Malaysia's only hope to have its first world title at the Badminton World Championship dashed as the World No. 1 men's doubles lost to China's Chai Yun Fu-Haifeng in a three sets match 21-18, 18-21, 14-21.
Tough luck lads, but you did great. Didn't go down easily, you guys played, hanged on there till the end. For that, thank you and I'm proud of you.
Amidst all the political strains and racial disharmony happening in Malaysia in this very Bulan Kemerdekaan, a win at the World Championship could probably get our minds off those ugly things. And for once, we could have all been united, felt proud of our men's double's achievement.
Nevertheless, whether they won or not, we still should be proud of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong for their passions, fights and also semangat Malaysia Boleh they had shown throughout the tournament. They did lose the first sets in some games but came back to win and advance to the next round. They never gave up. And they will never.
Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong Boleh! Malaysia Boleh!
hehehehe
