IPOH: An 18-year-old college student has been killed in a freak accident after he was hit by a sickle carried by a foreign worker on a motorcycle in Teluk Intan.
The winners: South Korea’s Kim Won-ho-Seo Seung-jae , Taiwan’s Ye Hong Wei-Nicole Chan , China’s Wang Zhiyi and Liu Shengshu-Tan Ning ; and Taiwan’s Lin Chun-yi . — AgenciesPETALING JAYA: Three-time All-England runners-up Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik continue to show that they are Malaysia’s most reliable pair in major tournaments.
They can certainly be counted on to deliver when playing the role of first doubles in the Thomas Cup Finals in Horsens, Denmark, from April 24-May 3, based on their performances in the All-England. On Sunday, the world No. 2 pair fell short in their bid to win their first All-England title in their third attempt after losing 21-18, 12-21, 19-21 in 63 minutes to world No. 1 pair Kim Won-ho-Seo Seung-jae of South Korea in Birmingham. They fought tooth and nail but minor errors at crucial moments saw the Koreans romp home to their second All-England title. The defeat also extended Malaysia’s wait for the men’s doubles title since Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong won it in 2007, and it denied Aaron-Wooi Yik another opportunity to capture their first Super 1000 title.The titles may not be coming yet, but their performances have certainly gone up a notch. Aaron, determined to deliver at the Thomas Cup, admitted the defeat was painful but said they would stay positive. “Of course, losing again is painful but we have learnt a lot. We missed out on winning our first Super 1000 title but it’s not our time yet,” said Aaron. “There are still plenty of opportunities for us. We will now look forward to other tournaments, including the Thomas Cup. “Wooi Yik and I still did well. We reached the final and lost to the best pair out there. There’s more for us to learn.” Wooi Yik is still trying to come to terms with a mistake in the deciding game that may have turned the match around. With the score at 16-15, he had a clear chance to smash the shuttle but it went wide. The Koreans then caught up and kept their cool to go on and claim their second All-England title. “I think they had the advantage after we changed courts in the deciding game. We were aware of the situation but could not control it,” said Wooi Yik. “I made a simple mistake that cost us. Of course, it is quite disappointing but we will have to keep going.“We can see that and we hope the experience here will help us get it right in the next big tournament,” added Wooi Yik, who will compete in the Asian Championships from April 7-12 in China next.Kim Won-ho-Seo Seung-jae bt Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik 18-21, 21-12, 21-19.Liu Shengshu-Tan Ning bt Baek Ha-na-Lee So-hee 21-18, 21-12.Follow us on our official
