Poklen
Poklen (Puak Lame or Falkland) is a group of people who dress the latest fashion and copy the style such as their favourite artist, mostly from Korea (K-Pop) which is not suitable to them. It also have their own style of speaking to each other and it is believed that Poklen is originated from Venice of The East (Not all, but just some of them). Poklen is also a word that seems to get used rather a lot in Brunei is to describe someone who is unsophisticated, a kind of 'country bumpkin'. Maybe the Singapore equivalent is a-beng. The common people of a society or region considered as the representatives of a traditional way of life and especially as the originators or carriers of the customs, beliefs, and arts that make up a distinctive culture. Basically Poklen has more or less the same meaning as Kunu (Stone age or merely do not know anything), Sakai (First time see the things and act like they know it and know how to do it), etc. The only difference is that Kunu and Sakai are adjectives and although Poklen can be used as an adjective, it is more often used as a noun.

The rise of Poklen was in Mid 2005 where all of the Bruneians during that time are able to surf and chat called "mIRC" where people used to chat there before they migrated to MSN Messenger in the late 2007. In order to get more attention in the chatroom, they developed the words such as Bye into Vye, Miss into Mish etc. In the late 2008, they brought their own culture to the next level which is creating a profile on Facebook and establishing a seriously non-profit organisation for youth. They create Facebook is just want to get more attention from people about their life being a Poklen. This may sounds like a normal person but it differs from Poklen where sometimes they show the bad habit and expose it to Facebook. They also create few groups on Facebook and invite random peoples on Facebook. There are few groups that I know so far. In this recent years, Poklen stepped to another level by setting up Instagram accounts.

Poklen set a date (usually on weekends after the payday) to gather with their members. The Poklens always gathering together at The Mall, Gadong, Behind the KFC Restaurant, in front of the Longkang Besar in the afternoon. Some of them are chatting, looking for love, dating, showing their new styles and get praised, fight and vandalism. They always punch the plastic socket to show their strength, feels like Genji in Crow Zero and who is the strongest in that particular will be the ruling the group for few months.

How to identify Poklen
Poklen can be identify from their way of speaking and dressing in ridiculous ways; have numbers or ludicrous fake names as their Facebook display name; form cliques or groups with absurd names on Facebook; normally dress in coloured skinny jeans, usually along with plaid shirts; think they are cool but just plainly are not. A Poklen with proper grammar is absolutely rare.

Meanwhile in Facebook, you can recognise them by looking their Facebook name such as:

Poklen also can be identify from the way of dressing such as wearing shades or sunglasses inside the shopping complexes, wearing skinny jeans, looks like a fail punk. This can be seen at The Mall, Gadong in Brunei Darussalam. Logically thinking, there is no any sunshine in that particular shopping mall except it that person have sore eyes or blind.
