Alternative to Malaysia - BRUNEI PEOPLE'S PARTY


A parade for Brunei People's Party-c.1958

BPP had 99% Bruneian support and won all elective seats in August 1962 Legislative Assembly elections. 

BPP made 3 demands for independence as the alternative to Malaysia. But it was sidelined by the British, leading to the Dec 8 1962 anti-Malaysia Uprising. It is estimated every family has a member involved in the Uprising.
