KUALA LUMPUR: The recent arrests of several suspects involved in the use and awarding of fake “Datuk” titles is a positive step in curbing the growing abuse, says the Council of Federal Datuks of Malaysia (MDPM).
“MDPM applauds the police in enforcing the Offences Relating to Awards Act (Act 787) which is long overdue, ” said Council president Datuk Awalan Abdul Aziz.
He said at a press conference on Monday (March 8) that the enforcement by the police serves as a strong deterrent and an open warning to the many individuals and numerous other Dato or Datuk organisations.
Awalan said the arrests would also send a clear message that the use of fake titles will no longer be tolerated, with offenders subject to stiff fines including jail terms.
