The Council of Datuk Dato’ Malaysia has warned the public not to fall for those claiming to have such titles but to verify their authenticity.
“When a state title is given out, it is the sole prerogative of the sultan, while for federal titles, the government has a process where a person can apply based on his contributions, for example, to society or sports. “Some, who already have the title of Datuk, cannot wait to get a Datuk Seri or Tan Sri title and are willing to buy fake ones.”
“There have been instances where supposed royal title award ceremonies were organised at hotels, which is akin to the presentation of fake titles because investiture ceremonies are not held at such venues.” Under the Emblems and Names Act, the offender can be fined RM20,000 or imprisoned for not more than three years, or both, as compared with a fine of just RM1,000 before the amendment, for the improper use of emblems, names and pictorial representations.
