Sack Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah

[Malaysianfan]

Well, i think that CCM did the right thing to attend the funeral. A friend from China said to me:''Just because his father dies and so he doesn't want to play??!'' which somehow irritated me. What did he mean by 'just'? I think those who have critised CCM for not being able to play in WC really owe him an apology. He himself must be very sad too after preparing for such a long time. Why we fans can't understand it while KKK can understand his situation?

Quite pity with CCM. Two times world junior champion and one time world junior mixed double champion but couldn't achieve high to justify his potential. First, always has to change his partner. second, the shoulder injury which really hampers him from his usual powerful smashes.third, alaway being the second fiddle. Actually he has contributed a lot to his partnership with KKK. KKK is not matured yet and it was CCM who calmed and advised him a lot and KKK admitted it too. Furthermore, during the match against the korean pair in thomas cup this year, those who watched the game and some newspaper said that KKK didn't play well but in the end, Yap Kim Hock and Rexy critised and blamed CCM for not playing well. I didn't watch the game and therefore i was confused by the situation and these two 'versions'.

Back to the topic of this thread, i was extremely disappointed with LWW/CTF too but i didn't forget their contributions to the country. wtihout them, our MD would not even make any impact in the badminton world for the last 10 years after the retirement of Soon Kit/Kim Hock.

I have wanted to say this for some time. Sometimes I find the language used by some of our BFers a little too strong a little less civil.

Take this thread title for example: "SACK .....' Imagine for once that you are CTF or LWW and you happen to read this post, what sort of feelings do you have?

After giving of your best for so many years for your country and for badminton, we have so-called badminton fans who give you no 'face' at all or who doesn't care about human feelings just because you happen to have a bad day which affected your results.

Please be more considerate, try to put yourself in the players' position, try to empathize with them, acknowledge that as human beings, we will have both good and bad days.

If you feel so strongly that they should go, choose a less emotive word such as "RETIRE" instead of 'SACK', which means "dismissed from employment".

Do our two 'veteran' players, who have served Malaysia well all these years, deserve this?

Totally agree with you. i really hope that CTF & LWW won't log on to this thread, they will be really really upset and dissapointed.
The word" SACK" shouldn't be used.
