of us$14.8 billion dollars this was as a result of the Asian Financial
crisis that made my father company Amedeo Development Company and government
owned Brunei investment company to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in

and private properties including a crude oil export refinery were later
confiscated by the sultanate to avoid further prosecution from the sultan
and his security operatives, but before I could do that I was placed under
