Another One Bites The Dust

Magnifique! Magnifico!

Olympic defending champion, Taufik Hidayat is out at the hands of old warhorse Wong Choong Hann in a not so keenly contested match ended just now.
1st set was touch and go affair while the 2nd was all Choong Hann's.
He led all the way in the 2nd set except for a brief spell when he allowed Taufik to pull level. Ahh..he was just postponing the inevitable for tried as hard as he maybe, Taufik was clearly 2nd best tonight. Choong Hann's foreplay ..ooops attacking play was too much for him.
Choong Hann now goes thru to the last 16 to join compatriot Lee Chong Wei who earlier defeated naturalised Singaporean Ronald Susilo.

Is he going for the 1M reward?
My good friend, schoolmate and football match ticket provider, Rizal Hashim of Malaysian Sports' Loose Cannon fame appeared in RTM's Blog Live yesterday. He opined that 1M was too much a reward.
66% of viewers of a live poll backed him.

Me? How much? 1M? Who cares anyway.....the nation's wealth worth gazillion is being plundered by some quarters who think their father own our Bolehland...at least Choong Hann or any gold medal winner worked their ass for it...not sell it huh...like some Fools..

1M is peanuts then...

Well, if you look at it from that point of view, I can't agree more.
