You will see below that under the authority shown approval has now been given for those who are entitled to wear the Pingat Jasa Malaysia medal.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said: "I am delighted that Her Majesty The Queen has given approval for veterans to formally wear the Pingat Jasa Malaysia medal in recognition of service given in the difficult years leading up to and following Malaysian independence. This timely decision is particularly welcome for veterans who will, for the first time, be able to wear this medal with pride on Remembrance Sunday."
Lord Ramsbotham who with others was responsible for achieving this approval when asked this morning where one places the medal, replied:
"My understanding, and where I will put it, is that it comes after all UK and UN medals and also recent campaigns. In other words left of the line!"
