The Pingat Pentadbiran Awam ("Public Administration Medal") was instituted in 1963 and has three grades:

The medal may be awarded to any of the following persons for outstanding efficiency, competence and industry:
* any person who is or has been a public officer.
* any person who is or has been an officer employed by any statutory authority (other than a Town Council).
* any person who is or has been in the service of any organisation, association or body rendering services in the field of education.

Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters PPA, and may include the grade in brackets - eg: PPA(E).

The Pingat Pentadbiran Awam (Tentera) is the Singapore Armed Forces equivalent award.
