I notice Mak is also playing in HK super series and Macau GP with chinese taipei players...I believe he might have joined the team like Fung Permadi back in the 90s...
latest there have 2 regular pairs as below: Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong Hoon Thien How/Tan Wee Kiong now there are top 3 back up to fight the no.3 pair and enter for next Thomas Cup: Goh V Shem/Teo Kok Siang Lim Khim Wah/Ow Yao Han Chooi Kah Ming/Teo Ee Yi
so call Top 3 back-up cannot even win the MAS Satelite and some even lost to 4 or 5th rank INA players how to boleh???
well, Mak and his unknown TPE partner has qualified to main draw and face another qualifiers in R32...
Mak Hee Chun is probably one of the players with the most wasted talent. Ow Yao Han might follow the same road if Tan Kim Her continues screwing around.
yap Kim hock should be brought back... He was good with the national team and then demoted to bukit jalil but he contim to produce world champ at jumuiro

These junior need pay rise, at least rm5k a month... After all they r the best of malaysia. Top students fresh grads also get good pay
nope,it should be flexible systematic and performance base. attend full training session,pay them with basic + full attendance allowance if they skip training,cut their basis. give them a budget for next year tournament,discus together which tournament to be play,what (reasonable )target didnt reach target, punishment(extra training session) reach target,choose one extra tournament or allowance exceed target,give him one more tournament and some allowance. --- but i think it takes bam a century for them to change the money sucking mindset and start to think for player and malaysia badminton future.
Sportsmen don't attend training to get paid. We need the right motivator here. Proper training environment to sharpen their ability to make a name / achieve their goals n dreams. Rm3-5k pay to cover their nourishment should be suffice. Real rewards (endorsement deals n prize money) come to those who succeed. If they want a paying job to afford a lifestyle/house/car, they can always checkout the job market. Make it big then renegotiate salary. The world is round and the court is rectangle. All is fair depending on how u look at it.
