On 8 December 1962, Partai Rakyat Brunei (PRB) led by A.M. Azahari led a rebellion against Brunei Government because of Brunei's intention to join Malaysia. The rebellion was later crushed and PRB were defeated. On July 1963, a year after the revolt, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III made the decision that Brunei was not to join Malaysia.

Famous quotes containing the word revolt:
“O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
That life, a very rebel to my will,
May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart
Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder
And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
Forgive me in thine own particular,
But let the world rank me in register
A master-leaver and a fugitive.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
