Yahya Ibrahim
[1] In the mid-1970s, Yahya, along with Zain Serudin and Amin Abdul Rahim, played a pivotal role in updating Brunei's religious primary school curriculum and textbooks.Yahya stressed that in addition to fulfilling religious duties, Syariah law upheld the Melayu Islam Beraja philosophy as the foundational ideal for Bruneians.The event featured a syair performance, the recitation of Surah Al-Faatihah, and the presentation of a token of appreciation to Yahya for his years of dedication.He noted that the book serves not only as a reference but also as a crucial resource for students and scholars seeking to understand the nation's history from a local perspective.On 15 June 2022, the Language and Literature Bureau, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, organised the third edition of the Multaqa Anugerah Sastera Mastera: Memoir Muslim Burmat.[16][17] His works frequently explore Brunei's historical experiences during the British and Japanese occupations, emphasising the resilience and spirit of the nation as it progressed towards independence.His poetry serves not only as a means of preserving Brunei's heritage but also as a source of inspiration, fostering a sense of national pride and belonging.
