Bandar Seri Begawan - The Chinese community in Brunei Darussalam continued to hold open houses on the second day of the Chinese New Year celebrations yesterday.

Chinese and non-Chinese visitors flocked to houses of their relatives and friends to convey their seasonal greetings.

The visits made by people of all races and religions showed a high level tolerance among the different communities living in this country.

Chinese New Year visitors when interviewed said the tolerance shown among the different races in the country has earned Brunei much admiration worldwide, particularly at a time when there is communal and religious strife in most parts of the world.

"Indeed we are very blessed, and all Bruneians should be thankful that we live in such a harmonious country, they said, adding that as in all festivals, Chinese New Year enables all races in the Sultanate to foster closer relationships. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
