Tak habis habis with this space tourist.
Wanna to promote space tourism?
Now pokkai olready, where got money for a second space tourist?
What so great about this space tourist after spending so much of the country money. The money can help a lot of poor people.
On what basis is he awarded the Datukship? Make a mockery with this kind of award.
His whole family never claimed to be a malay and insisted that they are Arabian. Bahasa Malaysia pun kalah to a chinaman
What? Oh, no,..
Why stop at honouring him with Datukship? Why not let him have the Prime Minister post now?
P T U I...!!!

This Datukship award is a total disgrace. What has this fellow done to deserve such an award anyway? He went to space on the rakyat's expenses, enjoyed the glory of being the so-called first Malaysian astronaut when he was merely a tourist, and for this he was rewarded with a Datukship???? Even a prominent politician like Lim Kit Siang turned down a datukship by reasoning that he has not done enough for the nation to deserve such an award.
The person who propose him for the title are brainless.
yeah this guy totally deserves the award. You people think eating nasi lemak in space is easy? Dammit gettin the peanuts onto the fork is hard as it is on earth. Why stop there? give him a Tun-ship.
Where the fcuk is his scientific paper regarding his theories of the effect of space travel in the human brain which he boasted about a few months ago?
I could easily picked two worthy Malaysian for the award eventhough it has to be given posthumously:-
1)Sybil Kathigesu - recipient of the George Medal "The highest British civilian award for bravery"
2)Dr.Wu Lien-Teh "Plague fighter extraordinaire" that saved millions of lives worldwide.
These two are really extraordinary Malaysian of substance, that is ironically recognised by others but ignored by our own government!
Now BN are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for this space clown!
PTUI..! again!

What about the malaysian Chinese who swam across the Straits of Gibraltar last week? Not even a PJK?
