Hugh Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) The inscription says "Medal for Important Good Work" Sounds like a LSGC. The obverse shows the Sultan's palace (a huge thing extending along the river) and the reverse is the house of the assembly.

Megan Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks, Hugh - so possibly civilian service rather than military? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FawzieK Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 The Meritorious Service Medal. For, well, meritorious service to the state. Awarded to government and non-government personnel. Never awarded to military personnel. Obverse: The Lapau, the tradition Royal Ceremonial building. Now houses the offices of the Adat Istiadat, the Protocol Centre. Reverse. Adjoining the Lapau (from behind the Lapau), the Dewan Majlis, the traditional Parliament Hall itself. Post-Nomimals: P.I.K.B. One of the more commonly dished out medals during the Sultan's birthday Honours list, it is almost a 'given' for any civil servant to be awarded this, with a long enough service record.

peter monahan Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 What are the chances that it also goes out to Officers and senior NCOs of the Gurkha regiment stationed there? I know one ex-Gurkha officer, probably long dead now, who got one for being in the area of the palace during a Birthday party for the Sultan.
