On a day when Malaysia had three finalists in the US$120,000 tournament, it was the World No. 1 women's doubles pair, Chin Ee Hui and Wong Pei Tty, who found the burden of carrying the nation's hopes a little too heavy to bear and were knocked out in straight games by an unknown pair from China.But there was Chong Wei of course and the World...

I was having a chat with Rev.Joe Marcose, it was a long conversation so much so the battery went dead. I have known Joe, for close to 12 years now..

Unlike some, who will even sell their soul for...

Close to 80 Individuals attended this two day session which was chaired by Datuk Che Mat Jusoh. A total of 15 resolutions was passed and presented to the EXCO two months later. So I dont understand what is Datuk Redzuan talking about.. can some one enlighten me, either the Sultan is misinformed or Redzuan is not aware of the decision or even the proposal given by the competitions committee. It is also learnt that the Malaysian...

Early this year I told a few people that North Korea and South Korea will be in 2010 World Cup. Some of my friends laughed at me and told me, that I must be joking. The story below explains everything about North Korea, their dedication , commitment and discipline of wanting to be in the World Cup. Let's forget about South Korea.. I think FAM must now learn from North Korea, national team should be training in North Korea, instead of China, Slovakia, Singapore and Indonesia. Maybe the Under-16 team should be placed in North Korea for 3 years. Why Not! They...
