BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: The continued organisation of the annual nightly stalls, held in conjunction with Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's 80th Birthday Celebration not only strengthens the spirit of the national celebration, but also provides opportunities for local vendors to connect with the community, said Dayang Rasimah while visiting the Gerai Perayaan Jalan Bendahara, opposite the Royal Regalia Museum.

She added that the wide variety of food, beverages and products available makes it a destination that she looks forward to visiting every year.

“The atmosphere is always vibrant and festive. There are plenty of choices, and it’s wonderful to see so many local entrepreneurs showcasing their products. It’s a great place to spend time with family while celebrating His Majesty’s birthday,” the visitor said.

Meanwhile, one of the long-serving vendors, Amran Matasad, expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support received throughout the celebrations.

“The response has been tremendous. The atmosphere has been lively with many visitors coming throughout the week,” he said. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN
