Subject: ENQUAIRY FROM MRS AMINATU BOLKIAH
Attn: the President,
I am Aminatu BOLKIAH wife of PRINCE JEFRI BOLKIAH, who was the former
Finance Minister of Brunei, located in the northwest of the island of
Borneo. Brunei Darussalam is a small country governed according to
Islamic values and traditions by His Majesty Sultan Hajj Hassanal
Bolkiah Mu izzaddin Waddaulah. Due to the problems that affected my
husband I was attacked by the kingdom in 2003 and I am presently hiding
for the safety of my life but still trying to get my husband finances
unknown to the sultan secured
As you may know from the international media, the sultan has alleged my
husband of financial mismanagement of US$16.8 Billion. This was as a
result of the Asian Financial Crisis that made my husband company;
AMENDEO DEVELOPMENT COMPANY and a government owned BRUNEI INVESTMENT
AGENCY to be declared bankrupt during his tenure in office.
My husband was relieved of his post as Finance Minister of Brunei and
was stripped of his chairmanship post as head of the Nation
International Investment Arm, the Brunei Investment Agency, Brunei's
overseas assets and 13 other companies which he control
My husband has been kept under house arrest since 2000, his bank
accounts and private properties, including a crude oil export refinery
all confiscated by the sultan.
