A Tan Sri-ship is a Federal title that is bestowed by the Agong and cannot be bestowed by a state. <BR/><BR/>Tan Sris are also limited in the number of local living holders of the title allowed, and Tan Sris are treated as a VVIP regardless of post, at least in commonwealth countries, as it's equivalent to feudal titular holders, so it is a big deal.<BR/><BR/>The highest title that a state monarch can bestow is a Datuk Seri or equivalent. That is why some VVIPs are refered to as Tan Sri Datuk Seri, to inferr holding of a senior Federal and State title.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238867141039750843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30322670.post-16071009931307130082008-06-06T01:03:00.000-07:002008-06-06T01:03:00.000-07:00I know of a Petronas manpower supplier who has a D...I know of a Petronas manpower supplier who has a Datuk from Pahang and a Tan Sri from Kelantan.
