I feel strongly against awarding him the money, what more giving him a Datukship.
Here's my case :
1) Our badminton players who have been awarded heavily in the past, such as Rashid Sidek, Foo Kok Keong and many more have ended up as bankrupts.
2) Our Previous Prime Minister has mentioned that we SHOULD NOT spoil our players.
3) The most recent example would be Hafiz Hashim, who won the singles title in the All-England, then gained belly fat, then failed to qualify for the Olympics.
4) Let's face it, which youth in Malaysia actually look up to Datuks nowadays? As far as we're concerned, Datukships can be bought. Our mentality, Datuk = fat, cigar smoking, corrupted bastard.
Based on the past, it is not wrong to say that Chong Wei just might end up like them. Instead, he should be a real man, and say No, to these things.
