Education
Abdul Manaf was born in October 1966 and holds a Bruneian nationality.[1] He graduated from University of Leeds with honours degree in mechanical engineering and later earned his Master of Science degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from the University of Bradford.[2] Moreover, he obtained a PhD in Management from Canterbury Business School.[2]
Political career
On 4 May 2016, Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) appointed him as the director of the company.[1] In a speech during the 10th Heart of Borneo Trilateral Meeting in Brunei, Abdul Manaf urged the business sector to support ecotourism and biodiversity through the HoB Initiative. The idea of attaining sustainable development among HoB member nations is one of the topics covered during the summit, which lasts from 4 to 7 September.[3] He was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Finance and Economy on September 20, 2018, and participated in an oath-taking ceremony later that year on October 2.[4] Later on January 4, 2021, Abdul Manaf was appointed as the Chairman of RBA after an announcement made by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.[5][6] Due to the cabinet's reshuffling on 7 June 2022, he has been newly appointed to replace Ali Apong as the Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism.[7]
On October 26, 2022, through video conference, Dato Abdul Manaf attended the 44th Meeting of the ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry (the 44th AMAF Meeting). In light of COVID-19's effects, the Minister emphasized the significance of ASEAN's attention to economic recovery and digital economy integration, particularly with regard to issues relating to food crises, increases in the price of food and agricultural inputs, which have resulted in an increase in the cost of logistics and production.[8]
The Mandatory Reporting Directive, which would be implemented at the end of 2022 and require Brunei's major stakeholders to disclose their emissions to the Brunei Climate Change Secretariat, was one of the measures Abdul Manaf proposed for Brunei at the international level. In terms of ASEAN, through this project and with the assistance of the UN Secretariat, Brunei and the Philippines have had the chance to jointly develop the ASEAN Climate Finance Strategy's framework.[9]

Abdul Manaf is married to Datin Paduka Dr Hjh Norlila Dato Hj Abdul Jalil, former Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Health.
