Brunei is
a Muslim country and has a Ministry of Religious Affairs to foster and
to promote Islam. They are relatively strict in terms of religion and
the ministry has special officers to investigate any breach of Islamic
law by Muslims. Khalwat is one crime that these officers are keeping a
sharp eye on. Khalwat is when unmarried couples stand or sit too close
to each other after dark. Getting nailed for this crime can mean imprisonment
and a fine.
Sale of alcohol
is banned. Non-Islamic restaurants (such as Chinese places) that serves
pork must display signs stating that they are not suitable for Muslims'
consumption.
You may practice
other religions in peace and harmony.
