Ribbon of the order |
The Most Excellent Order of the Star of Sarawak(lit: 'Darjah Yang Amat Gemilang Bintang Sarawak') was the highest state order during the days of the Kingdom of Sarawak. Instituted on 26 June 1929,[1] The Order consisted of:
The three ordinary ranks of members are:
- Master (MSS)-consists of breast star, sash, and sash badge.
- Companion (CSS)-a badge worn from a necklet.[2]
- Officer (OSS)-a badge worn from a medal ribbon on the left breast.
The Motto of the Order was 'Haraplah sa-lagi bernafas', which is also the Sarawak state motto. The motto is the translation of the Latin phrase Dum Spiro Spero, which literally means 'As long as I breathe, I hope'.
No appointment has been made since 1946, as the Order became obsolete when Sarawak became part of a British Colony in 1946. In 1964, the post-independence government of Sarawak revived the order and renamed it The Most Illustrious Order of the Star of Sarawak (Darjah Yang Amat Mulia Bintang Sarawak),and in 1988, the order was renamed again as the Most Exalted Order of the Star of Sarawak, or Darjah Utama Yang Amat Mulia Bintang Sarawak in Malay. However, the revived order has no connection whatsoever with the previous order except for the name.
With the death of the last known recipient, Elizabeth Choy in 2006, the order became dormant in 2006.
