Brunei	Curious??? Posted: Wed April 9, 2008 04:04 AM UTC Hi, this might be an odd Q to ask... I am a transgender (pondan or mak nyah) from KL and planning to visit Brunei (BSB) this month via Labuan. I was wondering on how tolerant is the Brunei people towards 'mak nyah'??? Will I be facing unnecessary hassles and ridicule or harassed while in BSB??? Or the level of acceptance of 'mak nyah' is SIMILAR to what I am used to in Malaysia??? Thanks so much!!!! Report Advertising or Inappropriate Posting	puterinyah	2 replies [Reply]

I was wondering on how tolerant is the Brunei people towards 'mak nyah'???

Hi!

I saw trangenders in BSB when I was there previously so I guess Bruneians are quite tolerant towards them. Regardless of where ever you go just be street smart, don't try to attract unnecessary attention and you'll be allright.
