ANZAC Day remembrance in Kuala Lumpur
In Malaysia, Freemasons took part in the ANZAC Day commemorations at Tugu Negara, Kuala Lumpur’s National War Memorial, standing alongside international dignitaries, veterans and defence representatives.
The Masonic Order of Athelstan in South East Asia played a key role in the service, with Brethren participating in wreath-laying and remembrance activities. The occasion reinforced the importance of international remembrance and shared respect for those who served and sacrificed.
The event also marked a strengthening of engagement between Freemasons, veterans’ organisations and diplomatic communities across South East Asia, highlighting the global reach of remembrance traditions.
Armed Forces Covenant signing – Mark Masons’ Hall
A significant milestone in Freemasonry’s support for the Armed Forces community was the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant by the Grand Masters of Mark Masons’ Hall Orders, as reported by the United Grand Lodge of England.
This formal commitment reinforces the organisation’s pledge to ensure that those who serve, or have served, in the Armed Forces are treated with fairness and respect. It also strengthens ongoing collaboration between Masonic Orders and national Armed Forces support frameworks.
