Syabas, Datuk Lee Chong Wei!

 

 

 

 

Datuk Lee Chong Wei versus Lin Dan

A real clash of the titans

The badminton men’s semi-final of the Rio Olympics

Will be remembered as an epic.

 

The rubber game was exhilarating

And the last few minutes were truly nail-biting

As I watched Lin Dan drew level with Chong Wei 20-20

I was overcome by a fear that Malaysia’s hope might end up empty.

 

Chong Wei had the nerves of steel

No way would he allow Lin Dan to steal

The match he could have won earlier

Winning the final two points proved that he was mightier.

 

The whole nation rejoiced in unity

In a great show of patriotism and harmony

Accolades poured from Malaysians from all walks of life

As joy and emotions ran rife.

 

Datuk Lee Chong Wei, syabas

You exhibited real class

You have created history

Future generations will remember your story.
