00:00I feel that this development is very good because there are chances for young people who are semi-pro to play.

00:16I feel like it's a bad feeling of badminton.

00:20I think it's a bad feeling because we have to increase badminton in Malaysia even though the sport has a great growth.

00:32But I feel that this event is also a charity.

00:36So I feel that it's more of a meaning.

00:38Sponsor for the tournament is really less.

00:43As you guys know, pairing is a bit difficult to get a sponsor.

00:51But I really thank you because there are some partners who have helped me.

00:59When I started to scam and when I started pairing new, I really appreciate the support of them.

01:06So now I'm here to thank them.

01:11Yeah, next tournament I made end of July.

01:14Macau Open.

01:15Super 300.

01:16Which, we are also trying to increase the rankings and play a bigger tournament.

01:24So I think this is a very good chance for us to finally play Super 300.

01:31I and Jimmy are still working.

01:34I feel that there are still many things that need to improve.

01:36So we are going to step by step.

01:38As you know, experience is very important.

01:41Like tournament and tournament.

01:42In the tournament, I really feel that there is no problem.

01:45But in the tournament, we have to learn.

01:48I have been training for a long time.

01:50We sometimes, before I partner with Kim Ming,

01:54actually in the training, we have scratch fairs.

01:57Because in the training, we sometimes have scratch fairs.

02:00Sometimes I partner fairs.

02:02So I feel that he is a junior who is very successful.

02:06That's why I also want to help him.

02:09So I want to give the opportunity for myself and him.

02:13So let's try.

02:14I want to try again.

02:16So far, we are playing 5 tournament.

02:19I see.

02:20There are even 3 finals.

02:21I don't have one title.

02:23So I hope I can get one title.

02:25To prove myself or thank you to all the sponsors.

02:31So I hope I can get one title.

02:34So you said that you want to start back with yourself.

02:37So it looks like you are too long.

02:39Do you want to continue the career?

02:41Or do you feel that you are going to give a couple of years?

02:44How many years?

02:45I won't give a couple of years.

02:46But I will see the conditions of body.

02:49As far as I feel,

02:51I still have a body.

02:52I still have a body.

02:53I still have a body.

02:54I still have a body.

02:55I still have a body.

02:56So I will try the best.

03:01The women double need a lot.

03:04So I have a lot of age.

03:07And then I am not a strong person.

03:11So I am a mindset.

03:12So if anyone wants to take me,

03:14I really need to do more work.

03:17I know.

03:18I know.

03:20So I think I will still focus on the mixed double.

03:25Okay, look at here.

03:26One.

03:27Yeah.

03:28Look at our...

03:29Okay.
