Dear Malaysia Bolehians,
I have not commented in the badminton forum for quite sometime. But I must say the Malaysia Boleh spirit amongst some Malaysians are unbelievable. I guess for a nation that consider making the world largest omellete and building the tallest flagpole as an achievement which the country can be proud of, it is no wonder whenever our shuttlers win some minor tournament we al start the drooling and day dreaming process again.
Look at KKK/TBH for example, and lets be honest. Lets ask ourselves what have they won this year??? What happened to them in the big tournaments i.e. All England & Beijing Olympics?? I also maintained that we need to have some standards and by that I mean setting standards that are high, not some jagoh kampong standards. For example, winning some local tournaments dont count.
No disrespect to this Super Series Master Finals but this tournament aint exactly high on the list. And KKK/TBH or even LCW winning this 'holiday' or 'bonus' event is not an indication that they are on the up again. But I guess some credit must be given to them for winning the big prize USD money. So, yes credit is given to them for winning but no, they are not on the up.
I maintain my stand that KKK/TBH are fluke shots. They are all flash and short of substance. LCW still dont impress me as a big tournament player. Our shuttlers pretty much have the village champion mindset. And I believe 2009 will be another poor year for KKK/TBH & LCW. I say they are not gonna win the AE and as for the super series events, I say they wont be able to win more than 1 for KKK/TBH and 2 for LCW. Any Malaysia Bolehians game for a side bet??
