Sportsman at Election Campaign

Yesterday read some newspaper and found out that Lee Chong Wei was at one of the BN candidate's campaign for election. Haven't these sportman learnt from lesson? Are they being used by the candidates to attract more votes?

Last year when Koo Kien Kiat - Tan Boon Heong won the All England and Swiss Open, they were the nation's hero and immediately they were flourist with all kinds of interviews and activities, including the campaign for one of the Johor By-election. Then what happen? Their performance dropped sharply and it took them months before regain that little bit of confidence, which was then easily shattered.

Now it's Chong Wei's turn. I think probably he's been advise by his beloved coach, Misbun Sidek or Youth and Sports Minister, Azalina to stands for the election campaign activity so more people will be attracted to their speech. What these dumbs doesn't know is that this will eventually affecting their performance in not only All England and other up coming events, but eventually will affect their performance badly in the more important Thomas Cup and Olympic.

Let's not forget that they are only sportsmen, who is trying their best, putting all their heart out to try to make Malaysia proud by doing what they did best. Let's not diverting their attention into something irrelevant or else by June and August come, we will start scratching our head and tail trying to find out why our sportsmen always perform badly when it really matters.

Watch out all you sportsmen outthere! Beware of the unnoticed danger of distraction!
