Remembrance Day 2012 in Penang

I came across these Remembrance Day pictures from BuletinMutiara in facebook. I'm glad that it turned out to be quite a ceremony. The date was 18 Nov 2012.

Just a question: why didn't someone (the organisers) give a poppy to the Chief Minister? Everybody seemed to be wearing one, except him, and he was the most important guest at the wreath-laying ceremony.
