Signature

Isa bin Ibrahim (born 9 February 1935) is a Bruneian aristocrat, civil servant and lawyer. He served as Brunei's second deputy menteri besar (chief minister) from 1970 to 1972, minister of home affairs from 1986 to 2005, and was appointed speaker of the Legislative Council of Brunei (LegCo) from 2011 to 2015 before becoming the minister at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) from 2018. Additionally, he has been serving as special adviser to Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah since 1971.

Once a close associate of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III, Isa is a highly respected and influential Bruneian aristocrat. He maintains a similar relationship with the sultan's son and successor, Hassanal Bolkiah. He became Brunei's first British-educated scholar and its first barrister-at-law upon being called to the bar at Middle Temple, London, in 1962.
