Lee Chong Wei nets 9th Malaysia Open title

Lee Chong Wei hardly broke a sweat when he defeated Indonesia's Sony Dwi Kuncoro 21-7, 21-8 to win his ninth Malaysia Open title and his second title of the year after netting the Korea Open last week.


Mixed doubles pair Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying made accompanied Chong Wei to the final but lost 21-13, 21-18 to Danish pair Joachim Fischer Nielsen-Christinna Pedersen.

Chong Wei's win was expected.

And what else was expected? The fact that no other Malaysian was named champion.

Sigh.

    LCW might be a great badminton player that Malaysia ever produced, but then again we also must not forget how miserable was he when facing Lin Dan in London Olympics?

    Imagine, leading the third game 19-17(decider)but squandering it with poor mental skills. At that point, urgency did not prevail where its supposed to be.

    Playing base and net was the most stupid tactic used by LCW at that point of time.

    At the Olympic, LCW not only let the Malaysian down, he also put himself down by his mental incompetency when mattered most.

    So, for me, LCW is not amongst the great player as portrait otherwise by many. No W-cup medal no Olympic gold when u had the chance which comes to shows that LCW is not that greatlah!

    No w-cup no Olympic gold equivalent to; happy retirement soon...!

      Ayo yo bro,

      At that moment of time(19-17) speed, power, jumping or pace was not the argument. LCW failed in his mental skills to finish off Lin Dan

      All LCW needed was two points but Lin Dan gave LCW the humble pie plus take-away with four "mountain-ness" points.


      what say you?

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak

Ramlan saga - Part 3

UPDATE (May 23, 2012: 12.06pm): Dilema JKR, 'dua' ketua pengarah - this was brought to my attention. Read here for more. ----- I first wrote about the effort to remove National Sports Institute director general Dr Ramlan Aziz in March - as seen here . Then I wrote about the same subject again early May . I was invited to be a guest for this week's Kafe Sukan but had to decline as the recording was done on Sunday - the same day I left the country. Apparently Ramlan's predicament was discussed. Despite receiving numerous SMS-es - for and against what was discussed - I will refrain from commenting as I have yet to view the show. I have also been told there are efforts to get certain people to replace Ramlan. To me that is secondary. I have still not obtained the answers to these questions; 1. According to the NSI Act, only the minister can hire or fire the director general. Has the minister issued such a directive? 2. According to the country's Lab
