Fake ‘Datukship’ ring crippled

Supt Sundra: ‘We expect them to be produced in courts to be charged soon.’

MELAKA: State police have completed their investigations into 30 individuals for using fake honorary titles conferred by unrecognised sultanates locally as well as from neighbouring countries.

A source told The Star that these individuals had claimed they were influential in society by convincing others to use their bogus titles that included “Datuk”, “Datuk Seri” and “Datuk Panglima’’.
