A 100th AE title is more prestigious than Olympic gold? I don't think so, it might beat Olympic Silver though.
Coach Misbun Sidek has described Lee Chong Wei's Yonex All England title as more prestigious than winning an Olympic gold medal.
"You are talking about a tournament that is 100 years old...a tournament that every player wants to win and be known as a All England champion. It is all the more prestigious than winning an Olympic gold medal," said Misbun.

What do you guys think about this statement?
I honestly think that Misbun Sidek is a joker and he is no more than a 鄉下佬(uneducated villager). The more he talks in front of the media, the more he embarasses himself.
Please don't insult him like that. It's not nice, despite of what he says to the media. It is his personal opinion, actually. If you think Misbun Sidek is an uneducated villager, it is your personal opinion too and I accept that but don't insult him here.![]()
Malaysia reward to a olympic gold medalist is RM1 million, even a sliver get RM 300k, how much does Malaysia reward AE champion?
The fate of badminton in Olympic still hang in balance...we do not know whether
it will remained as participating events in the next few edition or not...we as fans view Olympic as the greatest of them all...but the organiser might not....:crying::crying::crying::crying:

All-England prize money is USD200,000 if I am not mistaken.
Sklee was not talking about the prize money, there is no prize money awarded by the olympics but most countries will reward their athletes who win medals.
Money can be had in various ways, sponsors, prize money...e tc. but to have an olympic gold medal to display is worth a lot more IMO.
if dat lee chongwei chap wins the olympics in 2012,i wonder what dat miscbun chap is gonna say then?
of this is my opinion. What misbun had said showed that he sees no hope of lcw of winning the 2012 OG gold, so he is hyping up the AE as better than OG gold title.

dollar wise maybe true if misbun correlate dollars to prestigeI'm trying to say that AE title, which is worth USD200,000 might be better than an OG silver which is RM300k, although ultimately it is still inferior to the gold medal.
