KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 — The late PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has been posthumously conferred the “Tan Sri” title in conjunction with the celebration of His Majesty’s official birthday today.
His award was announced by the Information Department today.
Nik Aziz died at the age of 84 after battling prostate cancer in 2015.
Veteran DAP politician Lim Kit Siang was also conferred the prestigious “Tan Sri” title, months after he announced his retirement from active politics.
The former DAP Parliamentary leader would be the first from his party to receive the second-highest federal title, following its convention for the party leaders to not accept such awards while still serving voters.
The “Tan Sri” is the second-highest federal title after “Tun”, bestowed under the awards of Panglima Mangku Negara (PMN) and Darjah Panglima Setia Mahkota (PSM).
Other recipients of the PSM with political background included Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul, former foreign affairs minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman and former minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
