PETALING JAYA: Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah (pic) has been named an honorary Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE) by King Charles III.

The award, which carries the title “Sir”, is the first conferred by His Majesty on a Malaysian citizen.


This is in recognition of the instrumental role played by Cheah in forging high-level links with a number of British institutions and contributing immensely towards bilateral ties between the United Kingdom and Malaysia, according to a statement from the British High Commission to Malaysia.

Cheah, a prominent Malaysian entrepreneur and philanthropist, is the founder and trustee of the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, which owns and governs all entities in Sunway Education Group under a not-for-profit structure.


Cheah said he was overwhelmed and greatly humbled on being conferred the award by King Charles III.

“It is particularly welcomed as the honour is bestowed in recognition of services to higher education, health services and philanthropy – exactly the sectors in which Sunway Group and the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation are making a difference in the world.

“I consider this honour not just a personal one, but an award that recognises the efforts of everyone affiliated with Sunway Group and the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation in positively impacting society and our beloved country,” he said.

Malaysia-born, school dropout businessman receives Knight Bachelor award, now ‘Sir Martin’

Poh Sang Chung, known as his friends as Martin, a Sarawak-born businessman, has hit headlines after he spoke to reporters regarding the “Knight Bachelor” award bestowed on him by Queen Elizabeth II in June.

The school dropout, turned successful businessman, is now “Sir” Martin, thank you very much.

Sale of students.

Education is a big business. UK is dying for intake.

Cannot use Sir in Malaysia kan?
On another note, my Filipino maid also called me Sir

Vietmoi, pinoy moi also call me Sir.

Lulz!

Might as well say first award this year or this month.

why put Sir infront of Tan Sri,.. ??.. tak respect Agong ?? ,...

ada title lepas mati pun masuk tanah jugak

kenot
honorary only
only UK citizens or if King Charles is the head of your state, then can use the title
you can only put the KBE behind your name
but if jeffery chia takes up british citizenship, then he can convert the honorary title and can put Sir in front of his name

Francis Yeoh from YTL Corporation dah lama terima anugerah "Sir"

those indian scammers will call you sir also even if you don't have the title.

Tan Sri Dato Sri Dato Sir Dr

Copy&paste.

In 1997, he started Borneo Pacific Pharmaceutical Ltd (BPP) as an agent and a distributor of pharmaceutical and healthcare products in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

It soon flourished, becoming a dynamic wholesaler supplying the markets in Solomon Island, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga and western Samoa. Today BPP, a 100 per cent local-owned PNG company, has grown to be a diversified conglomerate supplying cost effective, quality pharmaceuticals and healthcare products.

In 2009, he founded the PNG Kidney Foundation to help the needy people in his adopted country. In 2013, the foundation set up a dialysis clinic in the Port Moresby General Hospital.
