Datukship for Lee Chong Wei?

Is the Penang state government dead set on heaping a Datuk title on Lee Chong Wei? My advice is:
Don't!


Please don't do it because you are setting a very dangerous precedence. A bigger worry is that you may be destroying his career. He'll be put under immense pressure to perform and live up to the award. Chong Wei is not Nicol David. She is strong enough to handle it but can he too? So I say, let him be. Please let him be. Find other ways to recognise his achievement but don't give him this title.

I agree! If anyone in the badminton industry deserves a datukship, it'd be Misbun Sidek, Lee Chong Wei's coach for showing us great, positive examples all these years. Let LCW serve the country for a few more years before conferring his such an honorific title that would soon lose its credence because all of these recent stunts by Penang Governor/govt.
