PUTRAJAYA: Datuks who commit any action that brings disrepute to their title should be stripped of their datukship, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said yesterday. 

Voicing his support to calls to revoke the titles of Datuks who misbehave, he said that was “how it should be” because those who committed shameful acts or crimes had lost their right to that title.
