KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 — Police have seized several fake medals and emblems from a director of a telecommunications company allegedly using a false ‘Datuk Seri’ title.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said police received a report from the Royal House of Pahang (Jumaah Pangkuan Diraja Negeri Pahang) regarding the suspect’s improper use of the Darjah Kebesaran Seri Sultan Ahmad Shah Pahang.
“Investigations are ongoing to identify other suspects involved in the syndicate using fake Pahang titles,” he said in a statement here yesterday.
