• 16px New enough, long enough, well referenced and neutral. No apparent close paraphrasing from the English sources I can access. The hook is interesting and its separate parts are all cited. QPQ is done. 97198 (talk) 02:23, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

• 16px Hi, I came by to promote this, and while the first hook facts check out, I don't see anything about being knighted. Even the Wikipedia article on the nobility title doesn't mention knighting. Do you want to tweak the wording to say that the king conferred a title of nobility on him? Yoninah (talk) 01:14, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

• Template:Re Here's the quote from the book linked above: "Tsao was conferred Tan Sri, a knighthood, by the king of Malaysia." "Knighted" is shorter and hookier than "conferred a title of nobility". "Tan Sri" is the Malaysian equivalent of the European knighthood, see also this book. -Zanhe (talk) 03:38, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
