Over one-third of Brunei’s total workforce are foreign expatriates. A huge percentage of them has been staying in Brunei for more than two decades in various capacities. This paper sets out the conceptual imperatives of culture, ethnicity and integration in order to demonstrate how people from different origins, religions and ethnicities settled in Brunei and ended up melting in Brunei society. Setting its arguments in context, this paper engenders the discourse of integrational, religious and cultural ambivalence. A qualitative study was conducted on some diasporas selected based on snow-ball technique. The study reveals that while Diaspora maintain a reciprocal relationship between both ends (origin and destinations), most of them find their hearts in Brunei. In a society religiously and culturally distant from theirs, most diasporas are happy to compromise in order to integrate in Brunei society. Of course, as a natural rule, as time passes, the ties and bond get weaker among generations. The weaker is the tie, the lesser is the linkage. However, the sentimental attachment diaspora may harbour for their countries of birth may not automatically die down nor do their ties with destinations.

文莱的侨民社区:文化、种族和融合

文莱超过三分之一的劳动力是外籍人士。他们中的很大一部分已经以各种身份在文莱停留了二十多年。本文阐述了文化、种族和融合的概念要求,以展示来自不同来源、宗​​教和种族的人们如何在文莱定居并最终融入文莱社会。本文将其论点置于语境中,引发了关于整合、宗教和文化矛盾心理的论述。对一些基于滚雪球技术选择的侨民进行了定性研究。研究表明,虽然散居地在两端(起点和目的地)之间保持互惠关系,但他们中的大多数人都在文莱找到了自己的心。在一个宗教和文化上远离他们的社会,大多数侨民乐于妥协以融入文莱社会。当然,作为自然规律,随着时间的流逝,世代之间的纽带和纽带会越来越弱。联系越弱,联系就越少。然而,侨民对出生国可能怀有的情感依恋可能不会自动消失,他们与目的地的联系也不会自动消失。
