This tournament will start next week, but, there's still no news on the draws and countries participating. For Indonesia, they have confirmed that only the second-string players will be sent. At least, Markis Kidho/Hendra Setiawan and Hendra Gunawan/Joko Riyadi will compete in the men's doubles. They have been set a target of semi-final and quarter-final respectively by Christian Hadinata (quoting from Bola). I hope Markis/Hendra can get their first title if the other countries' top pairs also decide to abstain (which is likely).

Firstly,You posted in the wrong thread.

As for the Asian Championships it will be held form 6th to 11th of this month and the draws are likely to come out on the 3rd or 4th.

Prominent among the top players to take part in the event are former All England champion Hashim Muhdii of Malyasia, twice Asian champion Sony Dwi Kuncora of Indonesia and Athens Olympics semi-finalist Boonsak Pnsana besides Lee Hyin Il of Korea and Ng Wei of Hong Kong.
Whenever i hear of any news through media sources about this 4 star tournament i will let everyone know.

Unfortunately, the report is incorrect on a couple of accounts. I believe Malaysia will not be sending their top Men's Singles players, hence no Muhammad Hafiz Hashim, Lee Chong Wei or Wong Choon Hann. How they got "Hashim Muhdii" from Muhammad Hafiz Hashim is mind boggling. However, the older Hashim brother, Roslin, will play. One out of two ain't bad.
