The Late Datuk Punch was a player, administrator...his contribution to the sport for Malaysia and the world cannot be overstated. Rest in Peace

Women, what is the first thing you grab if your house is on fire? Children? Lipstick?

Men, what is the thing you wish to do before you 'clock out'?

Well, for Punch Gunalan, it was to watch his last glimpse of LCW vs LD Olympics final.

I'm just only finding out now that his name 'Punch' sticked to his name after he beat Tan Aik Huang, supposedly a giant killer in his heydays. Unfortunately I never had the golden opportunities to really view their playing styles like Eddy Choong, Teh Kiew San, Ng Boon Bee and the likes. Videos then were so dark and black and white. Not suitable for keen learners. I saw Boon Bee while having bak kut teh last week.
