40 years of Majestic Reign...

Alhamdulillah, today is a day that will be remembered as a milestone in our beloved country as we all celebrate the 40th year His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah ascended the throne. Eventhough the celebrations to commemorate this aupicious occassion is low key (out of respect for the fasting month) but the celebrations are not without its grand scale. Thanks giving prayers were held last night (4th October 2007). With the main focus being held at Jame' Asr Hassanel Bolqiah. However, prior to this, recitation of the holy Quran (Tedarus) have been held for the past couple of days. In my opinion, this is a more suitable way of celebrating His Majesty's 40th anniversary being puasa and all. And by the way, just in case I don't update my blog anytime soon, I wish everyone SELAMAT HARI RAYA, Maaf Zahir Batin... May this year's Hari Raya bring you banyak duit raya and sakit parut hehehe.
