Press freedom and Territorial disputes

Brunei has been given "Not Free" status by Freedom House; press criticism of the government and monarchy is rare.[2]



Brunei claims territory in Sarawak, such as Limbang, and it is one of many nations to lay claim to the disputed Spratly Islands. Several small islands situated between Brunei and Labuan, including Kuraman island, are contested between Brunei and Malaysia. However, they are internationally recognised as part of the latter.
