Background

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.
