Email MSPs!
We have tremendous support in the Scottish Parliament.
The Public Petitions Committee has even recommended that an MSP table a Motion in the Scottish Parliament in support of our case.
And Sandra White MSP has done exactly that! She has tabled Motion No. S3M - 260:
S3M-260 Sandra White (Glasgow) (SNP):
Pingat Jasa Medal
That the Parliament extends its fullest support to the veterans and families of veterans involved in the continuing struggle to gain the right to wear the Pingat Jasa Medal, the Malaysian service medal, awarded to Commonwealth forces who served Malaysia in its fight to preserve its newly won independence against terror and aggression between 1957 and 1966 for distinguished chivalry, gallantry, sacrifice or loyalty in upholding Peninsula of Malaya or Malaysian sovereignty during the period of emergency and confrontation; believes that the refusal to grant permission to wear the medal is an insult to all the British servicemen and women who defended Malaysia in its hour of need and to the Malaysian government which issued the medal; notes that Australian and New Zealand veterans have received royal assent to accept and wear the medal, and calls on the British honours and decorations committee to overturn its decision.
One MSP said "If a majority of members of the [Scottish] Parliament sign the motion, it might be accepted that our view is that the veterans should be able to wear the medal, regardless of what Westminster might say on the issue."
Please support Sandra. Help her to help us. Write to your MSP ... and if you live outside Scotland and do not have an MSP, write to all MSPs! And ask them to support British veterans by signing Motion S3M - 260.
If Sandra can attract over 50% of the MSPs to sign her Motion, then the Scottish Parliament will have demonstrated its support for the right to wear the PJM - and that will ensure our case is considered by Westminster (for the first time, would you believe!).
Stuck for words? ... here's an example from an email sent by Jock Fenton:
"Dear MSP,
Please, in support of 35,000 Malaya/Borneo veterans who are being denied the right to wear their medal awarded by a grateful Malaysian Nation, give your earnest consideration to approving the motion S3M - 260 tabled by your colleague Sandra White MSP.
Thank you..."(Name and address)
