• 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 During the 17 years of the award before it was withdrawn in 1977, 30 child heroes were honoured.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
