Brunei not represented in Beijing Oylmpics 2008

One can only guess what was the reason for Brunei not participating in the Olympics this year. But I leave that to those who knows and those who digress and make the excuses for such a sad thing to happen. I can only feel for those Bruneian athletes who was so looking forward and training for it and only to be cancelled.
An event that only occurs every four years, its a dream of all athletes the world over to participate in these kind of events. The Olympic Slogan " One world, one dream", just says it all as the Beijing Olympics 2008 is represented by 204 countries barring Brunei.
The opening ceremony was an absolutely grand affair, the amount of effort, the manpower, the discipline, the skills, the might, the pyrotechnics, the firework displays were all absolutely astounding and a sight to behold. It would be a tough affair to top that when Great Britain hosts the 2012 Olympics in London, England.
