Doing Business in Brunei Darussalam

Business tips When Visiting Brunei :

Brunei Business practices:
  • Avoid visiting Brunei around Hari Raya (at the end of the Muslim fasting month) or Chinese New Year. These holidays fall on a different month every year and many businesses are closed at this time.
  • When inviting Bruneians to lunch or dinner, consider their ethnic origins (eg. pork is forbidden among Muslims). As an option, you may find it easier to ask your guests to recommend a restaurant.
  • Avoid conversations concerning sex, religion or politics.
  • When entering a Malay or Chinese house, shoes should be taken off and left outside.
Social etiquette with Brunei Malays:
  • It is considered impolite to show the soles of your feet when seated opposite a person. Do not cross your legs, but keep your feet flat on the floor.
  • Use your right hand at all times when giving or receiving.
  • Avoid touching and pointing. If you need to point, use the thumb of your right hand with your other fingers clenched.
  • Public displays of affection such as hugging and kissing are not usual in Brunei. It is not customary to shake hands with a member of the opposite sex. Wait for them to offer first.
Social etiquette with Brunei Chinese:
  • When giving or receiving an item, such as a business card, it is polite to offer or receive the item with both hands.
  • Avoid touching and pointing.
  • Don’t sit until your host or hostess invites you to do so.
