Default Brass Button from Malaysia need help identifying

Hi
This button was found in Malaysia at a WW2 British military site.
The Crown looks very much like the Johor crown however everything else say British.
The back is to far gone
Any help much appreciated

It is Egyptian. The slant anchor indicates a harbour authority.
Update: in an old collection it is listed as an unidentified Egyptian Yacht Club.

it seems the Egyptian crown is different. This really looks like Johor Crown with 5 pointer star and crescent at bottom of stars

I have checked the Johor crown and I agree.
The book is "still not as yet published".
