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...!

If have LD in badminton..same as Ronaldinho in football..(look at personal individual character) LCW already amongs in world class player..

      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?

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won. Read more in today's Mailsport. As expected members of the Press - even those not from the Sports Desk - had numerous questions for Kim Swee. Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

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...
