As far as the recent success in badminton is concern by this bright penangnite, he is absurdly being given a taste of the same which happen to many of bright people in boilhland since last 20 odd years.

But most absurd is that why the precedent was not followed, if the previous silver medalist get their recognition in the parliment then just maintain the standard lah, why the double standards,

Daulat Tuanku!!!

and really we do not need all these datukship for this young folks. Give them some award without titles. anyway datukships are not well looked upon.

I contrasted a datukship, tan sri title or tunship (and therefore reputation) against character.

I said that awards are ornate while character is innate.

Now let me contract the awards against academic qualifications.

Awards are ascribed while academic qualifications (not the Ph.D type of Arif Shah) are attained or achieved.

Therein lies the basic difference.

LCW had won an Olympic silver and he was well rewarded financially. That’s fine and he deserves it, ‘cos the reward was clearly announced before the Games started.

Silver is not Gold. LCW is not the World Champion. LCW is not the best in the world of badminton (men), unlike Nicol who is the best in the world of squash (women) and wins titles consistently. LCW is still young and he should be encouraged to reach for the sky.

LCW can be rewarded with a Datukship later. Why the hurry?

By bestowing a Datukship to a person who is not the best in his field of endeavour and still early in his career, the Penang State Government is setting a bad precedent. How can the State not bestow a Datukship to another similar mediocre achiever later? Kangkong datuk!

Likewise, a number of PKR and DAP Perak state assemblymen so quickly and greedily accepted titles (just because they were elected by the rakyat during the last GE), before they even started to serve the rakyat properly and before they show us their capability, is shamefully wrong!

We have to ask ourselves: Are DAP, PKR, and PAS politicians any different from Umno, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc politicians? Are they all just political animals?! Do they walk the talk?

If he is out of ideas on how to do that (the same way he was out of ideas against Lin Dan in the final), he can consider wearing shirts with ‘C4′ painted on the front and back the next time he finds himself in a photo session with the jokers.

Dedikasi = Daddy Kasi.

A tiring past time indeed, so much so that after having got hold of someone’s name, we have to take some time off to recover. So, relax lah. That’s our culture.

Also, in all official functions, the MC invariably spent 10 to 15 minutes to address all the so-called VIPs there, like saying Yang Mulia …….., Yang Amat Berhormat …….., Yang Berhormat …….., Yang Berbohong ………. etc. An exercise that wastes lots and lots of manhours!

No wonder, AAB always ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz …….

You know, our BN politicians, civil servants, VCs, and academics love long titles or tails at the front and back of their names.

Once upon a time, we had Kaptain Datuk Prof. Dr. Hashim Yaakob or Bill Board Kaptain Datuk Prof. Dr. Hashim Yaakob (UM) and now we have Lt. Kol. Prof. Datuk Dr. Kamaruzaman Hj. Ampon (UMS) and Dato’ Seri Prof. Dr. Ibrahim bin Abu Shah, PJN, SPSK, DCSM, DPMK, DPMS, PGBK, DMSM, JBK, DNS, PBS, BCM (UiTM).

“He is now looking for another PhD awarding university!!”

I read somewhere that one of our local universities (not OUM) has recently dished out a pHD to a top UMNO politician? Maybe our good friend and PP MP wannabe can try this U?

True, true, and after having been exhibited as prized animals by their political masters, Koo-Tan went downhill into oblivion. Will LCW suffer the same fate, after being manipulated by the cursed hands of Umno?
