(Commander of the Order of the Defender of the Realm)
The P.M.N. is a second rank award in the Darjah Yang Mulia Pangkuan Negara family and the highest ranking for the ‘Tan Sri’ award. The award carries the title of ‘Tan Sri’ and the recipient’s wife takes the title of ‘Puan Sri’. It is conferred on distinguished and influential persons who have shown meritorious record of service in whatever field. For the Civil Servants, the award is conferred on those in the Tingkatan Turus I. The number of people to be awarded this honour is limited to 75 only, excluding foreign citizens who are conferred honorary awards.
The Star is made of gold-plated silver and so is the badge but smaller in size. The ribbon has white stripes on both the edges and red stripes in the centre. The red stripes lie on the yellow stripes. The end of the ribbon is tied with a ribbon and the badge suspends from below the ribbon. The Order was instituted on 16 August 1958 and gazetted on 21 August 1958.
