The excitement of Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration continues to be felt throughout the country, including residents of the country's iconic area, Kampong Ayer. Despite the rapid modernisation, the tradition of celebrating Hari Raya in Kampong Ayer still maintains the tradition of friendship that has been passed down from generation to generation.
The tradition of visiting via wooden bridges and riding a boat provides a unique Syawal experience. Boat services are the main route, taking passengers across the Brunei River to visit relatives. The journey begins from the jetty around Bandar Seri Begawan, making it easier for people and tourists who do not miss the opportunity to visit relatives living in Kampong Ayer.
However, safety aspects remain a priority. Visitors are advised to always be vigilant when walking on the footbridge, especially those with small children.
Users of boat services are also reminded not to exceed the load limit and always prioritize personal safety throughout the journey across the river to avoid any unwanted incidents.
