Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) medal

This is why most Veterans do NOT belong to former service associations.

If you have been awarded it, no one will stop you from wearing it, unless they are a complete arsehole, and there's lots of them out there.

Terima kasih, Tuan.

Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) medal

A statement to the press was published on the 6 Nov 2011 by the MOD which outlined that for the first time British Veterans could wear the PJM during Remembrance Events from 11 November 2011. The full statement is as follows VETERANS TO WEAR MALAYSIA MEDAL OFFICIALLY FOR FIRST TIME British veterans awarded the Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) medal have been given permission by Her Majesty The Queen to wear it for the first time during Remembrance events next Sunday. The Government of Malaysia introduced the medal in 2005 and awarded it to British and Commonwealth veterans who served in the conflict in Malaya in the late 1950s and 1960s. Approval is not normally given for foreign medals to be accepted if British recognition for a campaign has already been presented. Previously, veterans had been able to accept but not wear the medal. It has now been agreed they can both accept and wear the PJM. Read more at www.royal-naval-association.co.uk
