Melayu Islam Beraja

Islam is the official and state religion of Brunei; and MIB basically opposes the concept of secularism.

[3][4] The concept of MIB is one that Brunei citizens adhere to in both daily life and the management of the nation's affairs.

Radio Television Brunei (RTB), the primary media outlet of the country and essentially the government's mouthpiece, plans to put the MIB idea into practice.

[6] As part of the MIB philosophy, which is based on the Al-Quran and hadith, the Sultan reminded the citizens of this nation to practice and implement the teachings of Islam.

[7] Melayu in the MIB concept refers to Brunei as a Malay nation that upholds traditional values and culture.
