It's Kim Her, NOT Chong Wei whom brought Malaysia down

Yesterday, Malaysia lost their final group match against Denmark (2-3). When, most people voiced, if Datuk Lee won, Malaysia would have became group champions and could have avoided China.

In actual fact, even when the 1st singles lost, the other two singles, Daren Liew and Hafiz Hashim lift up to their expectation to win their matches. However, for the doubles, only if our pairs were field as it is, we would have had a chance through the 1st doubles to steal the crucial point.

The doubles coach, Kim Her has stratch the pair to Tan Boon Heong-Hoon Thien How and Koo Kien Keat-Goh V Shem failed miserably to turn the tables on Denmark’s Mathias Boe-Carsten Mogensen and scratch pair Jonas Rasmussen-Joachim Fischer Nielsen.


Actually, Malaysia blundered even before the start of competition when they listed Kien Keat-V-Shem as the top pair ahead of Boon Heong-Thien How. The referee overturned the request because the combination of Thien How-Boon Heong are placed higher than Kien Keat-V Shem under the national rankings.

Now, this leaves us with 2nd place in group and we are facing host and defending champion, China tomorrow.
