“…Amid the coronavirus pandemic, a sense of togetherness has been evident in collective and socially collaborative efforts to curb COVID-19. In this respect, local and foreign commentators (Kon, 2020a;Khan, 2020;Ho, 2020b) have attributed Brunei's success to a coordinated ministerial approach that they characterize as an 'aggressive strategy of proactive measures' (Bodetti, 2020) that has resulted in its flattened curve.

This paper examines the national solidarity in Brunei Darussalam during the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequential impact on younger generations. Utilising Emile Durkheim's solidarity theories, I examine how young people's social media use builds on state discourse in the pandemic. I contend that a shift towards an organic society is visible through a social cohesion that is based on differentiated roles. I argue that the citizenry plays a vital role in the forward momentum toward Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0, which illustrates that solidarity cannot be forged as a top-down directive. By prompting economic and creative divisions of labour, the local use of social media in a public health crisis has shown the government a new way to foster solidarity. Significant implications for youth as future leaders of the nation are discussed.
