IHPE 2007 Launching

IHPE 2007 Launching - Part 1

His Majesty consented to launch the 2nd International Halal Products Expo at the ICC this morning. He then proceeded to visit the participating booths in the expo hall. The exhibitors looked pretty well chuffed to welcome His Majesty to their booths! The expo was supposed to end tomorrow but I think its been extended for two more days. So come on down to the ICC to check out more than a hundred booths offering wholesome halal goodies! More pics to come.

Migration Complete...

If you recall, sometime ago, I was toying with the idea of migrating to the wordpress platform. Today, that idea becomes a reality. The migration to wordpress is complete and all posts from today onwards will be at http://anakbrunei.org Do bear with me for the next couple of weeks while I figure out the ins and outs of wordpress hehe.

This site will remain visible for archive purposes. Thank you and see you over at the new pad!

Hadrah

... In the past, hadrah was only performed during weddings, but now it is performed in open events, to greet honoured guests and more significantly to signal the arrival of His Majesty in various events...

... Brunei youths nowadays have done well in preserving the heritage and have even enhanced it. Back then, competition involved only beating of drums and chanting. But now performances are choreographed to make it more attractive and interesting...

... hadrah could be further promoted in Brunei if there is a national association of hadrah set up. "We have a national team for silat and gasing (top spinning), but not for hadrah. We cannot just rely on mukim and schools to promote the activity, it has to be done at a national level...
