OMG! Have you heard? Lee Chong Wei is going to be awarded a Datukship for the first silver medal for Malaysia in 12 years.
Lee Chong Wei, made Malaysia proud in the Beijing Olympics 2008
Lee Chong Wei, made Malaysia proud in the Beijing Olympics 2008And then some Malay dude said Chong Wei shouldn't be given a Datuk title. I was like, Who the hell wants a Datuk? You gimme money emough already.
I mean, c'mon! Can't you see? Every Tom, Dick and Harry.... No wait, in Malaysia, there's no Tom or Dick or Harry... Every Ali, Ah Chong and Muthu.... and plain Sitis (in the West, plain Janes) has a Datuk. E.g. Datuk Siti Nurhaliza, Datuk K, Datuk Nicol David, Datuk Michelle Yeoh, Datuk this, Datuk that.
Be it athlete, politicians, businesspeople, celebrity, some guy/girl of the street, sooner or later you're gonna be a Datuk. I realise that this is very sexist. Guy or girl, you're a Datuk! Datuk is Malay for Grampa! A girl is a grampa! Can't they come up with something like Datin or Nenek? No, wait.... Datin is for wives of grampas.... Then, what is given for husbands of Datuks? Huh? Huh? So damn sexist, man! They didn't come up with it? Why? Because they think that women are less likely to get a Datuk than men. Even if they got a Datuk, they are most likely to marry another Datuk! They think that women are less capable to make Malaysia proud than men!!!!! Arghhhhhh!!!!
In England, there's sir and madam. Why can't it be Datuk and Datin in Malaysia? You're asking, "Then what about the wives and husbands of Datuks?"
Imma ask you this, "WHY ON EARTH SHOULD THEY GET A TITLE? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MAKE MALAYSIA PROUD OTHER THAN MARRYING A DATUK?????"

We just had an open discussion about this during the last Toastmasters meeting. We're not supposed to talk politics or religion during the meets but the Datukship was brought up. One person summed it up as such - a Datukship doesn't cost us taxpayers money. The 3k pension and 300k reward does. :)
