Culture defines us

Hello there fellow readers! Today is 31st of December which marks the end of 2007.  Say hello to 2008 and goodbye to 2007. Anyway, that is not my reason of blogging tonight for I am here to share with you our very own culture. 

As you all know, Brunei is quite similar to Malaysia and Singapore in a way; our country is multiracial. Brunei consists of Malay and Chinese in majority and Indian and indigenous Malay as minority groups. In other words, we celebrate different kinds of festivals here throughout the year.



Nevertheless, Brunei is adopted to a national philosophy called Melayu Islam Beraja (Malay Islamic Monarchy). It is a blend of Malay language, culture and Malay customs, the teaching of Islamic laws and values and the monarchy system which must be esteemed and practiced by all. That is why all Bruneians are known for their politeness, respectful manners and discipline.
