Abdul Rahman bin Mohamed Taib (born 5 December 1942) is a Bruneian aristocrat and politician, currently serving as the speaker of the Legislative Council of Brunei since February 2015.

[1] He completed his early education in Brunei before pursuing higher studies at the University of Malaya, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts (Hons).

[8] In 1985, Abdul Rahman inaugurated a joint-venture business conference at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, emphasising the importance of joint ventures in balancing local participation with international expertise.

The plan proposed the creation of a development bank and monetary authority to support economic growth, with a B$3.73 billion budget allocated across various sectors.

[2] In order to address concerns about the lack of progress in economic diversification—a major objective of RKN 5—Abdul Rahman was chosen to head the newly created Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources on 30 November 1988.

[13][3] Abdul Rahman participated in the Joint Statement of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Ministerial-Level Meeting, held in Canberra from 6 to 7 November 1989.

Economic leaders proposed changes to the government payment system, labour quotas, and work permits, along with clearer policies and faster decision-making processes.

Additionally, his successful business visit to Sarawak in 1995 resulted in the signing of eight memoranda of understanding (MoU) covering industries such as tourism, agro-industry, and technology transfer.

[21] He also participated in the 11th AFTA Council Meeting in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, on 15 October 1997,[22] and represented the Brunei government in signing the Protocol to Implement the Initial Package of Commitments under the ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services in Kuala Lumpur on 15 December 1997.

[23] Despite the difficulties caused by the Asian economic crisis, Abdul Rahman emphasised in September 1998 the importance of luring small and medium-sized businesses to the nation and urged bigger companies, like QAF Holdings, to be more active in this endeavour.

[31] Abdul Rahman signed a MoU with the Federation Council of Russia on 19 February 2019, aimed at enhancing communication between the parliaments of both nations.

[2] On 3 December 1981, Abdul Rahman was honoured by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah with the manteri title of Pehin Orang Kaya Setia Pahlawan, bearing the style Yang Dimuliakan.
