[KiniNews] Penang is the latest state to strip convicted former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak of his honours.
State governor Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak stripped Najib of the Darjah Utama Pangkuan Negeri (DUPN) title, which carries the Datuk Seri honorific.
A statement by acting state secretary Mohd Zakuan Zakaria cited Najib's conviction and sentencing as the reason behind the move.
On Monday, Najib and his wife Rosmah Mansor - who had also been convicted for corruption - had their titles from Selangor stripped.
The couple also had their titles from Negeri Sembilan stripped in 2018.
However, the couple still has numerous Datuk Seri titles from other states.
