By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Mukim Kianggeh held a national flag hoisting ceremony yesterday afternoon in conjunction with the 62nd birthday celebration of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam.

The event was held at the residence of the Penghulu of Mukim Kianggeh, Hj Lutfi bin Hj Abd Halim in Kg Telanai, Jalan Tutong. The ceremony was officiated by Skip Hj Awg Badar bin Hj Awg Ali, the Scout Chief Commissioner (SCC) of Scouts Association of Brunei Darussalam.

It was attended by senior citizens from Mukim Kianggeh in a effort to rekindle the old spirit of celebration, as well as demonstrate their loyalty to their ruler.

Penghulu Hj Lutfi said the senior citizens chose to participate in the mukim's flag hoisting ceremony to revive old memories when they hoisted the flag during their youth days.

"They wanted to show today's youths that they used to hoist the national flag many years ago when they were young.

"They did not have the same facility as the youths have now and they tied the national flag to a bamboo and raised the bamboo up," he said.

The flag-hoisting ceremony was conducted by members of the scouts association from Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien College in the capital to the tune of the national anthem.

Led by Skip Zakaria Hj Md Noor and their supervising teacher Cikgu Azri, some 15 members of the school's scout association hoisted the flag witnessed by SCC Skip Hj Badar and Penghulu Hj Lutfi.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
