Holding Open House To Strengthen
Family Ties

Bandar Seri
Begawan - For Hjh Julia Hj Saifuddin, the Hari Raya gathering
is especially meaningful to her family. Each` year, she organises an
open house for family members and friends at her residence in Sungai
Liang, a fast developing village located in the Belait district.
"We have done this for years and I
think this gathering helps reinforce ties and values among family
members while preserving them.
Having different beliefs does not
mean family relationship stops there," she said, adding that while her
father has embraced Islam in his younger days, none of her fathers'
siblings followed in his footstep. Besides that, her husband's mother
only embraced Islam this year. -- Courtesy of Borneo
