WTF: Datuk Shah Rukh Khan?

Updated @ 10:12pm: Some other theories from across the bloggerhood at the end of the post...
Okay, okay, so Walski got this bit of totally worthless news from Utusan - Malaysia's most biased newspaper in existence. So sue him... Walski monitors what garbage the piece of shit paper puts out, and occassionally - apart from the continued Hindraf bashing - you get gems like this (translation by myAsylum).
Pelakon terkenal Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan merupakan antara penerima Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM) sempena hari jadi Yang Dipertua Negeri Melaka, Tun Mohd. Khalil Yaakob ke-70, esok.
Dengan penganugerahan darjah DMSM itu, Shah Rukh Khan akan bergelar Datuk.
Well known Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan is among the recipients of the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM), on the occassion of The Governor of Melaka, Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob's 70th birthday tomorrow.
With conference of the DMSM award, Shah Rukh Khan will be entitled to the honorific of Datuk.
(source: Utusan Online)
You must be wondering why Walski's interest in this non-news, which in Utusan's true style of bullshit journalism, doesn't go as far as to tell what the famous Bollywood star has done for Melaka to deserve the Datuk-ship. Well, truth be told, he has a theory to share with you folks.
As you may or may not know, the crowded pool of UMNO VP hopefuls includes Datuk Mohd Ali Rustam, Chief Minister of Melaka. Is this possibly an attempt to boost his popularity within the UMNO party voters? A kind of a twisted vote-buying exercise, perhaps?
Or is it some kind of Malaysian Indian appeasement exercise?
Seriously, why the fuck Shah Rukh Khan?
(inexplicable are the possible reasons, and more, in the full post)
Okay, so he's a big time actor who's gotten a shitload of awards from all and sundry. What on earth does he have to do with Melaka?
Let Walski make it crystal clear that this is not, by the way, a Shah Rukh Khan bashing post. Walski may not be a fan of Bollywood films, or care that there actually is a big difference between Shah Rukh and Genghiz, but what has Shah Rukh done for Melaka, or Ali Rustam, to deserve the award?
Siti Nurhaliza, Walski can (almost) understand. But Shah Rukh Khan?
Surely it can't be that it's because almost all the Sultans of ancient Malacca had "Shah" as part of their names, which is the closest thing to a plausible explanation Walski could find.
Which, as explanations go, isn't a good one at all...
Okay, so Bollywood is big with many Malaysians of various IQ levels across all DNA pools, and as hunks go, Shah Rukh's a pretty good looking one. But is making Shah Rukh Khan a Datuk going to help rally Wall Street or the KLSE to a glorious Bollywood-style rebound? Walski thinks... NOT.
Samy Vellu may probably come out and make an idiotic statement of how the conferring the award shows that Indian are treated well under the BN government. Apart from the MIC die-hards, no one will probably give a shit...
Which brings us back to the question: why is Shah Rukh Khan getting a Datuk-ship? Anyone will agree that even RPK would be more deserving.
Anyone care to enlighten Walski?
Update: Blogger Hasbullah Pit has a theory of his own... go read it. Funny stuff... Still, Walski's not convinced. Next...

but like i said, it is malaysian obsession thingy... more for the politican...
Malaysia can stage a world class lame jokes! Shah Rukh Khan? Datuk? My goodness? what's his contributions? So many ppl in msia that deserve it goes un-notice.
i foresee in the future everyone in the entertainment industry will be known as Datuk!
Habis cerita!
This is one piece of very ridiculous news. What has Shah Rukh Khan got to do with Malaysia?
Read elsewhere that he didn't even make it to the ceremony.
And my sister, being very sharp, asked "Does he even WANT to be a Datuk?"
I doubt it. I wonder WHAT these flers were thinking...
Anyone know who nominated this Bollywood guy?
Three new Polls on UMNO Elections: -
1. Who do you want as the new Youth Chief for UMNO?
2. Who do you want as the new Deputy President for UMNO?
3. Should Members of Barisan Nasional converge to form a Single MULTIRACIAL Party?

Ah, Melaka - the Factory of Datuk Pingats - has risen (or "fallen" depending on how you look at it) to yet another new level.
And to think that THIS was where the glorious Kesultanan Melayu Melaka was once centred!
Well, since Melaka is now at it, I'd like to suggest a Tan Sri award to an even bigger star - Tan Sri Robert De Niro
And for Tun, I'm sure many will agree that Tun Roger Waters - the genius behind Pink Floyd - IS DESERVING>
Aside from filming a few movies using Malaysia as a backdrop, what else has Shah Rukh done for 'make benefit glorious nation Malaysia'?
Some minister's daughter must have pestered daddy to add his name to the list...
May be that low-life Lari Roastdumb is selling the titles to raise fund for his um_no
election ?
Goes to show how worthless a datukship actually is.
I had my own rants and reason to believe that this has become a total mockery... read on at http://nexuskhan.wordpress.com/2008/10/12/datuk-shahrukh-khan-maa-ehhhhh/ and awesome posting you've got yourself ;)
Hey Walski,
I read this on the sidebar during some news I was watching with my mum - and we both burst out laughing!
What's with these guys, ah? Every day, they come up with something new to confirm that they are morons. And we've put the country in their hands? Heaven help us all!

Since I didn't watch the movie, I don't know how did khan promoted Malacca. Perhaps in the credit he appeared and promoted the place or the running credits gave an unusually long pause and credit to Malacca (which we know noone stays to watch running credits, do you remember the pageboy or the stuntpeople?) or somewhere in the set they had the name of A Formosa followed by a subtitle giving address and contact number.
Tot those who watched the movie will goggle over his kashmir carpet frontal and himalayan contoured derriere and have their hearts a flutter each time they pan to his angelic 'mat salleh' coloured face or be mesmerised and hypnotised by the swaying buxom dancers leapfrogging from sea to mountains and trotting on hedges to tree tops than to really be interested in the background or scenery props. But then again, plot seems secondary to hero and heroine worship in bollywood movies, one can suppose the audience pay attention to the settings besides their idols than the story-line. That may be how our our CM Rustam is accustomed to watching bollywood movies!

I should be award Datukship for being COOL.
SHAH RUK KHAN HAS A LOT TO DO WITH MALAYSIA.
Top of the List is that Rosmah's (Najib's Wife)is an Ardent Fan. He was invited to Najib's house to meet up with Rosmah....
Khalil who was former MB of Pahang knows too well of Rosmah's fancies.
What with Ali Rustam vying to be Najib's deputy...It's all part of the game politicians play and us lesser mortals to puzzle over!!
Dalai llama
Do you know that they have actually found the 9th wonder of the world? This is it, or rather HE is it...Datuk Ali Rustam..makes you wonder....
What a great post.
Thanks
