Lu mau sokong Chong Wei atau Misbun dan Sharizat hulur duit...

Beliau cuba melandaskan dakwaan itu dengan membangkitkan mengenai sokongan oleh golongan tersebut ke atas pemain badminton tertentu.

"(Pemain negara, Datuk Lee) Chong Wei lawan (pemain China) Lin Dan adalah contoh naif untuk menzahirkan rasa cinta kepada Malaysia.

"Kedua-dua adalah Cina. Tentu kita menyokong Cina Malaysia daripada Cina China.

"Katakan, Chong Wei lawan (bekas pemain negara, Datuk) Misbun (Sidek) atau Lin Dan lawan (pemain Indonesia) Taufik Hidayat, ketika itu siapakah yang akan disokong?

"Justeru tidak perlulah berpura-pura mahu menunjukkan cintakan Malaysia tetapi mengundi ultra kiasu," katanya.

Mualaf itu berkata demikian bagi menjawab satu tulisan dalam satu akhbar berbahasa Inggering yang menurutnya menuduh beliau mengalami krisis identiti kerana sering mempertahankan golongan Melayu.

Ridhuan menjelaskan, pendiriannya sebelum ini dibuat kerana mempertahankan Islam.

"Sama ada setuju atau tidak, Islam sedang diancam, menjadi tanggungjawab kita untuk membelanya.

"Saya pernah jadi bukan Islam, saya tahu perancangan busuk segelintir mereka, walaupun mungkin sahabat seislam saya tidak bersetuju," katanya.



Chong Wei vs Misbun, who will they support...

Firebrand Ridhuan Tee Abdullah has served another salvo at Chinese Malaysians, this time using a badminton analogy.

According to him, using a singles bout between Lee Chong Wei and China's Lin Dan is a poor example to show how much Chinese Malaysians love this country.

"Both (players) are Chinese. Of course, we will support the Chinese Malaysian over the Chinese from China," said the academic in his column in Sinar Harian today.

The real test, according to Ridhuan, would be a match between Lee and Misbun Sidek or Lin Dan versus Misbun, or Lin Dan versus Indonesia's Taufik Hidayat.

"Who would they (Chinese Malaysians) support?" asked the academic, who teaches ethnic relations at the Malaysian Defence University.

"So there is no need to pretend in showing love for this nation, when they (Chinese Malaysians) vote the 'ultra kiasu' party," he added in reference to DAP.

Ridhuan, a Chinese Muslim convert, also responded to an article in an English daily that accused him of suffering from an identity crisis because he constantly defends the Malays.

Denying that he has an identity crisis, the academic said he was defending Islam.

"Whether you agree or not, Islam is under threat, and it is our responsibility to defend it.

"I was once a non-Muslim, and I know of the foul plan by a group of them.

"Even if some of my Muslim friends disagree with this, I respect the differences in opinion," he added.- mk





Ibu tunggal: Shahrizat beri RM500, lampin.(Widow: Shahrizat gave cash, diapers for vote)...

Seorang ibu tunggal di Teluk Intan mendakwa Ketua Wanita Umno Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil melawatnya pagi tadi dan memberikan bantuan berupa wang tunai dan barangan keperluan sambil merayu sokongan terhadap BN.

“Saya diberi RM500 dan pampers (lampin), untuk kegunaan anak perempuan saya,” katanya kepada Malaysiakini, sambil berterima kasih terhadap Shahrizat dan BN atas hadiah itu.

Penganggur 57 tahun itu berkata, Shahrizat memintanya mengundi calon BN Mah Siew Keong.

P Panjalay menetap di Taman Semarak dan menjaga tiga anak perempuannya yang berumur antara 33 hingga 36 tahun yang mempunyai masalah mental.

Shahrizat meluangkan masa kira-kira 20 minit di rumahnya pagi ini.

Panjalay berkata, Shahrizat menyerahkan wang kepadanya tetapi beliau tidak pasti sama ada ia datang daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat atau Umno.

Tanpa mengambil kira sumbangan ini, beliau bagaimanapun berkata sentiasa menjadi penyokong BN.


A single mother in Teluk Intan claims Umno Wanita chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil visited her house this morning with cash and supplies, canvassing support for BN.

"I was given RM500 and Pampers (disposable diapers), for my daughters' usage," she told Malaysiakini, expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Shahrizat and BN for the gift.

The unemployed 57-year-old said Shahrizat urged her to vote for BN candidate Mah Siew Keong.

P Panjalay (right) lives in Taman Semarak and cares for her three mentally-disabled daughters aged 33 to 36.

Shahrizat paid her house a 20-minute visit this morning.

The widow said Shahrizat handed her the cash, but she was unsure if the money came from the Welfare Department or Umno.

Shahrizat, who is also the special adviser to the prime minister on welfare and women affairs, had scheduled to visit two families in Teluk Intan.

Apart from Panjalay, she also visited a family at Jalan Mat Intan that has just lost an elderly family member, and later attended a religious function at Taman Intan.

Regardless, she said regardless of the handouts, she has always been a BN supporter.

"I will support BN anyway. I have never voted for the opposition. I will bring my second daughter to vote too. Both of us will vote for BN," Panjalay said.- mk



Piala Thomas: Anak Malaysia disebalik kejayaan Jepun...

Disebalik kejayaan pasukan Jepun merangkul kejuaraan Piala Thomas semalam, ramai yang tidak mengetahui tentang salah seorang jurulatih pasukan negara matahari terbit itu adalah anak Malaysia.

Nama Izuan Ibrahim(gambar di atas), tidak sepopular nama besar lain dalam arena sukan badminton, namun sentuhan beliau antara penyumbang kepada kejayaan Jepun semalam.
Anak kelahiran Kelantan ini adalah jurulatih kepada pemain persorangan Jepun, Kento Momota yang menewaskan pemain negara Chong Wei Feng dengan straight set 21-15, 21-17.

Bekas guru ini sekarang berkhidmat sebagai jurulatih junior pasukan kebangsaan Jepun di bawah Nihong Badminton Association dan jurulatih di R.S. Hamanaka.

Kejayaan Jepun buat kali pertama semalam sekaligus menaikkan nama Izuan yang lebih mesra dengan panggilan Abe Awe di kalangan rakan-rakan beliau di Kelantan.

Laman Facebook beliau turut dihujani ucapan tahniah daripada kawan-kawan yang mengenali anak Melayu ini.

Dalam perlawanan semalam, Jepun mencipta sejarah dengan merangkul gelaran Piala Thomas pertama mereka apabila menewaskan Malaysia 3-2 dalam perlawanan penuh dramatik. -

2014 Thomas Cup Victory - Japan beat Malaysia 3-2

Japan, The New Thomas Cup Champion. How Long Malaysia Has To Wait...

Japan finally wins their first ever Thomas Cup, after 12 appearances in the prestigious badminton competition, ever since the cup was introduced by Sir George Alan Thomas in 1949. Japan becomes the fourth nation to win Thomas Cup, of which Malaysia, Indonesia and China were the only countries that dominated the sport since 1949. It was the sweetest win for Japan indeed.

If Malaysia were to win the cup last night, I can bet my last penny that PM Najib would declare today as a public holiday, judging by how the premier (and his “lovely wife”) love to be in the spotlight. Too bad Malaysia couldn’t do any better since 1992 when they lifted the cup after a 25-year wait (the last time the country won was in 1967).

Perhaps Malaysia is cursed by the number 25 and can only win after 25 years, meaning the next chance will be in 2018, a 26 years of wait. But many would curse Auntie Rosy as a jinx. And as long as Auntie Rosy is around, the curse will be on the country’s badminton team. Maybe they should try to persuade Auntie Rosy to hug each and every player, before any major tournament (*grin*).

Rambut ori Bik Mama


While the bad news was that I couldn’t enjoy an extra holiday today (*sigh*), I won a free breakfast this morning, for betting against Malaysia team. There were four reasons why my bet went to Japan. First, their head coach was Park Joo-bong

Second, the game was held in India. Third, Malaysian badminton players were never consistent. Fourth, Malaysian sports were heavily influenced by politics.

There’re two badminton players who I admire the most – Morten Frost and Park Joo-bong. Morten Frost, former Denmark single player, was easily the most consistent and cool badminton champion ever. He couldn’t be intimidated under any pressures and played beautiful stroke games till you lose your rhythm. Park Joo-bong was easily the best men’s double players not only in South Korea but also the world.


Denmark Morten Frost

The fact that Japan, under coach Park Joo-bong, managed to beat China 3-0 should have sent signal to Malaysian team that they’re facing a team stronger than Great Wall of China. And if Japan can beat a five consecutive Thomas Cup champion China (2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012) during the semifinals, the writing was already on the wall – Japan is at their strongest level never seen before.

Since 1967 when Malaysia won their Thomas Cup, the badminton team was not the same again. It could be that the effect of 1969 racial riots had slowly spread its tentacles into the country’s sports. Somehow the nation’s badminton team couldn’t find its past glory of self-confidence and fight-for-country thingy, just like how they did it in 1949, 1952, 1955 (later 1967).


Badminton Thomas Cup Results - 1949 to 1982

If there’s a chance of winning the Thomas Cup, the venue has to be in the country, not anywhere else. Somehow, Malaysian badminton players depend heavily on local supporters, as if their cheers act like steroid to them. And because this game was in India, the steroids couldn’t do the magic. During 1992 Thomas Cup which was held in Malaysia, local supporters were literally at “all hell breaks loose” level in the stadium.

Like it or not, Malaysian badminton players were never consistent when play at a team level such as the Thomas Cup. Sure, for individual championship, you can rely on Lee Chong Wei alone. But they’re as unpredictable as lottery game when come to team championship. In 1992 Thomas Cup, when you expected Razif-Jalani Sidek doubles to deliver easily, they went down tamely.

But when you thought all was lost, underdog player Foo Kok Keong delivered the crucial point. As if injected by cocaine, double players Cheah Soon Kit and Soo Beng Kiang went on to whack Ricky Subagja and Rexy Mainaky. And the rest was history. Soon these heroes became instant millionaires with free cash, houses, lands and whatnot. In short, Malaysian players were never consistent.

This was proven again last night, when Daren Liew made too many mistakes, obviously under pressures. Takuma Ueda didn’t do anything spectacular. It was Daren who delivered free points to Takuma. Of course Kento Momota was the real hero who indirectly send huge pressures into Malaysian team. You may not like this but Lee Chong Wei glaringly outshone the rest of the players, and that was not a good thing especially for a tournament such as Thomas Cup.


Badminton Thomas Cup Results - 1984 to 2014

During the 1980s,1990s, 2000s, players play for money. No money no talk. It was a period where medals were measured with monetary rewards. Ministers who know nuts about badminton (and even other sports for that matter) would declare top dollars for certain amount of medals or championships. It was a trading market where free flows of money were used to “force” sportsmen and sportswomen to perform.

If that was not enough to send sports down the toilet bowl, politicians and cronies were appointed to the chairmanship, directorship, spaceship (*grin*) in practically all associations, never mind these idiots can’t even spell “badminton” correctly. They blew their own trumpets by offering “expertise” which further confused the already tumbling quality in sports, not to mention elbowing coaches who didn’t want to play ball.

Amusingly, despite millions of dollars spent, there was no Uber Cup, let alone Thomas Cup. What you have were TV presenters holding Thomas Cup replica screaming, hoping and praying for miracles. To be fair, badminton is perhaps the only sport least tainted by politicians’ influence, as compared to soccer. The opportunity to lift the Thomas Cup still exist, but only by doing the right things.


Malaysia 1967 Thomas Cup Victory - Celebration Procession

Sports should be separated from politics. Period. Let the best brains and meritocracy prevails in sports. Yesterday was the only peaceful day where all Malaysians, regardless of race and religion, cheers for Malaysian badminton team. So, perhaps PM Najib should lecture his out-sourced racist agencies that “trespasser” Chinese communities do contribute to the country after all. And please get Auntie Rosy not to be bias – hugs and kisses for all players, not only for Lee Chong Wei (*tongue-in-cheek*).-financetwitter.com
