The Kelantan royal palace has revoked the datukship of Independent Pasir Mas MP and Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali.
The palace has also revoked the title carrying the term "datuk" of former state secretary Wan Hashim Wan Daud.
When contacted, Ibrahim confirmed that he was informed of the matter earlier this morning by the Kelantan secretary of the revocation.
The title was bestowed on him by the then Kelantan sultan, Sultan Ismail Petra.
“I do not know the reasons, but on Oct 7, I had visited Sultan Ismail at Istana Mahkota. Since his illness and return to Kelantan, this was the first time I visited him. I am very close to Sultan Ismail.
“Whatever it is, it is not an issue to me. I accept it (the news) with an open heart,” said the veteran politician in an SMS message.
According to the Perkasa chief, he has been completely loyal to the current Kelantan Sultan, Tuanku Muhammad V.
“I maintain my stand, which is to uphold the institution of the rulers, because it forms the basis of the country's constitution and is a part of the Malay culture to extol the sovereignty of the ruler. Ampun Tuanku,” he said.
Ibrahim also clarified that he was still 'datuk' as he was awarded datukships in Selangor and Melaka. - Malaysiakini

He deserves more titles? Yes, definitely! How about "Biggest KATAK", "THICK SKIN"? He's stripped of the title becoz he's a disgrace to the Malays!

I have always wondered why the English word “thick” can also mean “stupid”. If Ibrahim’s title was revoked because he visited the previous Sultan a few days’ ago, he is not very smart is he? Anyway, looking at his thick face, thick neck and thick skin, the English are right after all

This katak is only loyal to who ever pays his royal upkeep..To him sultan is only a means to an end as what the UMNO practises all these while. otherwise the sultan is fairgame remember what happen in trengganu "NATANG"??? It is high time the Sultans understood where they stood and act wisely to regain the rakyat's loss trust and respect...DAULAT TUANKU

This guy is a liar through and through. He said he did not benefit from Sports Toto when everyone said he did. He said he was not using the handphone in parliament the other day when everyone saw. He said he just visited the former Sultan and spoke like normal friends and suddenly his Datukship was revoked. He may think the whole world is stupid but I think his days are numbered. Only Tun Apa Nama Mamak Scum can save this Scum. Wasalam.
