Today say the “Big” flag raising ceremony held at the free space in front of the SOAS Mosque in the capital. The event which started at 8.00 am with the arrival of guess ends at around 10.00 am (if I was not mistaken).
The photographers from our own local shutterbugs forum were on scene to cover the event and they were there as early as 7.00 am (just a ruff idea hehe).
The event was officiated by Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Dewa Mejar Jeneral (B) Dato Seri Pahlawan Haji Awang Mohammad Bin Haji Daud, the Minister at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.
The event started with the recital of Surah Al-Fatihah and also the Doa which was later followed by the welcoming speech of the Chairman, Yang Mulia Dato Paduka Awang Haji Jemat Bin Haji Ampal, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports. Then it was the Guest of Honour’s turn to make his speech and later followed by the moving in by the personnels of the Royal Brunei Navy for the flag rising ceremony.
Lastly, the giving out of the Flags and Posters for the 24th National Day Celebration to the District Officers.
