Pingat Jasa Medal Latest Info 23rd August 2009.
The National Malaya and Borneo Veterans Association has
stated that the process of issuing the medals is now taking at least three years
from the date of application. The process of presenting or posting the medals to
applicants is currently on hold as the Malaysian High Commission ran out of medals
last May(2008). They are expecting a delivery of 6,000 medals this year
followed by a further 6,000 in 2010. The National Malaya and Borneo Veterans
Association's PJM Co-ordinator, Fred Burden, points out that there are currently
over 16,000 still awaiting their medals and that priority will be given to those
who applied in 2006. Fred spoke with the Malaysian High Commissioner on Saturday
15th August and they are jointly attempting to get the Malaysian Government to
increase the number of medals being made available this year.
The Malaysian High Commission in London stated
that the closing date to apply for the Pingat Jasa Malaysia Medal will remain indefinate
until further notice.
Any member wishing to
apply for the PJM should contact me for further information and an application
form by using the contact page on this website.
