China Open Super Series - the rise of Choong Hann!!
It certainly proves that you have been working hard and smart to make into the finals of the China Masters Open Super Series. No matter how difficult the injury you had last year, I believe it's the determination which brings you to where you are now. Other younger players are STILL not consistent, they are STILL not ready to take over you. It has been almost a decade since you made yourself a name in the 1998 Commonwealth Games, and you can STILL shoulder the responsibility of carrying Malaysia's name. I'd rather have you play for the country's team event than having Hafiz Hashim, Roslin Hashim, or even Kuan Beng Hong destroying our dreams.
You rose. You outclassed Chen Hong, you defeated Sony Dwi Kuncoro, you eliminated Kenneth Jonassen. These three are definitely no easy players for you. But you did it. It's the victory over well-named players which Malaysians always want to listen to.
Well done, Chong Wei. I still have not forgotten about you.
You defeated Taufik Hidayat. We're all still proud of you for your achievement. In the Sudirman cup, you totally destroyed China's clean sweep of 5-0. Having you to beat Lin Dan was a joy to your fans.
This blog entry is specially for both Choong Hann and Chong Wei because they defeated big names. I'm still going to be harsh on Tan Bin Shen/Ong Soon Hock despite reaching the semifinals due to their opponents they faced. It's not that their opponents were looked down by me, but to get praised and earn headlines from the newspapers, they have got to really create upsets! I really hope they do.
Buzzing Bambee's player of the week : WONG CHOONG HANN!!

what's up Ng Brothers?
Are you both thinking that you're so important that Malaysia can't risk losing you both in gymnast?
Go ahead. Quit. It's not that getting silver medal in the Commonwealth Games is really something to show off. It's not that getting strings of gold medals in the SEA Games is something to be proud of - no high quality gymnast to compete with you. It's not that we're all so convinced that you both are going to get medals in the Olympic Games.
Not until your assy attitude changes.
Extracted from the star:
The NSC director general, Datuk Zolkples Embong, was disappointed, especially with Shu Wai for ignoring all efforts made to get in touch with him since he went AWOL.
“His coach (Pavel Todorov) alerted us on his absence. The coach and our officials tried to get in touch with him but he showed disrespect by ignoring all our attempts,” said Zolkples.
“The coach even went to his house. Shu Wai and his brother were reluctant to see him. They told Pavel that they wanted to quit the sport because of personal problems.
“We have accommodated so many of Shu Wai's requests. We gave him the best coaches, sent him for training stints in China and now he has done this. We do not want this type of athletes in our programme. We prefer to train younger ones who are disciplined and hungry for success.”The NSC spent US$4,650 a month on Shu Wai alone for his more than two years in China at their national training centre in Beijing.
Zolkples said that they would give Shu Wai one more chance to realise his Olympic dream.
“The show cause letter will be sent to him tomorrow. We will welcome him back but we will no longer tolerate such behaviour,” he added.
Both Todorov and the MGF hoped that Shu Wai would come to his senses and return to the fold.
Said the Bulgarian: “I believe in giving athletes a second chance. I want to reach out to Shu Wai and Shu Mun.
“I want them to know that whatever the problems or how severe they may appear, they will always have our love and support. There is always a hope and if there is a will, the situation can be resolved. This is not only their dream but also the Malaysian dream.” MGF president Datuk Dr Zakaria Ahmad urged Shu Wai to not waste his talent.
“Pavel has plans for him to even break among the top three in the upcoming world meet. He can make it. I am just so disappointed at this moment that he has chosen to throw all that away.”
Aren't you a little tired over indisciplined of them? Remember the havoc he created with his former Chinese coach, Zhang Jun? He won that battle. The NSC granted him whatever he wished for.
What a fool, Shu Wai!
Unless a good explaination is given for the absence and why you are quitting, no one else is going to have faith in you in future.
We're fed up with the ugly attitudes already!
