A total of 101 students from various schools received awards during an annual ceremony organised by the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF) for their outstanding results, in comparison to last year’s 87 students.
This was revealed by Major Mohd Yusree bin Haji Mohd Yusainey, Chairman of the event, which was held in conjunction with the 55th anniversary of the RBAF at Pahlawan Hall in the Berakas Garrison yesterday.
