• Ministry To Revive Hang Tuah Medal Award The Hang Tuah Medal Award for child heroes, which was discontinued in 1977, will be revived. Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said the ministry would bring back the award to honour heroes aged 18 years and below who demonstrated the qualities of legendary Malay hero Hang Tuah such as wisdom, leadership, excellence, courage, intelligence, caring, sacrifice and loyalty. The Hang Tuah Medal Award was first presented in 1960 to 16-year-old Mohamad Nor Omar who saved two children, aged 7 and 12 years, from drowning in Sungai Terengganu. During the 17 years of the award before it was withdrawn in 1977, 30 child heroes were honoured. In 1982, a Child Leader Award (Anugerah Tokoh Kanak-Kanak) was introduced which was replaced by the Promising Youth Award (Anugerah Tunas Jaya) in 1991. bernama.com 2 Dec 05

• Sixteen Dayak war heroes honoured Sixteen Dayak war heroes, who received gallantry awards for their acts of bravery while serving in the army and police were given a special tribute by the Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI). They included Awang Raweng and Kanang Langkau. Awang, from Nanga Skrang in Sri Aman Division, was a tracker with a British army when they were ambushed by about 50 communists on May 27, 1951 in Labis, Segamat in Johor. In the ambush, Awang, despite being badly injured, saved the life of a wounded British soldier. For his outstanding bravery, he was awarded the George Cross Medal - the only one given to a local during the Emergency. Sergeant (r) Kanang Langkau, from Julau, was awarded the Pingat Gagah Berani, the nation's second highest gallantry award, for his heroic act in killing three terrorists and seizing a carbine, two hand grenades, 31 bobby traps and eight haversacks during Ops Setia in Sungai Siput, Perak, on June 1, 1979. In another encounter with the terrorists in February 1980 in Tanah Hitam, also in Perak, Kanang was badly injured when the combat intelligence section, which he led, fought in a gun battle with the communists, killing five of them. He received the nation's highest gallantry award, the Sri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa. nst.com.my 31 Dec 05

• Brave hearts Unexpected events sometimes provide quite ordinary people with the chance to do extraordinary things. Such was the nature of the fateful incident in Port Dickson last Dec 4, which could have ended tragically if not for Muhammad Firdaus Haris, who jumped into a pool — although he could not swim — to save a four-year-old from drowning. This selfless act of bravery has received the recognition it deserves in the form of the Pingat Hang Tuah. For 23 years, we gave this medal to children who put themselves in harm’s way to save the lives of others. But it was discontinued in 1983. The revival of the award is to be welcomed because there is a need to recognise acts of extraordinary courage by young people. nst.com.my 27 Mar 06

• Fight 4 the PJM Web Site “Pingat Jasa Malaysia” can be translated as "The Malaysian Service Medal". The medal was offered at the end of 2004 to the Commonwealth countries who served Malaysia - including Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, the United Kingdom and, never to be forgotten, the Gurkhas. Foreign and Commonwealth medals have to be accepted by The Queen on the advice of the Government of each Commonwealth country involved where she is head of State. After a short period of consultation the Governments of Australia and New Zealand accepted the medal without restriction for their citizens. The British Government, however, announced in the House of Lords that they would refuse the Malaysian medal for British citizens on the basis that the award was contrary to British Medals Policy. In early 2005 intensive lobbying commenced to try and reverse that decision and after a few months the Secretary of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) announced that the FCO had submitted a paper to the Committee on the Grants of Honours, Decorations and Medals (known as the HD Committee which advises The Queen on these matters) asking them to review their policy in respect of foreign awards and the PJM. After several months the HD Committee met on the 7th December 2005 to carry out the review but their recommendation was not announced until a written Ministerial Statement was made in the Commons on the 31 st January 2006 - the day after medals were presented in Australia where the medal can now be proudly worn. The British HD Committee’s recommendation, however, was that British citizens could accept the medal but they would not be allowed to wear it. This astonishing compromise means that The Queen has granted a wearable medal to her Australian and New Zealand citizens, but has refused the right to wear the PJM to her British citizens. fight4thepjm.org

• British War Veterans Honoured With PJM Medal Forty British war veterans, who served in Malaya during its early struggle towards nationhood, were honoured by Malaysia with the award of the Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM). The presentation took place at an emotional ceremony and many were seen with teary eyes when Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak addressed them. Said Gus Fletcher, 77, a former Special Branch officer in Kuala Pilah in Negeri Sembilan: "One thing I will never forget is the people (of the then Malaya). They were so friendly." Fletcher, who can read jawi and speaks and writes Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin, was awarded the George Medal by Queen Elizabeth for his valour in "Operation Googly" that killed two communist terrorists (CTs) and captured six others in Kuala Pilah in 1957.

• King to confer Federal Territory awards next year Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin will confer new awards, honours and medals specially for the Federal Territories in conjunction with Federal Territory Day celebrations beginning next year.  Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Sidek Hassan said they were suggested by Tuanku Mizan, who felt it necessary as the Federal Territories did not bestow awards and honours like the other states. The honours list would be arranged by the Federal Territories Ministry with the co-operation of the Protocol and International Conference Secretariat of the Prime Minister’s Department, he said in a statement.  Sidek said the proposal was based on the opinion that since its declaration in 1974, the Federal Territories had recorded robust growth with three regions under its ambit, namely Kuala Lumpur, Labuan (1984) and Putrajaya (2001). “Taking into consideration the large population besides its status as the main ‘gateway’ of the country’s administration and development, it is appropriate that the honours list be accorded to honour and recognise the contribution of Federal Territory residents as well as non-residents,” he said.  He added that the Cabinet unanimously agreed to the King’s recommendations. The awards and decorations are Seri Mahkota Wilayah (SMW), which carries the title Datuk Seri; Panglima Mahkota Wilayah (PMW), which carries the title Datuk; Johan Mahkota Wilayah (JMW); Kesatria Mahkota Wilayah (KMW); Ahli Mahkota Wilayah (AMW); and Pingat Pangkuan Mahkota Wilayah (PPW). The number of recipients for SMW is limited to 25, followed by PMW (75), JMW (200). There is no limit of recipients for the KMW, AMW and PPW.  Nominations are opened in several categories. The forms will be distributed beginning Aug 30 and the closing date is Oct 15. The forms are also posted on the Federal Territories Ministry website at www.kwp.gov.my. thestar.com.my 25 Aug 07
• Malaysia honors DVD-sniffing dogs as they end 6-month assignment Malaysia gave a hero's send-off Monday to Lucky and Flo, honoring the two DVD-sniffing dogs with medals as they ended a six-month assignment that netted 1.6 million illegal movie discs. The two black Labradors looked puzzled when a multitude of press photographers' flash bulbs went off as Malaysia's deputy trade minister S. Veerasingham placed medals around their necks. "What they have helped us achieve in such a short time is remarkable," said Veerasingham. "Malaysia is committed to wiping out piracy and pirates. We will go after them very fast." The world's first dogs trained to identify optical discs by the scent of their chemicals, Lucky and Flo were loaned to the Malaysian government in March by the Motion Picture Association, a U.S.-based watchdog. During that stint - dubbed Operation Double Trouble - they helped unearth 1.6 million DVDs and other optical discs, three DVD replicating machines and 97 compact disc burners, worth $6 million. Twenty-six people were arrested during the raids. The operations were so successful that Malaysian movie pirates were reported to have placed a bounty of $29,000 on the dogs, prompting them to be kept under close guard. The two dogs will leave on Aug. 23 for New York, where they will take part in shows and also help in raids on movie pirates. The dogs cannot distinguish between pirated and legal discs, but that can be easily done by enforcement officers once the dogs had unearthed the caches. In at least one instance, the dogs uncovered a secret room behind a false wall. The domestic trade ministry will set up a canine unit later this year to unearth pirated DVDs. Two new dogs will be trained in Ireland by the same trainer who taught Lucky and Flo, said Veerasingham. mercurynews.com 20 Aug 07

• Malaysian armed forces chief gets ‘Philippine Legion of Honor’ President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo presented the distinguished "Philippine Legion of Honor" award to the chief of the Armed Forces of Malaysia, General Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Abdul bin Haj Zainal. President Arroyo handed the award "with the rank of Grand Officer" (Maringal na Pinuno) to Tan at Malacanang’s Reception Hall while his Philippine counterpart, General Hermogenes Esperon, looked on. The President “caused to be inscribed in the roster of the Philippine Legion of Honor" the Malaysian general’s name for having “distinguished himself in his chosen career." The general was also cited for having “helped strengthen further the close relations existing between the Philippines and Malaysia, particularly in the promotion of peace, security, and development in Mindanao." gmanews.tv 2 May 08

• Foreign Campaign Medals Awarded to New Zealanders—The Pingat Jasa Malaysia Medal Prime Minister Helen Clark announced today that the Queen has given her approval for eligible New Zealanders who served in Malaya / Malaysia to wear the Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) medal.  Helen Clark said the Malaysian government wishes to award the PJM medal to those who served in Malaya / Malaysia for at least 90 days, between 31 August 1957 and 31 December 1966. This also includes service in Singapore up to 9 August 1965. "New Zealand and Malaysia enjoy a long-standing and valuable defence relationship. The Malaysian government's offer of the PJM medal is an acknowledgement of the contribution made by New Zealanders to the security of Malaysia, and the region," Helen Clark said. Defence Minister Mark Burton said while the PJM medal is a foreign award, it would be administered by the New Zealand Defence Force. The medal recognises certain service in Malaya, Borneo, and Singapore between 1957 and 1966.  "The NZDF will act as the agent for the Malaysian government in the administration of the PJM award. However, in all possible circumstances, senior representatives from the Malaysian government will present medals in person to recipients, including the next of kin in the case of posthumous awards," Mark Burton said.  Application forms should be sent to: Medals Office, Headquarters New Zealand Defence Force, Private Bag 905, Upper Hutt, New Zealand. Once the applications have been verified, they will be forwarded to the High Commission of Malaysia, in Wellington, which will undertake the approval and presentation of the PJM medal to eligible veterans. Further details on the eligibility criteria, and application forms, are available from the NZ Defence Force Medals website: www.nzdf.mil.nz/medals

He is now paralysed waist down and confined to a wheelchair. Edwin was a detective with the Johor serious crimes division. He was part of the task force investigating a ruthless armed robbery gang which had targeted banks, shops and mobile phone outlets. Intelligence gathered revealed the involvement of several rogue policemen in the gang. And since the gang had struck in Johor and Kuala Lumpur, police from both the states were involved in the operation. On that day, Edwin's team had learnt that the gang had struck in Johor and several members were seen leaving the state. A team from Johor trailed the robbers to the Grand Seasons Hotel, opposite the Kuala Lumpur Hospital. Edwin and his team arrived at the hotel and after parking their vehicles in the basement, they spotted one of their targets come out of the lift and walk towards a car. The detective immediately sprang into action. "I confronted the suspect and ordered him to hit the ground. "He looked shocked but obeyed," Edwin said. He pounced on the suspect and was handcuffing him when an accomplice who was later identified as one of the rogue cops, came up from behind. As Edwin stood and pulled the earlier suspect to his feet, the rogue policemen opened fire. The detective suffered three gunshots, two to his abdomen and one hitting the spine. For his bravery and willingness to risk his life in the line of duty, Edwin nathan Anthony was awarded the Police Bravery Medal. nst.com.my 10 Jan 09
