It's a little puzzling to me why the Sultan of Brunei awarded the vast majority of his lands to an English adventurer in 1841...
So a century later - after WW2 - the successor of that adventurer sold his kingdom to the British crown. Could the Sultan of Brunei make a bid for it?
- Was the Sultan of Brunei rich enough to do that then?
- Would the British object to this or would it be po-tay-to po-tah-to considering that Brunei was a British protectorate?
- Would the subjects of Sarawak welcome this?
