Yes, it is rude to boo at the opposition and we should not do this if we have some self-respect and equally would not like others to boo at us for making mistakes or scoring a good point in the badminton court. I hope as we interact more with others and show the better side in us, we could influence others to do more of the same. Less unkind words, less provocative action and more encouragement like clapping hands when both sides play a really good rally. Having said this, I'm sure the Indonesian supporters meant no harm and it is just their way of expressing their excitement and involvement in the game. As Indonesian workers work away from home with little to entertain themselves in the host country, a badminton match which they all love since young, will surely work ttheir emotions to the hilt, especially that which involves their own countrymen in action. In fact, players from some European countries love to play in Asia, particularly Indonesia, because they just love the lively atmosphere. Some Danish players have been reported expressing their delight playing in this part of the world. Just as we want some Indonesian spectators to understand us, we must also try to learn to understand them better. If you think Indonesians are the most expressive spectators, I think the Malaysians' chants of "Malaysia Boleh" by their supporters cannot be considered to fall too far behind, number for number, noise volume for noise volume. I have personal experience of both in different venues and I only wish that Singapore can produce as much vocal and gadget volume and action as our cheer team counterparts. But not resorting to vulgarism or gangsterism. So long as water bottles and other injury inflicting objects are not aimed and thrown at spectators and players alike; so long as camera flash lights are not purposely directed at the opposition to blind them momentarily; so long as any action is not aimed at destruction and body injury; so long as law and order is maintained, we should allow supporters to let loose their emotions and enjoy a good outing. After all badminton is entertainment!
Looks like WMC is going to meet Xu Haiwen in the quarterfinals as Xu is now leading 21-17, 17-4 ....... WCH is doing well so far ..... leading 15-9......
from my friend: the whole stadium, a lot of people shouting "wong choong hann! break chen jin's legs" omg cry..
i dont know yet.. what language they use.. anyway, not fair for chen jin!!! ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!! but chen jin's a stronger mental than that!!!
Ya.I wouldn't want the malaysian supporters to avenge their anger (against Li Yong Bo) on Chen Jin too. We shouldn't revenge and it is no a good attitude.
