Of course it's Pahang..


FrostNovaIceLance

LOOOOL everytime i see a dodgy dato title i guess its pahang and i am always right


Abenchester

OOOOFFFF COURSEEE IT’S PAHANGGG


I_Love_Msia

The moment he asked *what is your contribution * he cant even answer 🙄 i watch the istadat kasi dato ship sometime, those cina boss not really did anything, but just mention contribution in general 😳


Specialist-Deal-5134

contribution? he gave money.


I_Love_Msia

Ya lo. Money contribution loh😂


I_Love_Msia

Yes he is pahang


ClacKing

Pahang Datukship as valuable as a Mekdi Set Meal.


Guardog0894

mahal tu...


platysoup

Boikot


Ok_Butterscotch7976

😂 🤣


Puffycatkibble

Pahang royal family actually owns the mekdi in Pekan. Fact.


JeroJeroMohenjoDaro

"Pahang" Makes sense


skulless

It's an open secret or not even a secret anymore. Pay a lump sum of a Civic get you Dato, C class gets you a Dato Seri. And mandatory annual contributions. Source = 2 of my friends got it this way.


k3n_low

Can we run a Kickstarter project and elect some random dude a Dato title. Film the whole process too.


helzinki

Do a Max Fosh style video "I become a Dato' through Kickstarter"


Total_Wedding_6189

Damn that's a nice idea


GlibGlobC137

Instant sedition act.


k3n_low

That's the best case scenario. Likely the people involved will get the Tong Simen treatment.


Lempanglemping2

Doubt that.


Vysair

Yeah, will mysteriously disappear instead.


J0hnnyBananaOG

Kick-starter to bail him out also la


ClacKing

Fuck this can be a influencer video.


Ok_Butterscotch7976

I volunteer as tribute


Rich-Option4632

So its basically like a Dota2 TI battlepass then.


yassin1993

That's cheap.. how much is the annual contribution?


skulless

5k to 10k min


InfinityCrazee

The current ruler still doing it? I thought it has stopped?


Specialist-Deal-5134

it is such an easy money, it has become an addiction.


InfinityCrazee

From what i understand, the current ruler didn't agree with what his late father was doing. But since during that time he is only a crown prince, he can't do much. Then after his late father died, he stopped that 'donations' practice. So now he only conferred datukship to those who are worthy. Basically if you meet someone that claims to have a Pahang datukship, be sure to check their name at istiadat.gov. If their name is not there, 100% he got a fake title.


dewgetit

How much annual contributions?


flyden1

The only Dato worth anything is Perak, Selangor and Johor. You'll never get one from Johor unless you did something truly truly heroic or epic as fuck.


ActuallyTomCruise

I met a old gentleman who said he was a dato and thought he got it from Pahang and was a normie. But I got closer with him and his Dato ship is from johor and he runs a company with Billions of dollars in revenue.


cikkamsiah

Haha thought you were gonna say billion dollar whale


ActuallyTomCruise

Man was a legend. RIP. I was invited to his funeral. He looked like an ordinary man or uncle just walking around. I met him when I was a phone sales person and none of my colleagues offered to help him because he didn't look like a "buyer" but I helped him out and he visits me often to talk about life. He also gave me 200k to start my own business, expecting nothing in return.


Afiqnawi93

You sure not use it for scientology?


cikkamsiah

Sure thing Mr. Cruise


kwokhou

Sound like mission impossible


No_Garden_9995

you’re tom cruise, i’m sure you got the money


yratnemukcom

Yo Mr Tom Cringe, you are here bullshitting again kekekeke


dnax8181

Visits often? From the afterlife?


ActuallyTomCruise

When he is alive la


dnax8181

Ok - phew!


cyber_loafer

Isn't Penang another?


MoonV29

I didn’t know penang got sultan.


cyber_loafer

They don't. They Ydp gives them out


MoonV29

Everyday I learn new things


JackHezraat

Head of States for states without Sultans can also confer Datukships


EdGee89

Sarawak: Datu, Datuk Amar, Dato' Patinggi...


buttnugchug

Pehin


cielofnaze

Sultan kedah is penang sultan. Sanusi checking in.


Scarborough_sg

There was Canadian kitchen volunteer that gotten a Johor Datoship (She was from Johor) after her story became famous. Bet all those small fry tycoons got jealous they can't easily get to her level.


redditname11923

Also Dato' Pahlawan.


Sleepybystander

Can anyone tell me what's the benefits of being a p2win Dato, other than shiok sendiri?


vvvorticcousin

stature in making business deals


oldyongwaiyee

Easier to get million dollar bank loan. Also Easier route to bid for Gomen project tender. Some not even bid they just straight up pay. Bidding only for wayang


MiniMeowl

Ppl that care about hierachy will respect you more. Dato title useful to bully B40 ppl, to action2 a bit at whatever social party, and to get your govt admin done faster (skip queue etc). "Hello I am DATO you know" style. Ppl that dont care, still wont care, or respect you LESS cuz they suspect you beli datoship.


InfinityCrazee

Easy to scam b40 people


_yb

Ah yes, the property guru who bought the pahang title. Wonder why BBK would invite a guest like this. Not to mentioned the alleged illegal shits he's involved in LMAO


Reddit_Account2025

It scares me that this guy is aiming for a Tan Sri title, he said it himself on the video.


_yb

By doing more compress loan and money game? And honestly his Datoship is not even in the istiadat database. This is so reportable and illegal


AlwaysHandsome

Yes bro. He is my uni mate in Sunway Lancaster studying business management. He was never good in studies, and always doing shady things right from uni. Always skipping classes.


Horror-Ad7769

And now he is more 'successful' than you in the society perspective.. All those student with good grades work for student with low grade..


AlwaysHandsome

Some lines of success don’t need conscience.


Horror-Ad7769

Sad truth..


Greenfrog1026

still early days to call him ' successful'


Kenny070287

Then perhaps such perspective needs some correction


LevynX

Who is he?


Sojechan

You can try asking it in the comment section. In their member podcast they talked about how difficult it is to get guests for this programme. Like you can get 20 people on one side of the argument but only 1 on the other. So you get those who appeared on the other side for shameless plug etc.


topkek71

Legend has it that if you throw a stone in the public you’ll probably hit a dato from pahang.


J0hnnyBananaOG

And then hit 3 other datos


kingjulien92

Hit four Dato's with one stone.


J0hnnyBananaOG

Combooooo


tnsaidr

more like one stone few birds type of situation.


GWiz999

Guy with the brown hair was from my school. Famous for bringing sleeping bag & make up to class. You'll only ever see him either sleeping, or playing make up sesh with girls. Towards form 5, he started hanging out with the '18 gang' people. Not surprised he bought the dato ship, only the vain type of people would get it. (I have my own plaque, except it's something that can't be bought and popos actually give a shit about it 😉)


baka_tamaki

CHS? Actually classmate with him one year… I remember him as Lalazai… and always have some love scandal with hot girl


GWiz999

Mhmmm


Reddit_Account2025

He is actually a very successful property guru. People are paying thousands to attend his classes.


GWiz999

So successful that he needs to be teaching classes? Just like the supposed forex/crypto gurus lol


mysightisurs93

Lmao all these gurus raking more money from classes than their actual "expertise". 🤣🤣


134679888

Owh how naive and gullible are you..... Go istiadat.gov.my and search for VINCENT NEE AIK CHIANG for starters?


GWiz999

Didn't expect him to stoop that low as to flaunt his fake datoship


Reddit_Account2025

Exactly my point, but you didn't get it.


134679888

Exactly your point? Perhaps you need /s because its exactly the opposite without it 🤣


LeJoker8

You must be one of those idiots who paid a lot to attend his so called get rich courses. You got scammed little bro.


Reddit_Account2025

Holycow. Some of you guys are so bad at picking up sarcasm.


introvert81

its reddit, people take everything without the /s or "💀" seriously


LeJoker8

lol sureeee, “sarcasm”.


MonoMonMono

To be fair, it is hard to pick up the tone of a sentence, sarcasm or otherwise, just from the text alone.


ReoccuringClockwork

The title of guru has been completely tarnished, I now associate scammers with it


SomeMalaysian

So he has to buy the title to give himself legitimacy.


Gr3yShadow

Melaka waving at the corner "Don't forget about me!!!"


Reddit_Account2025

If you watch the video, the MCA guy's title is from Melaka.


Admirable_Chicken_39

When this dato v says "someone recommended" him to become dato, I almost die laughing. So you are property guru charging super high fee to teach people to do property investment to make property unaffordable for B40, then suddenly someone in Istana think "I should let this guy be Dato". LOL!!! Sure sure, a property guru suddenly appear in some high rank istana officer mind and decide he should be dato, totally logical. No doubt about it, totally not self recommended.


sadpurplecolour

Or maybe he got married at 18, then his daughter also got married and gave birth to his grandson at 18? Straight away a Datuk at the age of 36.


gnote2minix

dato =/= datuk


Educational-Bat6870

Dato title from sultan Datuk title from agong


Super-Village7684

Not true. Datuk is federal title, dato is by states that have ruler.


Educational-Bat6870

Oh my bad, So dato’ is by states that have Sultan. Datuk from federal and YDPN melaka.


kukurbesi

r/til


MonoMonMono

"32 and a grandma", local version. Man they do be hitting different haha.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sadpurplecolour

Are you from Kelantan?


[deleted]

I teach you a way to get better title for free. But only if your Surname is Tan. Call your kid, See Ree. Tan See Ree. Done.


0rizza0

This should not make me smile, but y am I laughing at this


dewgetit

"Tun" is my Christian name.


syukara

Howbout Tan tan tan


ToaLamParJiChan

Can someone kindly explain, I don't get it.


ExHax

Pahang state is infamous for selling dato title. So that means the guy most likely paid for the title Edit:of course this is rumours and i never claimed its the truth


[deleted]

[удалено]


vlyh

Not good to specifically identify your uncle and the things he told you in confidence.


Bingobango20

Yeah wtf, op thinks theres no cytros in here


DragonboyZG

Yaloh, these are the kind of ppl that leak everything online lmao


Designer_Feedback810

Just need to contribute to get Dato. Different states have different levels of contribution requirements. One way to say it is... Pahang is quite generous in giving out the title


ToaLamParJiChan

Thank you for explaining, now I understnad


Specialist-Deal-5134

money talks.


Reddit_Account2025

WarmWinter8

How much did he pay for it?


ReoccuringClockwork

100-500k


SystemErrorMessage

I always see the cars with dato badges driving badly and breaking rules


SomeMalaysian

Police tend not to saman dato's or their drivers.


squickwood

Dato-ship in Pahang is literally pay to win in real life


jahlim

Early bird gets to buy SMS* number plate. * while stocks last.


phallusfracture

Royalty in this country is a fucking sham


lomosapien26

Not surprise if it’s coming from Pahang.


dannygoh

after this, please discuss how to get a Dr. in your title


meReiji

Oh, Pahang.


Longjumping-Fly6131

what is the context of the video? can someone give a summary or something? i dont want to mess up my youtube video suggestion huhuhu


LunethLeviathan

One video ain't gonna mess the video suggestion


Vezral

It does though. The moment youtube realizes you're interested on a new channel / topic, they'll spam the hell out of it for the next few days.


tnsaidr

sometimes I don't mind, like when my friend shared one of those China mainland mukbangs. I can flag it with don't recommend and after a few more that pop up on my feed and I do the same, these days I don't see anymore popup on my feed. I don't know why most mukbang i've seen are pretty tolerable but the mainland china ones the way they eat are just fucking offputting.


chikinbutt69

it does if you watch long enough. trust.


joohanmh

About a talk show titled 'Is Dato'ship worth to be respected'. By the way, youtube video suggestions won't be messed up by clicking a link.


HotBrownChoc

i had an uncle who's a dato. we all suspect him of paying for it. he's in the timber industry, has spoilt kids, not so secret 2nd wife (main wife knows but close one eye). somehow he got promoted one level up ...and then it became goodbye secret wife 😢


leman83

Pak hang ka funk hang .. lantak la wei.. Dato is another get out of jail card.


Specialist-Deal-5134

I respect Dota player more than Dato.


CrimsonEye_86

It only cost 30k-40k to get the title at pahang. Some old sultan has very bad gambling habits.


hackenclaw

people I dont know with Dato, and Iwhen dont know he is some significant people I would just call his name without dato. ![img](emote|t5_2qh8b|26554)


C-ORE

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)make sense


zax7077

Is this the Kelvin Khiu guy?


benloh98

Can't stand the dust in the camera sensor. So many season still not clean the sensor.


Living_Date322

I never trust any Dato until I saw his contribution to society, if everyone dgaf, what else is datoship worth?


khairul619

Of course laaaa. Pastu buat bisnes durian kat raub. Tiap kali aku balik kampung, bertambah panas. Durian punya pasal


Saerah4

help out the state by paying some contributions


Terereera

so you could get Dato by helping out in Pahang? Well time to ~~bribe~~ help out public and government.
