VIDEOS AND PICTURES OF ISTANA PANTAI ON SOCIAL MEDIA -
PROHIBITED
1. Members of Bruneian Ministry of Defence have expressed concerns over
SPs and families posting photos and videos of private functions in Istana Pantai on social media. Since, Istana Pantai is associated with HM Sultan of Brunei, It holds significant importance to Bruneians. It is known to be one of the official resident for HM Sultan of Brunei. Governmental officials are very sensitive and cautious about SPs and family posting videos of functions and parties on social media.
2. It is important to be respectful and considerate of local customs and
population when using Istana Pantai for private events. All HoD are to brief their SPs NOT to take or post videos of private events on social media and obtain permission from Bn Media Officer prior posting anything. If this continues, we will lose the privilege to use this facility for private events and BHQ will not hesitate to ban the facility if seen as jeopardising our relationship with Brunei Government.
