Koo Kean Keat & Tan Boon Heong - Going Downhill?

**wood_22_chuck** · 03-17-2008, 01:10 AM

koo_fan, no one doubts your level of faith into Koo Kien Keat. There comes a time when your idol ceases to display the characteristics that attracted you to him in the first place.

Nothing can take away the hard work, talent and skill that won them the All-England title last year.

Now that Rexy has come out and confirmed the critics, I suggest you take a long hard look at what Kien Keat has become, and maybe wait a bit, till he has a change of character for the better.

This is not an attack, but merely a mild suggestion on how to protect your forum reputation from diminishing.

Typical problem in Malaysian sport.

What we are seeing now in KKK/TBH is not a one off incident. Many years ago, I have a friend who at 16 years of age was selected to the Malaysian U19 football team. This friend of mine was really talented. And he was sent to Europe for training and all. Sure enough, he attracted a few scouts from some pro clubs in France & maybe Denmark if I am not mistaken. However, instead of taking the challenge of testing himself in Europe, he decided to opt for our Malaysian League. He wanted to play for Selangor and while waiting for the offer he hung out regularly at Planet Hollywood. Today, instead of playing for Selangor he is playing for Tunas Harapan FC. That offer from Selangor never came. I met up with him before chinese new year and he is now working in a courier company as some delivery personnel. This is a pure waste of talent.

And like Hafiz, KKK/TBH we are gonna continue to have this waste of potential until we address our mentality and the set up of sports associations across the country.

Tan Boon Heong might be paired with someone closer to his age.

What KKK needs is a mentor on court. And TBH is his junior so to speak. CCM was a great mentor to him on and off court during their partnership together. KKK does need some guidance. He seems lost sometimes. But for their age.. we do expect some errors from them.

Hmmm.... I'd amend that to say 'what KKK needs is a mentor off court'

From what Rexy says, his off-court script is proving to be his undoing.

What KKK needs is a good dressing down by Rexy & BAM. If need be, throw the guy into the reserves pool and let him simmer there for sometime.

actually, i know for sure...during China Open last year..Rexy had to warn KKK to be back by midnite if not, he would not be sent to HKG Open....KKK did go back to hotel before 12...

I think it might be good for them at least for now.. Throw them out of OG.. continous bundles will make matter worst..
Come London 2012, both were about 25/26 yrs old. if they could overcome their mental probllem both on & off court, there will still a chance for glory.
"SPLIT" might not solve the issue, IF KKK never changes, whoever he partner next will be expecting the same outcome in future.

But a 22 year old should be mature enough to know what's the best for him. Esp when they're having a great father figure like Rexy, cant believe KKK still didnt learn from past mistakes.....

I second that. So that they wont take things for granted.

But to be fair, KKK should not shoulder the blame on his own. BAM and all needs to be accountable as well.

KKK can switch to MS since he's fast enuf to cover whole court, still can change dept
