Bandar Seri Begawan - The Royal Malaysian Navy left the Sultanate yesterday morning with the Royal Brunei Navy crew sending it off at the end of a bilateral exercise.

The four vessels of the Royal Malaysian Navy - KD Paus, KD Pari, KD Handalan & KD Gempita - had been in Brunei Darussalam since July 24 to conduct the bilateral exercise with the Royal Brunei Navy.

It is the 16th session in a series of exercises hosted this year by the Royal Brunei Navy.

The KDB Waspada, KDB Pejuang, KDB Setria, KDB Perwira, KDB Pemburu & KDB Penyerang formed the 6 ships from the Royal Brunei Navy's fleet, which participated in the exercise. They joined two vessels of the Royal Malaysian Navy from East Malaysia and another two from West Malaysia, which combined to form the contingent from RMN. Altogether, 400 Navy personnel from 10 vessels involved in this year's exercise.

The opening ceremony conducted on July 26 signalled the commencement of the exercise, which was activated by Lt. Colonel (L) Abd. Aziz Hj. Mohd. Tamit, the Fleet Commander of the Royal Brunei Navy.

Aside from the bilateral exercise, social and sports activities were also organised to further enhance ties between the members of the Royal Brunei Navy and the Royal Malaysian Navy, who took part in the naval exercise. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
