Demikian laporan statistik terkini diterbitkan oleh Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim) yang memaparkan perbandingan bilangan masjid dan surau bagi setiap negeri untuk awal 2022.
Berdasarkan perangkaan terbaharu agensi itu, Negeri Sembilan didapati telah pun merekodkan pengurangan bilangan surau kepada 1,073 buah berbanding 1,106 buah awal tahun lepas.

Reports against 9 for allegedly using fake titles
ReplyDeleteThe Council of Datuk Dato’ Malaysia says these individuals are among many Malaysians claiming to be bestowed with Datuk, Datuk Seri and Tan Sri titles.
The Council of Datuk Dato’ Malaysia (MDDM) has lodged police reports against nine individuals for using fake Datuk, Datuk Seri and Tan Sri titles.
The individuals named included personalities in the corporate, entertainment and business sectors, and members of NGOs, said MDDM secretary-general Samson Mamon.
“We also came across a whole family using fake and unrecognised titles. Everyone in the family was a Datuk and we found none of them was legal,” he told reporters after lodging the reports at the Puchong Jaya police station.
Samson said there are also cases of many individuals listing these honorifics in their Companies Commission of Malaysia and Registrar of Societies records to enhance their corporate status.
“We also found that individuals had been using their fake titles when appearing on talk shows,” he said, adding that people who are approached by those with these fake awards often contacted the council for verification.
He reminded Malaysians that buying or selling such titles is against Act 787, which covers offences related to awards.
Samson said the council is not an enforcement body, but merely wants Malaysians to be aware that it is an offence for anyone to claim to have these titles without having received them.
The public may check their authenticity at the official government portal at www.istiadat.gov.my.
But DATUK YIP KUM FOOK is a fake title lawyer and he bought titles from some institutes from UK because he wants to play politics in Malaysia...Anwar's government needs to do a study as soon as possible, now many people know about it..he is still open to the law -official law and cheating people
