    Besides it is stated that Sharia law would not be for non Muslim tourists so it wont effect them unlike Saudi.

    Yes but you still don't get alcohol in Brunei, so not really a place I would go for holiday...
    I simply can't separate holiday and beers.

    If Brunei is running out of oil then they are going in wrong direction so to speak. When Dubai/Bahrain ran out of oil they became comparatively liberal and open, bars, cinema, entertainment et al.
    Heck all those young sauds drive down to Bahrain every weekend for some RnR.

    Weren't some brits (heterosexuals) incarcerated in UAE last year for kissing on the beach? Yeah, sure. Sharia law only for muslims, unless the vice police think otherwise.

    I think you'll find they were actually having sex in public, which is liable to get you incarcerated pretty much anywhere in the world if you're human (though fine for any other species for some reason).

    That did happen but people have been jailed for just kissing also.

    a bit like pissing and shitting on the street. Completely fine to let your dog do it but if a human does it it's a 'dirty mainlander'...
