Brunei Darussalam's efforts to support Persons with Different Abilities, OKU, include not only the actions that have been implemented, but also provide a basis for broader actions. Among them are education: The right to learn and develop, Empowering Jobs and the Economy, and Strengthening Commitment. As a country guided by the principles of social equality and shared prosperity, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports urged on all sectors including the public, private, corporate and grassroots sectors, to be more sensitive to the needs of OKU.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of Brunei Darussalam's First National Conference for OKU, Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Haji Awang Nazmi bin Haji Awang Mohamad said efforts do not just stop at providing allowances, but changing systems and mindsets as well as hearts. Yang Berhormat said the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, supports long-term programmes such as inclusive vocational training, social entrepreneurship schemes and community-driven initiatives under the Fund for Persons With Different Abilities, TOKU. The opening ceremony took place at the International Convention Centre in Berakas.
