Did she have to leave school to marry the King? i'm assuming she must right to take up her royal duties...

[Minnie]

Princess Sarah's still in school after marriage It was reported in the papers that she was determined to complete her A levels and she said that she will leave it to the palace to decide the fate of her education.

I suppose a university education would be even more important given her task of discharging royal duties. She mentioned about a marine biologist ambition, not sure if she will still pursue that now.

[Humera]

I would think she would complete her education, particularly given her position as future queen. She'd have to be well educated.

Apparently the younger women of the family only cover when they're at home. When the Sultan's younger daughters are abroad they don't wear a head covering. When P. Sarah and CP Al-Muhtadee Billah were honeymooning in Venice and Milan, she didn't wear a headcovering when they went on walkabout.

Thankx bluetortuga.
I have noticed that when abroad they dont cover, and at official enagments they are all covered.So i think in such stuff they have to cover.

Hari Raya is for ALL muslims

Hari Raya is EID EL FITRI which celebrates the end of the fasting month, Ramadan. In Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, etc, they say Selamate Hari Raya which means Happy EID EL FITRI..

NB: i am not Asian...but have good friends from Malaysia whom i knew during my graduate schooling..

Yeah I've noticed that the Bruneian press uses the words "Hari Raya" and "Aidilfitri" interchangeably.
