So what does the award signify? The Public Service Star (BBM) that was instituted in 1963 is awarded to individuals who have contributed valuable public service to the people of Singapore, or who has distinguished himself in the field of arts and letters, sports, the sciences, business, the professions and the labour movement.
The Public Service Medal (PBM), on the other hand, was instituted in 1973, and may be awarded to anyone who has rendered commendable public service in Singapore, or for his achievement in the various fields, including arts and letters, sports, the sciences, and business.
Our heartiest congratulations to the 10 grassroots leaders of Tampines for the commendable efforts to making Tampines a better Home for residents.
