SEREMBAN (Jan 31): The Negeri Sembilan state award “Darjah Setia Bakti Negeri Sembilan” (D.B.N.S), that comes with the title “Datuk”, conferred on Ritz Corporate Holding Berhad managing director Ibrahim Yahaya on Jan 14, has been withdrawn with immediate effect.

The decision was made at a special meeting on the conferment of Negeri Sembilan state awards at Istana Besar Seri Menanti, Kuala Pilah, last Wednesday, said its registrar Datuk Dr Razali Ab Malik in a statement today.

“The decision is aimed at preserving the dignity and honour of the Negeri Sembilan royal institution," he added.

Yesterday, the Office of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan refuted a claim by Ritz Corporate Holding Berhad that the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir is the patron of the company.
