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
