Everyday life in Brunei under hudud


Business not as usual: Restaurants are empty during the fasting month. No one is allowed to dine-in therefore non-Muslims are only allowed to take away food to eat at home. (inset) Shops are closed during Friday prayers.

BRUNEI is the first Asian country to implement the highly controversial hudud law. All Bruneians, including its non-Muslims, have to adjust their lives to fit into the lifestyle of the majority Muslims.

Since PAS announced its intention of implementing the hudud law, Malaysians have been curious as to the possible reaches of the hudud law. Many wonder how the average Bruneian lead his day-to-day life, two years into the implementation of the law.
