Well.. Shon is a good player.. after all he is the Olympic silver medalist... dont look down on him everyone has their ups and down.. u win some u lose some..
Agree ! I agree. 6-star tournament, zero star service. IBF got to know this is the cyber age, whilst there may be 8,000 packed in to see the finals, another 800,000 world wide may want to see the result. Are you hearing us, Datuk Gunalan !!
Lee Tsuen Seng current state Lee Tsuen Seng had 2 WO before meeting Park Sung Hwan who beat 2 players before Lee. One of them was Sony. But sadly Lee TS still lost. BAM must seriously consider to 'overhaul' this player before sending him for more tournament.
HKBA Letter Hi Guys, This is what I wrote. Hope its not too harsh but we have to keep them honest. If you do not know the meaning of embarrassment, you are not human 6-star fiasco, this is what it is 2005 HK Open. When we log onto the IBF web-site which says "Click here for latest result?" what do we get, yes, about blanks , and I mean that must be what's inside your head !! Shuttlecock King
I think BAM still keep maybe they feel Lee Tsuen Seng still young. He had a good performance during at 7 points system. That time he beat the good players like Chen Hong .... . BAM may see Tsuen Seng's performance after the system shift to 21 points. Shairul had bad attitute, that's why BAM kicked him out from National Team. He should change his attitute before they accept him.
