COMMENT | When I started playing badminton, all I wanted to do was to represent Malaysia. And I believed I did it with pride and honour.
| To all my family, friends and fans. To every one of you who have been a part of my life, thank you. A real big sincere thank you.
I was scared of not delivering that elusive Olympic gold for Malaysia. So when I was cleared of cancer, I took up my racquet and trained once again. I was at a loss. I thought “How am I supposed to hang up my racket after nearly twenty years of competitive badminton?At home, I kept myself occupied with my two sons, Kingston and Terrence. I bathed them, I fed them, I taught them badminton. I spent time with them. Most importantly, I really watched them grew up.I shouldn’t be so selfish. I have played for myself, I have played for my country. This time, I want to play the role of a father, for a long long time.
To my fellow badminton players like Lin Dan, Taufik Hidayat, Peter Gade Christensen and Lee Hyun-Il. Yup, my time is up. Thank you for the great battles we had.
