The Independent: Brunei cancels Christmas: Sultan warns those celebrating could face up to five years in jail
The punishment for celebrating Christmas is a fine of $20,000, up to five years in prison or both

Brunei introduced its ban on Christmas last year over fears that celebrating it "excessively and openly" could lead its Muslim population astray.
