Default Far East patches?
Does anyone know what these two are please? I was told by the person I acquired them from, that they may be Malaysian, but I don't think they are.
Any pointers as to the country and units would be much appreciated.

Many thanks to you all for the identification of the second badge as being Indonesian, and the information given on it. That's all most useful.
I hope maybe someone may also have thoughts on the first one shown eventually.
