The Parachutist Badge (Malay: Lencana Payung Terjun; Jawi: لنچان ڤايوڠ ترجون), commonly referred to as Jump Wings (Malay: Sayap Penerjunan; Jawi: سايڤ ڤنرجونن), is a prestigious skill badge awarded to uniformed personnel in Malaysia who have successfully completed the Basic Parachute Course or higher. This qualification is not restricted to the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF); it is also available to other government agencies that maintain parachute-trained units. In the Malaysian context, the badge serves as a symbol of entry into an elite airborne brotherhood.
The badge signifies that the wearer possesses the foundational qualifications required to participate in airborne operations. Beyond operational personnel, honorary badges are occasionally bestowed upon VIPs as a mark of respect and inclusion within the airborne community.
The badge is produced in three distinct versions to match various uniform types:
Silver Metal: The most common variant, worn on standard working and service dress uniforms.
Subdued (Black and Olive): A cloth version worn on field or combat uniforms for tactical purposes.
