Royal Affair at grand Concert Dirgahayu Emas
It was a grand Concert Dirgahayu Emas especially staged for His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam in celebration of his 60th birthday at the Jerudong Amphitheatre last night . . . His Majesty's grandson, YAM Pengiran Anak Abdul Raqiib, was also on the stage. Guests had the honour of seeing performances by His Majesty's grand-daughters, YAM Pg Anak Raheemah Sanaul Bolkiah and YAM Pengiran Anak Hariisah Widadul Bolqiah, making the night a special and memorable one. During their performances, YAM Pg Anak Raheemah recited a "Sajak Dirgahayu", while her younger sister, YAM Pg Anak Hariisah belted out "Tomorrow" and "The Greatest Love of All".

More pictures from Infofoto.
The pictures of the sultan with his grandkids are quite cute. Princess Rashidah's children already seem to be quite actively involved in public events.

Why the new Sultan's wife doesn't cover her hair totally like all the other royal Brunei's women?Is there a difference or any meaning?

Big 60th Bday Concert
It was lasted for hours. I dont know where they got the entertainment from. The singers were amateurish and bland despite the flashy colourful costumes. Performances were nothing new or spectacular and No stars or local talent featured.
Listening to people around and about talking about the event, it was a complete waste of money and time.

 I hope that show never aired outside the United States. I also was wondering why Princess Sarah and the Sultan's daughters don't wear tiaras?

Oh I dont know. I seem to recall the same thing last year, and the year before that, several banquets, visits to the various districts and so on, all spread out over several weeks.
I wonder what's in store for next year, with the 40th anniversary of the Sultan's ascension to the throne in October. I wonder if we'll see two separate celebrations for the birthday and the ascension anniversary or just one huge bash. Money's obviously not really an object but the latter option sounds more practical, especially when you have foreign guests and heads of states coming into the country.

Nobody answered my previous question,is there any meaning if the sencond wife of the Sultan doesn't cover completly her hair like his first wife and the other women of the royal family?
And I have an other question,the women in Brunei wear all scarves in their country,I mean like in Saudia Arabia or Iran,where scarf is obligatory even if they don't wear it oustide their countries.

Hi Tamara Khan, I will answer your questions. the first one is that the second wife have her own style of wearing the headscarf, she comes from Malaysia & the women there mostly wear the headscarves like hers, she only covers her hair during religious functions. The second is that wearing headscarves is obligatory during official functions. Most women government officers wear headscarves to work. Only a few don't wear them. But it isn't obligatory when you are just going out in public.

I have looked at this thread for the first time, and have a few questions and comments:
Why don't European royals join in the Brunei celebrations like the King of Thailand?! Is princess Sarah supposedly happily married? She looks very pensive. The Queen doesn't look too happy standing to his second wife? What was her relationship with his other wife who the sultan divorced?
