MELAKA: The state's Council of Datuks is working on an initiative to stop any abuse of titles and to prevent fakes, says its president Datuk Wira Jahaya Mat.

He said it involves applying for the exclusive rights to use and protect the various Datukship awards conferred legally by the Yang-di Pertua of Melaka.
