Datuks who want to be MDPM members would have to submit a copy of their watikah (instrument where the YDPA signs to grant them their Datukship) to verify their legitimacy of their Datukship. “The MDPM Datuks will carry the MDPM card and everyone knows their titles are legit.” – Datuk Samson.Īnd that’s because, aside from it being a registered association under the Registry of Societies (RoS), it follows a really stringent membership process.
Datuk Samson mentioned that this new body proposed by MDPM will cater to them and also other federal or state Datuks who wish to join this body.īut why is MDPM taking the responsibility to form this body? Can’t these Datuks just form one association by themselves? For one, it seems like there is a demand from the state Datuks in KL and Selangor to join MDPM’s proposed body because MDPM is known for being a credible body. So, all that’s left are the state Datuks who reside in KL and Selangor, who can’t join any of these associations. Img from Twitter #resettourism for illustration purposes only. State level: Awards like Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka, Panglima Gemilang Darjah Kinabalu or Panglima Gemilang Bintang Kenyalang that are granted by the YDPA, Sultans or Governors of the states.Federal level: Awards like Pingat Jasa Negara and Panglima Setia Diraja are granted by the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong.Just to quickly refresh your minds, a Datukship can be conferred at two levels: Now, you’d ask – why don’t they just join MDPM? For one, Datuk Samson clarified that MDPM is an association for Datuks who receive federal awards and are residing in KL and Selangor. They want to have a national presence and be active at this level but there isn’t any association representing them at the moment.” – Datuk Samson. “Majority of the Datuks who received their titles and awards from other states reside in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. So, we’re gonna refer to their proposed body as bodies or associations to avoid further confusion.
In fact, MDPM’s main goal to form this body was entirely different. Datuk Samson said there is no point in having two registries anyways…īut, no, ladies and gents.
