Melayu Islam Beraja

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

On 1 January 1984, which was also the country's independence day, Brunei was formally recognized as a Malay Islamic Monarchy.

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.
