    CHONG WEI RECEIVES DARJAH BAKTI AWARD
    Bernama - 2 hours 31 minutes ago(EMBARGO: FOR RELEASE ON OR AFTER 1030 HRS, JUNE 6)


    KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- World number one singles badminton player Datuk Lee Chong Wei has been chosen as the second recipient of the Darjah Bakti (D.B.) award in conjunction with the birthday of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin today.

    Squash queen Datuk Nicol Ann David was the first recipient of the award last year.

    Chong Wei was conferred the award in recognition of his achievements in badminton, particularly in the Beijing Olympics last year where he won the silver medal - his best ever.

    Introduced on June 26 1975, the award is meant for Malaysians who make outstanding contributions in raising the stature of the country in various fields.

    The Darjah Bakti award, which does not carry any title, is limited to 10 recipients at any one time.

    SPORT-AWARD 2 KUALA LUMPUR

    Despite losing several major tournaments, Chong Wei, 27, from Bukit Mertajam, Penang has fought hard to stay at the top of world badminton.

    He began serious participation in the sport when he represented Bukit Mertajam District in the Penang School Sports Council championship at the age of 14 in 1996 and since then there was no looking back.

    Named the National Sportsman of the year in 2005 and 2008, Chong Wei was conferred the Ahli Mangku Negara (AMN) award in 2006 and the Darjah Setia Pangkuan Negeri (DSPN) after the Beijing Games, which carries the title "Datuk" by Penang.

    Besides the DB award given to Chong Wei today, former national soccer player Datuk Abdul Ghani Minhat received the Panglima Jasa Negara (PJN), which carries the title "Datuk".

    Abdul Ghani, 73, from Kampung Solok, Rantau, Negeri Sembilan was hailed as "raja bola" (king of football) for his feat in helping Selangor to clinch the Malaya (now Malaysia) Cup for Selangor in 1956, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1966, 1968 and 1969.

    SPORTS-AWARD 3 (LAST) KUALA LUMPUR

    In the international arena, he had helped Malaya lift the Pestabola Merdeka trophy three times in a row from 1958 to 1960.

    He was also instrumental in the national squad's gold medal haul in the SEAP Games (now SEA Games) in 1961 when they edged Burma (now Myanmar) 2-1 in the final.

    Abdul Ghani was bestowed the Pingat Jasa Kebaktian (PJK) in 1962, Ahli Mangku Negara (AMN) in 1967 and again in 1971.

    He was conferred the Darjah Indera Mahkota Pahang (DIMP) from Pahang that carries the title "Datuk" in 2000 and the Dato' Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (DSSA) award from Selangor.

    Abdul Ghani was named the Footballer of the Year in 1959 and 1960, the Sportsman of the Year in 1959 and was the winner of the FAM-SAM-Glamour World of Sports Award 1996.

    Chong Wei: A smashing young Malaysian

    Sunday, 08 November 2009 21:03

    PETALING JAYA – Lee Chong Wei rules again! The country’s favourite badminton star has clinched a major title in the Ten Outstanding Young Malaysians Awards at the TOYM presentation here on Saturday night.

    The World No 1 player was named the top personality in the Personal Improvement and Accomplishment category of the award.

    Thr 27-year-old, who beat out two insurance sales people and another badminton celebrity, Wong Pei Tty, who is part of the World No 1 women’s badminton doubles, said he postponed a trip to the Nov 11 Hong Kong Open to attend the TOYM awards ceremony.

    “I am very excited about this. I did not expect to win,” he said.

    He was one of the recipients of the TOYM programme which recognises young Malaysians aged 18 to 40 with noteworthy contributions to fields as diverse as business, politics, cultural achievement, religious leadership and scientific development.

    Founder and CEO of Masterskill Education Group Edmund Santhara received the award for the Business, Economic and Entre*preneurial Accomplishment category.

    Taylor’s College director of research and development Dr Vikneswaran Nair was chosenfor the Academic Leadership and Accomplishment category.

    For the Cultural Achievement and the Moral/Religious Leadership categories, Conservatoire Royal de Musique de Bruzelles (Belgium) master composer Chong Kee Yong and Young Buddhist Association of Malaysia president Dr Ong See Yew won respectively.

    Champion for disabled persons accessibility Murugeswaran Veerasamy was given the award for the Humanitarian and Voluntary Service category.

    Michelle was world winner

    The TOYM, originating from the Ten Out*standing Young Persons of the World programme, was the 24th held in Malaysia since it was introduced here in 1985.

    The coveted world award has so far been won by just seven Malaysians, with international actress Michelle Yeoh being the last Malaysian to receive it back in 2003.
