Pingat Jasa Malaysia

Citation: "This medal is awarded to the peacekeeping groups amongst the Communion countries for distinguished chivalry, gallantry, sacrifice or loyalty in upholding Peninsula of Malaya or Malaysia sovereignty during the period of Emergency and Confrontation."

Author’s Note: I have been awarded the Pingat Jasa Malaysia but we have been told we cannot wear it by our silly government. We have just had our Remembrance day and Malaya and Borneo vets all wore it. I don’t think we broke any law… but I did draft a daft verse.

GOVERNMENT RECOGNITION…?

I pinned this medal on my chest
And then strolled into town
So now it seems I risk arrest
Christ, don’t life get you down!
