Kien Keat-Boon Heong lose again

END OF THE ROAD?: Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong could have played their last match for Malaysia. Picture by MOHD HELMI DAWI/sports247.myMalaysia suffered a huge blow in their opening fixture of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Sudirman Cup, when men’s doubles pair Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong  (pic) lost in straight games 21-18, 21-18 to Taiwan’s Lee Shen Mu-Tsai Chia Hsin.

 “We thought we would be in control, but we were proven wrong. They (Sheng Mu – Chia Hsin) were clearly stronger in front court, and their attacking was better,” a disappointed Kien Keat said after the match.

When questioned if they should play against Germany next, Boon Heong said “It depends on our coaches actually, I think the more confident pair should play.

“As for me, I think my confidence has dropped a little after this defeat.”

Outplayed? Outclassed? Isn't it high time for the BA of Malaysia (BAM) to do something about the pair? Or should we still keep them?

Is it true that even the coaching staff have given up on the world No 3 pair?

    Bro HD,

    Some months ago when this pair returned from the All England (after another disgraceful exit), birthday boy bawled that their physical condition was not up to the mark.He said that the hopeless pair will be put thru a rigorous training.

    Sekarang nasi sudah jadi bubur bro.....nothing will change la.
    Now they will say a new coach is needed to kick the shit out of this pair.In fact most of the world's top doubles coaches have long given up on this pair. Coaches who promise to improve this pair are a real lying lot.This pair has reached its pinnacle.They could have been up there a little longer but they ruined it by allowing victory and fame go into their heads.
    Cannot continue whipping dead horses.Let the other pairs gain exposure. Victories can be sporadic but the experience will be beneficial.

    Hope the new Minister keeps the files of BAM, FAM and Hockey within his easy reach (kalau boleh dekat drawer kanan) , these associations are always up to mischief, putting foot in mouth most times, always creating an unnecessary rise in the blood pressure for sports fans.

    Please Mr. Minister, help us fans stay healthy to cheer our teams.

    Cheers.
    Peminat SukanJB.

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
