A total of 30,000 mini-flags were distributed nationwide in conjunction with this year's 23`d national day celebration - an increase of 5,000 from last year.

The distribution of the mini flags is meant to light up the spirit of patriotism among the people of Brunei Darussalam and instill a sense of celebration.
