POLICE retirees awarded the Pingat Jasa Pahlawan Negara (PJPN) are still waiting for the one-off payment of RM500 from the government. These are personnel who fought during the first and second phase of the Malayan Emergency.
Army veterans awarded the Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) have already received the RM500 one-off payment. We have also heard from the Defence Minister that the government is considering giving a monthly allowance of RM350 plus a certificate signed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to army veterans with the PJM award.
