KUALA LUMPUR: National singles chief coach Misbun Sidek is not concerned at all over the absence of top singles shuttler Wong Choong Hann, who left for Athens on Wednesday night for a week-long activity to carry the Olympic torch with other Malaysian sport heroes on the island of Crete.
Instead, he believes that the occasion would help fan the fire in Choong Hann, who has suffered the disappointment of an opening round defeat by former world champion Peter Rasmussen of Denmark in the Malaysian Open in Kuantan last week.
