Honours, styles and titles of Malaysia

Malaysia has a complex system of styles, titles, honours and awards by which Malaysians and qualified foreigners are honoured by the country's monarch or its state's rulers for actions or deeds that benefit their community, state or the country at large.

The monarch and state rulers are regarded as the fount of all honours—as they are the the only person who may create new national or state honours—and act as the Sovereign of all Malaysia's or his State's orders; he will conduct inductions of present medals. In Malaysia, the monarch is the Yang di-Pertuan Agong while state rulers are the heads of nine of the states of Malaysia, who also carries out investitures and distributes awards in the sovereign's name.

At the same time, Malaysia regularly award honorary and life titles. All non-hereditary titles can be granted both for men and women. Every title has a form which can be used by the wife of the title holder. This form is not used by the husband of a titled woman; such a woman will bear a title which is the same as a titled man.
