MHC: Unfair competition format cost Malaysia dearly


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia, despite producing their best performance since the 2002 World Cup, can’t help feeling they have been victimised by an unacceptable competition format which placed them out of the top 12 in the just concluded edition in Bhubaneswar-Rourkela, India.

The Speedy Tigers, who won three of their six matches, finished joint 13th with France while South Africa and Wales, who just secured one win each from the six games they played, occupied joint 11th spots.
