The really beautiful game now

HURRAY to our girls! By winning the women’s doubles title at the Arctic Open in Finland on Sunday, Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah redeemed much needed pride for Malaysia, showing that our homegrown talents can win spectacularly in international tournaments.

To me, there is no better sport than badminton, where Malaysians have truly shone as world class players since the 1950s. It is as Malaysian as nasi lemak, roti canai and char kway teow.
