[3] Hasbollah bin Haji Mohammed Daud was born in 1902 in the village of Kampong Sumbiling, Brunei Town.

[3] Datin Paduka Hajah Norsiah, his sister, served as the Ministry of Education's acting permanent secretary in 2002.

[3] The British Military Administration detained him together with Salleh Masri and a number of other Malays for their involvement in the Malay-Chinese clash in March 1946.

[4][7] Hasbollah founded the BUP in September 1961 at Kampong Sumbiling,[7][1] registered in December,[8] with a pro-Malaysian stance aimed at promoting the Malaysia Plan to Bruneians[9][3] and in favour of Brunei's integration with the Malaysian Federation.

In response, the PRB stated that numerous Bruneians had publicly opposed Malaysia in front of the Brunei–Malaysia Commission, proving that a lack of faith in Hasbollah did not translate to political apathy.
