Khan you believe it

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was awarded Datukship by Melaka Sultan because he helped promoted Melaka's tourism back in 2001 when he shooted a movie in 'A Fomosa'.

It's ridiculous to award him Datukship because of that. He doesn't contributed any other thing towards Melaka, let alone Malaysia, and he's not even sure where Melaka is located I suppose. And it's not his intention or influence that prompted the filming company to shoot at Melaka. So what has he done to deserve the Datukship?

Or is it because our Malaysia's Datukship going cheap again like before? Is it he's related to someone's important within Malaysia prompt the Raja to award him the Datukship? Back in 90s, there were so many Datuks walking around town, that people actually hanging an animal head on the Datukship, indicating anyone can obtain Datukship easily as any animals.

Do you still remember Jackie Chan took the film Police Story 3 in Malaysia around KL town? He took the movie shoots in Railway station, Malaysia highcourt, Dataran Merdeka etc. Then why not Jackie being awarded a Tan Sri-ship because his movie promoted worldwide, more than this Bollywood start Shah Rukh Khan? Once Hollywood director too shooting a film in KL and he too deserve at least a Datukship because of his movie contribution.

There are too many other actors, directors who's taking their movie shooting team to Malaysia and they too were the more deserved Datuks than this damning Shah Rukh Khan. It's ridiculous for them to even mentioned his name among those awarded such title. Luckily I'm not one of them or else I would given it back because it's a cheap skate Datuk!
