Subject to the determination of any appeal under section 33, any person who is ordered to be removed from Brunei Darussalam may be placed on board a suitable vessel or aircraft by any police officer or Immigration

Officer and may be lawfully detained on board such vessel or aircraft so long as the vessel or aircraft is within the limits of Brunei Darussalam.
