India's RMV Gurusaidutt beat Malaysia's Chong Wei Feng in the quarter-finals of the men's singles event at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games recently. - GLENN GUAN/ The Star

It wasn’t so much the way he went down 15-21, 21-8, 21-17 to R.M.V Gurusaidutt of India. It is more about the pain of seeing Malaysia’s 24-year domination of the men’s singles event in the Games being broken.
