Re: - Justice and peace must be believed It is so sad if justice is not believed in this world, just as sad as if peace is not believed. Of course like the elderly says, life is a struggle. I truly believe L/C has been working hard enough or they would not be in the final. Just a bit of twist of luck in the bad way really. Nobody questions their determination and hard work. I don’t think we were wishing for an easy hand over of the trophy. To be unfair judged by some is just injustice. Nobody says it’s easy. Also, kampung (village) folks, like most of us, usually are peace loving and a close-knit society, better than a lot of insensitive and soulless vagabonds in the city. Justice is off course hard sought for. However to live in this civilized age with a moden open mind, justice must be upheld with no compromise of peace or life. So, in the process of seeking justice, I think it’s just unwise to provoke religious and racial sentiments. If we r careless, peace can be compromised! Be wise!
You can't type in my quote, just like you can't put words in my mouth. I'm more for peace, human rights and environment protection. So, which ever party is good enough will get my vote. I don't have inflexible political ideology. Come back to the court of badminton. I hope Hancock might see this thread and come forwards to defend herself. Hancock, say something! If u hear us, we still love u! I am glad so many wise people from both camps have come forwards to give very balanced ideas. Peace!
Re: Re: - Well from the tone of the character it sounded like one of those bombers lurking in the heart of SEA. english saying' People living in glass houses should not throw stones", or is it " People who live in grass houses should not sytow thrones?" I never brought out any issue about race or religion, guess who did, kampung mentality can mean anyone . Anyway check with your local UMnO politician about WAWASAN 2020 etc and the need to develop a first world mentality. And since you are new to the forum can you stop prolonging this topic,like I said we must never air our dirty linen in public for the world to see, what we need to address is to improve our thinking skills and maturity to match those of others, otherwise we will end up "Mickeys" for all to scorn..
we are good Peace! Peace! Firstly, I don't condone any violent act including bombing. I would rather just smashing my badminton racquet. Buddha says we must appreciate life. Secondly, don't keep saying to the world that we have third world mentality. For your information, I am a professional working in the first world at the moment. I think a lot of Malaysians are advanced in mentality in various respects like peace loving, racial and religious tolerant, "boleh" (we can) mentality etc. We will win some champions espcially in badminton this year. Come on, Malaysia team, We "BOLEH"!
Yeah, the Danish coach was also caught on camera talking to his mobile, texting etc ? Is it allowed, won't it be disturbing to the match. I hope IBF do have meetings on concluded tournaments. I don't think we are harping on old issues. Future can only be better if we mirror it with the past!
Hey, guys! I found something on the net, read on: "...Colin Haughton made history on Friday when he became the first player to receive a yellow card in English badminton. England number one Haughton was trailing 7-6 in the first game of his second-round match with Warwickshire's Chris Dakin when his mobile phone started ringing. Under a worldwide rule introduced only on Thursday, the Slovenian, Scottish and Icelandic champion saw yellow as umpire Jane Hancock brandished a card at him. "I don't know who was ringing. I didn't realise I had left the phone in my bag," admitted Haughton, from Manchester. ..." I think the umpire is the same one and if so, she has history of brandishing yellow cards. Why didn't she give a yellow card to the Danish coach when he was talking to his mobile? A narrow escape??
Another yellow card from Jane Hancock: "14 April 2003......Pittard was a world championship wild card, and had battled through to the final after beating Kelly Mathews of Hertfordshire in the semi-final, during which she received a yellow card and a stern word from umpire Jane Hancock. Pittard had thrown her racket to the floor in disgust at a line call ..." Gee, I did not know yellow cards are quite common in badminton!
The Danish national is Jan Jorgensen and it is not the first time he was on his cell phone. He was on his cell phone during the semi-final match for JR and Lars Paaske and Sang / Yang from China. I can understand why she would give a yellow card to Haughton for his phone going off. He should have turned it off or at least put it on vibrate.
Hahaha... My friend, that's just hilarious! But can u make the baby smashing badminton or brandishing a yellow card, that will be more relevant and funnier...
