Verification of service
Although the PJM is a foreign award from the Government of Malaysia, all applications for the PJM will need to undergo a verification process by the Ministry of Defence. This process can be greatly assisted by applicants providing as much information about their service as possible, including service numbers, dates served in the prescribed area, etc. This will allow applications be finalised much faster.
