In his statement, Al Haj Murad said the coming to Camp Darapanan, particularly during the Holy Month of Ramadhan, of RBAF Commander Gen Dato Tawih Bin Adbullah is a clear manifestation of strong commitment and support of His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah to the GPH – MILF Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.
