Hugh Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yes, yes, I know, Singapore isn't part of Malaysia any more, but it was then. Malay is still the national language of Singapore (as opposed to the four "official" languages - English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil).

The collar and the topmost star are Sultan Mahmud as originally labeled. The sash is: MALAYSIA-TERENGGANU - (Panglima) Dato' Paduka Mahkota Terengganu (DPMT), Commander (2nd Class), Darjah Kebesaran Mahkota Terengganu Yang Amat Dihormati (The Most Honourable Order of the Crown of Terengganu), Shoulder sash with badge and star, MintAlan Tan, Singapore, 5/91 The star for the Crown Order is cut off in the picture originally posted, but I've included it here. Apologies to all, but especially to Megan who is trying to make some sense out of all this. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Thanks, Lukasz! I've been waiting a long time to learn this. Any comments on the others?HughYour obedient servant! I was just speechless when I saw your photos. They are great indeed! I am particularly obliged for the photos of Sarawak orders. They are extremely hard to find. I once made a compilation of all ribbons of Malaysian orders and medals available to me. Here is the Sarawak section: http://www.medals.lava.pl/my/my3.htm#msk. I still have some doubts about the names of Sarawak orders. According to my research the Order of Kenyalang has a still different ribbon - yellow with black central stripe and red edges. But you are never sure about Sarawak orders, which are the most mysterious of all Malaysian states. The Order of the Star of Sarawak adopted a new ribbon in 1988. If you have any additional information, please share!I am also not sure about the Order of the Crown of Terengganu. Either it is a fake ribbon (this ribbon is used by the Order of Kinabalu of Sabah - the 1970 type), or they adopted a new one recently (this happens ocassionally with Malaysian orders). The badge is certainly that of the Order of the Crown. Yours is a great contribution to GMIC indeed. I am sure other GMIC members will say the same. Thanks a lot!Lukasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks for your kind comments, Lukasz. Most of my Sarawak pieces came from a manufacturer, as did the Terengganu Grand Cross sets. Since many of the State ODM emerged after O'Toole did his work, I have relied heavily on "Malaysian Protocol and Correct Forms of Address" by Abdullah Ali. It is primarily focused on the subjects in the title, but does have a state-by-state section listing orders and decorations, incuding royal decorations and orders of chivalry and classes, decorations and medals. Unfortunately, there is no description nor a single picture of the ODM. I look forward to anything more you have in this SE Asia area. (And how did a Polish guy become involved with Sarawak?)Best,Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
