THE BATTLE OF LEE CHONG WEI HAS UNITED THE PEOPLE AS ONE - MALAYSIANS

Actually, Lee Chong Wei was naturally astute politically, because his life and deeds defined the significance of 1 Malaysia as Malaysians First, then Malays, Chinese. Indians and others

In the titanic struggle  between him and Lin Dan, where both were of ethnic Chinese in origin,  he fought as a true Malaysian, and the question of being Chinese did not mean he had to give deference to a brother from China, Lee’s motherland.  Lee is ethnically Chinese, but a true and die hard Malaysian in every other aspect of life.

Chong Wei’s instincts were Malaysian – he deployed his skills and experience as best as he could in the hope that he would bring home the Olympic Gold to Malaysia.

He is the ideal Malaysian and is a sterling example for all to follow. He is saying that the people are like him – all Malaysians.  They do not believe in ketuanan melayu, but they fervently believe that they are Malaysians of equal standing, and they are prepared to fight for the honor and glory of Malaysia at all times.

THE BATTLE OF LIM CHONG WEI HAS UNITED THE PEOPLE AS ONE - MALAYSIANS.

 Once in a while, an encouraging sign of Malaysian nationalism show up.

LEE CHONG WEI is a good example of a patriotic Malaysian.  In spite of the negative outbursts by Perkasa and UMNO, the ordinary people as a whole feel this is their country, and they belong here

LEE CHONG WEI fought  and used up his last ounce of  energy for the honour and glory of his country.  He played his best for Malaysia. Literally, he lost by a hair’s breadth.  He was as good as his opponent from China. Lin Dan.

He was as good as Lin Dan as shown by the ding dong battle in the third round. Unfortunately, at the end the luck of the shuttle fell to Lin Dan who won, when Chong Wei’s shot fell just off the base line.

Was it a defeat for CHONG WEI?  Definitely not. The battle showed that it was a victory for the Malaysian spirit, where the player fought his heart out for Malaysia and for his country men whether in the stadium or back home in the old country.

The multiracial supporters cheered for Chong Wei as one – Malaysians together.  Defeat?  There was only victory,  victory for the Malaysian spirit even in defeat.

The champion performance of CHONG WEI  in the centre court and the support of Malaysians in the stands have shown that the  people  of  Malaysia regard themselves as one people.

Thank you Chong Wei for uniting the people.  You are a hero in more ways than one

AUG 3 — A little bit of history.

In the 14th century, Sumatran people from the land of the Minangkabau began to settle down in the state today known as Negri Sembilan. They came through Malacca and reached places like Rembau. The Minangkabaus brought their superior civilisation to bear on the local asli tribes. Intermarriages between them resulted in the creation of the Biduanda clan. The Biduanda clan eventually emerged as the successors of the ruling tribes and established the rule that territorial chiefs of Negri Sembilan are only selected from within the Biduanda clan.

The chieftains were originally called penghulus and later as undang. Before the arrival of the paramount chief, Negri Sembilan formed part of the Johor Sultanate which gave the title Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan to the paramount chief.
