Malaysians are usually called by their given names preceded by Mr., Mrs., or Miss. The Chinese use their family names preceded by Mr., Mrs., or Miss. When addressing a titled person you can just use his title without his name.
"Datuk" (sometimes spelt Dato or Dato'), which literally means grandfather, is a title conferred to prominent Malaysians by the King or Sultans on their birthdays. The wife of a "Datuk" should be addressed as "Datin" but if it is a woman who is conferred with the title of "Datuk" (which is quite rare) her husband is not affected by her title. Higher up on the title hierarchy is "Tan Sri" (similar to "Sir" in Britain) and the wife of a "Tan Sri" should be addressed as "Puan Sri".
