Playing Badminton in UK
During the seventies of the last century, a friend of mine went to study in England.
He had his accommodation at YMCA.
During Summer time he had nowhere to go but to play games all day long.
Once he wanted to play badminton with the Britons staying with him in the hostel. Before the game commenced, the Britons asked him from which country he came from. He told them that he was from Malaysia. Hearing that the Britons were scared of him as they thought every Malaysian was just like another Wong Peng Soon(黄屏舜) , Tan Aik Huang(陈奕芳) Ng Boon Bee(伍文美) and many other international players. Malaya was known as the Kingdom of Badminton during the decades of 1940- 1970. During that period our country had won the Thomas Cup thrice and All England badminton championship for many times.
So the Britons were afraid of my friend and they had refused to play with him,little did they know that my friend was a book worm during his school days.
