| The Chinese penchant for Datukships |  |  |
| Posted by admin | |
| Tuesday, 11 August 2009 16:42 | |
Chinese towkays and underworld bosses who pay money or serve the interest of Umno, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc., always receive a Datukship even if they are slime-balls and scumbags. |
To the lockup: Koay (left) covering his face while being led out of the magistrate’s court with the other accused yesterday.
Where did he get his Datukship?
Wong Chun Wai
He has five previous convictions for theft, firearms offences and corruption, yet he kept his Datukship. Yesterday, Datuk Koay Khay Chye, 52, and five others were charged (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/8/11/courts/4490444&sec=courts) in Penang with trafficking 300kg Erimin pills worth RM20million. They were arrested during a raid on July 28 at Sungai Dua.
The public are left wondering where he got his title from - didn't the state which conferred him the title carry out any vetting with the police and Bank Negara? In the case of Selangor, the palace carries out strict checks before titles are conferred and a website has even been set up for the public to check. It is important that we know where Koay got his title, so upon conviction, the Datukship should be revoked. For that matter, the previous convictions are sufficient grounds for a revocation.
One personality, calling himself a Datuk Setia, in a trade organisation leadership fight, has been telling members that he is a Datuk from Selangor. Checks were made with the palace secretariat and an official has confirmed that he has never received any awards, not even a PJK, from the state.
There must be ways to prevent dubious characters from making such claims. I believe it is a crime. The Conference of Rulers should make a decision to set up websites, like the one set up by Selangor, where the public can scrutinise the list for themselves.
All states should stipulate in the state constitutions the maximum number of Datukships and other awards that would be given out each year. The situation has become so bad that there are perceptions, even allegations, that such awards can be purchased in one or two states.
The endless list of recipients each year has certainly lent credence to such allegations. More often than not, these recipients do not have strong credentials, besides being businessmen. For the record, businessmen create jobs and help increase the country's revenue. The congratulatory advertisements help newspapers earn money for sure but contribution to the state and country must go beyond that.

*********************************************
Wong Chun Wai, the Group Chief Editor of The Star, appears perplexed as to how crooks and scum-of-the-earth can get Datukships. Surely he, of all people, would know that Datukships can be bought, sometimes up to RM250,000 per Datukship or more.
Those who buy Datukships are mainly Chinese with plenty of money. Malays also do sometimes buy Datukships as well but they need not really pay money for their Datukship. All they need to do is to ‘serve Umno’ and the Datukship will come pretty fast. You see, political parties have a quota for Datukships and this quota is given to ‘loyal’ Umno people or, in the case of MCA, MIC, etc., can be sold on condition that those who wish for a Datukship can slip RM250,000 into the pocket of the President.
Then, of course, we have the Datukships given by the Rulers to their friends and business partners. For all that money you wasted to pay for the Ruler's overseas trips and whatnot you receive a Datukship in return. Sometimes the Rulers also sell these Datukships for RM250,000 or whatever the asking price is nowadays.
First these people crave for money. After they have plenty of money then they crave for prestige. And in Malaysia prestige can be bought. So millionaires who are overflowing with money would not hesitate to spend a mere RM250,000 for a Datukship. That is pittance. In fact, once they get their Datukship they can always make back more than this.
A millionaire Chinese Datuk can throw his weight around and demand government officers do this and that. Most government officers are Malays and therefore very feudalistic in thinking. They get intimidated by someone who is a Datuk, what more if it is a filthy rich Datuk on top of that. So rich Chinese Datuks can get away with murder, sometimes literally as well.
Why is Wong Chun Wai puzzled? I am sure he would know by now how the system works. Chinese towkays and underworld bosses who pay money or serve the interest of Umno, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc., always receive a Datukship even if they are slime-balls and scumbags. That is how it works and has always worked from way back,
Hold on! Is not Wong Chun Wai also a Datuk? I hope it is not for…well…you know what.

RM250,000? Wow the price sure has gone up. Slightly more than 20 years ago the upfront asking price was RM25,000 put into a small suitcase known then as a "James Bond" bag. Of course there will be the recurrent "donations" when you would receive a call that your benefactor has his birthday or he is leaving for an overseas trip. Whether this donation actually goes to the benefactor or it is a scam by his runners or staff is not clear but pay and pay you must.

Dear RPK,
Do you know sometimes these titles are the good yardstick to judge a person's characterstic, especially the Chinese politicians or business men, as far asI am concerned.

I heard RPK that you will soon be conferred a Datukship. As soon as you turn up to accept it, you will be arrested and stripped of your title. I respect DAP through the years for declining such titles. Are we creating a class of citizens here as though the NEP and UMNO's policies aren't enough.

Anyone who think the getting of Datukship is by contribute to "Social Responsibilities" are naive!
I had an Uncle who get Datukship in 1998. I thinks most of the people know this guy, he was an Underworld head of 4D gambling, illegal sand and soil mining, and had a very good contact with our former constituency's ADUN (Which was from MCA previously, who live in Banting, Selangor)
Yes, he's the one who "Shot Dead" by somebody, he's the one who got 3 wife (n my aunt is one of them)and he's the one who come from my hometown- Jenjarom in Selangor (Which is described as "Black" area by many KL folks)
Do you know how much he spent for a Datukship? It was RM800,000! Why so expensive? B'coz he used to be a Prisoner!
Everybody can be a Datuk include of Prisoner! This is the theory of Fair and Just policy in Malaysia!

apparently it is cheaper there... lots of Malaysians flocking over there to buy the title.... including Malaysians who have migrated to Australia and other countries..
then you have those crap stuff like Honorary Princess, Honorary what have you, given out not by governments, but by companies in Europe... and there is this" Dato " ( Dato award from Solo) who announced in her profile, that by getting another Honorary title from the company, she has to be referred to as Your Excellency and has the audacity to state in her profile that the company that issued the Honorary title is legitimate.... sure reflects their mentality ...
but the sad thing is, a lot of westerners are so taken and in awe of these people.....
i guess these title craved people can fool them but certainly not us..

Nearly 40 years ago, a Malay friend who was a DO in a southern state told me jokingly that if I threw a stone in the state capital, chances were good that the stone will hit a Datuk.
40 years later, a stone may land on 2 or more datuks anywhere.
I agree that to the Chinese, a 'latukship' is the ultimate when you have everything else - money, mansions, a few 'Masidi'(Mercedes) or 'Bensi' (Benz), and sweet young female companions. So what if they paid for the title. It all about willing buyer and willing seller - free-market forces at work.
As for WCW, he earned his through hard work. Writing what his bosses like to see. His best efforts are to echo what has already been said by the bigwigs- nothing original but re-phrased made more palatable for the naive readers. MSM need people like him.

I feel this racial profiling of Chinese as being 'saboteurs' or now being accused of being status conscious in the form of covetting titles from Royalty is unjust.
Malays and Indians are equally capable of sabotage or covetous behaviour.
Mahathir 'sabotaged' Anwar Ibrahim's career. The people of Perak feel 'sabotaged' by Najib and the Sultan of Perak. The MACC is routinely involved in 'sabotaging' opposition representatives. These 'saboteurs' are not Chinese.
A very pertinent point is why are the Royalty awarding honours to rich criminals? What does this say about the moral character of our Royalty? Are their titles worth anything?
Our Royals are not Chinese.

I Agree With RPK, Chinese, even if they are scums, will somehow manage to 'get' their Datukships. But, I must say, that was 'then'. Nowadays, and in the near future, there will be more Malay Datuks already. Just look at any official government function invite list and you'll see what I mean.
Either way, the Datukship nowadays get very little respect already la.. it's like badly managing a 'brand' in marketing terms. Those days, if one carried the title Datuk, he is seen as a VIP. Nowadays, if anyone is introduced to me as a Datuk, I'd ask him where he got it and how much he paid. And you know what? I usually get an honest answer. 'Datuk' is a brand. And today, the brand has more of a 'negative brand attitude' than a positive one where the public is concerned.
Anyway, Wong Chun Toi can write whatever he wants, we all know how he ass-licked to the top, so all the best to him. He is one journalist that will never see any international award for best reporting, journalsm ethics or code of journalistic conduct.

The beauty of the Chinese is that they are willing to Pay. Of course not all Chinese. I do have Chinese relative who bought DATOship for 150K. As being said with DATO or DATUKship they are able to maintained their pristage and get more contract. To me this uncall for and unbecoming to this Malaysian Community. We must get PR when they are in power to review all those and put them where they are and they must serves the community with their own sweats and effort before they get them in steps not straightaway....

I heard 2 stories from people who are around me about Datukshit award.
One is about a Ruler from a small state down under who would ask for RM200,000 as payment for "luncheon with the Ruler" at some golf resort. The person who told me this said he refused to do so and said he rather donate the money to orphanage than sponsoring the already-rich royalties.
Another one is about a man who used to spend RM500,000 to get a Datukshit from Ruler in the East Coast, but when the State list was released, his name was not listed. He immediately suffered a mild heart attack and had to be warded.

So, it is just economic of supply and demand and much salivating. Until Malaysian stop salivating over names than this will die down and those titles will get backs what it is actually meant to be.

Well, you need to be fair about this. Yes, there are many Chinese who pay for their datukships. No doubt that such people do not deserve it at all. But than again, how deserving really are the majority of the Malays and Indians who get awarded the title - with or without payment?
There are so many datuks in Malaysia that if I pick up a stone and just randomly throw it, I'll probably end up hitting one in the head. Its a title I have absolutely no respect for. Heck, I think I'll confer a few such titles myself. From now on, I'm naming every stray dog that I see 'Datuk'. At least they have more integrity than the other sort of datuks that we get these days...

Because this is Bodohland, we have scums-of-the-earth as Latuks.
Only in Bodohland they are conferred titles as Latuks.
One time, had lunch with this Latuk from MCA - on the way back to office, out of the blue, he unzipped his trousers & whipped out his huge member! Hamsup Latuks.
Nearly had a heart attack. Bcos the scum tried to show off his huge dick in public!
Ah.. he is ... Chinese.

The easiest state that confers Datokship is Malacca.
Ali Rastam is very generous with it. of course with some kickback,Sometime ago before the UMNO general assembly so many UMNO ketua bahagian got their Datukship in return for vote at the Assembly.Almost all ketua cawangan in Malacca have titles.
Shahrukh Khan got his. I understand that he has pawn it at the pawnshop in Bollywood and the proceeds given to charity.
With 3 granchildren from Sabah and 1 from Selangor I have 2 datukships from Sabah and Selangor. Nobody can take it away from me.

Not only Datukship in Malaysia is a joke,didn't you guys realize a lot of Ph.D.s in Malaysia also a joke? The Chinese like to buy Ph.D., as well as Datukship - so that they can put up full-page *** in the newspaper for showing off. As far as I can remember, only MCA people get Datukship and Ph.D.

Used to work for a Mr who became a big developer. Actually developed a whole township and more. Then I guess he applied for a Datukship. As soon as he was conferred a datukship, the whole company, all 19 floors of it were already whispering that he is due to get his Tan Sri-ship in another few months. Sure enough, in less than a year he became a Tan Sri.
Money talks, big money talks bigger. I guess Tan Sri is the highest possible purchase for businesses, otherwise they will also go for Tun-ships if they can. So, now that they are Tan Sri's, they go for honorary doctorates.
Malaysia Boleh!

Granted a few of them did earned it but many of them bought their datukship. These are despicable fools. In fact, I don't even give a gram of respect to titles. Just ask Mahatir, he is a Tun but what the **** is it?
However, I noted that there are indeed people who really shopw great respect to idiots with titles and I am often quite surprise at that. To me, they don't look any different than the rest, tilte or not. Many are a despicable lot n that's a fact.

I always want to puke when someone mentions that he was with some Datuk/Datuk seri/Tan sri the previous night, enjoying some beer in the company of some sweet young things. I just wonder why they can't stop bringing up those scumbags. I had a friend (yes, I HAD) who I now refuse to associate with, used to walk with me to some shops and would loudly intro himself as a Datuk. I was ashamed to be by his side, honestly. So one day, we went to a property fair. Because he wanted to make his presence felt, he talked loudly and was telling the sales agent that he wuold purchase this unit and that unit. When he was required to pay deposit, he took out his credit cards, but all were rejected. Then he tried to make a fuss and complained that this shouldn't have happened, must be a mistake. To save face, he pretended to make some calls to the credit company and acted as if it was their fault. I was so embarrassed, I walked out of the sales office. Anyway, till today I still don't know how he managed to get out of that situation. One fine day, he took out a card from his pocket and showed me he was not just datuk, but Datuk Paduka as well, as "type-written" on this card he just took out. From that moment on, I knew I had to get away from this guy. Yes, till today, I have not taken his phone calls.

The titles have become so diluted ,therefore worthless they have become. Nobody really cares two hoots about titles anymore.The first impression of the show -off- guy with a datukship is that he lacks what humble people have.

To be called a Datuk is not difficult.
It only takes a little preparation when a child is born.
eg. if my last name is Tan, I would name him Da To.
He will be known as Dato Tan for the rest of his life.

Let me tell you a joke or rather a naive story. One day, 15 years after we left school, we had a gathering among the ex-school cohort or alumni. Then there is this datuk friend among our peers who came to attend this gathering.
I must confess I was naive when I thought I want to "sarka" this datuk. I asked him loudly. Hello Datuk "so-n-so", I must learn from you how you got your Datukship. His face blushed and he turned away, and off course not smiling. I was thinking what happen. I thought he must had been very hardworking building up his business empire and contributed 30% of his company to the bumniputra when it was listed. And therefore because of that, they gave him a datukship.
After a while a asked a friend why he sulked when I compliment him. This other friend said, "what the shit, you malu him" And I said malu what? He said, don't pretend-la, you just return from the moon or what. I was wondering, hmmmmmm, what very hell is happening. then another good friend told me, "don't you know, nowaday, datukship can be bought.
My conclusion and impression thereafter is "datukship" is nothing great but a piece of shit which money can buy.

Datuk = Grandfather. Why want to be called one unless one already have grandchildren? Most ridiculous is when a woman is called Datuk. By right she should be called Nenek isn't it? Anyway, those who need to pay their way through to get titles have a most severe form of closeted inferiority complex.

Soon they will confer the “Tan Sri” title to the Ahlong Kingpin, BK Tan
written by arazak, August 11, 2009 18:46:46
Khoo Tee Yam aka Pai Kar Lek was a Datuk also..
that guy was one big time mafioso in malaysia for many many years.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From what I've heard...
Yes, these two are among the biggest "Mafia Four" ( Chinese called them "Four Big Heavenly King")whom are protected by Babi Negara politicians and Babi UMNO (enforcement officials).
Pai Kar Lek still control the slot&gambling machine business all over the country.
If they can "DONATE" Rm500k monthly to certain parties to continue illegal businesses so what is the Rm250k for a Datukshit!!
