Bahar ibni Jefri Bolkiah (born 20 August 1981) is a member of the royal family of Brunei. He is the second son and third child of Prince Jefri Bolkiah by his first wife, Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Norhayati, thus making him a prince of Brunei. He is regarded as one of Southeast Asia's top polo players.[1]

Early life

Prince Bahar Bolkiah was born in Brunei on 20 August 1981 as the third child and second son of Paduka Seri Pengiran Di-Gadong Shahibul Maal Pengiran Muda Haji Jefri Bolkiah Ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Omar 'Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi Waddien and Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Norhayati binti Almarhum Pengiran Jaya Negara Pengiran Haji Abdul Rahman. His elder brother, Pengiran Muda Abdul Hakeem was born on 13 June 1973. His elder sister, Pengiran Anak Hamidah Jamalul Bolkiah was born on 26 April 1977.

Career

Sports career

During the 2017 SEA Games polo competition at the Putrajaya Equestrian Park, Brunei beat Singapore 10–8 to win the bronze medal on 28 August 2017. Prince Bahar, the captain of the Brunei team and a player with a handicap of 2, was the team's star, contributing eight of the team's ten points while colleague Huzaimi Mahari scored two, winning him the title of "Most Valuable Player" for the competition.[1] When approached by media following the game, he said that his team's performance had much improved and that they had performed better.[2]

The polo team from Brunei recovered from the disappointment of losing the 4-6 high goal final to take home bronze at the 2019 SEA Games on 1 December in Calatagan, Batangas. Following their successes in the previous tournament in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, two years ago, he won a second consecutive polo bronze medal. In the opening chukka, Indonesia took a 2–0 lead until Prince Bahar, the game-winning penalty taker for the Philippines, cut the score in half. He scored twice, including in the last 34 seconds of the third chukka, to help Brunei mount a comeback.[3][4]

Business career

Princess Azemah and Prince Muda Bahar launched Shine Brunei. To raise the bar in the country's local fitness sector and promote the health and welfare of the country, they wanted to make this form of boutique training available to Bruneians as well. In the nation, Shine Cycle is the only authentic cycling boutique; its doors first opened in February 2018.[5]

Marriage

Prince Bahar and Princess Azemah were wed in Istana Nurul Iman. An Islamic ceremony in the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque, a Royal Powdering Ceremony, and a banquet at the Sultan's palace were just a few of the activities that took place during the wedding's week-long celebration.[6] At the palace's Balai Singgahsana Indera Buana, they held their Berbedak Pengantin Diraja ceremony, according to all royal traditions.[7] The royal families of Pahang and Johor as well as the mother of the bride were present.[8]
