[...] Compare that to Sabah’s around 1,200 Datukships conferred since 1963, and Melaka’s 84 Datuks awarded in 2004. [...]

Maybe we can use Datin Paduka for women Datuk… sounds more feminine and less funnier eg Datin Paduka Ng Yen Yen, Datin Paduka Chew Mew Fun, Datin Paduka Rosnah ABdul Rashid SHirlin, Datin Paduka Rafidah Aziz…. mana boleh Lady like – Lady Rafidah, Lady Shahrizat, Lady Rosnah……….. but Lady Luck bole Latooooo aiyaaaaa

1. Do you have any suggestion as to what title sounds better for the ladies?

2. Also I cannot understand why, if a woman gets a Datukship, the husband does not have title at all. Of course some people jokingly say “Datun”…

Somehow I cannot ‘cope’ having that word ‘Datuk’ or ‘Dato’ and put it before a girl’s name.

Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza sounds weird to me. Datuk Siti sounds worse. LOL.
But then ‘Datuk Shahrizat’ sounds OK as that name can be used by men too.

And that nonsense ‘Datuk Shah Rukh Khan’. LOL

1. 5 years? No, probably 15 years – that’s when my daughter gives birth to my grandchild.

2. You are a 4th grade of the Order of Chivalry with the name Darjah Yang Amat Mulia Kinabalu (The Most Illustrious Order of Kinabalu). Unfortunately, para 12(3) of the enactment says thus: “Gentlemen and Ladies upon whom has been conferred the honour of being appointed to the Third and Fourth Grade of the Order may not on any occasions have, use, enjoy or even dream of the appellation and style of “Datuk”, “Dato’”, “Lato’” or similar before their names, neither do Ladies whose husbands have been so appointed may on any occasions have, use and enjoy or dream of the appellation and style of “Datin” or “Latin” before their names.”

there is a joke saying that if there is a large gathering in sabah and you throw a small stone at the crowd – the stone will hit a datuk, and then the rebounding effect of the stone (after hitting the 1st person, the stone hit another person) and the chance of the 2nd person hitting a datuk is 99 %… i dont know correct or not… and the most fampus dato is of course siti nurhaliza’s husband – dato K….

i bet you will be a datuk in 5 years time…

am i a 4th grade datuk??? (ADK)
