Shahrukh Khan Honoured With Datuk

The Malaysian government has decided to confer the title of Datuk to Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan on December 6 2008.Shahrukh is expected to be dressed in traditional Malaysian dress - lack costume with a waistband, a songkok and a black cap which is the official attire to receive the award from the Malaccan royal chief, Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob.Malaccan authorities, however, say Shah Rukh’s shoot in Malaysia had benefitted the country immensely, giving it global publicity without any money being spent.It is said that the Malaysian Datukhship is equivalent to what the British confer as Knighthood.Here you go Shahrukh… A new feather in your already crowded cap!
