hari tu di windsor castle..ini pula laporan Kak Tehdari Buckingham palace
[table=98%][tr][td]Saturday, 3 May 2008 [/td][/tr][tr][td]Our Boys are in Town 2[/td][/tr][tr][td] Being around our boys these last few days reminded me of Pak Tam.
Pak Tam was the only one in our family who was in the Royal Malay Regiment.
We used to look forward to his return, all dark and sunburnt and lots of stories to tell.
One day, he came back with a photograph of a sweet young lady in kebaya and kain ketat who was later to become our Mak Tam.
Pak Tam was always in the jungles. He wore those green army uniforms that never failed to impress us.
Having been to the jungles was enough to impress us little ones.
Can you imagine if he had been to Buckingham Palace to guard the Queen抯 palace?
But Pak Tam, needless to say never made it to Buckingham Palace
- not even London.
The last time I saw him, he was injured.
He broke his leg climbing a rambutan tree.
Never been injured in service, yet a climb up the rambutan tree saw to it that he'd never march the same again.
Anyway, last Friday, we were at Buckingham Palace. The sun was out and so was the crowd
I was told later that a Malay lady stood at the railings and bawled her eyes out when she saw our boys in the baju Melayu and heard the songs that reminded her of home she had not seen in 25 years.
itulah pepatah melayu ada berkata, "Kuman seberang laut nampak, Gajah depan mata tak nampak". MOD Britain yang highlight yang benda ini pun menaikkan imej Islam di mata dunia...jadi nampaknya askar melayu yang kononnya jadi "jaga bangla" kat sana memang berbaloi la ya
120 soldiers of the Royal Malay Regiment have become the first all-Islamic Company to provide a British monarch's ceremonial guard. Report by Shell Daruwala.

At Buckingham Palace today, Friday 2 May 2008, red jackets and black bearskins were replaced by pristine white tunics, brocade 'sampins' and gold-banded 'songkoks', when the Malay Regiment changed guards with 1st Battalion Welsh Guards.
The Regiment is visiting the UK to strengthen ties between Malaysia and the UK. Malaysia is only the fourth Commonwealth nation, after Canada, Australia and Jamaica, to be honoured in performing Public Duties in England.
Major Mohd Fuad bin Md Ghazali led his Company as the Malaysian Army's first Captain of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. He said:
"It is a great honour to be here guarding Her Majesty, who is the Head of the Commonwealth, and it is an expression of the close ties between our two countries."
The Royal Malay Regiment (RMR), or Rejimen Askar Melayu DiRaja, is the most senior in the Malaysian Army. The 1st Battalion (1 RMR) is the ceremonial battalion to their King and only draws recruits from the ethnic Malay population. Because the State religion of Malaysia is Islam, the elite soldiers of the 1st Battalion must all be practicing Muslims.

The Regiment's own band accompanied the Guards onto the parade ground today. Wearing Malay dress uniform consisting of white tunics and trousers, gold and green brocade 'sampins' (a type of kilt or sarong), topped off with gold-banded, green velvet 'songkoks' (Islamic caps), the bandsmen played a selection of traditional Malaysian tunes to the delight of the gathered crowds.
Major Norhisham bin Kamar, of 1 RMR, said that this was a proud moment for the Regiment:
"This is a very historical moment for us doing this job, and we will show the best to the audience here, as well as to the Queen.

By CHOI TUCK WO A contingent of the Royal Malay Regiment engaged in performing ceremonial duties at Windsor Castle has attracted a lot of interest.
TRUE to its reputation as one of Britain抯 top 20 tourist attractions, Windsor Castle never fails to draw the crowds

THE presence of the Royal Malay Regiment (RMR) in full military splendour brought out the crowd to Buckingham Palace yesterday.

Even the sun shone and the atmosphere was like a carnival with people sitting in the park with their picnics.
The 1st Battalion took up their post at the Buckingham Palace yesterday, three days after their first ceremonial duties at Windsor Castle.
The flag, fluttering on top of Buckingham Palace denotes the presence of Queen Elizabeth II and this brought a lot of excitement among those involved, knowing that the queen could be watching them on parade.
Led by Captain of the Guard Major Mohd Fuad Mohd Ghazali, the London Public Duties Company, as they are known here, marched from Wellington Barracks to Buckingham Palace, with the regiment's brass band playing patriotic songs along the way.
At the palace grounds, it was a ceremony full of tradition as the members of the RMR took over the duties from the Welsh Guards, watched by a large crowd of locals and tourists.
As bands from both regiments took turns to play their songs, members of the RMR escorted the Welsh Guards from their posts and out of the palace.
At the same time, Welsh Guards from St James Palace nearby were escorted back by the members of the RMR.
For added colour, two horse-drawn carriages carrying diplomats arrived at the palace to present their credentials to the Queen.
When the Welsh Guards left the palace gates, the members of the RMR were officially in charge guarding the palace.
Garrison Sergeant Major Warrant Officer 1 W.D.G Mott, who went to Malaysia to arrange for the two-month long ceremonial duties, said he was very impressed with the performance.
"I am very sure Her Majesty was watching," he added.
At Windsor Castle, watching the Changing of the Guards ceremony was Peter Bolton, 84, who was with the 3rd Malay Regiment in the 1950s.
"I trained them. I am very happy to see them here," he said proudly.
Bolton is a recipient of the Pingat Jasa Malaysia for his services during the emergency.
Malaysian Defence Attache Colonel Mohd Tajri Mohd Alwi is confident that the company will maintain its good showing throughout its stint here.
One hundred and twenty two members and eight officers of the RMR arrived on April 17, a cold wet day for a two-month stint in London.
Their duties would include guarding Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and St James Palace. They are also taking part in a ceremony at the Tower of London.
Next week, they will be performing at the Royal Windsor Tattoo as well as at the interval during a rugby match in Twickenham.
They are based at the Royal Air Force Base in Uxbridge.
Members and officers of the regiment expressed great pride in being able to carry out the ceremonial duties at the palaces.
Malaysia is the fourth country to be invited to do so after Australia, Canada and Jamaica.
