Wan ask this pingat perkidmatan awam, wats the menimum time period for qualified? Surf many website all have say "served for the qualifying period" or something like that but none stated the actual e.g. 5 year or 20 year or wat...

Anyone members of the arm forces here? Can provide more info? I saw almost every uniformed member regardless he police or army or pak guard at pintu gerbang istana or wat, mostly also have this medal.

Ya, is this one... oh okay, thanks a lot for the info. Coz I saw almost every uniformed ppl including polis also seem to have it...

One worst, I think I saw a old pak guard at one building wearing the ribbon bar for this PPA.. Heard rumours that he was ex-polis or ex-army but not sure.

Wow, got custom box summore. haha.

Is it possible for civil servant or normal civillian to be award with this medal?

haha.. dunno.. so far on mudah hv a few PPA medal on sale be4. but... unlike others country where there is military surplus store or militaria collector store where they do sell old medals which are genuine ones. unfortunately Malaysia have Al-Maunah Case which make the sales of local military insignia tightly regulated, this is wat I heard from some old-timer veteran tat i met in a coin and stamps collector store...
