Malaysia is palying S Korea in badminton NOW.... Unfortunately, S Korea is leading 2-1. Now, second doubles is playing....:rolleyes:

Malaysian men's team was UNFORTUNATELY good only for a shared bronze leh! Look out for Kevin L (LET US HOPE FOR A NUMERO UNO FINALE OUT OF HIM!!) and Equestrian (Terengganu Sultan also taking part!) as well as Bowling - more from the Malaysians pleeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!! FYI Beh Shun Ting (M'sian Beach volleyballer) was a Nan Hwa skoolgal from Lumut leh!

aiseyy man, half the fleet OCSed at the first race with kevin finishing first! what a waste!!

and Kevin DNFed the 2nd race when he actualled finished 3rd in that race... sigh.. wonder what happened

for everyone else out there, OCS means that you had an On Course Start, means you crossed the starting line before the start signal, while DNF means u didn't finish the race. It is weird that they ruled it as a DNF because he actually DID finish the race. hmmmm

[KoChun]

Malaysia's badminton sucks big time.

I think we need to form back our team. What say you, Alka, AhBau, CaptainC???

[Anson F-Clef]

Can I be your manager?

SOKONG!!

However on a sadder note - Lee Chong Wei just got bundled out by Taufik H in the semis of the mens' singles competition - so NO MATCH WITH LIN DAN lerr...........................................

Anyway on a more positive note, K3 (KK Koo) and Tan Boon Heong are in the mens' doubles finals as underdogs against Alven & Luluk of Indonesia, so at least a PINGAT PERAK at hand :D

[Anson F-Clef]

STOP PRESS: Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong just clinched gold in the men's doubles badminton event - after a 36-year gold drought in Malaysia's Asian Games badminton history ~ woohoohoohoohoohoohoo! M'sia are 4 golds up to this day.............nearing the target of 7 golds at least ~ MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

[alfred98]

Yah yah they are millionaire liao!! No???:blink:

[Anson F-Clef]

Hmmm ~ what about Esther Cheah huh? If she gets another GOLD thru' the Ladies' Masters jia.......:D

Looks like Esther C has got a Han Kok (Korean) gal - a ONE-TWO Showdown indeed!!!

BTW Noraseela Khalid got M'sia a credible BRONZE for her 400m hurdles feat :D

Esther lost first game by 37 pins la... At one point she did very well to close the 20pins gap and lost it again at the final stretch. How to recover in second game?

Do you know there is another bowler representign another country was produced by Malaysia. To be exact she used to bowl in Mirama and Asiajaya.

[Anson F-Clef]

N3R4K0ng!!!!!! :mad: I personally think Pakistan and Japan DELIBERATELY played to a SCORELESS DRAW in the men's hockey (AT MALAYSIA's OWN EXPENSE!!!) - well if one of them loses, sure get bundled out of the semifinals lah!

However, our takraw regu went down with more guts this time in the regu event - losing two NARROW sets to the Thais..........still got takraw DOUBLES for our men - so the rout is not complete as yet.......

[Big Chief]

What man, World Champion body builder cannot win Gold in Asian Games.

[justin hong]

Judges take Kopi wang ma. Both body builders with potential got the lest expected results.

[Big Chief]

Sepak Takraw also cannot win

Guys, I've noticed a trend in Malaysia's performance when it comes to sports like Asian Games, SEA games and whatever-you-call-it game held in KL recently. This trend has been like that for many many years.

If you guys notice, in terms of medal tally, Malaysia always collect the least gold, more silver and most bronze. The top teams (2-3 teams) always collect most gold, lesser silver and least bronze. Hmmm... why is that always the case?

I've got one conclusion (my own, could be wrong). I think we do not have the mentality to be champions, to be match winners. Either that or 2nd/3rd place is good enough for our atheletes.

Because or aim is to the get a medal...not the be a champion. That's why we are always second best!

And they are happy with that? Sad case, really.

To me, Nicol David is a true example of what a champion is made of, not even the 1992 Thomas Cup team.

Let's see where Kean Keat and Boon Heong goes from here. If you read Rexy's comment, he hoped the players remained humble, train harder and not big-headed. I think that's the damn problem with Malaysia sportsmen/sportswomen (men especially).

Kaoz, need consultant to specify, is it? :laugh:

Reminds me of my job.

Hey bro! Not just bodybuilding ~ mebbe gymnastics or even wushu, diving or the kata discipline of karate-do to name a few other examples...........!!!

Side track a bit.

Mohd Hafiz Hashim (former All England champion) said recently that he was very satisfied with his performance in the recent World Badminton Championship in Seville. Btw, he was knocked out in the quarter-final stage.

Satisfied with quarter-final appearance??? Sigh...

i tend to disagree. its the attitude of the sports officials. the atletes themselves has no such big headedness. just that the officials say gic them this, gic them that oni if they appear on tv endorsing this or that, and the force them to do promo tours for this official/politician and that thus taking time away from their precious training which is what they should be doing anyway but didn't.

top atletes in other countries even if got gold will get scolded for not breaking the record, and they go straight back to training after the competition! but in malaysia, if u go into quarter finals, they pat u on the back and say very very good liou, and gic u banglos lar, car lar, movie deals lar, adverts lar. look at alex yoong. a disgrace to f1 racing. and the atletes go for holiday somemore! wat is this!

[socka]

So Far:-

Hockey - dissapointing, Should not blame Japan & Pakistan. We played badly against HK (2-1).:mad:

Football - need I say more, always dissapointing.:mad:

Badminton - should have made the finals. In the past beating Korea was never an issue.

Bowling - great.

Cycling - Josiah Ng looks good. Broke games record this morning in sprint qualifying.

Sailing - Guaranteed gold in girl's Optimist. Hard luck for Kevin.

It's the attitude.
We are just not hungry enough.
We want everything to be put on the silver platter.

Did you watch his performance against the Chinese?
He was leading 19-12 in the 1st set. In the new format (21 points), it's quite impossible to lose that game.
He fumbled big time. Lost the 1st set 20-22. :mad:

The whole concept of getting ministers, president of associations who do not know a single thing about the sport. How far can sports in Malaysia go..?
If you notice, the ones are doing well (to Malaysian standards) are the ones lead by people who excelled in the game.
For example, in Tennis, the former presidents do not even know the scoring systems of the game... :mad:
They are there only for personal agendas and fame.

With due respect, Alex Yoong is the best driver Malaysia could produce and he's doing the nation proud in the A1 GP.
Formula 1 is a different cup of tea.

Alex Yoong is not the best driver Malaysia could produce. He got to where he is because of "connections". There are plenty out there who easily beat Alex when he was still racing locally but because they had no connections and discriminated upon, our country is the one ultimately losing out. Karamjit is a very fine example.

With this, Nicol D's REVENGE has then been EXACTED!!! OK OK hear ye, hear ye: Thus far, Malaysia has FINALLY consolidated her medal collection by this:

EIGHT (8) Gold Medals
SEVENTEEN (17) Silver Medals
SEVENTEEN (17) Bronze Medals

since Ong Beng Hee shall square off with Azlan Iskandar for the DEAD-ON 8th AND FINAL GOLD medal or Malaysia. What would have been the NINTH GOLD at least would have been King Josiah Ng's event ~ keirin cycling.....:h:

Good wan, Alkabuskra ~ dun forget leh, ANOTHER typical mentality with Malaysian sports figures especially badminton ~ jaguh kampung mentality - DEPENDING TOOOOOOO MUCH ON HOME CROWD (psst..........hope KKK and Tan Boon Heong don't harbour this stupid attitude)!!

I don't think there's anything to be proud of besting singapore since they are just a tiny nation with a small population and considering their gold medal count is not bad either. they doing well. Malaysia suck all the way:sad-2:

China was the overall champion and won 165 gold medals. Their target was 150 gold and they were not satisfy with their overall achievements.
