After our Squash Princess, Datuk Nicol Ann David, Penang will award a Datukship to badminton singles player Lee Chong Wei, 26, who won the silver medal at the Beijing Olympics recently. This is quite ‘BIG’ achievement for LCW since he’s yet to become gold medallist or capture other most prestigous medal in Badminton like Olympic, World Championship, Thomas Cup winner or All England Championship.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas would confer the Darjah Setia Pangkuan Negeri (DSPN), which carries the title Datuk, on Lee on Aug 30. He said Chong Wei had done not only Penang but also Malaysia proud with his achievement.
p/s: I wonder the support behind his success or other player as they also deserved something . ie MIsbun, Rexy or Yap Kim Hock
