Abstract:
Dato Setia John Peel, who died at his London home on Saturday 8 May 2004 aged nearly ninety-two, was the first post-war British Resident (administrator) in Brunei, taking up his duties officially on 6 July 1946, which, coincidentally, was only a few days before the birth (15 July) of the present monarch. His Majesty Sultan Sir Hassanal Bolkiah. Sir John always enjoyed excellent relations with His Majesty’s father, the late Seri Begawan Sultan. Peel was instrumental in the latter’s installation as Pengiran Bendahara in 1947; and the friendship, which endured long after Peel had left the colonial service,was rewarded with not one, but two, dato titles (DSLJ 1969, DSNB 1971).
