The Origin

Early in the Christian era, pilgrims began to visit the Holy Places in Jerusalem. In the year A.D. 600 Abbot Probus was ordered by Pope Gregory the Great (540-604) to set up a hostel for pilgrims in the Holy City. About A.D. 800 Emperor Charlemagne (Charles the Great) (742-814) rebuilt and enlarged the hostel and added a
library.

In A.D. 1005, the hospice and a large number of buildings in Jerusalem were destroyed by the order of the Caliph Al-Hakim (985-1021). For a time, the pilgrims had no place for shelter and refuge. The merchants of Amalfi, from the province of Salerno in Southern Italy rebuilt the hospice monastery and chapel in Jerusalem in 1023. The eight-pointed white cross, which was the badge of the maritime Republic of Amalfi, was adopted by the Benedictine monks who served in this new hospital. This is the origin of the Order of St. John and its emblem.

The mottoes of the Order of St. John:

Pro Fide - For the Faith
Pro Utilitate Hominum - For the Service of
Mankind

The four arms symbolised four virtues:

PRUDENCE (carefulness and forethought),
JUSTICE (fairness),
TEMPERANCE (moderation in all things),
FORTITUDE (courage and endurance).


The Order of St. John in England

The establishment of SJAA in 1877 and SJAB a decade later allowed lay persons to carry out first aid duties and help those who were suffering. In 1884, the Association adopted the Order’s crest surrounded by a garter as a badge for its certified members with the permission of the Order.

On 14 May 1888, Her Majesty Queen Victoria officially recognised the Order of St. John as a British Order of Chivalry in a Royal Charter of Incorporation. The Order in England was henceforth called “The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem” or the Order of St. John in short, and she became the Patron and Sovereign Head. Since then, the King or Queen of England was made the Sovereign Head and the Patron
of the Order of St. John.

The Royal Beasts - the lions passant gardant and the unicorns passant gardant - were added to the St. John cross, thus linking the Order of St. John to British royal patronage.

The eight-pointed St. John cross is flanked by supporting lions passant gardant and unicorns passant gardant in opposite directions. Each of the eight-points carries a virtue, which every member of St. John Ambulance must uphold. They are:

OBSERVATION
That he may note the causes and signs of injury.

TACT
That he may, without thoughtless questions, learn the signs and symptoms and history of the case, and secure the confidence of the patients and bystanders.

RESOURCE
That he may use to the best advantage whatever is at hand to prevent further damage and assist Nature’s efforts to repair the mischief already done.

DEXTERITY
That he may handle a patient without causing unnecessary pain, and use appliances efficiently and neatly.

EXPLICITNESS
That he may give clear instructions to the patients and/ or the bystanders how best to assist him.

DISCRIMINATION
That he may decide which of the several injuries should be treated first.

PERSEVERANCE
That he may continue his efforts, though not at first successful.

SYMPATHY
That he may give real comfort and encouragement to the suffering.
St. John Ambulance of Malaysia Emblem


Before August 1972, SJAA and SJAB used similar devices with different wordings “The St. John Ambulance Association” and “The St. John Ambulance Brigade” surrounding the Order’s crest respectively.

The combined entities after August 1972 adopted a single emblem with the wording “St. John Ambulans Malaysia”.

The 1972 St. John Ambulance of Malaysia (Incorporation) Act identifies and details the SJAM emblem, the name of “St. John” and protect the emblem and name from unauthorised use.


SJAM Anthem


The song “Berkhidmat Bagi Manusia” (“For the Service of Mankind” ) was initially composed for the Teachers’ Training Colleges in Sandakan in the early 1980s by Encik Francis Tan Guan Seng, the then Sandakan Deputy Area Commander. Encik Eainuddin bin Juwahir, a teacher at the college, provided the music score. The song was played in Sandakan Teachers’ Training College for many years before Encik Murukesu Margapandu, a lecturer and SJAM Sabah officer, heard the song and brought it to Kuala Lumpur. Bahagian Pendidikan Guru adopted it as the Colleges’ official St. John song.

In 1997, the “Berkhidmat Bagi Manusia” song was adopted as the official SJAM anthem after slight modifications were made to the lyrics. The initial anthem has a da capo al fine but in the final version, the da capo was removed to shorten the anthem. The final version is reproduced here:

Berkhidmat Bagi Manusia

Anggota St. John bersiap sedia

untuk berkhidmat kepada manusia

tanpa mengira pelbagai bangsa agama dan budaya.

Seragam putih lampang kejituan

dilatih untuk bantu yang derita

tanpa mengharap kurnia dan ganjaran berbakti sepanjang masa.

Berkorban walau di mana berada

dengan rela hati suci.

Berpegang teguh pada cogan kata

Berkhidmat Bagi Manusia.

Inilah sumbangan dari kami

terhadap mu oh ibu pertiwi

sumpah dan ikrar kami tunaikan kepada nusa dan bangsa.




St. John Flag



The St John Flag is the Badge of the Order, a white cross with gold lions and unicorns emblazoned on a black field. The Flag comes in the following sizes: nine feet by six feet, six feet by four feet and three feet by two feet. No Divisional names or any other writing on any St John flag.

The St. John Flag is flown at an establishment of SJAM unit, at First Aid stations, SJAM Annual Inspections, and camps. The Flag, unlike a Colour, is never saluted.

SJAM History

History

The modern St. John Ambulance started in Great Britain in 1877 when the Queen Victoria granted a Royal Charter to the organisation for its service to mankind. As the British Empire expanded in the late 19th century, so too did St. John Ambulance. The St. John Ambulance movement in then Malaya was traced to the British Army and the Federated Malay States Railways and Straits Settlements in 1908. During the World War I, members were drafted into the British Medical Auxiliary Service (MAS) and fought side-by-side with the British Army to Singapore.

5. Towards the New Millennium (1990-1999)

6. SJAM in the 21st Century (2000-present))

In July 1947, the returning British members and locals met and revived the St. John Ambulance in Federal Capital and soon spread to other States. The Associations were formed in each State to conduct first aid training and organise humanitarian activities while the Brigades recruited volunteers to apply the first aid skills to help the citizens.

 

Key national figures saw the need to amalgamate the Associations and Brigades for administrative efficiency and improve the coordination between the two entities. In 1972, the St. John Ambulance of Malaysia (Incorporation) Act No. 74 was passed and the new single entity was known as St. John Ambulance of Malaysia (S.J.A.M.) headed by a Commander-in-Chief.

 

In 2008, St. John Ambulance celebrates its centenary in Malaysia. The organisation has come a long way with a present membership strength of over 60,000. Beside first aid, as its core activity, St. John Ambulance are is now involved in pre-hospital emergency medical ambulance service, haemodialysis service, home nursing and other humanitarian activities.

St.John Association of Malaysia

St John Ambulance in Malaysia started in 1908. From 1908 to 1938, the movement was confined to the Army and the Railways. When the war clouds were gathering in 1938, the Government decided to form the St John Ambulance Brigade in all the large states.

The members were first recruited as Stretcher-Bearers. Once they were proficient, they attended First-Aid lectures. In early 1941, regular meetings and air raid practices were held. The Government also allocated First Aid Posts to the Divisions to carry out their duties.

In September 1941, the Government introduced the Medical Auxiliary Service and all the St John Ambulance Brigade members were automatically drafted into this service. In addition, they were permitted the right to use their St John Ambulance Brigade Uniform and hold ranks. This was an encouragement to all officers and members because of the recognition given to the movement. Furthermore, all members of the St John Ambulance Brigade were paid a war allowance that was given in 1946.

When the Japanese declared war on 8 December 1941, the St John Ambulance Brigade members did magnificent work in all the First Aid Posts. Many members withdrew to the South together with the Armed Forces when the Japanese Forces captured their towns. Many more served in the battle of Singapore and lost their lives for the Service to Humanity.

St John Ambulance was the only voluntary organisation in Malaya then that rendered medical services before and during the war.

The British Military Forces re-occupied Malaya in 1945 and re-organisation of all departments and institutions started. From 1959 onwards, the movement functioned in all the States in Malaya.

In 1972, the St John Ambulance Association and St John Ambulance Brigade within Malaysia, were amalgamated into one Corporation known as the St John Ambulance of Malaysia. This was made possible with the passing of the St John Ambulance of Malaysia (Incorporation) Act, 1972 by the Parliament.

The History of The Order of St.John

Our History

The Museum of the Order of St John

The Museum of the Order of St John tells a unique and fascinating story — the story of the Order of St John — from its origins in eleventh century Jerusalem, through to its role today with St John Ambulance and the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem.

The Museum occupies two sites in Clerkenwell, London: St John’s Gate, the entrance to the former Priory of the Knights of St John, which dates from 1504; and the Priory Church of St John, Clerkenwell with its surviving twelfth century Crypt. Come and visit us and find out more!

Jerusalem and the Crusades

The exact date when the Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem first came into being is unknown although it was about 1070, when a hospice - a place of care - was established in Jerusalem by monks from a neighbouring Benedictine abbey to care for the growing number of Christians making the long and dangerous pilgrimage to the holy city.

The hospice soon developed into a hospital and in 1113 the Pope confirmed its independence. Over the next forty years it developed into a religious and military order, with its brothers and sisters (commonly known as Hospitallers of St John or Knights Hospitallers) providing care to the poor and sick of any faith. They also took on the additional role of defending all Christians and others within their care when they were threatened.

Rhodes and Malta

The Order was driven from Jerusalem in 1187 and established its headquarters on the coast of Palestine, before moving to Cyprus and then on to Rhodes. In 1530 it moved to Malta, where it governed until it was expelled by Napoleon in 1798.

Throughout their sovereign years on Rhodes and Malta the Knights’ medical work continued. In Rhodes the hospital had separate wards for infectious disease and maternity care. In Malta the Order ran a health service for the Maltese people and set up a famous school of anatomy and surgery. The great ward in Malta’s hospital was the longest room in 18th century Europe.

The Order in Britain

From the beginning the Order grew rapidly and was given land throughout Western Europe.  Its estates were managed by small groups of brothers and sisters who lived in communities that provided resources to the headquarters of the Order. These communities were gradually gathered into provinces called Priories or Grand Priories.

In Britain these estates were first administered from one of the communities (called a Commandery) at Clerkenwell, London from about 1140 and the original Priory Church was built at the same time.

However, over time, the extensive amount of land the Order owned in Britain meant that it needed to be managed by several different Commanderies.  In 1185 the Commandery at Clerkenwell became a Priory, and had responsibility for Commanderies that had been set up in Scotland and Wales as well as the ones in England.  Ireland became a separate Priory.

Henry VIII

In 1540 the Order was suppressed by King Henry VIII, as part of the process known as the Dissolution of the Monasteries.  It was restored and incorporated by Queen Mary I in 1557, but when Queen Elizabeth I again confiscated all its estates in 1559 she did so without annulling its incorporation.  These acts by English Sovereigns did not directly affect the Order in Scotland, but the influence of the Reformation ended the Order’s activities there in about 1564.  The Order in Britain then fell into abeyance.

The religious Order of the Hospital of St John, which is now formally known as The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta, went through a time of disarray after it was expelled from Malta, but it had recovered by the middle of the nineteenth century, when its headquarters were established in Rome.  It is still often called “The Order of Malta” and its members are frequently referred to as “Knights of Malta”.

In the 1820s the Knights of Malta living in France offered knighthoods to specific people supporting the Order in Great Britain, irrespective of their Christian denomination.

Their approach was not part of the official policy of the Order of Malta, but the English Knights devoted themselves to charitable activities, which were organised into what became known as Foundations.  It was this British group, carrying out very substantial charitable activities, which Queen Victoria recognised and incorporated in 1888 and which became the modern Order of St John. Victoria ruled the largest empire the world has ever known and the Order saw it as part of its role to spread Western medical practice to the colonies. Today St John is still active in over 40 countries across the world.

St John and the Industrial revolution

Britain was one of the first countries to become industrial and in the 19th century there were many dangerous workplaces. Conditions and machinery were hazardous and workers were exhausted by the long hours. Accidents were frequent but workers rarely saw a doctor in time. Death or disability from untreated injuries was common.

Members of the British Order wanted to find a way to help. They decided to train ordinary people in first aid so accident victims could be treated quickly and on the spot, and in 1877 they set up St John Ambulance to do this. Classes were set up across the country, particularly in workplaces and areas of heavy industry, but also in villages, seaside towns and middle class suburbs.
In 1887 trained volunteers were organised into a uniformed Brigade to provide a first aid and ambulance service at public events. In many parts of Britain, St John was the first and only provider of an ambulance service right up to the middle of the 20th century, when the National Health Service was founded. When there were far fewer doctors and hospital beds than today, St John nurses looked after the sick and injured in their own homes.

The modern Order

There were originally three charitable Foundations of the modern Order. One, which became The St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Foundation, was established in 1882.  The St John Ambulance Association, which was concerned with training the public in first aid, was established in 1877.  And, the third was The St John Ambulance Brigade, which provided first aid care to the public. It had its origins in 1873, and became a Foundation in 1887.  The St John Ambulance Association and The St John Ambulance Brigade were amalgamated in 1974 to form the present St John Ambulance Foundation.

There was a major re-structuring of the Order’s constitution in 1999. This introduced a Grand Council; removed restrictions as to nationality and religious belief on full membership of the Order; and established a new Priory to carry on the activities of the Order in England and the Islands.
