[MENTION=89734]clawhammers[/MENTION] Much much thanks to you! It appears to have been just another PR exercise on the whole. Incidentally, I too felt that Ami Gumelar was kinda in charge of proceedings and Taufik ceded the stage to her
I remember, a long time ago there was posted on youtube a 4-part radio interview with Taufik, that went live on a radio station in (I think) Jakarta. That interview was again -obviously- in Bahasa I think. But what stood out for me was Taufik's very thoughtful and (probably) insightful demeanour when he spoke. I somehow felt that especially during that particular interview, he wanted to allow the rest of the people to know his private self and his personal beliefs, philosophy and convictions. I got this from following the tone, pauses and general flow of conversation and the vocal and facial responses of his two interviewers. I could of course, be totally wrong, but somehow I don't feel I am... Now, if only it could be shared with the rest of the world, to whatever extent....

Thank you again, clawhammers for your very kind offer. Now, please excuse me, I'm gonna be busy for a while....
Looks like taufik was having a hard time in india few days back.. [video=youtube;6kweameYwuw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kweameYwuw[/video]
Quite right, it's a super series and there is old guys with gray hair and 4inch glasses lens doing the lines, I would be surprised if they could even see as far as the badminton court, shocking!
You are missing something.. India superseries line calls are better than china superseries and any other superseries in the world.
Ha ha.. I have seen so many line judges with lens bigger than his (what you have seen) in all other super series as well..
A 8-part video of something that looks like a special on Taufik...... Here's the link for part 1.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGp0orEyGm4
It was a famous Indonesian TV opera live show. These Indonesian comedians play the life of TH If I'm not mistaken, the show broadcasted a couple days ago
