The “king of police” reports, Abdul Rani Kulup Abdullah, was “hauled up” by the cops today, over the “Datuk Paduka Mahkota Melaka” title he recently received from the self-proclaimed Malacca sultan.

Abdul Rani, who is also president of Martabat Jalinan Muhibbah Malaysia, had originally wanted to give the police his statement at a mamak shop in Gombak, but was instead taken to the Gombak police station in a patrol car.

At the investiture ceremony, Abdul Rani was given a “Datukship” by self-proclaimed Malacca sultan Noor Jan Shah Tuah, who is currently being investigated for sedition.

"For five years I have been making police reports until I was dubbed the 'king of reports'. But today the king was hauled up to the police station...

"People have said the 'report king' would get it (hauled up), and there you have it, I have (been hauled up). But there was a reason for it, the facts of the case (the awarding of datukship) are very confusing," Rani told reporters after he had his statement taken.

One of the police reports he lodged in November last year was against PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar for meeting with Sulu "princess" Jacel H Kiram Hasan.

Abdul Rani, noted for his paramilitary-style outfit, red beret, sunglasses and walking cane, has lodged hundreds of police reports over the past few years, accoding to press reports.

Abdul Rani, 61, from Kuala Kangsar, who was grilled for three hours today, also admitted that the Datukship he got in Malacca was not recognised.

"This (title) is not recognised because the Malacca sultanate had ended long ago. Suddenly there's this Noor Jan fellow, who made up his own facts," he said.

This is the second time Noor Jan is being probed for sedition, after a similar investigation over a similar investiture ceremony he held last year.
