KUALA LUMPUR: With age catching up, the Malaysian Ex-British Army Association is facing a “sunset”, with dwindling members.
Revealing their predicament, association president Abdul Rahman Ahmad said that of the initial 1,100 members, only 370 were active, while 39 had passed away.
“The rest cannot be traced as they have either shifted or migrated elsewhere, and have not forwarded their latest mailing addresses or contact details. We have even lost communication with their widows or next-of-kin.
