Has the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office missed yet another trick? Or are they being their usual manipulative selves?
Remember how the PJM was offered to Commonwealth forces by the King and Government of Malaysia?
Has the British Government waited until he was replaced before making an announcement about the PJM? Snubbing the outgoing King again. They could - they are that callous as we experienced in January when they timed the release of the initial recommendation which addressed the sensitivities of the Queen's Representative in Oz (who well deserves his PJM, as do all Aussies) but snubbed the King of Malaysia (and 35,000 British veterans).
Sultan Mizan Zainal AbidinMizan — whose state has significant offshore oil and gas resources — will assume the throne on Dec. 13 as Malaysia's 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Perhaps his oil and gas resources are more attractive to those running the Imperial Honours System!
