Taufik Hidayat (?) Rijal/vita Nova/Lilyana natsir GUNAWAN Hendra Aprida/RIYADI Joko anymore withdrawal??
Msia young MD : Razif/TWK Young XD & WD Players : Ng Hui Lin, Woon Khe Wei, Lim Khim Wah, Chong Sook Chin. In doubles dept, Msia will only be represented by KKK/TBH, Fuzzy pair, WPT/CEH. They are withdrawn from both Denmark & French SS, according to Utusan M, due to budget constraints. For Razif/Wee Kiong, addition reason is they have participated in 3 straight tourneys recently, Rexy wants them to take a tourney break & hone their skills for China & HK SS. Oh yeah, Rexy is also not going to Europe (same like last yr), he's training the other pairs at home. http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2008&dt=1010&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Sukan&pg=su_02.htm http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Friday/Sport/2371143/Article/pppull_index_html

There is so many international tournys at GP Level around Asia, send the juniors there is a better options instead of going to Europe. All juniors must proove themselves in GP Gold before Going for SS... Take CWF as example...
Lydia Cheah & Julia Wong are runner-ups of GP Gold recently but they're not sent either. Their getting runner up without top players is not the issue, it's not their fault those players decided to withdraw, same as we cant look at Zhou Mi winning those titles as "top players not there". This is considered a break-thru in our WS, since bf this pretty hard for them even to get into semis. Lydia is low in WR, but Julia should be able to get into main draw. Budget constraint is the official reason as stated in Utusan. And seniors over juniors, sthing that Rashid has complained abt before.
I dunno whether I should be glad or sad to know that PBSI is not the only one infected by low budget virus.
