Cannot stand it already. Aargh.

When the day comes where politics and sports become so intertwined you, Chong Wei, you will be one of the main culprits.

VChing, Vching, cool down, LCW is not happy abt it either, & he said so. Misbun was there, in private he would have gave those ppl a piece of his mind too.
LCW just came back, they arranged all the activities already, dont judge too fast

Hmm... better start saving up money to send my yet to be born son for badminton training...

**mmnoor** · 08-21-2008, 06:42 AM

Err.... I don't remember Cheah Soon Kit and Soo Beng Kiang being a "Datuk" ... so why the double standard?? They won Silver also...

**taneepak** · 08-21-2008, 06:52 AM

There are only less than 4 days left in the Beijing Olympics. How many medals have Malaysia won? When was the last time Malaysia won any Olympics medal? A datukship is actually small change.

Cheah soon kit & yap kim hock, 2 ppl get 1 silver so only 1/2 datuk

Were you being sarcastic?

Mind you, this is not the first time he is doing it. He campaigned politically in Gopeng in the March Elections. Koo/Tan were also campaigning politically after their AE07 title.

Anyway, my article which is also a letter to the editor of Malaysiakini:

Barisan Nasional’s silver medal

And.... side note, Sports Minister announced they will give RM50,000 to Misbun as appreciation of his hard work in training LCW & to assist Misbun financially for his wife's dialysis. Misbun's wife has failed kidneys - both kidneys, has to undergo dialysis 3 X a week.

Misbun looked a bit teary when reporters asked for his comments.

And according to what I heard, Guang Ming Daily reported that LCW is

he's being used as political mileage. He said dont use him to pull votes over in Penang.

Rightly said.I hope LCW and Misbun are smart enough to know that politicians are opportunist and they should keep far distant with them.

I beg to differ with you. Silver medalist is not a loser. Silver medalist can still be a hero. In my opinion, LCW is national hero that fought hard to to win honour for the country. He fail to win gold medal but he will be remember as a sportman that inching towards the peak in this OG. He is my hero.

The point is LCW should not be conferred a datukship this early. He is probably just half way through his professional badminton career and he still has a lot of mountains to climb.
