Badminton: Rashid’s faith in Kwong Beng pays off
CHAN Kwong Beng (pic) was once branded an indisciplined player but 2010-2012 Project squad coach Rashid Sidek has dismissed the allegation.
In fact, Rashid says Kwong Beng is probably the most talented back-up shuttler at the moment.
Kwong Beng, 19, was the top ranked shuttler in Bukit Jalil Sports School until 2005, twice a national junior champion and a quarter-finalist at the Asian Junior Championships.
Despite that, Kwong Beng was hardly considered for tournaments last year and was surprisingly left out from the squads to the Asian and World Junior Championships.
Discipline and lack of talent were often the excuses but Rashid retained his faith in the shuttler and sought his brother Misbun’s help to guide Kwong Beng and his three mates — Lok Chong Chieh, Zairul Hafiz Zainuddin and Syed Akhbar Syed Mustakim — in March.
Kwong Beng accepted the opportunity to spar with national seniors Lee Chong Wei, Hafiz Hashim and Kuan Beng Hong under Misbun and the results were immediate.
Kwong Beng, who was not considered for any tournament since last November, reached the semi-finals of the Vietnam Challenge and the final of the Singapore Satellite where he lost to eventual champion Tan Chun Seang on both occasions.
Kwong Beng was ranked World No 431 before the two events but his unexpected performance saw him leapfrogging to World No 166.
Rashid said he never doubted Kwong Beng’s dedication and the latest results have proven that the shuttler remained stagnant due to limited opportunities, not because of indiscipline.
"If I were to send my squad members for any tournament, Kwong Beng’s name will be the first one I’ll enter as he is a dedicated player. I was surprised to hear that he was indisciplined and lacked talent," said Rashid.
"If he is not good enough, he wouldn’t have improved so drastically in just three months."
Kwong Beng’s reward is a chance to compete in the Thailand Open, which will be held on July 3-9, where he will be playing in the qualifying rounds and is also expected to get selected for the Philippines Open on July 17-22.
Oh yeah? Is it the first time.. Icic, happy fighting, Monyet..Hmm... Chun Seang vs Chen Jin... Who should I go for?
And yeah, congrats to TCS for getting his own room. LOL
LMAO, Ee Lyn, I'm questioning myself that too.. Huhuhu..
hmm.. hope chuan sheng can stund chen jin although he is the top seed.. haha.. how bout the others?? who will they meet??
yahope chun seang can surprise us..

Actually, Chen Jin did beat Tan Chun Seang in World Junior Team Championships 2004. 15-2, 15-11

but that was a long time ago.... I'm sure TCS has made strides of improvements since then.

Chun Seang: Bring on Chen Jin
KUALA LUMPUR: Inspired by his recent back-to-back international victories, national back-up shuttler Tan Chun Seang (pic) has vowed to give Chen Jin of China a run for his money in the Thailand Open from July 3-8.
The 21-year-old Chun Seang was unlucky to draw the top seeded Chen Jin in the first round of the US$120,000 tournament in Bangkok.
But the Malaysian, who won the Vietnam International Challenge (May) and the Asian Satellite (June), is not throwing in the towel yet.
“The recent wins have given me a lot of confidence. Chen Jin and I played in the same world junior tournament three years ago. He is the world number two now. I may not be in the same class as him but I hope to be up there eventually,” Chun Seang, the world No 39.
To ensure that he can keep pace with the big guns, Chun Seang has been working hard to improve on his attack.
“My coach (Rashid Sidek) has been focusing on my smashing skills every day. I spend about 30 minutes daily just on smashes,” he said. “My dream is to be the country’s top player. It will take a little more time but I believe that I am certainly on the right track.”
Chun Seang is one of the three players from the Project 2010-12 to play in the main draw of the Thailand Open. The others are Liew Daren and Chong Wei Feng.
In the first round, Liew will meet Indonesian Tommy Sugiarto while Wei Feng faces a qualifier.
