Career

In c.1974, Roderick Yong was the Special Superintendent of Literature,[5] a Senior Specialist Inspector of the School Inspectorate Department in c.1979,[6] and Brunei's Directorate of School Inspectorate in c.1984.[7] The ASEAN Foreign Ministers chose him as the successor to Phan Wannamethee,[8] secretary-general for three years, beginning on 16 July 1986, at the ensuing 19th ASEAN Ministerial Meeting in Manila in June 1986.[9][10] He was formerly a top official in Brunei's Ministry of Education,[11][12] and a Special Duties Officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time of his appointment.[13]

The Sultanate, whose secrets had few practical repercussions, was able to play at pleasing its Southeast Asian neighbors without losing face thanks to the nomination of Roderick Yong in 1986.[14] The seventh ASEAN Economic Ministers' meeting on energy cooperation took place there on 7 to 8 April 1988. In Roderick Yong's presence, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah declared the meeting to be open.[15]
