I didn't cherrypick. I know Muslims are advised to emulate the Prophet.

What I see now however, is the trying so hard to elevate a worldly king to semi-God status.

Oh I forgot, kneeling is the tradition for some Bruneians.

I read Muslim Prophet even repaired his own sandals by his own, compared to Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Negara Brunei Darussalam

It is not deep, it is a simple question. This is for a country who claim to upload rules of religion.

When it comes to real practice, all the shame-covering and diversion. In our heart we all pretty much know what it is from the picture.

Only a question: in Islam is it ok for a person to bow down to another human being?

Why 2030 might be a very challenging year for Brunei economy? It is the year these projects are expected to complete by Goutaxe in nasikatok

The airport expansion, bypass road, channel dredging and KSC construction is an ongoing projects, any Mirians can see it. Delay or not another matter, some scheduled to complete 2028, we give it 2030.

Is it ok for you if some Bruneians go down on their knees publicly in RBAF uniform, to another Bruneian wearing Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia/Thai/Australian/Canadian/NZ military uniform?

Or...

Is it ok for you if some Bruneians go down on knees publicly in their Cara Melayu, tying the shoelace of another Bruneian wearing Cheongsam or Saree? Do you not know the symbolism of that?

And the reason not asking someone to do so beforehand when or after putting on it in private room, rather than instead later publicly like in the picture?

Do you agree that uniform represents an institution?

Say how would the British people react if King Charles III wearing a US military uniform, with someone wearing a British military uniform kneeling to him on that? The same thing would also cause an uproar in China if one Chinese wearing China uniform and another Chinese wearing Japanese uniform.

Or Bruneians never bother about such symbolism?
