KUALA LUMPUR: Stiffer fines and increased police investigative powers are needed to prevent the misuse of honorary titles, says the Council of Datuk Dato’ Malaysia (MDDM).
Its president Datuk Awalan Abdul Aziz said the body has submitted a proposal to amend Act 787, also known as the Offences Relating to Awards Act 2017, to the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reforms) and Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC).
