The Darjah Utama Bakti Cemerlang (English: Distinguished Service Order) is a Singaporean national honour instituted in 1968.[1] It was created to replace the Pingat Bakti Chemerlang (English: Distinguished Service Medal) and is awarded to any person who has performed within Singapore any act or series of acts which constitute distinguished conduct.[2] It may be awarded to people performing acts of distinguished conduct outside Singapore under special circumstances.
The medal of the Darjah Utama Bakti Cemerlang is worn as a neck decoration pendant from a ribbon. Recipients are entitled to use the post-nominal letters DUBC.[citation needed]
The military equivalent of the award is the Darjah Utama Bakti Cemerlang (Tentera).[3]
