Sheikh Ahmad M. Azahari bin Sheikh Mahmud (28 August 1928 – 30 May 2002), better known as A. M. Azahari, was a Bruneian politician, businessman and nationalist who fought against Dutch colonialism in the Dutch East Indies, the chairman of the Parti Rakyat Brunei (Brunei People's Party) from 1947 to 1962, and the Prime Minister of the North Borneo Federation in 1962. Having trained under the Japanese, Azahari elevated Brunei's political opposition to colonialism to unprecedented levels. After serving as an anti-colonialist soldier in Java, he returned in 1952 and became the catalyst for the Brunei revolt against British colonial interests. During the 20th century, he was arguably the most charismatic politician in Brunei. He was an instrument of Indonesian imperialism and is known to have publicly opposed Brunei's admission into the Federation of Malaysia.
