LONDON (Reuters) -Terence Stamp, who made his name as an actor in 1960s London and went on to play the arch-villain General Zod in the Hollywood hits 'Superman' and 'Superman II', has died aged 87, his family said on Sunday.
PETALING JAYA: As the Penang Badminton Association mark their centenary, former Badminton Association of Malaysia president Tan Sri Norza Zakaria is hopeful that the state will one day produce another great like Datuk Seri Lee Chong Wei.
Penang has long been a cradle of badminton talent, producing some of the world’s finest players including Datuk Eddy Choong, Datuk Tan Aik Huang, Ong Ewe Hock, Chan Peng Soon, Chin Eei Hui, Goh Jin Wei and, of course, Chong Wei. Therefore, Norza believes that under the stewardship of Datuk Kah Kau Kiak, PBA will carry on this proud legacy by grooming another world-beater in the mould of Chong Wei, who once reigned supreme on the international stage.
It is understood that the Penang state government has offered a 10-acre plot of land to PBA for the academy, but many details still need to be ironed out before the project can be successfully be implemented.“The details are not finalised yet, but I see this as a five-year plan,” said Kau Kiak.
