Most Exalted Order Of The Star Of Sarawak
The ''Darjah Utama Yang Amat Mulia Bintang Sarawak'' (Most Exalted Order of the Star of Sarawak) is the highest state order in the state of Sarawak. It is conferred to those who rendered excellent service towards the development of the state of Sarawak and Malaysia. The Order was established in 1964, a year after Sarawak's independence with the formation of Malaysia. The history of the order can be traced back to 1928, where a similar order named Order of the Star of Sarawak was established by the White Rajahs.

The design follows the colors of the Sarawakian flag: blue, red and white (1973 design), and yellow, black and red (1988 design). Both the ''Officer of the Star of Sarawak'' (JBS) a ...
