BRUNEI: Shivaratri Puja - Sunday, 15th February 2026, 0900 – 1015 hrs @ BFB Temple

BFB TEMPLE SERVICE (SHIVARATRI PUJA) – 15 FEB 26

Issue. As per the Brigade of Gurkhas Religious Festivals FOE 2025/26, the SHIVARATRI Puja falls on Sun 15 Feb 26.

Request. All BFB personnel including families are invited to join the Shivaratri Puja at the BFB Temple.

Timing. 0900 – 1015hrs. Please be seated by 0855hrs.

Dress. Casual / Comfortable attire for families.

 

Sequence of events:
· Mediation
· Puja
· Bhajan
· Prabachan
· Arati, Phool, Prasad & Tika (Blessings)

Background. According to sacred scriptures, the ritual worship of Lord Shiva on the SHIVARATRI festival falls on the 14th day of the dark fortnight in February or March every year. This fact is said to have been declared by Lord Shiva himself, when his consort Parvati asked him as to which ritual performed by his devotees pleases him the most. Even till date, devotees of Lord Shiva perform the ritual worship of SHIVARATRI with care and devotion. They observe day and night fast and give a sacred bath to Shiva Linga with honey, milk, water etc. It is believed that the worship of Lord Shiva with devotion and sincerity absolves a devotee of past sins. The devotee reaches the abode of Lord Shanker and lives there happily. He is also liberated from the cycle of birth and death and attains moksha or salvation.

Brunei: Immigration Run Schedule During Ramadhan Period

IMMIGRATION RUN SCHEDULE DURING RAMADHAN PERIOD

1. With Ramadhan approaching, all BFB personnel are to familiarise themselves with the following changes to OGS endorsement and cancellation processes, and are reminded that all Bruneian Government Departments, including Immigration, will be closed at 14:00hrs on every working day throughout the month of Ramadhan. During this period, the Immigration Run for the LPPO will take place at 09:45hrs every Tuesday and Thursday, unless these days fall on a public holiday.

2. As 17 February 2026 is a public holiday (Chinese New Year), the Immigration Run for that week will take place on Monday 16 February 2026.

3. The first day of Ramadhan depends on the moon sighting on Tuesday 17 February 2026.

4. Moon Sighting Outcomes

a. If the moon is sighted on 17 February, the first day of Ramadhan will be Wednesday 18 February 2026. The Immigration Run for the LPPO will take place on Monday 16 February and Thursday 19 February 2026.

b. If the moon is not sighted on 17 February, the first day of Ramadhan will be Thursday 19 February 2026. The Immigration Run for the LPPO will take place on Monday 16 February and Wednesday 18 February 2026.

5. You are advised to submit any Special Pass or urgent OGS applications as early as possible. Urgent applications apply strictly to individuals travelling for exercises, on compassionate leave, or those being permanently posted out. Individuals outside these categories should not expect urgent processing.

6. For Normal OGS Applications or Extensions

a. Individuals are strongly advised not to book travel before their OGS endorsement has been completed and stamped in their passports.

BRUNEI: Moon Sighting Outcomes & Ramadhan Considerations

Moon Sighting Outcomes

a. If the moon is sighted on 17 February, the first day of Ramadhan will be Wednesday 18 February 2026.

b. If the moon is not sighted on 17 February, the first day of Ramadhan will be Thursday 19 February 2026.

RAMADHAN CONSIDERATIONS

1. The following are some key considerations to keep in mind for good working practice during the month of Ramadhan:

a. Schedule meetings in the morning. Try to conduct meetings or calls earlier in the day to maximise productivity whilst being considerate to your client or colleagues daily routines whilst observing Ramadhan.

b. Avoid lunch and coffee meetings. While non-Muslims are not required to fast during Ramadhan, it’s culturally sensitive to refrain from eating or drinking in front of someone who is fasting. This includes turning down a drink if offered a Muslim colleague or client. Whilst in public, no food or drink should be consumed.

c. Provide a separate space for non-fasting colleagues to eat. Just as many restaurants and cafes have a separate area for those who are not fasting, you should provide a separate space in your office for non-fasting colleagues to eat. This way, you can enjoy your meal without tempting those who are observing Ramadhan.

d. Dress and behave modestly. During Ramadhan, it’s important to dress and behave modestly as a sign of respect for the holy month. Women should wear high necklines and avoid short skirts and shorts, and sleeveless attire. Playing loud music in public spaces should be avoided and it’s also considerate to wait for a Muslim colleague or client to initiate a handshake.

e. Extend greetings of the season. Take the opportunity to extend greetings of the season to your Muslim colleagues and clients during Ramadhan. Remember to wish ‘Ramadhan Mubarak’ to your network.

f. Join Iftars and Suhoors if asked. Being invited to attend an Ifar or Suhoor is an honour and a sign of trust and respect. Iftar is the meal eaten by Muslims to break their fast at the end of the day, while Suhoor is a pre-dawn meal consumed before starting the day's fast. These meals are often used by corporate professionals as an opportunity to build relationships and increase
awareness. If invited, be sure to accept and enjoy the experience.
