of his ministerial role and BIA position, and went into self-imposed exile where he tried to fight a legal battle brought by the sultan for the remaining assets of the BIA. Eventually, the case ended in an out-of-court settlement.The sultan of Brunei with his brother Prince Jefri Bolkiah, pictured together after a polo match.
The law is faithless and mudering innocent
They're two crazy mans !
100% this sultan has had homosexual experiences, maybe he enjoyed it too much and that scared him.The rules are different when inside the palace.
Yes
A few weeks ago CNN was expressing solidarity with Muslims. Now they are criticizing their religious laws and condemning their beliefs. Pick a side CNN. Your sounding very islamiphobic right now
The great sultan of Brunei
No it’s so he can control the easily led better & kill those that aren’t. That’s all “shariah” law does.
What a pathetic thing to say its their life their culture their religion their contry. You should care about I inequality that girls are suffering from in sports and scholarships when their are forced to compete against a transgender .
Mais non....!!! Il ne faut pas ...Sharia...Quand même
What ever he is a better president than does creating war in other people's country for selfish interest
this same behavior can be seen among everyone from evangelist to feminist for example those who say being gay is a sin then there caught hitting on other min in truck stops or feminist who accuse others of sexism but they hate men both hate the transgender in many cases.
this is the tale of the moralist and the judgmental they often are them self all the things they condemn other for and want to make illegal we have seen this with many evangelist they push morality on others as a way of both self projecting and as a power grab.
focus on USA and check rape analysis reports .. don't interfere others... 💪 when you'll discuss about death Plenty in israhell sold out Media...
This is the filth of man,but the Divine Power knows the truth,no fool. They use religion f power,t oppress ,kill Almighty's souls cover sins
Allah bless Sultan Brunei & Sharia Rules imposed.
Oil reserve is depleting. Not many years left before it is over. Imagine what would happen after that. This town will become a ghost town after that.
Actually, religion is just a cover up, all he is doing is in his own interest. Not religion nor culture its just greed and love for vain and materialism in an excessive manner.
🕌👎🏻👍🏻👍🏻🗼7🍍♨
Nice
Until he actually cracks down homosexuality & adultery by stoning someone to death, it might be a propaganda to ensure his absolute monarchy thrives in his kingdom, religion to quash anarchy and his race remained privileged against migrants' next born in Brunei generation demands
hehe :-(
Shame on cnn
I don't know why there is all this hate for Brunei all of the sudden from Americans.. Could it be an honest response against the racist and evil laws against gay people or did Brunei found oil?
If nothing is done about this, other muslim nations might think they aren't strict enough and follow suit.
What do you mean by “cleaning family image “ ❓❓❓
We already know some Sharia deals - death penalty for homosexuals but it is legitimate to buy and marry 12 y/o girls, rape women, look the wives in at home, forbid them education, and treat them like slaves / owned property. Men have all the rights, women hardly any.
Gosh he's creepy AF
His position, lifestyle & treatment of fellow citizens is against Sharia. People like him would the first to be sentenced to life in prison or exile, under Islamic Sharia, ie under Islam's way. What he's doing is misusing & abusing religion to further his corruption.
Shame on them!
Those who flaunt all basic code of conduct in personal life, are the one who turn up as crusaders of radical ideologies to secure their power position.
He’s cleaning up his country from that filth and degeneracy that the West is trying force on everyone.
I see. The issue is the wealth. Ok, got it.
Still stuck in a lost primitive time, culturally brainwashed by a Radical form of Islam. Within the technology of the 21st century. If they had a reality show it would be close to the Handmaid’s Tale. 😢😢
fashioncrime
New bone eh?
He’s trying to clean up the population and decrease AIDS. I agree with him. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Double standard.
Nothing to clean up your image like stoning humans to death right? Just BoycottBrunei already.
