I just find LCW and TBH too shy and sometimes passive in their play. KKK, he sometimes messes up, but when he has the confidence going, he makes miracles.
Who is pemuda? hmm, i'm sure u surely dont wanna know him for God's sake and yeah, he is really a good boy.
too shy and passive? No No..you are wrong. They are just being 'generous' to their opponent of course..and of course based on cooler's theory too,
I expect that banana guy to come out from his banana hole again to conquer bc and this thread after the wc if mas players failed... as usual..mr banana routine
eager to start and show the tiger's teeth. then, not able to push over the limit. talk loud but ........ but some do talk a lot but did not do what they have been assigned for... what can i say? the truth is always or will hurt one's feeling. then, there is nothing much to talk about. one story, Lee Chong Wei is the best player. err.... he is world number ONE. Lin Dan is no where near him yet.
Let us have some past results of MAS on the major championships (i.e. World Championship, All England, Thomas Cup, Sudirman Cup & Olympic Games) in badminton sports. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER - 0 ** CHINA 40, INDONESIA 18 Players with big name such as Misbun Sidek, Rashid Sidek, Foo Kok Keong, Yong Hock Kin, Ong Ewe Hock, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, Hafiz Hashim, Roslin Hashim, Jailani Sidek/ Razif Sidek, Cheah Soon Kit/ Soo Beng Kiang/, Yap Kim Hock/ Tan Kim Her, Chung Tan Fook/Lee Wan Wah, Koo Kien Keat/ Tan Boon Heong did not ever won the World Championship before. ALL ENGLAND MEN'S SINGLE WINNER - 10 (1949,1951,1952,1953,1954,1955,1956,1957,1966,2003) ** CHINA 13, INDONESIA 15. Wong Peng Soon, Eddy Choong, Tan Aik Huang, Hafiz Hashim amongst the winner. Other players 0. MEN'S DOUBLES WINNER - 11 (1949,1951,1952,1953,1954,1959,1965,1966,1971,1982,2007) ** CHINA 4, INDONESIA 15. Ooi Teck Hock, Teoh Seng Khoon, David Ewe Choong, Eddy Choong, Ong Poh Lim, Lim Say Hup, Teh Kew San, Ng Boon Bee, Tan Yee Khan, Punch Gunalan, Razif Sidek, Jalaini Sidek, Koo Kien Keat, Tan Boon Heong amongst the winner. Other players 0. THOMAS CUP WINNNER - 5 (1949,1952,1955,1967,1992) ** CHINA 7, INDONESIA 13. SUDIRMAN CUP WINNER - 0 ** CHINA 7, INDONESIA 1. OLYMPIC GAMES WINNER - 0 ** CHINA 11, INDONESIA 6. Malaysia is a powerhouse in badminton?? If yes, where is our World Champion? Where is our Olympic Gold Medallist? It is very lucky to represent Mas in Badminton sports. If you are doing good, you will get more than what you deserves:- -1992 Thomas Cup Team - hefty rewards in terms of money and properties, making EACH player become instant Millionaire. - Hafiz Hashim in winning the 2003 AE Champion - hefty rewards. - Lee Chong Wei conferred with the title of 'Datuk' after 'successfully' won the silver medallist in Olympic Games 2008 + RM300,000.00 from government. And if you are in non-performance situation, you will be given chances and chances:- - Mohd. Hafiz Hashim still the No.2 Men's single player in MAS although his lousy performance since 2003, after he had won the AE Title. - Kuan Beng Hong still in the National 1st team. - Koo Kien Keat/ Tan Boon Heong. (No need the further discuss here, can refer the story under the thread ' KKK/TBH in comeback trail') Government will still funding BAM. BAM will still hire best coach. Just like Chelsea, only manager will get sacked if the team is not performing/under-expectation. And no players will be held responsible on it. So, whose fault, after spending alot of money in the sport and the return is far from expected?
HH was hefty rewarded for his 2003 AE title, I am puzzled why this boy has no drive after this one time wonder. If not money, fame nor glory, what would motivate this boy? he sure has physical attributes to be a very top MS player.
Is it really??.. ..is it really peaceful & quieter in this forum??..*scratches head* Good recap, Dato Asbullah..M'sia might not have lived up to the WC & Olympics Gold aspirations, but at the very least they've got some AE, SC & TC titles in the cabinet..
What have MAS won ''recently''? MAS won the AE title in 2003 (HH) & 2007 (KKK/TBH). MAS won the Thomas Cup in 1992. Other than that, we have to rewind back 50++years ago........
MAS have 2 worlds no. 1 - DLCW, CEH/WPT. And another elite pair - KKK/TBH. So theoretically, yes, MAS is able to win the SC. But practically......MAS need miracles.
..yes, a typo on my part...Thank you for actually reading it carefully! ..yes, no major title for MAS to show for since 2007. We all can see that..
are you talking about you yourselves? I can see that MAS actually have won nothing 'recently' ..But i hope the new and the latest will be commence shortly..another 1 more week to go.. yeah, so pray hard for mas in this year wc then..
i would like to think that Malaysia is on the resurgence since we last won our thomas cup.. we have more and better players..... .our youngsters are. at least promising somewhat... the new guard...... there is one hope in julia wong and perhaps lydia cheah there might be hope in 1 or 2 up and coming youngsters there is a handful of mens doubles to look forward to mix doubles and womens doubles.. maybe not yet compare this to the rather gloomy years of post thomas cup win.. that last one i am an optimist i think the original poster's theory on politics and race is bunch of bs... and is disrespectful to all those excellent malaysian badminton champions of yesteryear regards manlat
I think u are right. The Malaysian Badminton got good back up especially in the MD,WD and WS, We are more optimistic than the last 5/6 years ago. All we do now is just GROOM them well.
