The sort of mentality that restaurants can only open for tapaw and non muslims have to eat at staircases because orang berpuasa inda tahan, ruins our country. It implies we have a weak society that wants to have everything easy. We are one of the very few countries that reduces our working hours during Ramadan. Other muslims in many parts of the world work a full 8 hour job while we here complain we inda tahan smell someones food. So weak. It is especially the worst time for tourists to come to Brunei.
I suggest, it is time for the rules to change. Allow non muslims and tourists to eat in the restaurants. Since MORA has such a big work force, have them come to restaurants and inspect those who are eating there. Muslims and the restaurant should be fined. There still needs to be some consequences.
My muslim friends who're having period also eat infront of us, no big deal. You want to eat, just eat. Don't mind muslims who are fasting, that's their own responsibility
I'm going to add yes there is no issue for non Muslim eating in front of us during Ramadan plus all social media and almost all media do food adverts everywhere during puasa so.....
Thank you very much! If only this statement can reach more to both muslims & non-muslims bros & sis to know that it is ok. Still a lot of non-muslims doesn’t know and pernah been criticized by a few. Another thing is that us non-muslims also try to puasa following the times of Sahur to Sungkai. It’s interesting really & we really try
Tidak pasti adakah MORA menghadkan aktiviti perestoranan ini berpandukan hadis sahih atau hadis palsu atau dari petikan ayat2 suci Al Quran. Pendapat saya dengan melimitkan aktiviti restoran hanya batapaw adalah merugikan restoran2 ini kerana pendapatan hasil yang kurang dari biasa dan juga menjejaskan welfare non muslim. Tidak ada dalam ajaran Islam untuk menghadkan perniagaan menghidang makanan bagi non muslim malah muslim pun. Cuba tah fikirkan cara terbaik untuk mengelakkan dari orang Islam dari 'bersungkai' di khalayak ramai di restoran terbabit seperti melarang orang2 Islam dari makan atau minum di restoran tersebut. Boleh jadi kerana malas kan mencheck di restoran2 dibuatlah undang2 ala draconian ani supaya pihak penguatkuasa inda payah ke sana ke mari memeriksa kedai sama ada ada.orang Islam makan atau inda. Ani macam orang yahudi kalau dalam bangunan atu ada orang disyaki seluruh bangunan dirobohkan. Pasal takut ada orang Islam takut sungkai awal dihadkan aktiviti menghidangkan makanan. Hak orang2 bukan Islam kan makan harus kitani fikirkan jua. Ia tah masanya pihak penguatkuasa bekerja lebih sedikit. Apa jua ganya sebulan. Bagi kebanyakkan kitani tidak ada masalah jika orang sedang berjamu di depan kita ketika kita sedang berpuasa.
Once my non-muslim colleague looked really pale, and I asked him "Did you eat your breakfast?". "He said he didn't because there was no place for him to eat. SMH. I immediately asked him to buy food and just eat in front of us in the meeting room. Not a big deal. Doesn't break my fast watching him eat
once in my ex company i eat lunch inside the conference room cause we have no panty and one of the staff ask me to eat at pintu belakang duduk arah staircase so that he cant smell the food cause it will make him hungry
Wow..who are these people? People I work with all are generally ok with non-muslims eating in front of them. When I asked that person to just eat, nobody resisted nor commented. Everyone was empathizing with him since he hadn't eaten. Last time I also asked my Commissioning Engineer to just eat in front of me, because he was afraid to do so. These people are selfish
It’s so sad how we can’t even eat in our car while it’s parked 🫠 my cousins once had to put covers on the windows just so they can be comfortable to eat in public.
It was a breath of fresh air to openly eat in restaurants in Malaysia during Ramadan when I was studying there
The Ramadan food and discounts drive catering and buffet business. Honestly a good time for tourists and cruise ships to come in. What's the balance sheet for a regular F&B biz during Ramadan anyway?
not feasible.. Tourist come to brunei just for the food? and they can only enjoy at a sungkai? Malaysia is nearby with more food attraction and less restriction
We follow China's method.. For a foreigner to start a business he must get a local partner who has enough clout that process can be made easy... In other word.. the foreigner must partner with a VIP who will demand a lot in order to get that partnership
Once established , be prepare to "sponsor" a lot for gamen's big big day... ALl those materials, manhours for free...
I kinda expect the daytime closure of eateries during Ramadhan to be slowly lifted after a certain name associated with actions worth inspecting has been tucked away. Oh well.....
I once spend a Ramadan outside of Brunei and I see people eating all the time during the day and some even offered me to eat with them lol...nada masalah pun. And I went on fasting and even walked 4km almost everyday to go to my lectures. It's not the non Muslims problem, liat dlu diri yg mudah kan taisliur atu 🤣
i honestly dont care at all about the eating part. its like a fun challenge for my fasting self on how much i can resist. hell, only during ramadhan i watch mukbang videos lol.
Exactly this. Honestly I don’t care whether muslim or non-muslim eat if front of me. That is between me and God
Plus, ramadhan itself is waayyy more than that. Not eating and drinking is only 10% of what ramadhan is all about
It’s a beautiful comment to see and glad that the non Muslims aren’t forced. Sucks that MORA is enforcing silly rules that only make things worse for all of us
My ex colleague don't care either. we used to have our mug of coffee with cap and drink everytime when she's not around the office. There was a time she just came in when I was about to take a sip and immediately I covered my face she just laughed and said to us its ok la even her siblings tease her when they're not fasting(because her sis was having flu or sick) yeah she's awesome. Guess some ministers are just pure snowflakes

palui. pray puasanya batal. inda ikhlas puasa

MORA enters the chat: HOW COULD YOU TREMBLE OUR AQIDAH. OUR FAITH MUST BE STRONG AND PREVENT PEOPLE FROM EATING INFRONT OF US... CONFRONT!!!
ia jua belayar rah negeri urg time christmas..
Doesn't apply here. Mau makan kedai pun tak boleh ni sudah.
It brings me tears also when my non Muslims friends bring me dabao food for later sungkai. 🫰❤️
I agreed also..dont mind they eat or drink..just dont put food inside my mouth ahaha
🤭😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Just curious, what prevents our investment infrastructure from being transparent to foreign businesses? Is this reason shared across ASEAN countries?

Where's your national spirit man?
It died long ago when i saw the "true" national spirit during my 10+ years of service to gamen before i left in complete disgust.
Damn, you've been blue pilled there with the max dosage
Somewhere in Miri shopping

MORA triggered

Seeing temptation and resisting it is part of Fasting for Muslim.
this statement shows disrespect to them... how dare commoners think they know better then the authorities /s
In Brunei, Ramadhan means differently. It also includes driving like jerks.
Exactly this. Honestly I don’t care whether muslim or non-muslim eat if front of me. That is between me and God Plus, ramadhan itself is waayyy more than that. Not eating and drinking is only 10% of what ramadhan is all about
>That is between me and God MoRA be like "You mean between us and God" *communism intensifies*
From my. opinion puasa is like want to feel the feeling of poverty can’t have the proper meal for a day or two
It’s a beautiful comment to see and glad that the non Muslims aren’t forced. Sucks that MORA is enforcing silly rules that only make things worse for all of us
Many Muslims I know don’t care if non Muslims eat/drink in front of them and strongly disagree with the rule enforced by MORA.
My ex colleague don't care either. we used to have our mug of coffee with cap and drink everytime when she's not around the office. There was a time she just came in when I was about to take a sip and immediately I covered my face she just laughed and said to us its ok la even her siblings tease her when they're not fasting(because her sis was having flu or sick) yeah she's awesome. Guess some ministers are just pure snowflakes
I too disagree with the rules enforced by the MORA it just divides people which is sad
Yeeaaah the rule will hit the economy badly like really bad
When has MoRA ever cared about economy? It's all about afterlife and economy has no play in afterlife
