AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Sukumara Kurup Probe: Kerala’s Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala ordered its Crime Branch to verify fresh claims that fugitive Sukumara Kurup is alive in Brunei under a fake identity, with Interpol coordination planned—after a viral passport/photo link triggered the investigation. Identity Twist: Hours later, Kerala relatives identified the man in the circulated Brunei-linked photo as Thrissur’s Damodara Menon, saying it is not Kurup; police say they will continue a detailed inquiry and Damodara reportedly told them he is unwell and seeking legal action. Brunei Tourism Push: Brunei will showcase its coffee, matcha and tourism experiences at Sabah International Expo in Kota Kinabalu (Sept 4–6), featuring the Brunei Coffee Trail and a Visit Brunei Year 2027 roadshow. Cost of Living: Brunei’s CPI rose 0.02% in July year-on-year, driven by higher food and non-alcoholic beverage prices, while non-food prices fell. Sports Leadership: Mohammad Shukri was re-elected president of the Brunei Darussalam Teqball Association for 2026–2028, with plans to expand tournaments and talent pathways. Tech Business: Concepts Technologies won ManageEngine’s “Emerging Partner of the Year” for its work supporting ManageEngine adoption in Brunei. Regional Security Watch: Vietnam protested new Chinese construction in the Paracels, where Brunei is among regional claimants.
