The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Brunei Darussalam expresses profound sorrow over the passing of former President Lee Teng-hui on the evening of July 30. On behalf of the government, this office extends sincere gratitude to the local community of Brunei for the messages of sympathy and condolences.

Dr. Lee Teng-hui served as the seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-term President of the Republic of China (Taiwan), making historic contributions to Taiwan’s democratic transformation and consolidation of the country’s democratic system. During his tenure, former President Lee completed Taiwan’s constitutional reforms, implemented comprehensive reelection of the national legislature, and instituted direct presidential elections. In 1996, Dr. Lee became the first democratically elected President. Under his leadership, Taiwan successfully transformed into a model of democracy in Asia. Former President Lee was widely lauded as “Mr. Democracy” for these great historic achievements.

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Brunei Darussalam has opened a book of condolence.
The book will remain open for people to sign and leave messages from 09:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. (E)
