星报认为大马男女团负于新加坡队是一种耻辱,谁叫我们的球员不争气呢? 女团表现还算过得去,男团的表现简直是惨不忍睹。

Shameful defeats for our shuttlers
THE Malaysian men's and women's badminton teams suffered humiliating defeats by Singapore in the semi-finals at the Vongchavalitkul University gymnasium in Korat yesterday.
The men's singles players Yeoh Kay Bin and Chan Kwong Beng were a letdown in their team's 1-3 defeat yesterday.
Kay Bin, who is ranked 21st in the world, failed to come good in his first major Games and was beaten 10-21, 13-21 by Kendrick Lee.
And to make it a miserable night for the team, one of the country's top doubles pair Gan Teik Chai-Lin Woon Fui hardly gave any fight in their 14-21, 13-21 defeat by Hendra Wijaya-Hendri Kurniawan Saputra.
Kuan Beng Hong pulled a point back when he blew away Ashton Chen 21-10, 21-5.
But national back-up player Kwong Beng, who had held a 19-17 lead in the first game, failed to save the tie for Malaysia when he crumbled under pressure losing 20-22, 12-21 to Derek Wong.
In the women's competition, Malaysia were banking on lanky Lydia Cheah to save the day after the Malaysians were tied at 2-2 with Singapore.
But the youngster, making her debut in the Games, went down 13-21, 21-18, 17-21 to China-born Ge Juan.
The first point yesterday came from Julia Wong, who got Malaysia off to a rousing start in the first singles with a hard-fought 21-15, 19-21, 21-16 over Xing Aiying.
After the failures by Anita Raj Kaur and Wong Pei Tty-Ng Hui Lin, the scratch combination of Goh Liu Ying-Woon Khe Wei levelled the tie with a 21-17, 21-19 win over Sari Shinta Mulia-Vanessa Neo Yu Yan.
Singapore will play against Indonesia in both the men's and women's team final today. |
