HI Peter, concerning the small collar, the langauge seems to be Indonesian......

A computer translation of the Indonesian 'BERKHIDMAT KAPADA SEMUA' appears as 'That serves to all", so presumably a colloquial translation would be along the lines of "We serve all' / 'We serve the [state/country/people]', which sounds like a general service badge to me, as i assume that various units and regiments within the Indonesian forces probably have their own mottos and titles.

Indonesian is a form of Malaysian. So it could be an indonesian badge, but it could be Malaysia (or even Singapore?)
PS. I found an page on the internet whe somebody says: Malaya unknown: http://militarybadgecollection.com/2....htm?nggpage=2

Thanks Henk,
The badge came with some cloth badges that I think may be Malaysian. See my post in Formation Signs and Patches. Peter

You are welcome.
I do not know if you saw my PS on my post before answering, bu tit shows there are more that decide for Malaya/Malaysia. The fact that it has arabic script at the bottom scroll also points in that direction IMHO. Indonesia does not use arabic (except of course for religious purposes by moslems).

malaysian button
This button belongs to the badge in this thread.
The words "Berkhidmat, Kapada Semua" mean "serve all". The bottom text "Perkhidmatan" is "service". It is listed in Buttons, A guide for Collectors as: Malaysia Forces (page 44, No 15) The answer is on this page: http://anglophiliasjournal.blogspot....s-army-is.html The army was divided into 18 such as Rejimen Askar Melayu Diraja (RAMD) - Royal Malay Regiment Rejimen Renjer Diraja (RRD) - Royal Ranger Regiment Kor Armor Diraja (KAD) - Royal Armor Corps Rejimen Artileri Diraja (RAD) - Royal Artillery Regiment Rejimen Semboyan Diraja (RSD) - Royal Signals Regiment Rejimen Gerak Khas (RGK) - Special Operations Regiment Kor Perkhidmatan Am (KPA) - General Service Corps Kor Polis Tentera Diraja (KPTD) - Royal Military Police Corps Kor Kesihatan Diraja (KKD) - Royal Health Corps Kor Risik DiRaja (KRD) - Royal Corps Kor Perkhidmatan Diraja (KPD) - Royal Service Corps Kor Ordnans Diraja (KOD) - Royal Ordnance Corps Rejimen Askar Jurutera Diraja (RAJD) Royal Engineer Army Regiment Kor Agama Angkatan Tentera (KAGAT) - Armed Forces Religion Corps Rejimen Askar Wataniah (AW) - Territorial Army Regiment Kor Jurutera Letrik dan Jentera Diraja (KJLJD) - Corp of Engineers of Electricity and Royal Machinery Pasukan Udara Tentera Darat (PUTD) - Army Air Force (the English translation is from Google's translating service) I assume badge and button belonged to the Kor Perkhidmatan Am / Federation General Service Corps (1954) or the General Service Corps (renamed 1958) https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kor_Perkhidmatan_Am Last edited by btns; 28-10-17 at 09:01 AM. Reason: one table for malay - english titles |

The rectangular shoulder title - along with others rather similar - has been giving me trouble for years.
The Arabic reads (phonetically) Askar Milayou which I now think must mean Malayan Army Eddie |

This is another source for the 18 regiments.
Better text, better pictures. It comes with two pop up subscription windows which splash all over my screen. Click on the two X close buttons and see the page. https://www.globalsecurity.org/milit...army-corps.htm Could the rectangular shoulder title "Askar Milayou" have been used by the Royal Malay Regiment? |
