Muhammad Taha bin Abdul Rauf (born 5 January 1933)[1] is a retired Bruneian aristocrat, legislative councillor, and educator of Tutong descent.

He pledged to focus on highlighting the key issues affecting his area and committed to ensuring that all relevant concerns would be debated in the LegCo for the benefit of his community.

Muhammad Taha demanded a revision of Brunei's rubber plantation policy on 1 April 2013, arguing that fresh projects would help bring the industry back to life.

Given the restricted amount of land available for plantations, he said the ministry would give priority to important products like rice, fruits, and vegetables and would not back projects that would cultivate sugarcane or rubber because of the possible environmental hazards.

The Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Hazair Abdullah, agreed with the proposal and stressed the significance of continuing efforts across schools, colleges, and private sectors to promote the language.

Additionally, Muhammad Taha was involved in discussions regarding the standardisation of Jawi script and the consideration of a national library, although financial constraints hindered its prioritisation.

Minister Suyoi Osman explained that delays often resulted from noncompliance with land laws, disputes between landowners, and slow completion of necessary paperwork by applicants.

[13] Further, on 25 March 2013, Muhammad Taha raised concerns about the inadequate and unclear Datastream Digital network coverage in his constituency, specifically in Kampong Sinaut and Birau.

In response, Abdullah Bakar, the Minister of Communications, assured that stores outside the main area would remain open, and critical services, such as immigration and customs, would continue without disruption.

While contributions in Brunei are relatively low compared to other countries, he assured that TAP would consider introducing more flexible withdrawal options without impacting retirement benefits.

[17] On 18 March 2014, Muhammad Taha expressed his hope that the Science Secondary School in Kampong Kupang, would proceed according to the 10th National Development Plan's schedule, aiming for completion by 2017.

On 7 March 2016, he underscored the importance of fostering partnerships between international investors and the local private sector to diversify the nation's revenue streams beyond oil and gas.

He highlighted the need to provide skilled individuals with opportunities to contribute to these businesses and endorsed the Sultan’s call for LegCo members to take more proactive measures to resolve community issues, both in urban and rural areas.

Yasmin Umar, the Minister of Energy and Industry responded by detailing government initiatives to strengthen cooperatives, especially those led by youth, through training and partnerships with ANGKASA to foster collaborative growth and business development.

Students, educational institutions, foreign embassies, and the general public were all very interested in the first event, which highlighted the traditional ways of life and distinctive cultural legacy of different ethnic groups.
