The title ‘Megat’, ‘Puteri’, ‘Tun’, and ‘Meor’ can now be inherited by children of female descendants of Perak royal family, says Megat Terawis Clan Association secretary Megat Iskandar Megat Zaharuddin.
He said the descendants are from the Megat Terawis clan, Jamalullail family and Perak Malay royal family.
The question arose three months ago when the National Registration Department (NRD) issued a circular on inheritance of the titles but did not say anything on female descendants of Perak royal family.
Megat Iskandar said applicants only need to submit two documents, one on the family tree and supporting letters from heirs.
“The two documents are important as only then NRD can process the applications. If not, their children can’t use titles inherited from female descendants,” he said after representatives of the clans met NRD yesterday.
