  • I attended the Merdeka ceremony in Malacca in 1958. At the end of the day the Governor embarked in my ship, HMS St Brides Bay, and we took him to Singapore. I was in Malacca a few years ago, but I didn't know about this Memorial. Now, thanks to Wikimapia, I do know about it, and I shall visit it next time I come here.
