Early Raya Pays Means New Tyres, Shiny Cars
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Business has been very busy at workshops and carwash centres around the country since Saturday as civil servants received their early pay to celebrate Hari Raya.

Celebrants who intend to go criss-crossing around the Sultanate to visit relatives and friends ensured their vehicles were in tip-top condition by having their cars washed and serviced.

Car workshop operators said new tyres were on the top of the shopping list of civil servants. "Some purchased new tyres while others bought quality second-hand tyres," said a local workshop manager.

Apart from buying tyres, celebrants also purchased stereo systems and other items for their vehicles. "We earned roughly $5,000 a day. This is twice or three times more our normal daily earnings," said a smiling manager.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
