Pandelela shows her gold medal after the women’s 10m platform final at the Fina Diving World Cup and test event for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre May 5, 2021. ― AFP picKUCHING, May 11 — It is still a good idea for national diving queen Pandelela Rinong to be honoured with honorific title such as Datukship since she has delivered pride, glory and fame to the country, said Tasik Biru assemblyman Datuk Henry Harry Jinep.
“If at the age of 28 she is considered matured enough and able to carry the title , so why not consider her for the title,” he said. “From the past record, we can see she has been awarded for all the achievements she has achieved. These came from the government, the private sector, the individuals and the corporate sector who have rewarded her handsomely by giving cash and kind, while the State Aquatic Centre has been named after her.
He also pointed out that more rewards for Pandelela will be a just recognition for her more than 20 years of pain, hardship and probably mental stress to reach her present level. Pandelela had been quoted as saying having a sense of achievement to excel in sports and bringing glory to Sarawak and Malaysia as a whole are her motivation instead of being rewarded with titles such as a Datukship.
Pandelela had also mentioned that sponsorships were more important for her because as an athlete, she also needed to think about what she could do when she eventually retires one day.
