Titles Revoked

Someday you may lose what you have in the most unexpected manner. That what happens to a few big names in the country when their titles, awards and datukship is revoked.

KOTA BARU: Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has been stripped of two Kelantan state awards by Sultan Muhammad V Tuanku Faris Petra Sultan Ismail Petra effective Dec 2 for making statements that were detrimental to the Ruler.

Kelantan State Secretary Datuk Aiseri Alias said Tengku Razaleigh was stripped of the Darjah Kerabat Yang Amat Di Hormati (DK) and the Darjah Kebesaran Mahkota Kelantan Yang Amat Mulia (SPMK).

. . . Aiseri also announced that the Sultan had revoked two awards – Darjah Kebesaran Jiwa Mahkota Kelantan (DJMK) and Justice of Peace – from a lawyer Dr Yaacob Hussein Marican for also uttering “words” at the Federal Court, but no other detail was provided.

The Kelantan royal palace had also revoked the datukship of Pasir Mas MP and Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali on Oct 12.

So you can get the titles and you may lose it as well. The Sultan gave it to you so as the Sultan can take it back. Titles like that, I believe some people out there are dreaming of that. Imagine youselves in the position where people address you not by your name instead they address you as Dato'.

How do you feel that moment? Just answer it to yourselves or share the feelings at the comment section.
