Proton Malaysia Open

The Badminton Open hosted by Proton, Malaysia while dominated by China in all the events, at least Malaysia won something in the mens single. Our last shuttler standing, Datuk Lee Chong Wei had an easy win against Indonesia's Taufik Hidayat in the finals. This marks the end of the week long event.

I was quite disappointed with our mens doubles world number one; Koo Kien Keat- Tan Boon Heong who couldn't even reach the semis and got knocked out so early in the event.

I was also bumped out when Lin Dan withdrew due to a back injury in the quarter finals. It would be quite interesting then to see him play against Lee Chong Wei. But in the end, our Malaysian shuttler managed to beat his Indonesian good friend and retained his title.

It was fun actually seeing both of them playing nice and hugging each other after the match and how Taufik pushed him away from the podium playfully. It would be a different picture between Lin Dan and him playing because Lin Dan's tactics are mostly psychological and can safely say they are not good friends LOL

So it was a good sportsmanship portrayed!
Congrats again to Lee Chong Wei!! =)
