MELAKA: For 95-year-old army veteran Simon Lazaroo, a small medal carries the weight of a lifetime of service.
Just days before National Day, the Portuguese descendant from the Settlement in Ujong Pasir was bestowed the Bintang Cemerlang Melaka (BCM) at an investiture ceremony last Sunday in conjunction with Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Dr Mohd Ali Rustam’s birthday, making him the oldest recipient that day.
