The reason came out in the press today : CWF had fever,that's why he retired in rubber and also why Arif played MS1. http://www.bharian.com.my/Current_News/BH/Wednesday/Sukan/20081217053506/Article/print_html http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2008&dt=1217&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Sukan&pg=su_06.htm
Rules I know very little about the Asean University Games, so I went to the following website to find out who are eligible to compete: http://www.aug2008.com.my/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2 Rules & Regulations GENERAL RULES 1. ELIGIBILITY 1.1 Only a national university sports organization, or any national organization that is responsible for university sports in ASEAN countries, is eligible to present its nation at the 14th ASEAN University Games - 2008. 1.2 Only the followings shall participate as competitors in the 14th ASEAN University Games - 2008. a. Students who have officially registered for and are taking a full time studying course at a university or institute which functions as a university and is recognized by the appropriate national academic authority of their country. They must be citizens of the nation. b. Former students of the institutions mentioned in the above article who have obtained their academic degree or diploma in the year preceding the event. c. Only undergraduate students whose origins are of ASEAN countries are eligible to participate. d. The players of the ages from 18 to 28 (January 1st in the year of the event is the date for age consideration). 1.3 Only those who are amateurs according to the rules laid down by the ASEAN University Sports Council and in accordance with the IOC Amateur Code can compete in the events of 14th ASEAN University Games. 1.4 Each country may enter one (1) competitor per event I just wonder whether all the participating countries abide strictly by the rules.

Fransiska Ratnasari is a good player, it was just luck hasn't been with her in about these 3 years. and don't forget she is very pretty and smart, she had good grades. a good example for any university students all over ASEAN.
