So ever since Bollywood actor
Shah Rukh Khan was conferred the Datuk-ship by Melaka for “making a movie that promoted the state to the whole world”, various other suggestions for Datuk-ships have been made by various other alert Malaysians.
Lim Kit Siang wanted the titles to also go to
Catherine Zeta Jones (woohoo!) and
Sean Connery since they filmed “Entrapment” here which made the KLCC famous, while blogger Kenny Sia has forwarded
Jessica Alba’s name for her contributions to Sarawak and the Iban people in “The Sleeping Dictionary” – a film Mojo Daily regards as a masterpiece.
And now, Mojo Daily joins the fray by strongly recommending the gals of
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, class of 2000.
In case you didn’t know, that particular issue was shot at Malaysia’s very own Pangkor Laut Resort. Yes, the biggest swimsuit publication came all the way to our humble land, slapped on the tiniest of bikinis on to the most beautiful of babes and made Pangkor Laut a famous enough name that even the likes of Joan Collins and the late Luciano Pavarotti vacationed here.
So please oh please confer these deserving individuals some sort of medal or title. And please invite them over for an encore…
