Brunei will be represented by a delegation of 15 youth and a national leader at the 48th Ship for Southeast Asian and Japanese Youth Programme (SSEAYP). The programme, which brings together 168 young people from 11 countries, will take place from November 4 to December 11. The SSEAYP participants will embark on a 38-day journey, starting in Tokyo, Japan and visiting several ASEAN member countries, including Vietnam and Indonesia. The programme includes activities such as welcoming ceremonies, homestay experiences and educational visits.
One of the highlights of the SSEAYP is the cultural performance showcase, where each contingent presents their nation’s unique identity and culture. The Brunei Contingent recently held a preview of their national presentation at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports’ Digadong Hall.
The performance included traditional cultural elements like Warisan Satu Anugerah, Adai-Adai, Dundang Beranyut, Joget Hati Tertawan and Silat Melayu. The event was attended by Acting Director of Youth and Sports Haji Mohamad Rosfazilah bin Haji Yusly.
Syed Abdul Muiz bin Haji Syed Anayatullah Shah, the national leader for the Brunei Contingent, delivered welcoming remarks. The event concluded with the presentation of appreciation certificates and souvenirs to sponsors. – Lyna Mohamad
