Coming in TV9 in Malaysia:

Jaguh: A reality programme about a nationwide search for the best badminton players. There will be a series of tournaments in each state in Peninsular Malaysia to identify sports talents who will then be trained by ex-Malaysian badminton player Rashid Sidek. The finalists get to play against the National Badminton team to determine who the best player is.

Sorry, I don't know much about the Sidek brothers but is there something wrong?

I know they were good players and coaches (isn't the illegal S serve named after him?) but is there some reason he wouldn't be right for the program?

racial survivor? what kind of redneck programs do you get up in Canada!!

Seriously though, this sounds interesting. There is an equivalent programme in the UK about football and last year the winner of the competition won the prize of a contract with Chelsea football club

TV9?? I guess only certain areas in Malaysia will be able to get that channel.

**Dreamzz** · 09-29-2006, 05:23 AM

yeah, hopefully someone will be able to record this for us ...

**ants** · 09-29-2006, 05:25 AM

Only in Malaysia. Unfortunately it may not be aired in other countries. Spore and Thailand might get some signals.

I am living in the wrong part of the world that's for sure..

**FEND.** · 10-05-2006, 10:13 PM

O_O . Nice. Something new in reality tv at last!!

Ants get your tivo on now!! (I'm assuming you have one to record but if not, BUY ONE NOW!!)

**ants** · 10-05-2006, 10:23 PM

omigosh, when will it start? This is cool

**maa2003** · 10-06-2006, 09:42 AM

Indonesia has one named "Smash" ....... with the host Olympic Champion and World Champion Ricky Subagja ..... sponsor by Astec (Alan-Susi Technology, a very own brand of Olympic champion pair) .....

I just watched it once when I returned home ........ IIRC, they use 30 rally points, with every pair/player serve 5 consecutive times .....
