      Malaysia is only the fourth Commonwealth nation, after Canada, Australia and Jamaica, to be honoured and invited by the UK in performing Public Duties in England.

       a bit weird to have an SAF MP standing outside buckingham right?... might turn out to be a bit of an eyesore...

      anws, point of curios, are the guards issued with live rounds?

      (the malays are unarmed!)
