Chan will let DAP decide on his award acceptance

KOTA KINABALU: Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin said he is prepared to accept the consequences following his acceptance of the Panglima Gemilang Darjah Kinabalu (PGDK) award that carries the title Datuk from the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sabah.

Chan, who is Deputy Agriculture and Food Security Minister, said he was aware that it has been against DAP policy since 2018 that only retired DAP members are allowed to accept honours given out by the heads of state and national governments.
