Multilingua Billboard

This is just a collection of my pictures of the shop signs in Brunei. It looks like that you can make great money through billboard business. Look, at least 2 languages -- often more -- are needed to identify a shop or product. Even the simplest brand or name would need more than the minimum material and size. Signs written in 3 languages: Arabic, Chinese, and Malay (or English), are common sight in Brunei. Although Indians are frequently seen in Brunei, I can't remember seeing a sign written in Hindi like in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe adding Hindi to the signs would make the signs look like giant dictionaries instead.
