Malaysia need to produce more quality singles players

MALAYSIA came to Japan with high spirits, the best of preparations and with a team to be envied. In the end, the Thomas Cup Finals outing cruelly exposed the lack of depth in the men's singles department. 

In the semi-final tie against Denmark on Friday, Malaysians were beaten in all three singles although the doubles players salvaged some pride by taking what were supposed to be two “un-winnable” points in the narrow 2-3 defeat at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.
