The Fleet Commander of the Royal Brunei Navy, Captain Sonny Iskandar bin Rasani, RBN, also conducted a courtesy call on the Acting Belait District Officer, Awang Muhammad Faiq bin Haji Rani, as part of the programme.
The roadshow featured a range of outreach and community-focused activities, including an open ship programme at the Maritime Port Authority of Brunei Darussalam (MPABD) Port, public exhibitions and live band performances at Dewan Bandaran Kuala Belait.
