The guy who killed the world no 1 in the Thomas Cup and to lead his team to Thomas Cup glory. Did the robot dance and striped his shirt in front of a stadium full of Malaysian supporters is actually freaking awesome. Check out how good he is with a badminton racket.
Sitting on the ugly spot of 147th in the Fifa World Ranking is nothing but a eye sore. Not when at one point Malaysia qualified for the Olympics and only 1 game away from qualifying for the 1982 Spain World Cup! (Bet you didn’t know that ha! Ill tell you all about that soon). Since then it has been all down hill for the faith of our national football thanks to various factors.
I got the chance to meet the cream of the crop that gave us something to cheer about till today when i was invited by @maxiscomms for a session with legends from our footballing past Santokh Singh, Dato’ Soh Chin Aun, Hassan Sani & King James for a very personal session. This 4 gentlemen have been appointed by Maxis as ambassadors for the Fifa world cup. Personally, its the best decision made by Maxis to bring the legends. together so Malaysians get a opportunity to understand what our past was made off,what made is tick and what made us so special. Hopefully that will rub off the current crop of players, coaches,management who hopefully get inspired and start making a real difference. (more…)
I had the opportunity to meet and interview the legends from our footballing past thanks to @maxiscomms . There was Santokh Singh, Dato’ Soh Chin Aun, Hassan Sani & King James who have been appointed by Maxis as their brand ambassadors in conjunction with their broadcast sponsorship of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Personally i have to applaud maxis for this appointment as th2 fab4 are the pinnacle of Malaysian football and the younger generation have a opportunity to see what Malaysian football has achieved.
Watch this space for my coverage and interpretation of what the legends had to say to some of the questions that was asked and their very honest opinions of the various topics.
And just like that our Thomas Cup journey is over. Thanks to the defeat to Japan, Malaysia got the hard tie of playing against China. I personally thought that if we could win our first 2 games, we may have a chance to progress to the finals. But China proved too strong for Malaysia and went on to bury Malaysia without dropping a SINGLE SET!
