Jocklin bin Kongpaw is a Bruneian military officer and diplomat who became the high commissioner to Canada from 1998 to 2001,[1] and Australia from 2001 to 2004.
[4] After completing all domestic and foreign flight training, two local officers, Second Lieutenants Abidin and Jocklin were given the pilot badge for the first time by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah on 6 August 1968, marking a very significant moment for the Royal Brunei Malay Regiment (RBMR).
The presentation ceremony was further enhanced at that time by a flight display at Istana Darul Hana that utilised a Bell 206B helicopter.
[6] RBMR created history on 14 August 1967, when the two pilots were sent to British Executive Air Services Limited at Kidlington in Oxfordshire, England, for basic flight training.
Before going to training in the United Kingdom, the two officers also completed flying school in Sabah, Malaysia, to obtain a pilot's license.
