'I am human too', says Kisona in tears ahead of Uber Cup


AARHUS (Bernama): National women's singles shuttler S. Kisona (pic) has admitted that the insensitive racist comment made against her on social media during the recent Sudirman Cup competition affected her psychologically and her performance.

However, the 23-year-old Seremban born is determined to put that incident behind her and focus on the Uber Cup opening round match against hosts Denmark on Saturday (Oct 9) as she will take on the role of first singles for Malaysia.
