...er, OK, I'll go first then. They won MD in the Bitburger GPG on Sunday
in confident style. Look forward to seeing more of them.

as a second MAS pair which will be helpful in upcoming Thomas Cup...
TKS plays like KKK at the forecourt, with good racket skill and deceptive trickshot. OYS has a killer smash like TBH, the ability to execute powerful acute angle attack from baseline. Together they make a great combination and was very entertaining to watch. They beat England no. 1 pair in the first round of China Open, and almost beat 2nd seed from China Li/Liu today. I have a good feeling this pair will make top ten rank in near future, but they need to be more consistent, learn to maintain their concentration at the crucial points and improve on their game strategy. They are also brilliant with their fast exchange.
however they need to be play like INA's Fajar/Rian, as this pair having good smashes and defences, and they almost beat Marcus/Kevin in AG finals...

Yup, my point being Ong Yew Sin does not have a good smash to end the rally or force a loose return, which is why the coaches decided to drop him for the TC and get Aaron Chia instead, who has a powerful smash.
The first time I saw Gideon and Kevin, they were small and skinny, and they lost out to the tall Danish in early round of all England. But they were feisty and brave. Fast forward one year later they came back and won the championship. OYS/TEY are still young and improving, a good coach can set them up in the right direction. I'm hoping rexy mainaky will take up the job.
but the indonesia training methods are better than malaysia's, thus they are able to produce many potential and strong players that can win many championships, while malaysia's never had...
