SEREMBAN: A special meeting on the awarding of state titles and honours held at Istana Besar Seri Menanti has decided to rescind a decision to bestow the Darjah Setia Bakti Negeri Sembilan (DBNS) to RITZ Corporate Holding Bhd managing director Ibrahim Yahaya.
Negri Sembilan Registrar of Awards Datuk Dr Razali Ab Malik, who is also state secretary, said the decision was made on Wednesday (Jan 29) after a meeting at the palace.
Ibrahim was awarded the DBNS, which carries the title Datuk, on Jan 14 in conjunction with the 72nd birthday of state ruler Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.
Razali said the decision was taken to safeguard the Negri Sembilan royal institution.
On Thursday (Jan 30), the ruler's private secretary Mohd Nizam Mohd Akhir, in a statement, said the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan was not the patron of RITZ Corporate Holding.
He said Tuanku Muhriz never gave his consent to be the company patron.
"The company had never made any application seeking Tuanku Muhriz's consent to become its patron.
"As such, any institution or individual contacted by anyone regarding the above should lodge a police report as it is fraud," he said.
