The Council of Dato and Datuk Malaysia (MDDM) have lodged police reports against nine people for using fake "Datuk", "Datuk Seri" and "Tan Sri" titles.

Its secretary-general Datuk Samson Mamon told reporters outside the Puchong Jaya police station on Monday (May 1) that the nine reports were lodged against individuals, who are in the corporate and entertainment sectors, business personalities as well as high-profile members of non-governmental organisations.

Meanwhile, MDDM exco member Datuk Seri Michael Chong, who was also present, said the issue of people using unrecognised honorifics has been ongoing for a long time, adding that the cost of buying dubious titles ranged between RM60,000 and RM120,000.
