BRUNEI has the potential to be a hub for Islamic human capital development due to the nation's strong Islamic image and years of strong interest in Islamic management and Islamic economics, a management expert said.
Dato' Aidit Ghazali, executive chairman of Malaysian consultancy firm Akademi Aidit Sdn Bhd, said that Brunei is a very fertile ground for the development of this sector as the Sultanate is very receptive to Islamic management and leadership precepts.
"Aside from the majority of its population being Muslims, Brunei is an Islamic country that is still shielded from many (negative effects) of development and progress as experienced by other Muslim countries," he told The Brunei Times.
