Lee Chong Wei was made a Datuk by the Penang Government on Thursday, but the Beijing Olympics silver medallist still preferred to be called by his name instead of his title, China Press reported.
“I am not used to people calling me Datuk, so you should just call me Chong Wei. I hope people will continue to call me that,” he said.
Lee thanked the state government for awarding the DSPN to him, saying that he would take it as an inspiration.
“I hope I can play better than my performance in the Olympics in the future,” he said, adding that he has continued with his training for the Japan Open next month.
