A Profile of a Fanatical, Immature,Irrational Malaysian Badminton Fan
http://thestar.com.my/columnists/story.asp?file=/2012/8/5/columnists/onthebeat/11800010&sec=On%20The%20Beat
Here's one of the rants of this species with a lot of boo boos in content :
1) Lin Dan is a Hakka
2) Lin Dan was never involved in a scuffle with Lee Hyun Il
3) Lin Dan wanted to finish the AE quickly so that he can go shopping not as disrespect to LCW but more because the tournament is not a priority to him
4) A lot of the bad boy behaviour happened many years ago, no one should hold it against him as we all grow up
5) It looks like a lot of ranting and, there is no emphasis on badminton and the players' abilities,not only is it bad journalism filled with errors and misconceptions but should be coming from cheap politicians with some kind of agenda not related to sports.
Perhaps this nut is unaware that Lin Dan was Badminton's representative at the Laurette awards, in the company of Novak of Tennis and Usain Bolt of Athletics, in effect bad-mouthing a legend of badminton.
With people like this, its no wonder that badminton in Malaysia is in bad shape, one does not win on wishful thinking and politicking and bad-mouthing rivals like the politicians with their sex tapes.

2012 Olympics Badminton Women Doubles Group Matches Fiasco
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/eight-charged-throwing-olympic-badminton-matches-034357061.html
That was a really dumb thing to do.Right during the Olympics and obviously showing their defiance just as what happened in the Thomas and Uber Cup preliminaries when some teams played to lose.Surely there are better ways to lose,for eg. just using it as a practice match.No one can help them now,but the badminton body should have more sense to realise that it was a disaster waiting to happen by insisting on all those group matches.
Even more silly was focussing the TV camera on the lesser players even at the advanced stages when more exciting games were being played,depriving millions of watching classic encounters on the TV.Lesser players can be seen regularly on the regular tournaments!Whatever happened to excellence in sports or is sports all about marketing?

Incentives for China athletes
http://thestar.com.my/columnists/story.asp?file=/2012/7/21/columnists/madeinchina/11702835&sec=madeinchina
These are the things happening in China.In Bolehland Bolehans expect athletes to give their lives for Bolehland expecting nothing in return.In the meantime the Bolehans themselves help themselves to taxpayers money (without paying any taxes themselves) and grow fat whilst watching the athletes slog and waste away their futures.
