The Chinese actress said she deeply treasured the recognition, calling it a ‘precious gift’

Popular Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, who has been conferred the Darjah Pangkuan Seri Melaka (DPSM), has pledged to continue promoting the historic Malaysian city to global tourists.

“I will be here in Melaka next month to promote tourism and will travel here frequently,” she said after receiving the honorary award, which carries the title “datuk”, similar to a knighthood, during the investiture ceremony in conjunction with the birthday of Melaka Governor Mohd Ali Rustam on Sunday.

Fan said she was elated with the honour and deeply treasured the recognition from the Melaka government.

“This is such a precious gift to me,” she said.
