In 2004, the National St. John Council of Malaysia introduced the Five
Years Service Medal to recognise members and officers who have performed
efficiently for at least five years. This medal was introduced in
recognition of the efficient service of SJAM members and officers who
have been diligently discharging their duties. This award precedes the
Service Medal of the Order of St. John, which is awarded for ten years
active and efficient service.
The medal is made from nickel silver and has a diameter of 35mm. The St.
John Ambulance of Malaysia device is prominently featured at the centre
of the medal with the “Pingat Perkhidmatan 5 Tahun” on top and
“Perkhidmatan Bagi Manusia” at the bottom, encircling the emblem.
