colours

You must have seen the colourful flags during this festive season around Bandar Seri Begawan and Tutong town (I'm not sure whether Belait and Temburong districts have these or not). Have you ever wonder why these colours are chosen? They are not merely decorating the town, but each and every of them is significant according to the hierarchy of Royal family of Brunei Darussalam.

Yellow - His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam

White - Pengiran Bendahara
Green - Pengiran Digadong
Black - Pengiran Pemancha
Red - Pengiran Temenggong
Purple - Cheteria 4
Orange - Cheteria 8
Blue - Cheteria 16 & Cheteria Tambahan di bawah Cheteria 16
Pink - Cheteria 32
