THE Pahang palace has revoked the Datuk title of Malaysian Crime Watch Task Force (MyWatch) chairman R. Sri Sanjeevan with immediate effect.

State Secretary Dr Sallehuddin Ishak said the letter of withdrawal of the Darjah Indera Mahkota Pahang award, which carries Datuk title, was issued on August 24.

In a statement today, Sallehuddin said the revocation of the award was carried out following a decree by Sultan of Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, who is the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

“In this regard, the individual is not allowed to use any of the titles conferred and must return the award to the Pahang State Secretary’s Office in accordance with laws regarding state awards, titles and honours,” he said. – Bernama, September 15, 2021.
