I had an old student who was a driver to a chinese towkay. Towkay passed on and driver married widow and presto, he was given a datukship. He tried to impress me by introducing me to his bodyguard. He further tried to impress me by offering me a cigar that I could buy from seven-eleven. I told him I prefer my monte cristo.You can now pay by installment I hear, for a datukship that is. Even if finally they force a datukship on you, I wiull still call you Captain.
