The datuk here
The dato there
When we shout one
Many will turn around
In the public sphere
In the forum
The value has lost its prestige
The Joe public will not bother
Look around us
What have these datuks contributed?
We don't even remember them
Most of the times
Awarded to politicians, civil servants, business people
What have these people contributed to the nation?
Except for the business people the rest are paid to do work
Why need to reward them at all?
Even Sultan of Johore had said
“Throw a stone you will likely hit a datuk”
The titles must be conferred on deserving people
To gain back the prestige of receiving one
Don't bestow it on the politicians
