BRUNEI-GREEN JEWEL


Brunei Darussalam is a peaceful and an Islamic Sultanate, the country is still covered in dense vegetation, but with its mineral resources of oil and gas Brunei has become one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Brunei Darussalam has lost none of its traditions and is proud of its culture and heritage. Their heritage is rooted in the way they follow the principles of Malay Muslim Monarchy. The Malay Muslim Monarchy is an idealogy on which are founded all the basic values of Bruneians such as their religion, family, respect of the law and their way of life.

Brunei has become the attraction of tourist because of their unique culture and traditions. Such example is weaving which is an ancient craft in Brunei Darussalam, which has always been done by women in the old days.

Brunei Unique Culture and Heritage

The very unique culture of Brunei is 'Memukun'. Memukun is song that is usually sang by a group of elderly. It is usually accommpanied by the 'Gulingtangan', which is the Brunei tradisional music instrument. Memukun is always in duet. The song is actually a 'Pantun', where the was used to be 'selling', and the other person will be 'buying' the 'Pantun'.

This 'Memukun' is just for entertainment for the Kedayan community.
