<h2>Dato&#8217; dan Datuk: Ejaan manakah yang betul?</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p>Untuk pengetahuan semua, ejaan &#8216;Dato&#8217; dan &#8216;Datuk&#8217; adalah betul dan umum digunakan di Malaysia. Tetapi yang membezakannya adalah penggunaannya yang bergantung kepada konteks dan pilihan peribadi.</p>
<p>Namun, perbezaannya juga bergantung bagaimana dan di mana gelaran tersebut digunakan serta tahap prestij yang dikaitkan dengan masing-masing.</p>
<p>Ini hanya dua daripada banyak gelaran kehormatan yang biasa digunakan di Malaysia.</p>

<p><p>Kedua-dua gelaran tersebut ialah gelaran persekutuan. Namun, gelaran &#8216;Tun&#8217; dianggap sebagai anugerah paling berprestij di Malaysia.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Tidak lebih daripada 35 pemegang gelaran &#8216;Tun&#8217; yang masih hidup. Contohnya, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.</p>
<p>Sementara itu, gelaran &#8216;Tan Sri&#8217; diletakkan setingkat di bawah &#8216;Tun&#8217; dan berkongsi pangkat yang sama dengan gelaran negeri &#8216;Dato&#8217; Sri&#8217; dan &#8216;Dato&#8217; Seri&#8217;. Sebagai contoh, Michelle Yeoh pemenang Academy Award for Best Actress, dianugerahkan gelaran Tan Sri pada tahun 2013.﻿</p>

<p><p>They are both federal titles, however, <i><b></b></i><b>Tun</b><i><b></b></i> is considered the most prestigious award in Malaysia.

<p>Meanwhile, <b><i></i>Tan Sri<i></i></b> ranks just below <i></i>Tun<i> </i>and shares equivalent rank with state titles<i> </i>Dato&#8217; Sri<i> </i>and<i> </i>Dato&#8217; Seri<i>. </i>For example, Michelle Yeoh, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://says.com/my/entertainment/michelle-yeoh-first-malaysian-win-oscar-award" title="Link: https://says.com/my/entertainment/michelle-yeoh-first-malaysian-win-oscar-award">who won the Academy Award for Best Actress</a>, gained the title of Tan Sri in 2013.</p>
