The Brunei Darussalam Street Directory

I was very very delighted to have purchased the all-new Brunei Darussalam Street Directory. The previous road map I have was the one published by the Brunei Shell Company back in the early 1990s. The new 144-page directory is jointly produced by the Survey Department of Ministry of Development, Dr Kazimeirz Becek of UBD (Dept of Geography) and the Brunei Press Sdn Bhd. The Simpangs (especially the Jalans of Perumahan houses) and Kampongs (remote and water villages) are clearly listed here. In addition, a foldable A2-size map of Brunei comes with the edition. It is a must-have for me as I haven't really explore my beloved country, as part of the effort to Kenali Negara Kitani (KNK). The copy is available at major bookstores such as Best Eastern, Bismi, Booker, Mubarak, Paul & Elizabeth, Pustaka Remaja, Sunju souvenir shop, The Empire Hotel & Country Club etc, selling for B$14.90 only. To enquire about this directory, call 8777656 in Bandar areas and 3334345 for Kuala Belait residents. So, go and grab a copy now!!!
