I'm wondering (particulary as the Malaya Command sign was an 11 point star yellow on red (North?) above black (South?)) if the yellow on black 11 point may be South Malaya District?

In Oct 53 Northern Malaya District was converted to 1st Federal Division - and logically would take over the same sign. Four years later this was titled 1st Federal Division/District reflecting the dual role of Operational Formation and Administrative Group. To add to the confusing changes of role and title, by Jul 62, up North there was North Malaya Sub-District. The fate of South Malaya District is even less clear! Mike
