I am unclear what point is being made in the Anon comment 13.11.?
Brunei has since 1984 by its ruler's own choice been a member of the United Nations (as are many other countries whose principal religion is Islam) and as such is bound to uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

As regards Anon 18.17: It is not suggested that the colonial criminal law has caused a previously tolerant society to adopt a prejudiced approach to some of its members. The point is that a colonial law has contributed towards and supported a attitude of mind that regards homosexuality as intrinsically wrong and a moral failing rather than undermining that view.Two strands of thought derived from different sources have thus mutually reinforced each other.
