Baron don't turn into a Lord

Post of the Day

all thanx to Max, today's post is all about Datuk Seri (s), Tan Sri (s), Datuks, neneks, sirs, knights, and barons...

well, first and foremost, this is nothing political.. its about knowing the roots of our country.. mind you, not only politicians have the privilege to be datuks... both Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Datuk Azhar Mansur aren't politicians at all are they (try telling me that you've never heard of him) ?

Datuk Seri and all the other pangkat are conferred by Sultans and Agongs and the higher the authority who confer you the title, the higher status you will hold in the society. And highest of all, the TUN.. Tun Tan Cheng Lock, Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik, Tun Abdul Razak... and stuff...

To get those titles, you must do something that benefit the society or upheld the name of Malaysia.. such as breaking an international record, getting a gold in Olympic, save the princess from drowning, investing heavily in Malaysia and stuff.... then you'll be conferred titles like Datuk Panglima, Datuk Paduka, Datuk Seri, Tan Sri, Tun and some other titles... along with medals like Pingat Jasa Setia and some other fancy names...

*****Sultan is not a part of politic*******

for UK, titles like Sir, Baron and Lord do exist.. and Baron, which simply means Landowner (go check your History text book), aren't in the same league as Sir and Lord...

Once you've been conferred the OBE (Order of Birtish Empire) you're knighted.. and if that happens, congrats, if it doesnt.. too bad for u...

so, any queries?

p/s : feelings a bit jumbled up now... omg~ hou fan arrr~

that y i said it's like comparing a baron and a lord. to me, they aren't in the same league. and by the way, datukship is freaking common. for example, datuk michelle yeoh. not to mention, my uncle is eligible for datukship, just that to maintain that datukship takes a lot of $$, unless u've done something great for the country.
