Dato Boy Iman re-arrested and remanded, Pahang Government To Investigate and bring title issue to Sultan.

PEKAN: The Pahang government will investigate the conferment of the Darjah Indera Mahkota Pahang (DIMP) award, which carries the title "Datuk", on an actor who is currently being investigated over a housing scam.

State secretary Datuk Seri Muhammad Safian Ismail said initial action had been taken to check if the actor had ever received any state medal or award.

"Everything is under investigation. Action can be taken if the actor used the title without credentials," he told reporters after the Annual Training Camp 2017 of Regiment 505 of the Malay Regiment in Sungai Miang here.

Muhammad Safian also did not dismiss the possibility of bringing the matter to the attention of the Sultan of Pahang for further action, including possible revocation of the award and title.

On Oct 3, the actor, along with two others, were arrested following 188 police reports made by individuals who claimed to have been cheated by two companies offering to sell houses below the market price. – Bernama
