Jan Tze Hong said it was a dream come true to finally be granted Brunei citizenship. “I was in disbelief when my wife received the call,” he said yesterday as 860 people received their Brunei citizenship certificates at a ceremony at the Bridex Conference Hall in Jerudong.
The wheelchair-bound stroke patient added, “My birthday was on July 4, so this is the biggest gift granted by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam. Thank you for granting me the citizenship.”
