Treasure Hunters

A sign showing work is ongoing in search of more resources for Brunei ‘s future. Oil is not an infinite resource. The current oil will dry out eventually, if not soon. For that whatever wealth that has been bestowed to the country should not be taken for granted to last for ever. We should make ever effort to spend wisely.

The sign indicates location of a large base camp nearby, housing over a thousands workers, conducting surveys in the jungle of Tutong. It would be a serious understatement to try to describe how challenging the work involve. Not only do these guys have to trek through the thick jungles and rugged terrains, the presence of wild and nasty animals would already make the job quite unattractive to a Bruneian.
