Musa Yakub

At the "Boys Wing" Federation of Malaya Military College at Sungai Besi, Federation of Malaya, two Bruneians participated in a training program for the armed forces. They were given the rank of second lieutenant after finishing the training successfully. Junior Lieutenants Musa and another are the individuals in question. Members of the Royal Brunei Malay Regiment (RBMR) participated in a historic incident on 8 October 1966, when they searched and subsequent capture of the four TKNU remnants in Bukit Belalong, which is located in Temburong District's southern region. Junior Lieutenants Musa and Hussein bin Mohammad were given instructions to carry out the duty with their respective platoons.{{Cite web |last=Pehin Kolonel (B) Dato Paduka Haji Abdul Jalil bin Haji Ahmad |author-link=Abdul Jalil Ahmad |date=2017-06-10 |title=Selamat Ulang Tahun ABDB |url=https://mediapermata.com.bn/selamat-ulang-tahun-abdb/ |access-date=2022-12-20 |website=mediapermata.com.bn |language=ms}}{{Cite journal |last=Bachamiya A Hussainmiya |first= |date=2012-01-01 |title=Royal Brunei Arrmed Forces 50th anniversary Commemorative History |url=https://www.academia.edu/101474835/Royal_Brunei_Arrmed_Forces_50th_anniversary_Commemorative_History |journal=RBAF 50th Golden Anniversary Commemorative Book |publisher=Southeastern University of Sri Lanka |page= |pages=12-24}}

The local troops from the regiment's number 6 and 9 platoons really participated in small-scale field operations in Bukit Belalong. The four TNKU members had snuck into the area from the Sarawak. After the search and cordon procedures, the four uniformed and rather malnourished members of the TNKU turned themselves in to the party that was approaching. TNKU badges, eighty-four rounds of various ammunition, and six automatic rifles were also discovered inside the shack where they were hiding.

In the subsequent year, the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III bestowed the Order of Perwira Agong Negara Brunei First Class (PANB) to Second Lieutenant Musa during the investiture ceremony held on 18 April 1967 in Istana Darul Hana. Using their military expertise, he and Second Lieutenant Hussein successfully apprehended four insurgents in the woods near Sungai Mani, Batang Duri. Their service and achievements during the rebel search were recognised with the award of the order.

In 1967, Junior Lieutenant Musa and two others attended a Commonwealth firearms course in Warminster Military School, England for three weeks.{{Cite news |date=1967-01-18 |title=Menghadhiri Kursus Ketenteraan Di-England |url=https://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Arkib%20Dokumen/1967/PB%2018%20Jan%201967.pdf |access-date=2023-10-04 |work=www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn |pages=7 |language=ms}} When the first army cadet program was implemented in secondary schools in June 1970, Bruneian schools were transformed into a breeding ground for potential recruits. The students in the armed forces were to be trained by the commanders and NCOs. The initial officer to lead the school cadets was Captain Musa. Once again in 1972, Major Musa would undergo a Military Recruiting Course at the British Military Recruiting School in the United Kingdom for a year.{{Cite news |date=1972-01-05 |title=Pegawai2 AMDB berkursus di-U.K. |url=https://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Arkib%20Dokumen/1972/5%20januari%201972.pdf |access-date=2023-10-04 |work=www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn |pages=2 |language=ms}} From January 1982 to April 1982, he was appointed as commander of Training Institute RBAF.{{Cite web |title=MINDEF - Training Institute History |url=https://www.mindef.gov.bn/SitePages/Training%20Institute%20History.aspx |access-date=2023-10-04 |website=www.mindef.gov.bn}}
