Haha..bad habits are passed on easily..yo-yo performance one of them..KKK-TBH seems to catching the yo-yo flu now
HH was sent to the 2010 Hong Kong Open SS because he is still the MAS No.2 . HH was sent to the 2010 Hong Kong Open SS because HH is still the MAS No.2 (second best MS player for Malaysia) and World No.21. Can you imagine what will happen if MAS sent their No.3, 4, 5,...? .
Liew Daren HAS beaten Wang Zhengming before . True. If BAM knew that Daren Liew was to face Wang Zhengming, then perhaps BAM would send DL. But entries of players have to be submitted before the draw. .
Winning at tournaments and gaining BWF points for World Rankings . Oh I see. It goes back to winning at tournaments and gaining BWF points for World Rankings. Hope that Liew Daren can perform better at GP Gold, GP, and lower tournaments; so that he can gain entry straight into future SS tournaments. .
Taking things for granted is what seems to happen to some Malaysian players. No doubt HH does not really serve his purpose in representing the country but the catch is that he still reign supreme in the singles department after LCW. Its human nature to slack but what control the human (players) is the badminton association (the system) and once again it shows that BAM's system is in quite a bad state. Even after so many years it still remain like this something must be very wrong somewhere. BAM needed a revamp but I doubt it would happen at least in the near future.
Selecting players for tournaments . Well said. When sending to tough competition, the selection should be according to the players' rankings. When sending for friendlies and/or 'trying out' tournaments. then perhaps lower ranked players be selected. .
Monday January 17, 2011 The STAR Chong Wei, Hafiz ready for the challenge from full-strength China squad By RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The presence of players from China do not strike fear on the Malaysians. Yesterday, the country’s top two men’s singles players, Lee Chong Wei and Mohd Hafiz Hashim, welcomed the challenge of the Chinese in the US$400,000 Malaysia Open, which begins tomorrow with the qualifying tournament at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalail. China have their full cast in the men’s singles event and the participation of Lin Dan, Chen Long, Bao Chunlai, Chen Jin and Du Pengyu will be a treat to the fans in the season-opening Super Series circuit. Top seed and defending champion Chong Wei said that the more the merrier on the impressive line-up China would parade in the Malaysia Open. Daddy’s busy: Mohamad Hafiz Hashim and daugther Hanna Sofilea after a training session to prepare for the Malaysia Open at the Bukit Jalil Stadium Sunday. — GLENN GUAN / The Star “The China stars have been missing from the Malaysia Open for the last few edition. Their presence certainly does a world of good to the tournament,” he said. “This year’s tournament offers lucrative prize money and it will be very competitive. It will certainly mean more to win it this time.” On the presence of world champion Lin Dan, Chong Wei said that he would stay focused on the task, whoever is his opponent. The last time Chong Wei played at home against Lin Dan was in the Thomas Cup semi-final tie in May last year and he suffered a thrashing by the Chinese superstar. “I choose not to be affected by what people say about my previous encounters with Lin Dan. The most important thing is to stay focused from within. I promise to give my best,” said Chong Wei, who was also beaten by Lin Dan in the final at the Guangzhou Asian Games last November. Chong Wei, who retained the Super Series Masters Finals crown on Jan 9, is in the same quarter as Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam and Japanese Sho Sasaki and Kazushi Yamada. If he makes the semi-finals, he is expected to play against Lin Dan. Hafiz is determined to clear his opening round match on Wednesday against Chen Long. “It is an unkind draw but one that I am not too worried about. Chen Long lost to Peter Gade Christensen (of Denmark) in the recent Masters Finals. I have beaten him once at the India Open (2009),” he said. In the same quarter as Hafiz and Chen Long are Lin Dan, Malaysian veteran Wong Choong Hann and England’s Rajiv Ouseph. The other half of the draw has second seed Taufik Hidayat and his Indonesian compatriots Sony Dwi Kuncoro, Simon Santoso and Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka; China’s Chen Jin, Chunlai and Pengyu; South Korea’s Park Sung-hwan and Shon Wan-ho; and Thailand’s Boonsak Ponsana.
Chen Long isn't half as talented as Hafiz. If Hafiz were half as determine and confident as Chen Long, Hafiz would be walking over Chen Long as LCW would.
Hafiz the coolest player on the circuit... he can take DEFEAT like a man... fall down & stand up again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again &

The trouble is HH is such a relaxed player...... . The trouble is HH is such a relaxed player, as we have always witnessed. He is always showing us as though he is not determined to win; although deep in his heart he wanted to do his best to win. .
His fav song is Leslie Cheung's "Stand UP" . No, HH prefers this song; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E2hYDIFDIU .
