4 out of 6 Malaysian Junior MS players going to Philippine Open in late July.
WJC 2004, in Korea huh..
Nice article, I like Chun Seang's never-fear-anyone mentality. The other MJs should adapt the same mentality.
Oh, here's the pic left out in jug8man's post:

Well..before that, we will see the effect in the Thai Open thread first
Can somebody tell Chun Seang that Chen Jin practices smashes 90 minutes per day... Chun Seang's 30 minutes per day is pale in comparisson...
TCS did make strides...
Tan won the 2007 Vietnam Challenge and 2007 Singapore Series and ranked #37 in the BWF list.
So did Chen Jin...
Chen won the 2007 Swiss Super Series, the 2006 China Masters, the 2006 German Open and ranked number 4 in the planet.

Badminton: Coach wants Kwong Beng to raise his game
By RAJES PAUL
KUALA LUMPUR: National men’s singles coach Misbun Sidek has thrown a challenge to youngster Chan Kwong Beng (pic) to raise his game to a new height in the US$120,000 Thailand Open, which begins today in Bangkok with the qualifying tournament.
The 19-year-old back-up shuttler is the only player under Misbun’s charge who will see action in the tournament.
His top three players – Lee Chong Wei, Mohd Hafiz Hashim and Kuan Beng Hong – are giving the tournament a skip. And three of Misbun’s junior charges – Lok Chong Chieh, Zairul Hafiz Zainuddin and Syed Akhbar Mustakim – were not selected.
Misbun wants Kwong Beng, who holds the credentials of having won the national schools (MSSM) Under-15 (2003) and Under-18 (2005) titles, to start making his mark on the bigger international stage.
“He did well in two previous satellite tournaments and I want him to continue with his good showing. The Thai Open will be tougher and I have asked him to spring some upsets,” said Misbun.
At the Asian Satellite in Singapore, he defeated two Project 2010-12 players – Liew Daren and Lim Kenn – en route to the semi-finals. He did better at the Vietnam Satellite – eliminating Thai number two Poompat Sapkulchananart and national player K. Yogendran.
Misbun said that the commitment showed by Kwong Beng reminded him of Chong Wei, who came under his charge four years ago.
“Kwong Beng is taking a similar approach to training as Chong Wei in his younger days. He can also read the game of his opponents quickly and has good anticipation,” he said.
“He is more prominent among the back-up players who train under me. The only setback is that he is shorter than Chong Wei but he makes up for it with fast movements on court. It gives me a good feeling to see his commitment in training.
“I am spending more time to develop his game. The sparring session with the top players is also helping him. Hopefully, all his work will be translated to a good showing in the Thai Open.”
Kwong Beng will take on Indonesian Nugroho Andi Saputro in the first round of the qualifying tournament today. A place in the main draw will give him a match against KLRC Bhd’s Lee Tsuen Seng, who is using the tournament as a run-up to the World Championships, which will be held at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from Aug 13-19.
In the same quarter of the draw are second seed Chen Hong of China and Nusa Mahsuri’s Mohd Roslin Hashim.
The other Malaysians in action in the qualifying round today are Vountus Indra Mawan, Lim Fang Yang, Teo Kok Siang, Chong Li Qun and Beryno Wong.
Meanwhile, Misbun said that Beng Hong, who has been given a clean bill of health after a dengue fever scare, would skip next week’s China Masters, which is the seventh leg of the Super Series, to concentrate on the Philippines Open from July 17-22.
