Tahniah kepada Nicol & Wee Wern atas kemenangan emas dan perak skuasy wanita di Sukan Asia, Incheon. Honoured to give out the medals to them. Sempat quick selfie at the medal podium! Korean official next to me wondering what's going on.
Sukan Olimpik Rio menutup tirai hari ini. Kontinjen negara pulang dengan 5 pingat: 4 perak dan 1 gangsa. Ini pencapaian yang terbaik oleh kontinjen Malaysia dalam sejarah penyertaan kita dalam temasya Olimpik. Kalau di campur semua pingat yang dimenangi daripada edisi-edisi Olimpik sebelum ini, jumlahnya 6. Kali ini 5. Tahniah kepada kontinjen kita.
Walaupun Negaraku masih tidak berkumandang di Sukan Olimpik, saya bangga dengan pencapaian para atlet kita. Mereka berjaya menyatukan rakyat dan memberi sinar harapan kepada semua tak kira bangsa, usia mahupun latar belakang.
Saya tahu Lee Chong Wei sangat sedih dengan keputusan perlawanan akhir. Berat mata memandang lagi berat bahu yang memikul harapan negara selama sepuluh tahun lebih. Kepada Chong Wei, anda tetap kebangaan negara. Anda tetap hero kami, rakyat Malaysia. Terima kasih kerana berjuang habis-habisan selama ini. Anda mendapat penghormatan setiap seorang rakyat Malaysia.
Kepada Wee Kiong dan V Shem, Liu Ying dan Peng Soon, Pandelela dan Jun Hoong, dan Azizul: tahniah dan terima kasih kerana menjadi kebangaan negara, berdiri diatas pentas dunia sebagai juara. You're all the best and you have inspired generations of Malaysian athletes to come.
Kepada para atlet, jurulatih dan pegawai yang lain, saya juga mengucapkan tahniah dan terima kasih. Thank you for making this Malaysia's BEST EVER Olympic Games. Kepada Ketua Kontinjen, Tan Sri Alamin, terima kasih atas kepimpinan yang hebat. One for the history books, Min.
Terima kasih juga saya ucapkan kepada predecessor saya, Dato' Shabery Cheek. Anda telah mulakan Program Road to Rio selepas London 2012 yang telah saya mewarisi dan meneruskan. Ini hasilnya boh! Kemah keming Kemamang!
Namun fokus kita sekarang mesti beralih ke Tokyo 2020. Perancangan kearah 2020 telah bermula dengan pelancaran Program Podium pada Februari tahun ini. Saya akan tekankan lagi pembangunan para atlet pelapis dan penerapan sains sukan melalui Program Podium dan Program Kita Juara. Saya yakin dengan perancangan yang baik, Tokyo 2020 akan mengakhiri penantian Malaysia untuk mendapat pingat emas.
Sekali lagi tahniah kepada wira-wirawati negara. I will look back on Rio years from now with tears in my eyes and pride in my soul. Because you all made me believe that we can achieve greatness and a nation united.
Malaysia Boleh!
Majulah sukan untuk negara.
The decision has been made ten days ago. Together with Datuk Seri Norza, we met at YB Sy Saddiq’s house and collectively agreed for my request to hang my racquet. They were solemn yet I managed to keep my emotions intact. It was heavy, very heavy. They were understanding, and I was grateful for that. They didn’t force me to play on. I simply couldn’t play anymore.
Wife made us brunch. My kids and I monkeyed through the meal. We had fun. Then my personal friend cum assistant came. He passed me the script I would have to follow in the press conference. I tried to memorize. It was piece of cake. Even Kingston said ,” Wah papa, your BM and England better than me”. We laughed.
After a long warm bath, I looked at the guy in the mirror, “Want to try one more time?” Then my sight gazed down to my neck and body. My body was so frail and thin. My muscles were jelly soft. The scar on my neck was so deep and dark after all the treatment.
Opening the wardrobe, I took out the Yonex Tiger Stripes Malaysia Jacket, chosen as my press conference attire. Standing beside me Mew Choo pointed out ,” Do you still remember when we started playing professionally, the national shirt we had was the plain white shirt with Proton Tiger logo as its main print? Never knew 19 years later, you would end it with a tiger on your shirt as well”. She looked into my eyes. I couldn’t utter any word. She hugged me, whispered, “You have given your all”.
Together we hopped on my friend’s car to Menara KBS. In the car, I was told worldwide media friends would attend the press conference. I took out the script, hoping to memorize one last time. My another hand? Clutching hard Mew Choo’s hand…
Suddenly my phone kept vibrating. My teammates. My relatives. My close friends. Words spread. They knew. I declined all their calls, trying to remain steady. I read their messages and heard their voice messages. Some cried. Some offered support. Many said thank you with pictures of me holding cups and the national flag.
Met my ex coaches Datuk Misbun, Datuk Seu Bock, Hendrawan at the center. They patted me and the pack. The conversations were short. Been with me too long. They knew I was focusing, trying to keep my emotions intact. I simply didn’t want to cry in public. Not in front of millions of live Malaysian and international audience.
Sat in between Datuk Seri Norza and Yb Sy Saddiq. I started off my speech. It was unimpressive. Facing the crowd, I didn’t remember the script at all, only relying on the key points to carry me through. Grammar out. Bahasa out. But I thought still okay. As long I didn’t crumble. Inside, I was trembling, shattering...
Then, started to thank my coaches, my team. All a sudden, flashbacks of how I trained in Penang came first. Flashbacks of my early morning trainings, jokes and banters with teammates, the walks into the court, the shouts of ‘Lee Chong Wei” from fans, the emotions of standing on the podium looking at the Malaysian flag”. I couldn’t hold back. I teared.
It has been a year. A year since I announced an end to my 25 years active badminton career span. It would never be the same for me again, but I think I still made the right decision. After all, I have given my all, my best, although sometimes the best may not be good enough…
一年前的今天，我宣布退役，结束我在马来西亚国家队19年的羽毛球生涯！过去一年我有更多的时间陪伴家人，也履行了承诺带老婆去旅行，幸运的是当时候还没有爆发新冠疫情，一切安排得刚刚好。
别问我会不会想念球场。
19年的国家队，6年槟州队一员，25年羽毛球职业生涯，占了我大半辈子人生，球迷们在场上一次一次大喊我的名字，那个场景那个声音，午夜梦回还总会在耳边回荡。
真心感谢球迷们对我的支持和爱护，就算我退役了，这份热情也少不了，还有谢谢教练团队，羽总主席，羽总的全体上下，所有帮助过我的爱我的朋友们......
阳光总在风雨后，这个行管令让我们有更多时间沉淀自己，好好想想未来人生；生活继续，加油努力，我们后会有期。❤️
今晚8点，Astro Arena有我的访问😊
