Speaking to Bernama, Chong Wei admitted that he was unhappy and surprised with Taufik’s statement that seemed to indicate his disagreement over the selection, which was something decided by the BWF and not at Chong Wei’s behest. “I didn’t ask the BWF to list me and I did not write a letter to the BWF, I myself did not know about the induction. Maybe there’s a requirement for selection, and there are other Malaysian players who were inducted into the Hall of Fame who have never won an Olympic .
Chong Wei also hoped that BWF would issue a statement clarifying the matter to Taufik as to why he and Lin Dan were selected to be inducted into the BWF Hall of Fame. Chong Wei was world number one for 349 weeks, and won three silver Olympic medals – in Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio 2016.
