Let us all admit it...Malaysia is and will be 2nd fiddle to China in Badminton if the powers to be in badminton keeps up in pushing our players in entering them in all possible games (for their ranking).
ReplyDeletePlease be wise and follow the chinese and see how their manage to be the best when they play so much fewer games than us, Malaysians.
Don't be kiasu and become 'si' to the chinese when it matters.
