Dato Seri Setia Haji Abdul Mokti bin Haji Mohd Daud is a Bruneian retired politician and diplomat who served as the Minister at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) from 2018 to 2022. Additionally, he is among the board of directors of the Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam (AMBD).[1]

Diplomatic career

From 1994 to 1995, he was also the chargé d'affaires high commissioner to Bangladesh.[2][3] On 16 October 1997, at the Ashok Hall of Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, Dato Abdul Mokti, the High Commissioner-Designate of Brunei to India, presented his credentials to President K. R. Narayanan.[4]

The Sultan received letters of appointment from three newly appointed foreign envoys to the nation, including Abdul Mokti, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Brunei to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and handed letters of credentials to five new Brunei ambassadors on 12 April 2006.[5]

Ministerial career

On 9 January 2019, Dato Abdul Mokti demanded that the Public Works Department reassess how it fulfills its mandates and adds value in areas like the department's framework projects, leadership development, succession planning, auditing of human resources, planning of training requirements for the public sector, and work ethics, discipline, and integrity.[6]

Position freezes are no longer frozen at the moment, in addition to filling vacancies with extreme caution during the ongoing conversation between the PMO and the ministries is one of the actions that have been done, he revealed on 13 September 2019.[7]

COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 affected the development of the ASEAN Community. Due to the worldwide shutdown, ASEAN's information sector not only became a crucial source of data but also had the duty to ensure that the information provided was accurate and timely. Abdul Mokti made this statement on 12 March 12, 2021, while participating by video conference in the 15th Conference of the ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (15th AMRI) and Related Meetings, which was held at the PMO.[8]

According to Dato Abdul Mokti on 26 February 2022, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has continued to have an influence on national budgetary allocation and revenue, which has unavoidably made it more difficult for the country to implement its plans for a sustainable economy and fiscal balance.[9] According to Abdul Mokti, digital transformation activities have assumed a significant role and have drawn increased attention, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic where they have been stepped up.[10]

On 7 June 2022, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah announced the replacement of some Cabinet ministers and the retention of others. Dato Abdul Mokti would be replaced as PMO Minister by Pehin Dato Halbi.[11]
