The person or persons who designed the "Ribbons" for the Singapore medals, did not have too much inspiration, as they all looked nearly alike - with similar narrow vertical lines of almost equal numbers, in near similar background colors, or almost total look alike, with little differentiation.
When anyone with more then three decorations worn as ribbons, and if they happen to be of the same design, it will be confusing.
Compared to the ribbons, medals and decorations from the other countries - especially from Australia, Canada, England, USA and even some from the Middle East and South Americas, these countries seem to be able to produce medals that are inspirational and befitting the achievement of the receipients.

For a military or uniformed service personnel, when he is wearing his non-combat uniforms, he must wear all his awards on his chest as part of his uniform.
There maybe exceptions, such as some foreign awards that the government has approved for the person to receive, but may not require the person to display as part of the uniform.
Ribbons are worn on non-formal uniforms, while the medals in its original size are worn on parade uniforms, and miniature sized medals are worn with formal dining uniforms.
Retired military and uniformed personnels are allowed to wear their awards in their formal civilian dress on formal occassions.
Most of these medals are worn on the upper left breast, except for some distinguished medals that are required to be worn around the neck, or as a separate piece to be worn with a sash but officially designated as to how it is to be worn. -
