00:00Badminton continued to be an important sport for Malaysia in the Olympics, a constant source of support since Beijing 2008.
00:06Aaron Chiah Soehoe, who has been a consistent men's golfer since Rio 2016.
00:13Meanwhile, Lee Zijia continued the legacy of Dato' Rashid Siddiq in Atlanta 1996,
00:17as well as Dato' Lee Chong Wei in the three Olympic editions since Beijing 2008,
00:22to become the third male badminton player in Malaysia to win the Olympic medal.
00:27Dato' Azizul Hasni Awang, who won the fifth and last Olympic medal in the badminton competition,
00:32was the one who said goodbye to the legacy of the badminton player.
00:36However, there was still hope for Syafiq Dausharum,
00:39to ensure the legacy of the Olympic gold medalist, The Pocket Rocketman, continues.
00:44After we saw and understood that the Olympics is a global event,
00:49and we need to step on the ground,
00:54and we need to see that we are trying to hunt the gold medalist,
01:05but we need to understand the reality of where our ranking is.
01:12The closest one is Dato' Azizul Hasni.
01:15Dato' Azizul Hasni is a silver medalist in Tokyo,
01:20and he is in the top three ranking until the Olympics.
01:24And if we look at badminton,
01:27we don't have a number one player,
01:30but badminton players can achieve or have rejected their performance at a high level.
01:38For example, Anik Kasdan is number seven,
01:42and he got number four.
01:44So this is what we see,
01:46like Izzah performed for the first time in the Olympics,
01:49for Syafiq Dausharum in the final round.
01:52So this is mostly their improvement that we are proud of,
01:58although some of them did not get a gold medal,
02:00but they improved in terms of performance at the world level.
02:03Overall, Malaysia ended the Paris 2024 campaign,
02:07behind the neighbors of the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand,
02:10who brought home the gold medal.
02:12In fact, the small Caribbean island country of Saint Lucia,
02:15which has a population of less than 200,000,
02:18also won the Olympic gold.
02:19The reality is to work hard to ensure the Olympic gold dream in Malaysia
02:23is realized in LA in 2028.
02:27This must be continued for the preparation.
02:29It's just our dream that we need to make an effort from now on.
02:36Finally, today in Paris,
02:38we need to make preparations before going to LA in 2028.
