The body of missing National Serviceman Lance-Corporal (LCP) Muhammad Fahrurrazi Bin Salim has been found, and has been flown back to Singapore this afternoon.

LCP Fahrurrazi's body was found at 2.55am this morning in the Sungai Batu Apoi river, Temburong in Brunei, said the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) in a statement.

One of the Singapore Armed Forces search parties, which had continued the search throughout the night, found LCP Fahrurrazi's body about 200 metres from where he was first reported missing. His body was flown back this afternoon in a Republic of Singapore Air Force C-130 transport plane for a military funeral in Singapore.

More than 300 men from LCP Fahrurrazi's unit were present to give him a final salute at the military funeral today.


LCP Fahrurrazi had gone missing on Sunday during a water-crossing exercise. Minister for Defence Ng Eng Hen has written a letter to the family of the late LCP Fahrurrazi expressing deepest condolences for their loss. Mindef said it is assisting the family in their time of grief, and a full investigation will be conducted on the incident.

Mindef also thanked the Royal Brunei Armed Forces for their assistance in the search operations, and said that training and operations are still suspended.
