Malaya Borneo Exhibition 1922
Here is a Silver Medal commemorating this event. From my research it appears these were originally issued as a medallion however this example has been converted to wear as a medal. It is unissued or un-awarded to any individual as the reverse is not inscribed.
"The Malaya-Borneo Exhibition was an exhibition of the trade and economic possibilities of British Malaya and British Borneo which was arranged to synchronise with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's visit to Singapore in March 1922. Governor Sir Lawrence Guillemard conceived the idea of bringing people together from the Malaya peninsula and Borneo for the purpose of enhancing trade and other mutual benefits."
