Alison Langdon of the program "60 Minutes" goes to Brunei with posing as a tourist to see how regimes affect their citizens and spoke with a woman who had been a Sultan's harem (mistresses) to reveal the hypocrisy of the present conditions.
"We tried for six months to gain access and permission to visit Brunei in order to talk with the Sultan, but it was rejected, so in the end we decided to go as a tourist," said Langdon.

Langdon said, the crew "60 Minutes" spent five days in Brunei. They secretly record, trying to figure out if people feel angry about the new changes. However, they actually found that citizens seem apathetic toward Sharia Law.
Brunei has a population of more than 415,000 people and, according to Forbes magazine, the country is the fifth richest country in the world thanks to huge oil and gas reserves.
Brunei citizens enjoy free health care and education, mostly working in the public sector and none of them criticized the royal family because they are not allowed for it.
When crew of "60 Minutes" go there, they have trouble finding people who are willing to say anything bad whatsoever related to the royal family.
Hollywood celebrities who are fed up with the hypocrisy of the Royal family of Brunei, last year, Hollywood stars, such as Ellen DeGeneres, Jay Leno, Sharon Osborne, Elton John, and entrepreneur Richard Branson, boycotted the famous Beverly Hills Hotel and the luxury Dorchester hotel chain owned by Sultan Brunei as a form of their displeasure. They all promised to shift their business events elsewhere. According to Vanity Fair magazine last year, that attitude is applied by Hollywood celebs.
Langdon said, "Brunei is a really strange place. No one knows about what Sultan and his brother had done. The citizens do not know about the life of royal family, women, sex acts, drinking alcohol and everything, They really do not know anything about it."
