The national badminton doubles pair had just won the All-England title recently. Continuing with their winning streak, Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong, our heroes, had won another major badminton tournament on Sunday, the Swiss Open.
I really hope the duo will maintain their high fighting spirits to win more tournaments in the future for the sake of our national pride. Malaysia Boleh!

At last, the 25-year drought in Malaysian badminton has ended when national doubles hotshots Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong ended China’s Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng domination at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham.

I just finished watching the news on television and the hot news in sport today is about David Beckham who was reported to be joining a United State’s club, LA Galaxy, for a whopping USD250 million over a five-year contract, or USD 50 million per year making him the highest paid sportman in the United State. Looking at how soccer had developed in America, I would say United State would emerge as one of the respected soccer teams in just a few short years to come, perhaps entering another World Cup Final again and possibly end up in the final.
