Who was Prince Haji ‘Abdul’ Azim of Brunei?
Azim was born on 29 July 1982. He took his educational degrees from International School Brunei, Raffles Institution, and Oxford Brookes University.
Prince Azim was known for his affection towards the autistic people. In 2013, in a popular speech at the 2nd ASEAN Autism Network (AAN) Congress, he urged that appropriate support be given to families with autistic family members.
Apart from charity, he also had his interests in the Hollywood movie industry. He had investments in the London-based film company Daryl Prince Productions, that produced You’re Not You.
