THE Malaysian government has finally agreed to award the Pingat Jasa Malaysian medal known as the PJM to all eligible UK service personnel.
This had been awarded previously to Australian and New Zealand forces only.
To qualify you must have served for 90 days or more in Malaysia or Singapore. The dates are as follows: Malaysia, August 31 1957 August 12 1966 inclusive. Singapore, August 31 1957 August 9 1965 inclusive.
Application forms can be downloaded for www.fight4thepjm.org. This information will be of particular interest to most ex-Loyals.
