As the RMR (Royal Malay Regiment) had their final Changing the Guard Ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Jun10,it marks the end of their maiden overseas mission!
Malaysia is the 4th country to be invited to send troops for such a stint after Australia,Canada and Jamaica.!
Back home in Malaysia, the RMR besides guarding the Istana Negara (National Palace,) they also guard the Parliament House.
