Shahrukh received the Datuk from the state of Malacca in their national dress Baju Melayu . For the uninitiated, Datuk is the highest award given to a foreigner by the state of Malacca. Shahrukh received this award because his last 6 movies were shot in this place - leading to a boost in tourism for the country.
I think the outfit certainly suits him. What do you think?
Shahrukh Khan at the ceremony to receive the Datuk. Baju Melayu the national dress of Malaysia
Here's a short description of their national dress: On ceremonial occassions, the men wear the Baju Melayu consisting of a loose shirt and a pair of long trousers. A sarung known as sampin is wrapped around the waist and is left to hang half-way over the trousers. The headgear consists of a black fez-like cap known as a songkok, whereas on grander ocassions, a tanjak or tengkolok is donned.
