. I don't know about Taufik (regarding participating in the 2011 SEA Games), but the latest news I heard is that the Indonesian SEA Games squad will replace Fran and Pia with World No.19 pair Debby Susanto and M. Rijal. Source: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/10/28/franpia-dropped-sea-games-squad.html .

I really miss TH when he was at his top, but hey, true fans always support their idol through ups and downs, am I right?

SIN has their best shuttlers except their top MD. THA has their best shuttlers except their top MS, Boonsak. The rest also should have their best shuttlers save for MAS, who are missing KKK/TBH, LCW and CEH/WPT but their 2nd singles and doubles are there

seriously, watching his4 kings game vs ld, although he wasn't that close to winning, it seriously looks like he lost a lot of weight and hasbeen training compared tohis early 2011 form
Interesting that he would come out and say it. Maybe they should rope in Tago, Sato, Boonsak, NTM, the Avengers, the Justice League, the X-Men et al

Why is he losing so easily..... I really hope he would give some fight. I miss Taufik when he was ata his peak form.
The Sherriff is back in Town The saloon doors swing inwards and a hush descends in the tense, smoke-filled atmosphere. The bartender's hand freezes, bottle in mid-air, as the patrons on the stools swivel round and squint through the thick, swirling smoke at the outline of the man framed in the door, the backlight creating a fuzzy silhouette. On the card tables, players quietly fold and move their chairs away from the tables, hands in plain sight. The ones near the door see him then. There is a menace returned to the walk, the way the hands are inhumanly still over the pearl handles. People shift uneasily under the stare of those eyes, and lick lips suddenly dry. The grizzled old man cackles and laughs. "Well, lookee here all ye young pups. The Master is back! Taufik is back, and he's shootin' from the hip again, straight and true!" The word spreads like wildfire though the colony: "the old Sherriff is back in town! There ain't nowhere to hide!" And so, we welcome Taufik to the Macau Open once again. And there's no law against dreaming, is there?
. At this 2011 Macau Open GPG. I believe that LCW and Taufik could be facing each other at the MS Finals. http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=79DD09AD-9356-4F40-BEC8-AC951A265EF1&draw=2 .
No more... LCW has given a walkover in round 1, and that makes Taufik the top playing seed in the tournament! Now if he can manage to live up to his billing...
