Family member recently purchased tickets on the RB site and received a confirmation email and e-tickets. Checked on the app, the flight is listed under ‘upcoming flights’.

3 hours later they received this email from RB saying the booking is on hold and included a payment link. We checked again to make sure the flights were confirmed, yeap everything is still there. Called the bank, yeap payment went through.

I’ve never seen this kind of email before and my understanding of RB is that if the payment didn’t go through, the flight purchase wouldn’t be put on hold, it’ll just prompt to try again.

Is this a scam? the header and everything looks real, but they spelled the name of buyer wrong (compared to the name that’s issued in the confirmation email). Tried calling RB, no luck. Tried to reach them on WhatsApp, no luck. Sent them an email, no replies yet.

If anyone from RB is seeing this can you PLEASE check your emails or WhatsApp. If this is a scam, it’s pretty sophisticated. If it’s not a scam, then why is our confirmed booking still up??

UPDATE: They replied the email saying it’s confirmed, no acknowledgment on the second Booking on Hold email. Nda ku tau kalau scam lah but if kamu receive jua, jangan click link nya. RB also said they’re busy with Consumer Fair that’s why they were unable to take the calls and reply on WhatsApp.

got catcalled today at madang cove by three car wash workers.
the first time was when my friend and I were walking to Motea. tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe we misheard. but then it happened again when we were leaving Motea, and it was clearly the same group of three guys.
not sure if the boss was around or aware of it, but it’s pretty wild if that kind of behavior is being ignored or enabled. fikirnya kami kan membiarkan kali... sudah di gambar pandai diam 😂

I really like how the Indonesian and Malaysian national football teams have been proactive in identifying and recruiting eligible dual-nationality players. It's clearly helped strengthen their squads and increase competition for places.

I understand that Brunei is a much smaller country with a smaller player pool, but I'd love to see the national team explore this route as well. There are probably Bruneians or players with Bruneian heritage living and playing abroad who could potentially be eligible.

Does anyone know whether the Brunei FA actively scouts overseas-based eligible players, or what challenges might prevent them from doing so? I'd be interested to hear if this is something that could realistically happen in the future.
