A spokesman for the Aviation Security Centre of the Da Nang International Airport announced on Thursday that the centre’s staff returned a luxury watch left at the security checkpoint to its Brunei owner.

The 40,000 US$ Ulysse Nardin watch

After checking in for his Vietnam Airlines-operated flight VN121 to Ho Chi Minh City at Da Nang International Airport at around 10am on 11 March, Mr Adnin Musa left his around 40,000 US$ Ulysse Nardin watch at the security checkpoint.

After recognising that he left his luxury watch at the airport security check-point, he immediately asked for help from the Da Nang branch of the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) to contact the Aviation Security Centre and the Da Nang International Airport for assistance.

Mr Ha Huu Hoang, Deputy Director of the Aviation Security Centre, said, at noon on the same day, he received a report about a Brunei high-ranking official leaving his watch at the airport.

Shortly after, representatives from the Da Nang Aviation Security Centre handed the luxury watch left by Mr Adnin Musa to Ms Hong Ju Khee, Deputy Executive Director of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC), in Da Nang. She was authorised by Mr Adnin Musa to receive his left item.

It is known that Mr Adnin Musa arrived in Da Nang on 10 March to attend the ASEAN-BAC.
