Honorary Title At A Price Here in Bolehland, many a individual hankers for honorary titles.. Typically those who have it made, they wish to announce to the world... They have arrived, money in abundance, recognition now they crave... By Maslov theory of human behaviour, it is but a natural progression... For being human, we all welcome peer admiration and recognition... Here in Bolehland, questions abound about one getting a Datukship ... For there is just one Datuk too many, even when it does not come cheap... What one needs is big bucks despite less than exemplary character... You and me, with the right amount of bucks, a Datukship can be odered... If Datukship is what you want, just make ready some sizeable money.... The award used to be a deserving honour only to individuals... Who has contributed greatly and honorably to society in general... But nowadays the honorary title is available for a price... Money talks and royal honors can be bought, if one meets the price... With royalties in so many states, you can be a Datuk multiple times over.. Now there has been a shooting incident, a young Datuk of 32... Meeting an untimely shooting death at the hands of his bodyguard.. At the tender age of 32, somehow he had a Datuk title... And obviously money, for he had need for personal protection..... Which is rightly unusual in this Bolehland, with peace loving people... Maybe in the end godly justice was served for this young Datuk .... For his new bodyguard was an executioner out on his 1st day at work... Is it poetic justice that one so young, honorific title Datuk bestowed. .. Should meet such an inglorious and premature violent end ..... Brings acutely to mind the wisdom in the English proverb... This departed Datuk must have been involved in crimes... For being so young, needing and buying protection from armed men... He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.... Higher justice was at work, and here on earth, justice might have been served...
