High knight
Datuk is a title of respect for people with high status and prestige, which comes from ancient Malay and is commonly used in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. In Malaysia and Brunei, "Datuk" is also a title under the honor system. It has no hereditary and feudal power, and it is a symbolic lifelong honorary identity.
Datuk is a title in Malaysia. Honors are awarded by the supreme head of state (the supreme ruler of Malaysia), the Sultan (the hereditary supreme ruler of Malaysia) and the head of state (the non-hereditary and rotating supreme ruler of Malaysia). As early as the British colonial era, the colonial government began to implement the system of honours in federated malay states States and Strait colonies, rewarding those who had a prestigious position in society, were loyal to the British royal family and made contributions. Subsequently, on July 3 1, 1886, the royal family of Johor imitated the British royal family and awarded the first medal. Later, other Malays also established their own honor and reward systems. At that time, the British Governor-General in British Malaya awarded honors and awards on behalf of the British rulers until 194 1.
1957 After the independence of the Malayan Federation (renamed Malaysia in 1963), the Federal Executive Committee established the federal honours and awards system to replace the British honours and awards system. 1958 On August 22nd, Congress issued the following announcement, announcing the adoption of the honor and reward system:
"Bulletin of the Federation of Malaya, dated February1August 1958, contains the regulations on the award for bravery issued by His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. The first batch of winners of the Malayan Federation Prize will be announced on August 3 1 this year, that is, the first anniversary of independence.
On the same day, His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong will present awards to the winners at the ceremony held in Abdulaman Hall, Tengku, Anbang Road, Kuala Lumpur. "
On August 3 1 day of the same year (that is, the first anniversary of the independence of Malaya Federation), the federal honours and awards system was formally implemented. Now, the awarding ceremony is held in the National Palace on the first Saturday of June every year (the birthday of the Supreme Head of State). Generally speaking, the list of candidates is recommended by the Prime Minister to the Supreme Head of State. Past recipients will nominate suitable candidates to the Prime Minister, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can also nominate foreign citizens to the Prime Minister to receive honorary awards. All nationals who have served the country for a long time are eligible for medal nominations commensurate with their contributions. Only those who have won the prize will not be considered as candidates in a short time.
The Federal Medal of Malaysia is awarded by the Supreme Head of State, while the National Medal is awarded by nine Sultans or four Heads of State.
Malaysia's state management system is constitutional monarchy, and the Supreme Head (Malay: Yang di-Pertuan Agong) is the legitimate supreme ruler of Malaysia, the supreme commander of the armed forces, and the Islamic leader in Malacca, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and Kuala Lumpur. The supreme head of state is the highest-ranking ruler among the nine hereditary rulers elected by the rulers' meeting. During his five-year tenure as the supreme head of state, he shall not concurrently serve as the ruler of the original country or the director of any listed company. The supreme head of state has the highest legislative, judicial and administrative power, but in practice, he must first consult the Prime Minister. The official residence of the Supreme Head of State is located in the National Palace in Kuala Lumpur, where most official appointments, awards and receptions are held.
In Malaysia, "Datuk" has two different meanings. Used as a courtesy title for "ancestor" men in informal situations; On formal occasions, this is an honorific title for tribal and state leaders. Malaysia is a federal country. Both the Federation and the states have their own independent honor systems, and the Sultan or the head of state awarded the title of "Datuk".
In the federal and appointed states (the heads of Sarawak, Penang, Sabah and Malacca are appointed by the Supreme Head of State), the state and state heads confer the title of Datuk (Datuk' in Penang) on the proposal of Parliament; In a monarchy country, the hereditary monarch can grant Dato' Bergelar to the royal family (Waris), the nobility (Orang Kaya) or the minister (Orang Besar) in addition to the proposal of the parliament. In Sembilan, the four chiefs (Undang Luak) are tribal leaders elected by traditional customs (Adat Perpatih) and inherit the title and power of "Dato".
In Sarawak, the third Sarawak Star Badge (PSBS) evolved from the badge of the same name (MSS) of the Brooke Dynasty, and the wearer was called "Datu"; The wearer of the third-class kingfisher star badge (PGBK) is called "Datuk"; The wearer of the Medal of Meritorious Service (DJBS) is called "Datu", and all three are translated as "Datu".
Datuk's spouse (Yuan Pei) is called Nadine, Mrs Datuk or Du Pan (Datuk); In the federal and other states; In Dengjialou, it is called "To Pu 'an"; Sen Meilan's four wives are also called "To Pu 'an". In formal social etiquette, a woman must "take her husband's surname" before she can be given the relevant title, unless her title comes from the title of Sudan or head of state, rather than extending from her husband's rights. Because Malaysia's National Registration Law does not force women to take their husbands' surnames after marriage (except for all Chinese, a few Indians and a few Malay aristocrats, most Malays, Indians and aborigines have no traditional surnames), this detail is often ignored or not strictly observed.
In Malaysia's honor system, "Datuk" has different names in different regions, which may be Datuk (in the federal and appointed heads of state system, but excluding Penang), Datuk (Kedah, Pahang, Thunderbolt, Glass City, Semelan, Tengjialou, Sarawak and Penang) and Datuk Paduka (the name of Datuk). The husband of "female Datuk" does not have any title, unless it is awarded by the Sultan or the head of state.
