Young dato. People laugh me.

If it was offered the legit way, u cant actually decline. I know 1 person who decline at 1st but after being slowtalked by palace officials, he accepted it. Not accepting the title is somewhat an insult to the palace.

So what is he doing now?

I know someone who declined, and continues to decline

He says that titles like any other gifts in Asian society come with future obligations attached

yep, especially involvement $$

Business as usual. Only difference is if got function at the palace he must attend, which he very lazy to go

well..kinda true also

but hey when become dato i dun see any chance to becum poorfag dato la

confirm ppl datang sembah kaki u and offer money wan..

Depends on which palace. But usually from what i heard, those that is personally chosen by the sultan have no such any future obligation.

Oh so it's not one time payment? Wow.

I mean does he work as some junior exec or does he run a successful biz

I really dunno, ayam just kuli, he is biznezman. Probably he means contracts and other such favours.

People generally are materialistic and will not offer money for nothing. So if you are an insignificant dato with no financial or political backing i doubt ppl will sembah you. Just my opinion la.

That will make u automatically a vip.

Imagine if u want to eat at this restaurant but need to wait coz its packed, you can skirt all This first come first serve by showing your datuk/dato title. Note that datuk is from agong and dato is from state.

But it would be embarassing if nobody give a hoot when you flash your title.

Note that some states call them datuks too.

i know 1 karang guni dato

New trend and hipster

datuk/datuk seri is appointed by governor

not agong himself directly

if u earn it why not ? pay for it doesnt count tho

just dont put datuk name on CV lorr

Yahor

no, to me dato = corrupted person.

Alredy tan sri.

I not greedy enuf for Tun

Some of us, who?

Far as I can tell, the only Chinese who die die want these titles are those involved in scams as the title helps add a false air of legitimacy. Majority of us don't actually fucking care, and have little respect for people who do have these titles.

Latuk je ma. Tai sai meh? Yi wai lei hai pin lan kor?

Post #12 +1

Majority of the people are talking shit apparently

State without Sultan also Datuk.

it's like buying car beyond our means. then after, cannot commit with monthly instalments and maintenance

Datuk awarded by governor / TYT and agong. ( federal )
Dato awarded by Sultan only ( Royal title )

this i totally disagree. i been with dato alot, you should see how ppl bodek and sembah them.

There a few type of ppl i seen

1. will challenge whether your title is genuine or not

2. treat you extra good and give u vvip

3. boast they know dato, datuk or be friends

i have very little respect some that boast their title and keep telling me they have a title.

i know one very beneficial if you get stop by selected authority the card inside helps alot or imprint that name on your credit card some eatery or shop will treat you better.

the title also help when you are writing letter to complaint authority. If your letter show normal consumer 1 week, if title in letterhead personally call you in 1 hour

dato tan sri pokemon

most of the people who want the tile is developers. without the tile, it is hard for them to get approval or consnet from the mayor,etc

i know some low profile developer but due to losing chance to other datuk in bidding the lands, they have to 'invest' for the tile for company prostect

u talking bout the boston tepi jalan. Deng that one pakai phone call book je

Sadly thats how our society works. They sembah icons of 'success' in any form. Just look at tehalive how they sembah that guy even without datoship.

can
many member's parents here got offered but rejected as well
because its just a title

If "Mr" alone is not good enough to convince people with his talent, then he might think of the need to use the "Datuk" to CONvince other people.

Not really. My father rejected the title twice. 1st one back in 96 or 98 2nd one a few yrs after dat. He got it from the sultan of Kelantan not Pahang aa.

Emm...

Bakpo emmm emmm abe?

I would humbly decline.
