Badminton legend Lee Chong Wei took to Facebook on Malaysia Day to reflect on a defining moment in his career the 2006 Malaysia Open final in Kuching, Sarawak. Facing fierce rival Lin Dan, Chong Wei described the match as one of his most memorable, not just for the on-court battle, but for the unity and support he felt from Malaysians in the crowd. “What truly gave me strength was not my racket nor my skills,” he wrote, highlighting the emotional lift from the nation's backing. The moment remains etched in his memory as a symbol of Malaysian unity and pride.
