tahniah le mak ET ya. dah dapat datin seri plak. tapi tak pelah… gua tak heran pun negeri pahang ni. paling senang nak dapat title. memang style pahang jual title pd sape2 je yg nak kan title D or T. cuma yg gua percaya giler hanya selangor dan johor je. mereka bukan senang2 nak bg title pd seseorang.
