    ya, just like during Thomas Cup year 2010 where Malaysia is the Host, in the grouping match against Japan, Malaysia lead 2-0 but then end up lost in 2-3 tie, because that time the 2nd MS, 2nd MD and 3rd MS are so weak, and this result came back to Thomas Cup 2016 when against Denmark in SF match, leading 2-0, end up lose 2-3, and that time LCW just watch his own team lose in despair...

    not in the point of view of the Malaysians, you know

    Harsh truth. Most citizen who follow badminton won't be pleased to see players paid by their tax money lose without a fight in home tournament.

    There isn't a rule that says the host must win the title/tournament.

    Without a fight is a bit harsh I'd say, havent seen a player in the TC/UC who didnt give it their best

    Who says they are not fighting. Put younger players in, tell them win or lose is OK but need fighting spirit all the way through.

    Remember that I specifically refers to the condition where MAS does not reach top 4, the spot to get to main TC through this tournament.

    The issue however will be worse during the determination of the 3 remaining countries to qualify based from world ranking. In Asia, the contenders are:
    Indonesia, China, India, Japan, Taipei, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand and Malaysia.

    To be honest, MAS is not at a safe place to qualify through WR. Besides LCW, MAS other MS are only at 45th. MD reshuffle has cost them dear with V Shem/Wee Kiong will drop to rank 30 by the end of this week (after losing their last year Dubai's winner points). Yew Sin/Ee Yi only ranked 24.

    Indonesia, China, India will qualify for sure, together with Thailand as the host. Japan (Momota rising, Tsuneyama-Nishimoto both inside top 30, Kamura/Sonoda-Hoki/Inoue-Kobayashi/Kaneko all inside top 25) is ahead of MAS. The same case with Taipei (CTC & WTW are top 10, Hsu Jen Hao top 30, 4 MDs inside top 20).

    MAS will be neck-to-neck with Korea and Hong Kong to secure the remaining 2 places, especially if the just repaired MD do not perform well. Seems like HK is at the tail at the moment, but who knows.

    I believe that is what the coaching staff in MAS is considering while asking LCW to help with this tournament, to secure a place in TC final.
    Imagine what the backlash will be if they did not make it to the final stage....
    Regardless what the MAS official says to the public, they will be bullied (not criticized, but bullied) no matter what reason is given

    I've just posted that LCW playing Purple League (starting this week) and also LCW was registered in Malaysia Masters as well.

    The previous statement from LCW also mentioning that LCW will skip Dubai SSF and will have a holiday with his family then he changes his mind then joining Dubai SSF.

    I think LCW will play Malaysia Masters and skip Indonesian Masters (as he had already withdrawn on 13th December).

    Don't blame me, I am just saying because that is the mentality of MAS fan; they have high standard.

    oyeah, sorry to miss that

    However, it means that LCW really basically has no holiday now. It was only at the beginning of Dubai SSF that he mentioned to have 2 months holiday. I was doubting that he will join the Purple League and MAS Masters actually. But, lets see

    LCW in 35 yo is better than most of Past Players in their 35 yo. He is a great player.
