ALOR STAR: "DYMM Raja Muda Perak Tuanku Tun Mamat Fadhil Duke Of Royal Malaysia British Bin DYTM Sheikh Tengku Lope Salleh Of Royal Irish Fusiller Princess Victoria."
This is the bizarre title printed on a business card belonging to a 39-year-old man impersonating as a member of the Perak royalty.
The suspect had even used the title when he appeared at the office of the sultan of Kedah here on June 28.
Kota Star police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Shukri Mat Akhir said a staff member at the Kedah Royal office sensed something amiss and lodged a report.
"The complainant said on June 28, at about 11.30am while on duty at the office of the sultan of Kedah, he was approached by a man who was accompanied by two women.
"The man had introduced himself by presenting a business card that read "DYMM Raja Muda Perak Tuanku Tun Mamat Fadhil Duke Of Royal Malaysia British Bin DYTM Sheikh Tengku Lope Salleh Of Royal Irish Fusiller Princess Victoria," Shukri said in a statement today.
He added that checks with the Perak Protocol and Ceremonial Unit confirmed that there was no member of Perak royalty by that name and identification card number.
"The suspect was detained at 5.30pm yesterday at the Kota Star district police headquarters.
"We have obtained a four-day remand order against the suspect beginning today," Shukri added. Police have classified the case under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
