Bob
Thank you for your email
Your PJM cannot be described as a replica as a replica is an EXACT copy, respectfully request you read this and adjust your claims accordingly

Dear Mr Cooper
We apologise for the delay in responding to your e-mail which was caused
by the Christmas rush.
The 'Palm Fonds' design used in the suspender on our version of the
Pingat Jasa Malaysia medal was based on the submission sourced from the
Malaysian Government and the 'Palm Fonds' do indeed cross the opposite
way on the original medal. This is to distinguish the replica from the
original in a similar way as is done with other medals such as the MoD
authorised replica of the General Service Medal which is marked 'COPY'
and doesn't have a swivelling suspender bar to distinguish it from the
original. The PJM medal itself is an exact replica.
With our best wishes for the Season.
Yours sincerely
