Agree! ... but knowing the boleh mentality, they will still say that LCW is playing singles which is much much more challenging and tiring. Doubles is more like a picnic, full of sunshine and love.
Why dont BAM suggest DLCW to quit SSF and participate in SEA Games? What in DLCW's head is money, rather than bring glory to him own country. And this is normal, for athletes. 1 is play few games and win hundred-thousands of ringgit. 1 is play more than few games and win nothing except medal. How much he gets by becoming SSF Champion? And how much he gets as SEA Game winner? 3 years old kampung boy win make the decision.
Tell me how bad is MAS MS' department before DLCW came in. And tell me how good is MAS MS' department after DLCW came in. I see him a good player without any major championship's medal in his pocket. Even HH is better from him if we are talking about Major Championship.
The SS Masters Finals is held in Malaysia, so LCW must participate . Probably, BAM is thinking: * The SS Masters Finals is held in Malaysia, so LCW must participate. * Malaysia aims to bag more medals at the SEA Games, so LCW must participate too. In contrast, PBSI is thinking: * Indonesia aims to bag more medals at the SEA Games, let's not enter the SS Masters Finals. .
Something to clarify here... LCW needs to enter SS Final due to sponsor's obligation, not only BAM alone... 1) LCW sponsored by YONEX, SS Masters too... So without China & Korea players, and with LCW titled world #1, therefore he must complete the tourney as requested. Else, MS department no more shine... YONEX sponsor the event (big prize), but no good players turn up... promotion strategy no longer effective. 2) SS Masters held at MAS. LCW as MAS citizen, with the homeground organizer, he also must turn up... For SEA games, actually in my opinion it's something to let our jr/youngsters to prepare (let them gain exp, also lose also nvm ma, we cant just rely on datuk only)... Coz it's just regional games, he can only got the chance for MS gold (and not ensure, coz Sony always perform well during big tourney, by kicking LCW out to spectators seat) unlike AG/OG, which the gold is more important for overall placing.
Sure, I will gladly provide such info... but only to the best of my personal library (brain ) Before LCW Malaysia Singles= -China Open 2003? WCH -AE 2001 or 2002? MHH - Philipine Open 2007? MHH (not considered a major tournament) - Roslin Hashim? Swiss open & Japan open title in 199x / 200x (7 point system) - Lee Tsuen Seng? some dutch open title in 199x / 200x (2 star tourney only) Mas singles generally enter very few finals of GP Tourneys in a year. Even fewer titles. Semis are normally rejoiced. WCH was the last person 'consistently' carrying Mas pride. but less titles and much fewer 'GP Open finals' as LCW. LCW may be a 'many time' bridesmaid' but his number of SS titles & GP titles is the best by a mile of any of his countrymen... all the way back to the time of Misbun himself. LCW can easily be regarded as the 'BEST PERFORMING MALAYSIAN MEN SINGLES PLAYER TO DATE (if no EVER)'. Please correct me if i'm wrong
You use the word before LCW. I am afraid you know less of mas badminton history since you only put some of recent MAS MS's player as compare to DLCW's. Let me show you something : - DLCW won 5 times Malaysia Open, which LD did not ever won before. But 1 of MAS great badminton player has won it 8 times - Wong Peng Soon. - Asian Badminton Championship - DLCW had won it once. But same goes to Foo Kok Keong, and twice by Rashid Sidek. - All England title - Wong Peng Soon & Eddy Choong won 4 times. Hafiz Hashim won once. DLCW Zero. A silver-medal in OG is still a loser. Nothing to be proud of as people only remember who is the winner, and not the 2nd place. To said DLCW is the most successful player for MAS MS's is too early. Where is the Major Championship medal?
is all the way back BEFORE misbun time... LOL! Eddy Chong come out... haha! But what dato said is fact... but cant apply to today situation...
The titles & Bridesmaid titles that LCW can out-number all those mentioned above titles combined. + LCW has to contend with the 'superhuman' Lin Dan as an ultimate adversary. Wong Peng Soon is also regarded as a Singapore Sporting Hero. He lived the rest of his life there for what I remember. So Malaysia must share WPS glory fairly & equally with Singapore. The 8 MAS OPEN Titles devided by 2 nations = 4 Mas Open Titles Only LCW 5 Titles still better (* jug8man is laughing insanely at his own crooked logic ) Yes, out of respect of the Old Timers, I choose to generalize up to Misbun time only and not ancient history. It would be no point trying to compare too far back into the past as it will never lead to a fair comparison due to differing circumstances of Then & Now.
its ok to me i used to it when pemuda drag the old glory of liverpool 18 league titles and 5 cl anyway liverpool fans is waiting two year longer(for epl/bpl) than mas fans(for thomas cup)
Wong Peng Soon was a great Badminton Player . In the end, Wong Peng Soon moved to Canada. Wong Peng Soon was a great Badminton Player and a great ambassador for Badminton. His winning records/contributions to Badminton can be searched and found everywhere via surfing the internet. .
