Badminton Champion 2008

National number one Lee Chong Wei gave a show of class to emerge as the first Malaysian to win the Aviva Singapore Open men's singles title at the republic's indoor stadium this evening.

The world number two and top seed Chong Wei took only 29 minutes to crush Simon Santoso of Indonesia 21-13, 21-5 in one of the most lopsided men's singles finals in a Super Series event.

And Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari made it a more memorable outing for Malaysia by winning their first career men's doubles title – beating compatriots Gan Teik Chai-Woon Lin Fui 21-18, 21-17 in the final.

Hopefully, Zakry-Fairuzizuan will be selected to the Olympic China to replace the current men's double which is in my opinion are performing below par. They deserved better.

Truly, Lee Chong Wei will be the favourite to win the Olympic Gold Medal in China this year. I believed most of the Malaysian are looking forward to see that. Congratulation to the winners!!
