"“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed” (Adolf Hitler)".
If this is the big plan of the unelected and apparently unaccountable members of the HD Committee, then I have news for them:-
*Not in my lifetime will I accept your persistent propagation of this misinformation, in flagrant denial of the facts, and the London Gazette entry of May 1968.
*I strongly suspect that 35,000 of my comrades will not accept it either. They will of course speak for themselves as those that are fair and honourable do.
*In all honour, why can't they accept they have made two major errors in judgement.
First they quite unjustly recommended to Her Majesty that British servicemen alone should be refused their right to wear the Pingat Jasa Malaysia medal.
Secondly, that they thought a group of old soldiers would just have a quick grumble (as is the tradition) and then meekly accept the injustice visited upon them.

On both counts - WRONG,WRONG,WRONG.
