A new Anzac Club,, providing all amenities for the comfort of Australian and New Zealand troops in Malaya, was opened by the Governor of Malaya, Sir Shenton Thomas. The building was donated by the builder, who asked the authorities to accept it as an Englishman’s tribute to colonial troops. Speaking at the opening, the Governor said he wished to thank the men of Australia and New Zealand for the way in which they had fitted in with the life of Malaya. They had profoundly influenced the outlook of the country to the war. Wherever they had gone they had made friends and when the time came for them to move on. Malaya would miss them.
