in next "kick andy show" of metroTV, will tell about lius pongoh life story, in a highlight, lius pongoh's crying to tell that he ever tried to suicide by drinking "baygon", a poisonous liquid but his life was saved. it was just becos he was dumped by his girlfriend. he showed the newspaper in tv that wrote about his suicide attempting
he is a PBSI official, an assistant to Rudy hartono, he was indonesia former ms player, he won japan open 1981.
Lius Pongoh used to be one of Indonesia's finest MS player known as "bola karet" because he's not tall but he's able to return almost every shot from his opponents, now he's one of the manager in Pelatnas.
I remembered that was one match where Liem Swie King was leading 14-0 against Lius Ponggoh but Lius managed to fight every single point until he beat Liem Swie King 15-14, miracle! Comparabe to LCW beat Lin Dan with in MO06.
PEHL also win against Dong Jiong after trailing 4-13 (if I'm not wrong). but Lius Pongoh achievement was unbelievable.
I did not expect that he would this story in TV.....I knew this story just last year...it was too personal.......
He is actually the director of development ( Direcktur Pembinaan) of PBSI.....Christian is Manager of Pelatnas/Head coach
Baygon is used to spray or kill insect/mosquitos......common use for suicidal attempt... you should try it....
He is not assistant to Rudi hartono anymore..Rudi is no longer at PBSI....he is development director now...higher position than Christian's....
Met Koh Lius Pongoh at the China Open 2007...a nice guy and definitely a great asset to PBSI at the moment. It's a pity we can't spend more time together at the HKG Open 2007.
Yes.. ..and his rise to his current position can be read in this thread (just over a yr. ago): http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38193..and i assume coach Christian has taken over Lius' previous position??..
