A grand building
seen in Brunei-Muara is the Yayasan Sultan Haji
Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation Complex. An amalgamation of
traditional and modern architectural styles, the
Yayasan Complex , as it is locally known, is one
of the capital's most popular shopping venues.
Paved with cooling, polished granite around the
central fountain, the Yayasan Complex's
colonnaded walkway offers picturesque views of
the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque to the
west and Kampung Ayer to the east.
Opened in July 1996,
the shopping complex features designer-goods
boutiques, department store shopping and
fine-dining venues. The Yayasan Complex is a
project of His Majesty to generate revenue for a
foundation dedicated to the welfare of the
Bruneian people.
