Look a cut above their rivals in the Thomas Cup qualifying round which begins in Ho Chi Minh City today, so anything other than a place in the final will be deemed a failure. Malaysia, the top seeds, have listed their best squad save for young Arif Latif, who is being given a chance to gain experience and exposure as a singles reserve, and everything points to a likely showdown against South Korea in Sunday's final.
Lee Chong Wei, Wong Choong Hann and Hafiz Hashim make up the singles line-up while the doubles will have Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, Choong Tan Fook-Lee Wan Wah with Zakry Latif-Fairuzizuan Tazari as reserves.
Four teams will qualify for the finals in Jakarta on May 11-18 and Malaysia should have little trouble being one of them. |

Badminton president Amelita “Ming” Ramos broke her silence yesterday and said the association did not sanction the three foreign players and two business executives, who are “playing for the country” in the ongoing US Orange County Badminton Championship. The former first lady said the association only gave its sanction to RP team member and the country’s highest-ranked player Kennevic Asuncion and former junior standout Irene Chui to carry the country’s colors in the prestigious tournament. |
