What a slap in the face for a friendly Muslim country like Malaysia.
The UK Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals accepted, on behalf of HM The Queen, the offer of a Commemorative Medal made to the Commonwealth countries who were involved in the formation of the State of Malaysia. But the country which claims to be the Head of The Commonwealth refuses to allow it's veterans to wear the medal, even though the same UK Committee accepted the medal .
Meanwhile, HM The Queen of Australia and HM The Queen of New Zealand accepted the medal and gave Her permission to wear the medal on all occasions. This earns great respect to those two countries from Malaysia. And by doing so, they honour the graciousness of Malaysia in awarding the award.
Who is it that is responsible for bringing shame upon HM The Queen, the Head of The Commonwealth?
Answer: The UK Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals.
To date, no reason has been given for this shameful decision. Could it be that they are ashamed to give a reason?
