Selamat Menyambut Hari Kebangsaan yang ke-42
Brunei Darussalam Celebrates 42 Years of Independence
On 23rd February 2026, Brunei Darussalam proudly celebrates its 42nd National Day, marking over four decades of independence, progress, and national unity.
This important occasion reminds us of the nation’s journey since independence in 1984 — a journey shaped by strong leadership, stability, and the collective efforts of its people. Over the past 42 years, Brunei has continued to grow and develop while preserving its rich heritage, Islamic values, and cultural identity under the philosophy of Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB).
National Day is more than a celebration; it is a moment of reflection. It allows us to appreciate the peace and prosperity we enjoy, and to recognise the contributions of those who have worked tirelessly to build and strengthen the nation. It also inspires us to look ahead with confidence, embracing innovation, unity, and resilience as we move towards a sustainable and progressive future.
As we commemorate this milestone, may we continue to uphold the values of harmony, respect, and cooperation that define our country. Together, let us remain committed to contributing positively to Brunei Darussalam’s continued growth and success.
Selamat Hari Kebangsaan ke-42, Negara Brunei Darussalam.
