9M50MP (Penang). Those 9M50 calls were issued for the
Merdeka Day to each State for August 31st and only supposed to be valid
on August 31st and September 1st. 

The BARC had 9M50MS from the clubhouse with that call on those dates. 

Seems a bit naughty for Penang to still be using 9M50MP now especially
in Contests. 

So they might not have even been 'legal'

Enjoy
