The Sijil Kemuliaan (English: Certificate of Honour) is a decoration instituted in 1962.[1] It is typically awarded to Singaporean citizens, but in special circumstances may be awarded to non-citizens as an honorary award (i.e. the Honorary Certificate of Honour).
The medal of the award bears the inscription "Kerana Jasa Untok Negara" which translates to "For Services to the State" in Malay. There are currently no living recipients of the award in Singapore.[2]
History[]
The Sijil Kemuliaan was instituted on 19 April 1962. The rules of the award were revised in July 1996.[3]
