Order of Kinabalu

The Illustrious Order of Kinabalu (Malay: Darjah Yang Amat Mulia Kinabalu) is the only order conferred by the Governor of Sabah, Malaysia.

The Illustrious Order of Kinabalu is established by virtue of Section 3(a) of State Honours Enactment 1963. The Enactment deals with all aspects including process of nomination, conferral, wearing of medals, promotion in the Order and quotas.

Appointments to the Order are made to persons who have rendered "meritorious service to the State". Appointment to the Order is submitted to the Governor by the Chief Minister; every appointment to the Order is by warrant under the hand of the Governor.

Non-citizens may be appointed as honorary members of the Order. An example is Shane Leslie Stone, former Chief Minister of Northern Territory, Australia who was made a Commander of the Order in 1998.

The motto of the Order is Sabah Maju Jaya (Sabah Advances Victorious). The Governor is the Patron of the Order, and is deemed a member of the First Grade. A Chancellor is selected by the Governor from amongst the members of the First Grade.[citation needed]

This Order comprises four classes: Grand Commander, Commander, Companion and Member.

Seri Panglima Darjah Kinabalu (SPDK) - Datuk Seri Panglima

The bearer of this order brings the title of "Datuk Seri Panglima", while the wife of the male bearer bears the title of "Datin Seri Panglima". Husband of the woman bearer brings no title.
