Selangor Datuk's Award Revoked. HRH The Sultan Of Selangor Should Inquire If This Or Other Titles Were Sold

The Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has stripped a businessman of his Datukship. He has suspended another businessman’s Datukship and extended the suspension on four others.

In a decision reached during a meeting of the Council of the Royal Court on Aug 2, Indonesian businessman Kenneth Chow, who is also known as Wira Tjakrawinata, was stripped of his Datuk Paduka Mahkota Selangor (DPMS) title awarded to him in 1999.

Former NasionCom Holdings Bhd managing director Datuk Chee Kok Wing had his Datuk Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (DSSA) title, awarded to him in
2000, suspended.

Chow, 51, who was former adviser of Milan Auto Sdn Bhd, had pleaded guilty to providing false information in a Securities Commission case. Chee, who also has a Datukship from a different state, had been charged in court last May with involvement in the submission of false information related to NasionCom.

State secretary Datuk Ramli Mahmud said in a statement that the Council meeting had also decided to extend the suspension of Datukship of four others as their cases were still pending in court.

They are former state executive councillors Saidin Thamby and Mohd Shariff Jajang, former Universiti Teknologi Mara sports science faculty dean Dr Mohd Saberi Salleh and former Tabung Haji senior manager (investment) Mohamad Shafie. (NST)

***** Well done! His Royal Highness Sultan Sharafuddin should be congratulated for correcting the mistakes made by the Selangor state government in selecting white-collar criminals, corrupt politicians and unworthy civil servants for the Datukship, thereby bringing the Royal award into disrepute.

The Sultan should closely investigate how some of these specimens, especially the business-dealing rich chinamen who can't even speak proper Bahasa Malaysia were given the awards. Did money change hands? If it did, how much? More importantly who is the highly placed traitor in this 'developed' state responsible for getting these criminals into the birthday honours list? That should make interesting reading.

Ask the top leaders and they will reflexly trot out the same rubbish - "vetted by the police, State Secretary is in charge of the list, strict procedure, we have no say in selection" etc., etc. Bunkum! Someone is making a huge pile of legal tender and it would be wonderful to find out who. Then we can all request His Royal Highness to strip that political criminal off all Selangor state titles. And if that scum has any federal awards, we as loyal, law-abiding citizens can demand that those be revoked too.

Will this actually happen? Alas, one can at least dream, can't one?
