I finally found the OG rules :
4. Substitutions
4.1. A player/pair may participate in an event of the Olympic Games Badminton Competition only
if the player's/pair's entry is made by the closing date for entries as established by the relevant
Olympic Games Organising Committee.
4.2. After the closing date for entries but before the draw is made, a player who has entered may
be unable to take part through illness, injury, or other unavoidable cause. That player's place
in singles or doubles or both can be taken by a player from the same NOC who has already
entered another Olympic Badminton event, provided the player or resulting pair would have
been the next to be invited following the withdrawal.
4.3. No changes or substitutions of any kind can be made to the draw after it has been made.

means registered for OG.
Ah 3 sets. That means KKK/TBH were indeed pretty "friendly" in that match. 
Yes, they won. 3 sets.

Badminton: Kien Keat out of Singapore Open
By Ajitpal Singh
2008/06/07
KOO Kien Keat has been ruled of next week's Singapore Open (June 10-15) after a freak accident at the National Sports Council (NSC) in Bukit Jalil on Thursday. In the 4pm incident, Kien Keat suffered deep cuts to his right hand and right upper thigh when a glass partition near the Jungle Gym shattered when he rested his hand against it.
The cut just below his right elbow needed 20 stitches. It is not known how many stitches the cut on his thigh needed. However, Kien Keat is not in any danger of missing August's Olympic Games as he is expected to be back in training in three weeks. The Singapore Open was to be Kien Keat and partner Tan Boon Heong's final outing before the Beijing assignment.
They are the second Malaysian pair to pull out from the event which is already experiencing a host of absentees of world class shuttlers. World No 4 Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah pulled out last week.
According to national doubles coach Rexy Mainaky, a scan on Kien Keat's injury revealed that the shuttler suffered a minor muscle tear in the right hand.
"It's not serious but I hope his wounds will not get infected as if they do, he will need more time to make a full recovery," said Rexy at Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara yesterday.
"However, I want to stress that he is in no danger of missing the Olympic Games. Kien Keat will start rehabilitation in the second half of next week," he added.
Meanwhile, Kien Keat, when contacted, said the incident was just bad luck.
"I can't do much about it. Doctors have advised me to take full rest and that's what I'm doing now," said Kien Keat.
National chief coach Yap Kim Hock said the ISN will conduct a comprehensive evaluation on Kien Keat's condition in 10 days.

The story differs slightly from one to another press as where the stitches are needed (hand, below elbow) but definetely it's right hand & right thigh as Huang described. KKK die hard fans will be anxious.

Err... quick question if anyone has any info. I noticed Jun Jae Youn (KOR) wasn't in the draw, implying she has not recovered sufficiently from her injury which kept her out of the UC. Does anyone know what her injury status is, and if she'll be ready for the INA SS. I assume her target is the OG, will she miss the remaining tournaments leading up to it. Anyone? Thanks

Look on the positive side. SO will have higher quality Finals because the finalists are likely to be fresher.
The biggest secret is Spore OG Team is joining them for special training after IO.Wonder if NTM will also join them.
SIN OG team joining the Koreans??
Except I don't read YOUR local papers
I have no reason to read your local papers just like you have none to read mine. We don't get badminton news in our local media so we welcome any we can get on BC. Why the condescending tone?
