Guests were treated to a delightful spread of both Chinese and Malay cuisines, symbolising the rich cultural diversity celebrated during the event. The evening was further enlivened with entertaining performances presented by PWM Executive Committee members and association members, showcasing talents and promoting stronger community bonds.

The association also reaffirmed its commitment to continue organising inclusive community programmes that strengthen friendship, cultural understanding and unity among Malaysians in Brunei Darussalam.
The “Gongxi Raya 2026” celebration successfully highlighted the spirit of mutual respect, harmony and togetherness that continues to unite the Malaysian community across different backgrounds and cultures.
