In May 1983, it was officially announced that the actual date of Brunei independence would be 1 January 1984, ending the ninety-five years of British protection over Brunei.
The ceremony was celebrated in accordance with Brunei's tradition and Islamic practices. A mass Maghrib prayers were held at the mosque in the four districts (Brunei Muara, Tutong, Belait, Temburong) on 31st December 1983.
On 1 January 1984, His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah, the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam, read the proclamation of Full Independence.
The National day is on the 23rd February. In 2008, Brunei had celebrated the 24th years of its full independence.
