Ma'af ampun, adapun Sultan bagi Negara Brunei Darussalam di-ishtiharkan menjadi Sultan pada ampat (4) haribulan October tahun sa-ribu sembilan ratus anam puloh tujoh (1967), bukan-nya satu haribulan August pada tahun berikut-nya saperti mana tuan telah menyatakan. Neschaya satu haribulan August tahun sa-ribu sembilan ratus anam puloh lapan ada-lah tarikh Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan dan Yang Di-Pertuan Negara Brunei di-puspa, tetapi Baginda sudah-lah menjadi Sultan pada tarikh yang lebih awal itu.
