Lius Pongoh Quotations

Based on the tight points, Maria could have stolen the first set should she had a better control on the shuttlecocks.

We had expected to 'steal' at least two points from our third singles and second doubles. But we didn't make it.

We have no time to make big changes, particularly on the team's lineup with just less than two weeks prior to the qualifying round Feb. 15 to 19.

We didn't expect to lose against Malaysia, but our men's singles play was plagued by a poor level of fitness, thus they lost easily.

We do not want them to come home empty-handed. We are relying on our men's doubles and mixed doubles to win titles.

It was a very tight match. But Maria failed to overcome the pressure in the decisive set. We apologize for the defeat.
