The answer here seems to emphasise the Them and Us attitude of the ruling elite, most of whom wear decorations and medals for simply doing their jobs. They are also permitted to wear them. Well, we received the PJM from a grateful King and Nation for doing our job; ergo, we should be allowed to wear our medal as well. Incidently, the Malaysians are funding the whole project it will not therefore cost this country one pence (can I say a penny?) which I wouild have thought would have pleased her cash strapped Government.
