Datuk Khalid Jafri

I never realise that, author Khalid Jafri, who was found liable for defaming ex-deputy PM Anwar Ibrahim through his 50 Dalil Mengapa Anwar Tidak Boleh Jadi PM (50 Reasons Why Anwar Cannot Become PM), was made Datuk last year.
"Khalid, who was awarded a datukship by the Malacca state government last year, also faces a criminal charge of sedition which is ongoing."
Again, I never realise that writing such a pariah book can land oneself with a Datukship. Hows the Datukship conferment policy lookalike nowadays? By producing such masterpiece?
Reason: Contribution towards promoting literature advancement among Malaysia Society?
Probably, I can come out with a book titled 50 Dalil Mengapa Malaysia Tidak Boleh Jadi Maju and who knows, I might be bestowed with a Datukship too?
