His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah is warning Bruneian's via a Titah to be frugal as they celebrate Hari Raya, a celebration that marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.

This coming from a man who has no understanding of the world "frugal".

Listed by Forbes in their top 100 Richest people in the world and recorded as having the largest private collection of Rolls Royce marques, the infallible Sultan is wanting Bruneians to keep a tight rein on their spending.

Brunei is a developing nation ranked 45th in the world per capita GDP and with a population of less than 400,000 people it's hardly a poor country.

So why the Titah? Maybe the oil price slump is beginning to have an effect!
