Музей на кралските регалии

Музеят на кралските регалии (на английски: Royal Regalia Museum; на малайски: Muzium Alat Kebesaran Diraja) е исторически музей в центъра на Бандар Сери Бегаван, столицата на Бруней. В него се съхраняват главно регалиите на султана и на монархията (символи и предмети на властта), както и експонати, свързани с честванията на сребърните и златните юбилейни дати на управлението на султан Хасанал Болкиах в Бруней. Музеят е официално открит на 30 септември 1992 г. от самия султан. Първоначално сградата се е наричала „Паметната сграда на Чърчил“, и е създадена от султана Омар Али Сайфудиен III, бащата на султана, тъй като той се възхищавал на Уинстън Чърчил. През 1992 г. е заменен от изложбената зала на кралските регалии, създадена за да отбележи сребърния юбилей на коронацията на Негово Величество като 29-и крал на Бруней. На 2 декември 2017 г. сградата е преименувана на Музей на кралските регалии във връзка със златния 50-годишен юбилеен празник от възкачването на престола. Сградата на музея представлява голяма структура с купол, който е декориран със специално проектирани позлатени мозайки. Тя има полукръгъл план, широко облицована и декорирана с мрамор и е застелена с плюшени килими. Музеят представя хронологично житейската история на султана чрез снимките, предметите и моделите от детството, образователната подготовка, военната му служба, спортните занимания, коронацията, брака, пътуванията и до юбилейните празници. Историческият преглед на живота на султан Хасанал Болкиах е представен чрез семейни снимки с подробен обяснителен текст, в които той е подчертан чрез много негови портрети и холограма. Основният експонат във входното антре е огромна колесница, използвана за парада, пренасящ султана по улиците на града по случай неговия празник по време на сребърния юбилей през 1992 г. Пред колесницата са изложени манекенки, облечени в традиционното за страната облекло. Има и втора колесница, която се използва по време на коронацията през 1968 г., а също и по време на посещението на кралицата в Бруней през 1972 г. Експонатите включват множество артефакти, които са използвани за кралски церемонии в страната, златно и сребърно церемониално оръжие, корони с вградени бижута, и други парафинали, които са част от церемонията по коронацията, и церемониалните носии. В Конституционната галерия на музея има експонати от държавни документи и договори. Музеят се посещава средно повече от 100 000 души годишно, от които 70 процента са чужденци.

Cheng Hoon Teng Temple

The Cheng Hoon Teng Temple (Chinese: 青云亭; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chheng-hûn-tîng) (also called as the Temple of Green Cloud) is a Chinese temple practising the Three Doctrinal Systems of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism located at No. 25 Jalan Tokong, Malacca City, Malaysia. It is the oldest functioning temple in the country. History The temple site was founded during the era of Dutch Malacca by the Chinese Kapitans Tay Kie Ki Tay Hong Yong in 1645. There are some controversy about the exact time the temple was built. Inscription in the temple recorded the Ming Dynasty calendar Wanli Reign period 28 years might proved the building might be already been there since 1600 or earlier in the 15th Century. Additional structures were then constructed in 1673 under the leadership of Kapitan Li Wei King Koon Chang with materials imported from China. The temple served as the main place of worship for the local Hoklo (Hokkien) community. Kapitan Chan Ki Lock constructed a main hall for the temple in 1704. In 1801, the temple structures were renovated under the leadership of Kapitan Chua Su Cheong Tok Ping who was the father of Choa Chong Long, the first Kapitan of Singapore, with the addition of additional structures. In 1962, then abbot Seck Kim Seng ordained Houn Jiyu-Kennett, a Zen nun from England and the future founder of the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, at this temple. The temple was awarded a UNESCO award for outstanding architectural restoration in 2003. Features The temple is situated close to Jalan Tukang Emas, also known as "Harmony Street" because of its proximity to the Kampung Kling Mosque and Sri Poyatha Moorthi Temple, covering an area of 4,600 m2. Featuring a magnificent main gate along Jalan Tokong, the temple consists of a complex of several prayer halls with a large main prayer hall dedicated to the goddess of mercy, Guan Yin. Additional smaller prayer quarters were added later. One of these is dedicated to the Chinese deities of wealth, longevity and propagation, while another dedicated to ancestral tablets. One of the main features of the temple is a pair of seven-metre-tall red flagpoles standing on either side in front of the main prayer hall, an uncommon sight in temple architecture. Across the road is a traditional opera theatre which forms a part of the temple complex. The building conforms to the principles of feng shui where the complex is laid out to ensure a view of the river and high ground on either side.

Zu dieser Formation gehört auch die benachbarte Insel Pulau Baru-Baru, die nur durch einen schmalen Kanal und die Simpang 747 von Pulau Pepatan getrennt wird. Aufgrund einer Faltung der Schichten verlaufen zahlreiche Hügelkämme parallel nebeneinander, und so bilden die Inseln Pulau Chermin und Pulau Kaingaran sowie Pulau Berambang im Westen Ausläufer des benachbarten Kammes.
