British Forces Brunei (BFB) is the name given to the British Armed Forces presence in Brunei. Since the handover ceremony of Hong Kong in 1997, the garrison in Brunei is the only remaining British military base in the Far East (and one of only two East of Suez, along with Diego Garcia).〔(British Army Deployments ) - Retrieved 20 April 2007〕 ==History==
The BFB garrison came about in 1959, when British troops were moved there from Singapore to quell a revolt against Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III .〔(Brunei Garrison Homepage ) - Retrieved 19 December 2013〕 From there, British forces have been involved in several conflicts, including helping to quell the Brunei Revolt of 1962 and the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation. Since Brunei's independence in 1984, forces have been stationed there at the request of the current Sultan, in a renewable agreement lasting five years at a time. The forces stationed in Brunei are available to assist the Sultan,〔(Royal Gurkha Rifles Homepage )〕 but are also available for deployment overseas with other elements of the British Armed Forces if needed. As recompense, the Sultan pays to help support the British presence.〔(Brunei a throwback to an age of absolute monarchy ), David Eimer, ''Daily Telegraph'', 27 October 2013〕
