If you have friends who have title like Datuk or Dr, do you address them using their title? Or just by their name?

Address them by title unless they insist otherwise.

By their names. If business related only use title

But then I address my friend with their name since I am used to that since school

Was I being rude?

Rude or not depends on whether your friend thinks it is acceptable or not.

Most of them seems okay with that..

if ur fren mind about that

it's time to unfriend him

That's why I thought too..

I mean, even my uncle call menteri wilayah "wa" only not Tan Sri, it would be awkward to call my Dr friend Dr instead of his name. Feels like talking to a stranger.

Good if they are ok outwardly. Maybe inwardly will think you biadap.

Title used to show prestige.

Because we were under Monarchy-based colonization.

King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Duke, Duchess, Lord, Baron, etc.

So we adopted the same with our King, Queen, etc.

But... it has lost its meaning over time as politics became all encompassing.
