The Most Esteemed Family Order of Laila Utama [1] (Malay : Darjah Kerabat Laila Utama Yang Amat Dihormati) is the highest order of Brunei. It was established on 1 March 1954 by Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III. [2] The order carries the post-nominal letters "DK I" as well as the title "Dato Laila Utama".
Before 1975, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III painted bust was the centerpiece of the order's design. Then a star and crescent moon took the place of the bust. All of the emblems are made of gold or silver with enamel accents. The post-nominal letters "DK I" are associated with the order. The right to use the title "Dato Laila Utama" is included in the order. [3]
