Time out! Lets not get too frustrated...
-China - 2.2 billion pop
-India - 2.0 billion pop
-S Korea - 50 million pop
-Indonesia - 245 million pop
-Japan - 128 million pop
-Malaysia - 27 million pop
I miss this population thingie...CHN and INA 2.2 and 2.0...whoala, Only yesterday, I read it was 1.4 and 1.1, those fellas do multiply fast.
You said 'top ten' players, I must be mathematically challenged or must be missing something...besides your crybaby WR1, who are the rest of the Top 10?
On another note, BAM funding is RM20M annual, that equates to 0.74 cents per person....No country comes close to this amount of funding for badminton.
I think Malaysians are immune to this type arrogance/incompetence in public enterprise, helpless and most they can do is go to the nearest kopitiam and yap, yap and then balik home, tidor and next day, read the papers and yap, yap more. Frustrated is not the word, it is how sad to see public funds wasted and how so many promising WJC came and gone, their hopes and careers kaput by a bunch of clowns and that is indeed very sad. These youngsters, their parents and their coaches who groomed them are the true Malaysian badminton heroes and they got blasted for not performing well but at the same time, they weren't given the same type of opportunity and priviledge given to your crybaby WR1
