Civil Servants’ Role To Protect Nation’s Adat Istiadat

Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam - It is the role of government officers to ensure the unique identity of the nation’s Adat Istiadat (custom) will be practised continuously in perfect conformity and regularly.

YAM Pengiran Lela, Cheteria Sahibun Najabah Pengiran Anak Hj Abdul-Aziz bin Pengiran Jaya Negara Pengiran Hj Abu Bakar, President of the Adat Istiadat Negara, highlighted this during the closing and certificate presentation ceremony of the Adat Istiadat Course at the Civil Service Institute yesterday.

"Adat Istiadat is part of an identity that we must protect.

This matter was stressed by His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam in his Hari Raya titah organised by Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah at the ICC, "YAM Pengiran Lela Cheteria Sahibun Najabah Pengiran Anak Hj Abdul Aziz said.

Quoting His Majesty’s titah, he said, "As a race that surely possesses its own identity, we must be protective of it while trying to improve it, but not under a false pretext of changing it to suit the current time.

A progressive race is a race capable of maintaining this identity."

By the grace of Allah SAW, YAM Pengiran Lela Cheteria Sahibun Najabah Pengiran Anak Hj Abdul Aziz said, with the efforts taken by the Department of Adat Istiadat Negara with cooperation from the Civil Service Institute, the Adat Istiadat Course/Workshop for Government Officers that directly involves national events and teachers teaching the Malay Islamic Monarchy concept at academic institutions in the country, the practise of our own culture and adat Istiadat will always be upheld by the community in the country.

YAM Pengiran Lela Cheteria Sahibun Najahah Pengiran Anak Hj Abdul Aziz congratulated all for completing the course/workshop.

He hoped the short course would enhance the participants’ understanding in all aspects of the nation’s Adat Istiadat that will be passed on from generation to generation. Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
