Everyone’s a critique. I suppose that is what us Malaysian do best. It’s ok if you have achieved a certain standard in life on what you are talking about. That would make you an expert of your field. But who are you to trash talk athletes just because they lost a game? Does that help you to sell more copies? Recently I read in the news that Nicole lost the Malaysian Open. basically THIS IS NOT IT... there are several newspaper with 'catchy' headlines. but just to get the story in track here is the good one..
“ In a sensational climax of the women's CIMB KL Open at Berjaya Times Square in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur today (Saturday), Natalie Grainger of the USA stunned defending champion Nicol David in five games - thus ending the 17-month, 56-match, unbeaten WISPA World Tour run by the world number one from Malaysia “

So lets get the facts right, she won like 56 match within 17 months? That’s remarkable. We should be proud of her run. It helps Malaysian to be known of growing more indoor sporting champions (along side bowling, badminton, swimming, cycling and such). But they just can’t get enough out of it. Isn’t it enough for them to accept their defeat? But to bash them in the media and the general public too? And ask what happen after the game it self? Please be decent and considerate people. Further more they are still human. WE ALL HAVE OUR OFF DAYS..!
Like I always say:
“Perfection makes you an angel, imperfection makes you human”
Me as an athlete understand very much how the road to success is. I had my share of ups and down. More down then up. Yet still somewhere. People in the sport can still recognize my name. It’s not easy to balance up studies, sport, expectation and being a young adult. There’s a lot of sacrifice to be done to even get a pinch of a progress. So do us all a favor and go figure.
