suitable for everyone, however, it is a matter of how

we deliver it.

3) Does this project need to go for further Does this project need to go for further

researchresearch:

• Yes.

Conclusion

• Preservation of historical sites in Brunei is lacking and there from this project we hope that preservation will be keep our heritage culture to avoid extinction.

• This project can be improve further provided that time is extended for further research with proper equipment and funding, more access to information.
