Pengiran Muhammad Ali bin Pengiran Haji Muhammad Daud[1] (4 October 1916 – 16 June 2005), simply known as Pengiran Ali, was a Bruneian nobleman, teacher and politician whom formerly held the position of Deputy Menteri Besar from 1962 to 1965, Legislative, Executive, and Privy Councils. He emphasised the significant impact he played in Brunei's history, notably from the 1950s to 1960s, and was also the first of the "three M's" that the British government dreaded (Pengiran Mohamed Yusuf Rahim and Marsal Maun were the other two).[2]
