(Malaysian Service Medal)

Bars: none

Period: 31 Aug. 1957-12 Aug. 1966.

Issued in 2004 by the King and Government of Malaysia for Commonwealth personnel who served in Malaya (including Singapore through 9 Aug. 1965) and Malaysia during the Malayan Emergency and Indonesian Confrontation. The start date is that of Malayan independence.

The medal was accepted for wear in 2005 by Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. As of January 2006, the British
