However, we also disagree with this statement because due to the rebellion happening because of forced labor and slavery of the dayaks, women and children from Pengiran Indera Mahkota, James Brooke felt a need to save the declining Malay economy and save the locals from all the unnecessary taxes and slavery that was becoming overboard by the time. Also, due to the hesitation that was shown by Pengiran Muda Hashim of his promise to James Brooke, James Brooke felt livid and loaded 'The royalist' and went over to the palace and blackmailed the Sultan into giving him the governor ship of Sarawak. Thus, due to the intense pressure caused by James Brooke, an agreement was signed on 24 September 1841 with terms and conditions applied. In conclusion, the reason of British Intervention in Brunei didn't only happen because of Pengiran Muda Hashim but also many reasons that did not involve his doings and this didn't happen intentionally as it was beyond his control and power to stop it because by the time the promise was made, it was too late to go back.

However, Pengiran Muda Hashim was not the only reason. At that time, Brunei was already weak. There were many problems and conflict. The British saw Brunei as a good place to increase their trading and power. The British wanted to be more powerful and important in Southeast Asia. Pengiran Indera Mahkota was also the reason. He mistreated the local people and force them to work without payment. This caused a rebellion against Pengiran Indera Mahkota. Due to Pengiran Indera Mahkota's failure to restore law and order in Sarawak, the sultan sent Pengiran Muda Hashim to assist.

In conclusion, without Pengiran Muda Hashim's help, Brooke would not have gained power. So, Pengiran Muda Hashim was the main reason British Intervention started.

I also disagree that Pengiran Muda Hashim was the reason for the start of British because the rebellion against Pengiran Indera Mahkota,the Governor of Sarawak.The rebellion was closely related to antimony,a natural resource that had been discovered in Sarawak in 1824 and become an economic source for the people.This led to Sarawak increasing in the eyes of the Brunei Sultan.Pengiran Indera Mahkota was immediately resented by the Sarawak people who had been autonomously administered by a local chieftain.Moreover Pengiran Indera Mahkota mistreated the local people and forced them to work without payment called forced labor. Pengiran Indera Mahkota failed to restore law and order in Sarawak. So Omar Ali Saifuddien ll sent Pengiran Bendahara in 1836 to assist Pengiran indera Mahkota to end the rebellion.

The second reason is because of James Brooke becoming the Rajah of Sarawak. During 1846, James Brooke kept pressuring the Sultan to sign an additional agreement with him. For this reason, Brunei lost territories from Tanjung Datu to Samarahan River. This treaty marked the beginning of the loss of Brunei territories to the British.

In conclusion, I agree that Pengiran Muda Hashim was the reason for the start of British intervention in Brunei. If he didn't make the promise from the start, James Brooke wouldn't have became the Governorship of Sarawak and steal Brunei's territories.

However,we also disagree with the statement, as Pengiran Indera Mahkota was also one of the reason why British intervened in Brunei. James Brooke saw an opportunity when he found out Pengiran Indera Mahkota mistreated the locals by forced labor to reach maximum profit from antimony mines. This led to an outbreak of a local rebellion against Pengiran Indera Mahkota. That made the Sultan send Pengiran Muda Hashim to end the rebellion but he couldn't, he had no choice but to seek help from James Brooke.

However, I agree that Pengiran Muda Hashim was the reason because, Pengiran Muda Hashim carelessly promised the role governorship of Sarawak to a foreigner who is not familiar with the Brunei laws and religion which was James Brooke. Pengiran Muda Hashim also offered the role to James Brooke without the Sultan's comfirmation and validation. Few months go by in April 1841 and Pengiran Muda Hashim still haven't fulfilled his promised to James Brooke. James Brooke lost patience and threatened the Sultan Palace with his ''Royalist''. This led to the Sultan forcefully appointed James Brooke as the Governor of sarawak on 1st August 1842.

In conclusion, it was not partially Pengiran Muda Hashim's fault because he wasnt the only one who was involved in the British intervention in Brunei.

However we also disagree with this statement because PIM was also the reason for British intervention involvement in Brunei. While PMH did invite the British to help with internal problems , PIM thought this was a big mistake. He believed that letting the British into Brunei's affairs would weaken the country and take away its independence, especially from people like JB, who later took control of Sarawak. Back in 1839, PIM was the Governor of Sarawak and was hated by the Sarawak people because he treated the people unfairly. Moreover, PIM forced them to work without payment and pay taxes. This made Brunei can gained economic control over the locals and natives. On top of that, PIM failed to bring back law and Brunei's system. He felt that this kind of intervention would cause more problems, making Brunei lose its power and control.

In conclusion, instead of blaming Pengiran Muda Hashim alone, Pengiran Indera Mahkota was also the reason why the British involvement in Brunei happened. Both of them had a political conflict that making them unable to end the rebellion themselves.

However, I also disagree, Pengiran Muda Hashim did not start the British intervention and it was not completely his fault due to the fact the locals had been working on finding antimony relentlessly without any rest or payment in return, Pengiran Indera Mahkota had started the rebellion in the first place. He also had a disagreement with Pengiran Indera Mahkota in 1836, leading to difficulty to end the rebellion.

In conclusion, although I agree Pengiran Muda Hashim had some part for the start of British intervention in Brunei, it wasn't completely his fault as Pengiran Indera Mahkota had also contributed to this problem by not wanting to help end the rebellion he had started.
