Pengiran Anak Haji Khamis (died 1986), also referred to as Pengiran Anak Kamis,[1] was a Bruneian nobleman and politician who formerly held several high-ranking positions which included being a member of the Privy Council, and the Islamic Religious Council. He is the non-gahara (pure royal lineage) son of Sultan Hashim Jalilul Alam Aqamaddin, therefore does not carry the title Prince (Pengiran Muda).[2]

Career

Within a 1960 Colonial Office List, Pengiran Anak Khamis was first noted to be a member of the Privy Council to Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III.[3] [4] On 10 April 1967, he was among the Bruneian hajj pilgrims to arrive at Jeddah, via Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.[5] He would assume royal duties during ceremonial and national events after becoming a member of cheteria, and later a wazir in 1971.[6]

Personal life

Pengiran Anak Khamis was married to Pengiran Khadija. He is the half brother of Sultan Muhammad Jamalul Alam II, this is because he was not the son of his father's recognised queen consort, Pengiran Isteri Pengiran Siti Fatimah.

On 8 September 1963, Pengiran Anak Khamis lost his granddaughter Dayangku Normala at her home in Kampong Sungai Kianggeh, followed by all nationwide flags flown half mast on the next day in condolences.[7]
