Am dividing my resources between Federated Malay States and this article. After some research time managed to confirm exactly how the coat of arms of the straits settlement look like (ref from the back of old malayan ringgit notes and some incomplete image that I had to completely clean up and (for some part) redo. Will get back to this if have more time.
