Last Sunday, I was united with millions of other Malaysians for one cause: cheering on Lee Chong Wei in the London 2012 Olympics Men’s Badminton Final.
Chong Wei produced a brilliant effort, but alas he was edged out by nemesis Lin Dan.
I'm sorry

@Yahoo_MY thank you everyone I'm sorry I could not get gold

“I’m sorry,” Chong Wei tweeted after the match. The weight of a nation’s hopes for its first ever Olympic gold must have crushed him.
