While watching  TV 3's Channel news at 12 noon today, I suddenly saw the Chief of Army sending  off Malcoy 7 on a UN mission to Lebanon effectively today, 21st Jul 2011. The team together with a another coy from Brunei, was headed by our Skot Lt Col Hassim Mat. I had earlier received a message from our skot as follows:

'Skot, Saya akan berkhidmat dalam misi UNIFIL mulai 21 Jul 2011 hingga 21 Jul 2012. Pse keep me in touch. Thanks'
