Pengiran Abidin bin Pengiran Ahmad[3] is a Bruneian military officer who served as the Commander of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF); Malay: Angkatan Bersenjata Diraja Brunei (ABDB), from 1997 until 1999.
As one of the first pilots in the Royal Brunei Air Force (RBAirF / TUDB), him and Jocklin Kongpaw have indirectly contributed to the growth and advancement of RBAirF, where their dedication and open sacrifice have become one of the sources of motivation and inspiration for all ABDB members, especially TUDB, to carry out the tasks and missions required by ABDB and the nation.[4]
