Pingat Pentadbiran Awam

The Pingat Pentadbiran Awam (Public Administration Medal) was instituted in Singapore in 1963 and has three grades:

• Emas (Gold)
• Perak (Silver)
• Gangsa (Bronze)

The medal may be awarded to any of the following persons for outstanding efficiency, competence and industry:

• any person who is or has been a public officer.
• any person who is or has been an officer employed by any statutory authority (other than a Town Council).
• any person who is or has been in the service of any organisation, association or body rendering services in the field of education.
• any person who is or has been employed in any company which is wholly owned by the Government and which is carrying on business mainly as an agent or instrumentality of the Government.

Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters PPA, and may include the grade in brackets - e.g.: PPA(E).

The Pingat Pentadbiran Awam (Tentera) is the Singapore Armed Forces equivalent award.
