How strict is Brunei? 🇧🇳 - Country 80/196

[@sandrab6468]

I like this format Emily. I enjoyed hearing about the culture/religion of the country. I admire the fact that you are always so respectful of other countries culture/laws...

[@OfficialBezeL]

As a bruneian thx for visiting our country and learning our culture 🫡🙃

[@dragstars]

don't listen to the negative feedback from the medias about our country...

[@zedanist18]

that peanut thingy dessert that you had is called Apam Balik. I miss savouring that. Thanks for the lovely upload. Love from Norway

[@lupakubn6096]

actually in brunei it is kueh malaya

[@muhammadalfatih2640]

You should have been allowed into the mosque (during visiting hours). Whoever stopped you from entering must not have been educated enough. I went to the mosque about a month ago and saw a few tourists inside. They were at this bit at the main entrance where tourists can enter and see the interior of the mosque. Your pronunciation of Kampong Ayer was not bad. Thank you for the video. It was nice to watch.

[@popcornz2758]

also just to explain when you were visiting some buildings, i think it was closed at 2pm instead of 5pm (the regular time) because its during ramadhan time. but if you wanna visit again in non-ramadhan time, feel free to reach out and will help you with tour around brunei.

[@kokovin6808]

Not really, after covid, business is not good that many shops collapsed or some closed early. Covid causes so much pain and problem across the globe.

I was really curious about Brunei! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Btw, i am new here, so you got a new subscriber.

Thanks for visiting our country Emily, im glad u enjoyed the stay in Brunei!

[@mohammadshahnonazizan3255]

Emily, during Ramadhan, if a muslim is caught eating or drinking in public, they dont get arrested. They will be summoned /pay a fine. I wouldnt call is RUDE if you have a meal in front of muslims during the day. It is just us respecting the muslims observing their obligations during ramadhan. One more, dont rely on CNN alone. The US embassy is here in Brunei and Im pretty sure they can tell you the DOs and DONTs

[@aiaito5573]

[@AjizSatay5658]

Brunei is also a Malay country but there's less other race live over there so they're really strict about haram food and drinks there. compare to Malaysia they had other major race live there like chinese, india and sikh that's why they sell alcohol and non halal food

[@massukandiwahid2385]

Hai Emily.Thank you for sharing this video.All places of interest in Brunei was very beautiful places especially for the foods.Very delicious for us.

Welcome to Brunei. You can bring in alcohol within the stated limit and fill form thru custom. Your friend can go to the malaysia border to buy spirits. You are gorgeous emily. We do have many good beautiful homes here. You are mis informed about some things emily. Enjoy your trip.

Watching from Jeddah SAUDI ARABIA NICE ONE your video

[@swanvictor887]

Brit here, been living in Brunei for nearly two decades. Some of the 'Rules' you quoted are a bit, erm, over-emphasized and to be honest, not really enforced. Brunei is a Moderate Muslim state. Women are allowed to run a business, own property, drive freely. In other states such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE...women enjoy much limited freedom and people have fewer rights than muslims here. Also, in those states, as a single woman, you would risk breaking the law, sharing a bed and apartment with a single guy, whereas here, as you can testify, nobody bothered you at all. You Tuber Josh Cahill, who does Aircraft reviews, he was surprised by Brunei too: as a gay man, he was very surprised to be allowed to share his hotel room with his partner, without any issues! In fact, Brunei is considered a haven for LGBTQ community. There is a LOT of misinformation about Brunei in the western media, unfortunately.

[@natasyajames6928]

You are so right. Well said

Coming from Malaysia, you're gonna find choices of food and dishes rather limited. One thing for sure, the portions are bigger here. I had some Brunei an friends flying into KL over the weekend especially after pay day just eat and shop in Msia. Some of the memorable local dishes like ambuyat.

Muslim in general do not feel you or other non muslims are rude for eating and drinking infront of us in daytime during ramadhan, though most of non muslims feel so.

[@Lupercal1901]

Too bad you miss the Eid in brunei (Hari Raya) where on the second day you can meet the royal family at their palace.

[@Ha-ki-mieZayan]

Hi,, so sorry that you can't visit most place, during Ramadan Month, all workers (government I guess) will normally get home early at 2.00 p.m. During Ramadhan season, the main attraction I think is EID- Shopping.. And one more think, if you are in your house, or close area, you're allowed to eat and drink,,no one will arrest you😅 it just a rules to respect most people who are fasting.. No hate,,love your chanel❤

[@masmad8561]

Non muslim can purchase alcohol from outside to certain amount.

No, they don't. As a former British Colony, the law is based on British Law - judges still wear robes and wigs! The state does NOT kill people here. Google 'Saudi Arabia - stonings'.

[@miragebangbravern]

As a Bruneian, it is true that our rules are there but they aren't completely enforced even towards the Muslim population to a degree. The homosexuality thing, yeah Brunei is not strict on that either because there are actually many gay people here so generally, locals don't care as long you behave yourself. Anyway, it is very nice that you visited our country so terima kasih.

[@أشراف-ذ2ه]

Dear Emily, Non-muslims can enter mosques with the aim of learning about the cultures and religions of others, and as long as they adhere to its rules (such as wear modest clothes for both genders in addition to head cover for ladies) What happened to you in Brunei is specific to them only!

[@keangwooichoo6138]

So you can bring in alcohol.

is your friend muslim? if hes a muslim, then yes it is illegal to purchase alcohol, and he shouldnt be drinkin it anyway. but if hes non-muslim, its not a problem, theres even a non-halal restaurants in brunei if you know where to find them but they are not alot. but usually, the easiest way for non-muslims to drink is to go to nearby neigboring country just across the border. non-muslims are also allowed to celebrate their own festivities eg xmas, but not too publicly.. they can do it in their own home.
