Letter from Janet Holmes a Court AO
22 April 1998
Correspondence from Mrs Janet Holmes a' Court AO (subsequently conferred AC), Executive Chairman, Heytesbury and Chairman John Holland following a trade mission to Sabah, Malaysia. Also congratulations on the conferral of the Panglima Gemilang Dahjar Kinabalu - Commander of the Order of Kinabalu Sabah Malaysia (PDGK) in Sabah. Janet Holmes a'Court expressed some dismay that the Award would not be publicised in Australia. Notwithstanding the seniority of the Malaysian Award Shane Stone chose not to publicize the conferral back in the Territory or Australia wide as he lacked the confidence that media would be mature and professional in its coverage and thereby cause offence to our near neighbours inadvertently or otherwise damaging our bi-lateral relationship.
