拿督vs Datuk
如果您不是马来西亚人或不了解马来语,那么您可能很难理解拿督和拿督之间的区别。马来语有许多难以理解的荣誉头衔,尤其是对于一个不习惯自己的陌生人或一个人来说customs and traditions。马来西亚和文莱是两个国家,其中有一个大量使用头衔。实际上,在印度尼西亚和新加坡等国家也可以找到许多具有此类头衔的人。在本文中,我们将局限于在马来西亚流行的两个标题拿督和拿督区分开。
马来西亚有一个授予标题持有人的妻子可以在女性版本中使用相同标题的人的制度。但是,如果一个女人是头衔持有人,她的丈夫无权自己使用标题。现在,让我们专注于找到有关Dato和Datuk的更多信息。

If one looks at the ranks of federal awards, PJN and PSD rank 9th and 10th among such awards given at thefederal level. If a man is called Datuk, his wife is referred to as Datin.
