It is indeed a surprise to see such a detail records of the BB Queen and Founder Badge winner.

It brings back such wonderful memories of my BB days with 1st KL.

My brother Chan Tong(1961)and I, appreciate your painstaking effort in building such a site.

Most of all we thank you for remembering us..we are so honoured!

God Bless!!

Hi Eddie,

Thanks for writing.

As for the replacement of your Founder's Badge, it is best that you contact BBM HQ at 603-7784-4262 to check for the proper replacement procedure.

Regarding the omission of names and the difference in dates, I can only say that whatever is recorded from this page is taken from BBM website and BBM records. Perhaps during your time, they counted from the time the people submitted their report.

During your time (before 1970), perhaps there is a different procedure and timing for approval. Maybe Peter Siew and the others' badges were approved earlier but not manage to be awarded due to lack of national level or state level events during those years, so he had to wait till 1969 to be awarded same time as you guys.

Again, back to the missing names, I apologize as we are unable to do anything unless there is any official documentation submitted to us either from that respective individuals or from BBM HQ, then we can include their names in our listing.

Actually, we are a private group of individuals who are interested in the statistics and preserving the honour roll of Founders' Men, not an official BBM affiliated site.

Once again, thanks for voicing out your concern to us.

Cheers,
Admin

Hi there.

Firs and foremost let me thank you guys for putting together a roll of honour for Queen's Men and Founder's Men in Malaysia.

My name is Rajivan Nambiar and am one of the Founder's Men listed on your roll. However, just to update your roll, both myself and Han Liang (2nd Penang) received our badges when we were Staff Sergeants with our Company. Our rank is missing from the list.

Hope you can update the roll accordingly with this information.

Thank you for the wonderful job!

Rajivan Nambiar

Just a slight correction to my rank. It was Staff Sergeant in 1964 when my name was nominated for the Award which was approved in 1965 when I was in Form VI in Johor Bahru helping to keep the 1st JB Company alive on life support. In 1966, that famous saviour, Captain Paul Juby formerly of 1st Sungai Petani was transferred to Johor and he took over from me and made 1st JB into one of the best companies in Malaysia.

For the record, I was physically given my badge at a ceremony in St Paul, an Anglican church in PJ in 1968 when I was a student at the University of Malaya.
