In October 2018, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng had rebuked the DAP Malacca chief Tey Kok Kiew and Wong on the acceptance the Malacca state "Datukship" in their first year as MLA which had breached the party's long-standing principal agreed upon since the mid-1990s on DAP elected representatives not to receive honours awards during their active political service period.[4][6][7] Lim called for those involved to apologise which Wong had obliged and even offered to return the award but Tey did not and remained adamant.[8][9][10]
