Silver lining in our Olympic journey


FOR Malaysia, the Rio Olympics did not end on a golden note. Our badminton ace Datuk Lee Chong Wei did all he could against China’s Chen Long in the men’s singles final last night, but for the third time, he had to settle for silver.

Yes, we are disappointed, but we have not been let down. In fact, once we recover from yesterday’s loss, we can better appreciate what our Olympians have achieved.
