Likas assemblyman declines 'Datuk' title following party policy


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah DAP Likas assemblyman Tan Lee Fatt has turned down the "Datuk" title that was conferred on him in conjunction with Yang Di-Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin’s 71st birthday celebration on Oct 5.

The Assistant Finance Minister said he had written to the Sabah Government to decline the Panglima Gemilang Darjah Kinabalu (PGDK) award, the second highest honour, in line with DAP’s policy for all members not to receive awards until after they retire from active politics.
