00:00He went back to the hotel, and that's where he got hit.
00:02He got hit with a soapy spoon.
00:05That's where he got hit.
00:07He said, what's more important is honesty.
00:11Telling the truth.
00:13That's what people accept more than us giving excuses.
00:22Because when I was there, in Spain,
00:25all the Malaysian reporters left.
00:27All of them left.
00:30All of them left.
00:31They didn't want to leave, right?
00:32The world champion of imagination.
00:35So, when I got there,
00:39the weather there was quite hot.
00:42Hot and dry.
00:43It was the same hot season.
00:47So, actually, before the game started,
00:52I remember the first round, I met an Indian player,
00:56Abhisham Gupta, I still remember.
00:58In the second round, I met a Hong Kong player.
01:01The second Hong Kong player, Tan Kai Chuen.
01:03He was the first Hong Kong player to go away.
01:06He was the second.
01:07Before the game, I wasn't feeling well.
01:13I was coughing and everything.
01:16But I didn't tell my coach, Dato' Isbon.
01:21When I was playing with the Indians,
01:24I always met him.
01:26I always said,
01:28there will be three games.
01:29Because the game was the same.
01:31We played in a long rally.
01:33But at that time, I won.
01:36I won the rubber set.
01:38When we were in a bad condition,
01:44it was hard to breathe.
01:48But I was still able to maintain that.
01:52I should have just told Dato' Isbon.
01:56I said, I was in a bad condition.
01:58I didn't need to play.
01:59So, when I played with the Hong Kong player,
02:04in the second round, I lost.
02:05I lost the straight set.
02:07When I came out, of course,
02:10all the reporters came and asked why I lost.
02:13At that time, Dato' Isbon was there.
02:16I said, I was coughing, I was coughing.
02:21So, the point is, we gave such an excuse.
02:24So, it's true.
02:26It's true, right?
02:27So, the reporters also asked,
02:29if the condition was like this, why did you want to play?
02:34Then I said, because I felt like I could.
02:40I felt like I didn't want to disappoint myself.
02:46When everything was over, when I returned to the hotel,
02:50I was hit by Dato' Isbon there.
02:54I was hit there.
02:56He said, what's more important is honesty.
03:00Telling the truth.
03:02That's what people accept more than us giving an excuse like this.
03:08Of course, people will ask,
03:09they already know the condition, why do you want to play?
03:12It's better to walk over.
03:14And we have to tell them that we can't do that.
03:18So, it's better to be honest like that.
03:21So, that's the lesson.
03:23It's the most valuable.
