The Sultan of Pahang, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, who is also the current king, has reminded recipients of the state’s honours and titles to not display the emblems on their vehicles.
This means that those who continue to have ‘DIMP’ crests on their cars will be stopped by police and have action taken against them under the Pahang Emblems, Titles or Awards (Prevention of Improper Use) Enactment 2017.
The reminder was issued by Comptroller of the Royal Household of the Sultan of Pahang Datuk Ahmad Khirrizal Ab Rahman on Saturday, and he added that those who commit an offence under the enactment will have their awards or medals revoked. Those found using fake titles will also be charged.
IGP Tan Sri Razarudin Husain took note of the decree. “Under this section, no one except with written permission by the Sultan can display or affix any item that contains title emblems or awards or replicas of the awards on any vehicle. Action can be taken in accordance with this enactment if any vehicles still display the emblems,” he said in a statement, reported by Bernama.
With this, one of the main reasons why many want to be a Datuk in the first place – to show off – is now illegal. Will the other state rulers also declare the same?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
YASSSS! Finally, those wannabes and showoffs gotta have to follow the actual rules set by the government.
Daulat Tuanku.
This is the way! Daulat Tuanku!
Good step to put a damper on those road bullies lol.
But will the police dare to stop datuks for this?
Why not, it’s by the decree of the King. Give police the power to refer them back to the Sultan’s council as well. Datuks are a dime in a dozen, nothing to be proud of.
Unfortunately, it’s actually only the decree of the Sultan of Pahang and not in the capacity of YDPA.
Dont even know if those display on their car is real or fake. They all have 100% black tint and some may drive like their road.
Love you very much Tuanku.
You have worked so hard during your reign, no thanks to those naughty (and frogy) politicians.
Thank you for giving us much needed stability during these unprecedented times.
Ayo, how those MLM or Forex traders going to tik tok show off liaow with all this VVIP emblems ?
It’s a good move by the royalties to stop all this. Receiving a datukship should be an honour instead of showing off.
Daulat Tuanku !
Hope all other states follow. Finally the rich cant FLASH their lights and tailgating us like a super VIP. Now PDRM to start taking action
yea.. very nice..
hopefully enforcement will be carried out..
Using Perak emblems no problem
FAKE one woh YOU Blow aHH?
Can easily do the same thing in other states bro
Good move. Salute the Sultan of Pahang. Should be whole malaysia. Not just Pahang.
Daulat Tuanku! The worst offenders are the double, bus stop and pedestrian crossing parkers in Mont Kiara. Posh cars, darkest tints like the law don’t apply to them and multiple emblems. I worry for the poor expat moms on strollers that dare express their consternation to them or their huge drivers who will point to ‘em emblems as if saying how dare you…
Duit sudah angkat
Barang tarak boleh guna
LoL!!!
Datukship from Sulu can put kah?
work so hard to get title but cannot display. people will call these Datuks “En” instead.
You throw stone also surely hit someone with title now so many already
& Only royalties & PM should be allowed to use riders escort; the rest of the politicians/VIPs should endure the traffic like the rest of us!
Exactly!!
Alamak, like that why would people wanna be dato anymore.
Rich ppl pay to get these titles so they can show off and put this metal sign on their cars.
Aiyo, cannot drive under intoxication and other things lah…
please do the same for bar council emblem, why? want to people know you are a lawyer or magistrate? i know some of my friend who not real datok use this pahang emblem to their old alphard and vellfire to show off. nothing to be proud of, so many datok from pahang, regardless fake or real. why? because easy to get or can be sold from middle man? so no respect from me. i just respect who get datok from johor, because susah giler nak dapat. Daulat Tuanku.
Finally my camera got more use.
I already become a Datuk after my daughter give birth to her qst child.
