In this Bolehland, we can give Datukship to Bollywood actor. Wakaka, Shah Rukh Khan akan jadi Datuk!
The reasons given:
1. Shah Rukh was awarded the title for his contribution to the entertainment industry at international level. If this is the reason, maybe we should give datukship to Tom Cruise, and such.

We cannot give datukship to Tom Cruise because he's a scientologist.
I doubt Shah rukh khan even cares!
Tom Cruise may not be... but I can think of one actor that should also be given Datukship...
the HK stunt/actor tai kor ... Jackie Chan...
