[UPDATED] Malaysia's role as Asean Chair recognised internationally, says PM
LARUT: Malaysia's role as Asean Chair in facilitating reconciliation efforts between Thailand and Cambodia following recent border tensions has been recognised internationally, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said that although there were certain quarters that refused to acknowledge Malaysia's role, the trust placed by the countries involved was clear proof that they held Malaysia's political and economic stability in high regard. "Thank God, in Malaysia our politics are stable and our economic development is respected. So, when disputes arise, the task of reconciliation is entrusted to us. This is a form of international recognition, even if some in Parliament may choose not to acknowledge it — and that is fine," he said. Anwar made the remarks when opening the Madani Dairy Entrepreneur Carnival at Farm Fresh Perak Dairy Complex today. Also present were Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. Earlier, US Ambassador to Malaysia Edgard D. Kagan was reported to have said that Malaysia had played an important role as Asean Chair in peace efforts between Thailand and Cambodia through the General Boundary Committee (GBC) meeting, following tensions along the border of the two countries. Kagan said that Malaysia's role in organising the meeting demonstrated its leadership in bringing both nations to the table. Meanwhile, Anwar said Malaysia's strong diplomatic relations with foreign countries have brought significant benefits, particularly in creating new economic opportunities in the country. "For example, during the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, Thai milk could not enter Cambodia, but Farm Fresh milk successfully entered the market. "I am sharing this because our relations with Thailand and Cambodia are good. If Farm Fresh wishes to open a farm in Thailand, we will extend our full cooperation," he said. Anwar also stressed that the government will continue to support initiatives that strengthen the nation's food security, including the dairy industry. Expressing pride in the achievements of local dairy producer Farm Fresh Bhd, he praised the company for its contribution to the dairy sector, job creation for Malaysians, and commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Meanwhile, Farm Fresh chief operations director Azmi Zainal said the company's 828-acre complex in Perak is home to 4,300 dairy cows producing 22,000 litres of milk daily. "In a year, this complex produces 10 million litres of milk, making it the largest and most productive dairy farm in the country," he said, adding that the farm has 150 local workers, most of whom are under 30 years old. Farm Fresh also buys milk from local small farmers at competitive prices.

Scammers sell fake 'Datuk' titles for as little as RM50,000
PETALING JAYA: The pursuit of social status has led some individuals to fall victim to syndicates selling fake honorary titles, such as "Datuk," for as little as RM50,000 — despite the lack of any official investiture or recognition from the palace. These syndicates advertise their offers on social media, falsely claiming to have "special quotas" for such titles, particularly ahead of royal birthday celebrations involving state Sultans or the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, in an attempt to lure unsuspecting buyers. Council of Datuks Malaysia (Majlis Datuk-Datuk Malaysia) president Datuk Samson David Maman told Kosmo! that the scam is becoming increasingly rampant, with some people willing to pay large sums for titles without verifying their authenticity or legality. "Information we've received indicates that certain syndicates are selling Datuk titles for prices ranging from RM50,000 to RM800,000 depending on the type and origin of the title claimed," he said. The syndicates typically request copies of the victim's identification card before couriering items such as ceremonial sashes, fake appointment certificates, and attire within two weeks to a month. "In most cases, there's no official investiture. Some victims have reported fake ceremonies being held in private homes or hotels — never in an actual palace," he said. He noted that many victims are tricked into believing they are securing limited 'quotas' of titles in the lead-up to royal birthday celebrations. After obtaining the so-called title, the syndicates often upload their names onto fake websites designed to mimic official honours databases. He revealed that the council receives more than 10 complaints every month from individuals who were duped in investment scams involving fake Datuk titleholders. "The public often associates the Datuk title with credibility and power. Scammers print the title on business cards, and in some cases, even falsify identity cards to appear more convincing," he added. According to Samson, when investment schemes collapse and the scammer disappears, victims usually turn to the council for help. "Each complaint is verified via the official honours website, and we've found that around 70 per cent of those involved in scams or financial crimes have used fake Datuk titles." However, Samson said the council has no authority to take legal action and can only advise victims to lodge police reports. He urged relevant authorities to expedite amendments to the Malaysian Honours Act 2017 (Act 787) to curb the abuse of honorary titles. "The amendments would empower police to take direct action against fake titleholders," he said. "If someone claims to be a Datuk, always verify it through the official website at where you can find complete details, including the award letter, which states ruler granted it and the date. "The Council of Datuks' website at can also be used for verification." Samson warned that failure to curb this activity could damage the country's reputation. "A genuine Datuk doesn't flaunt their title. They work hard and give back to society," he stressed.
