culture of the conservative
society of Brunei. Officially
Brunei is a Muslim country;
hence Islam is practiced
largely in Brunei. The Muslims
generally follow conservative
Brunei attire. Brunei women

apparels. The dresses usually
cover their body from head to
toe. The Muslim women in
Brunei wear a head scarf in
public places and in
government offices but
scarves not applicable to the
Non-Muslim women. Muslim
men follow the formal dress
code in government offices
and public places.

17. MEETING ETIQUETTE

and the age of the person.
 In general, many men you meet will have adopted the
western concept of shaking hands, although this is not
always the case with older Bruneians or with women.
 Ethnic Malay men shake hands with one another, but
men and women do not traditionally shake hands.
 Younger Bruneians may shake hands with foreign
women or they may merely bow their head in greeting.
 It is considered respectful to bow your head when
someone who is senior to yourself in age or position.

anything else which is not ‘halal’.

item is large.
 Gifts are generally not opened when received.

19. DINING ETIQUETTE

their homes.

great honour and testament to your personal

little late without causing offense.
 Shoes are generally removed before entering a house.

 It is considered good manners to accept an offer of
food or a beverage. Turning down hospitality may be
viewed as personal rejection.

the center of the table.

21. In Brunei festivals are
always celebrated
with color, enthusiasm
and happiness. Young
and old from different
races come together
in a spirit of unity that
we are justifiably
proud of.

22. Hari Raya is a time for celebration after the fasting month
of Ramadhan. Prayers are held in the early morning of the
first day at every mosque in the country. This day is usually
an occasion for. The second day normally means open
house; an invitation for all to visit. Special festive dishes are
made, including ketupat (rice cakes), satay (beef and
chicken kebabs), rendang (spicy marinated beef) and
many others.
His Majesty the Sultan also throws his doors open to the
people at the Istana Nurul Iman. This gives the people and
visitors a chance to meet His Majesty and other members
of the Royal Family, in order to wish them Selamat Hari
Raya Aidilfitri. This is defintely an offer which should not be
missed. When visiting, we should dress conservatively.

23. The formation of the Royal Brunei Armed
Forces is commemorated every year on the
31st of May, and the event usually takes place
at the Taman Haji Sir Omar Ali Saifuddien in
the heart of the city. It consists of a military
parade and displays, such as a parachuting
show or battle demonstration. In other districts,
units of the armed forces organize local
parades and displays for the public.

24. The day is celebrated on 15th of July
This joyous occasion is one of the most important
events in the national calendar, with events and
festivities taking place across the whole country. It
usually starts when the people gather at the Taman
Haji Sir Muda OmarAli Saifuddien, in the centre of
Bandar Seri Begawan. His Majesty meets his subjects
there and delivers a titah, or speech, to mark the
occasion. Afterwards there is an investiture at the
Istana Nurul Iman and, for the next two weeks or so,
a series of processions, parades and celebrations.
Fireworks displays take place and night markets -
pasar malam - open up to sell food and drinks to
the crowds.
