It happened two days ago. Morning. Already received rumours of a possible lockdown. Mew Choo made a list of whatever necessary for 2 weeks. Some 5 chickens, some vege, a bag of rice, two dozens of eggs, 2 packs of instant noodles, a cooking oil and one packet of toilet rolls.
I reached the nearest supermarket. Oh my, many aunties dashing the store with overflow shopping trollies. The anxiousness creeped in as if my first Olympics years ago. Situation was crazy. Fortunately, I managed to gather wife’s list, except for one. The toilet paper! There were people pushing trolleys with 10 bags of toilet papers! How many buttholes one needs to wash with that many? (Toilet papers are important during previous pandemic period due to unclean water and psychological effect)
Magically, a gentle voice from behind greeted “Lee, you can take this pack. I took two just now and you know I don’t use it to wash”. It was Nazir, a friend who stays nearby. We laughed and joked a little. Noting more trolleys sprinters ambushing the store, I sped off as soon as I could, knowing that the pandemic is highly contagious.
My friends. I know we are facing an unprecedented crisis. Please do store food. But don’t store like there is no tomorrow. More importantly, stay home! Treat as though you yourself are carrying the virus, don’t go back to your hometown to your parents. Stay home! If you don’t, your love ones will die!
We Malaysians are better than this. I know Malaysians and the whole world will win this war. And it will be easier if we work together.
Lastly my upmost appreciation the frontliners like the doctors, nurses, hospital staffs, supermarket cashiers etc. You risk your lives so we can live ours. Chong Wei bow to you guys. Thank you.
******************************************
Dua hari lepas, ada khabar angin restriction order berkenaan coronavirus ni. So Mew Choo pon suruh pergi beli ape yg patut untuk 2 minggu ni. Wife add maths lagi terrer, so ikot shopping list wife. Family 4 orang, ayam 5 ekor, beras 1 bag, sayur 2 minggu, Maggie 2 pack, telor 2 dozen, buah, toilet paper 1 bag.
Tapi time I sampai supermarket, aduhai! Ramainyer auntie2 makcik2, macam lumba marathon trolly! Kalah Khairul Jantan! Nasib baik sempat lagi kumpul shopping list wife. Tapi toilet paper I terlambat. Ternganga I tgk mamat depan I tapao 10 bag tisu jamban! Banyaknyer jubur kat rumah. (I ingat masa dulu dalam situasi wabak yg bahaya, air paip pon akan jadi bahaya. Itu sebab tisu tandas jadi penting.)
Datang satu suara menyeru dari belakang, ”Lee, nah amik bag ni. I terambik 2. Tadi tgk sumer rebut tapao wa pon terikot amik extra, ntah kenape, bukan I pakai untuk basuh pon!“ Dia Nazir, sahabat yang tinggal berhampiran. Kita tergelak and catch up sket. Selepas tu, makin ramai gangster trolly serbu, I pon terus cabut, sebab I tau virus ni merebak mudah.
Kawan sekalian, saya berharap agar jangan cemas menghadapi krisis ini. Simpanlah makanan tapi berpatutanlah bilangannya. Dan I minta tolong semua duduk di rumah jgn keluar sementara ni. Jangan balik kampong macam cuti raya. Ko mungkin ok, tapi yg mati nnt orang tersayang.
Percayalah, mimpi ngeri ini akan berakhir. Jangan panic. Kita warga Malaysia tak kira bangsa dan agama berganding bahu, bertolak ansur, tolong menolong, hari itu akan sampai dengan lebih cepat.
Kepada frontliners, para doctor, missi, kakitangan hospital dan juga cashier pasaraya yang terus berkhidmat dalam masa ini. Terimalah tunduk kehormatan dari saya!
Cara paling baik kita membalas budi dan bersumbang, is to #STAYHOME
世上没有从天而降的英雄,只有挺身而出的凡人!非常时期,不聚会、不聚餐、不出门,不是人情淡薄,而是健康第一、生命至上,待在家不外出,是我们的责任。
不要囤货,不要恐慌,不要人云亦云,网络上真假新闻满天飞,要先自我判断,求真求证,确定了再转发和分享;乌云会散,雨过天会晴,希望疫情早日结束,我们都能平安健康,14天很快过去,一起加油,一切都会好起来的。

Kudos to the hero.
To all my family friends and fans. To everyone of you who have been a part of my life, thank you. A real big sincere thank you.
Months ago, all of you knew I had cancer. I fought it. And I thought I fought it well. I thought I could try one more time.
I am just someone who love to play badminton. Someone who love my country. I feared of retiring with regrets. I was scared of not delivering that elusive Olympic gold for Malaysia. So when I was cleared of cancer, I took up my racquet and trained once again.
After few days of light training, I wanted to get clearanyce from my doctor to heighten my training intensity, then i was dealt a major blow. From that scan, doctor shook his head and said i might face the risk of recurrence if I continue to train. Mew Choo crumbled crying. She feared i might be stubborn and continue to pursue my dream.
I was at loss. I thought “How am I supposed to hang up my racket after nearly twenty years of competitive badminton?, “ How about my Olympic dreams?”
At home, i kept myself occupied with my two sons, Kingston and Terrence. I bathed them, I fed them, I taught them badminton. I spent time with them. Most importantly, I really watched them grew up.
Then it struck me to finally make up my mind. I shouldn’t be so selfish. I have played for myself, I have played for my country. This time, I want to play the role of a father, for long long time. I want to see them grow up to be proper men, to get married, to have kids. I want to take care of my wife when she is old too.
So Yes, I have made my decision to quit. I’m sorry that I couldn’t make it to Tokyo this time around. And I’m sorry I didn’t deliver an Olympic gold. But I know I’ve no regrets as I’ve tried my best. My very best.
I hope my name Lee Chong Wei has inspired you all one way or another, same like the way you guys inspired me. Without my family, my teammates, my coaches, and my supporters, I won’t achieve anything.
To my fellow badminton players like the Lin Dans, the Taufiks, the Peter Gades, and Hyun ills. Yup, my time is up. Thank you for the great battles we had. As amazing as it is, i think our era should be coming to an end now. Momota, Victor, Yuqi and Zi Jia, do hold the fort well. Make the world realise badminton is the best sport on earth.
To fellow Malaysian shuttlers, don’t give up the dream. Please remember there are actually thousands of Malaysians praying for your success. Train harder everyday. Always beat yesterday’s training records. Also, a sportsman life is short. Don’t end with regrets. There is actually a young 5 years old Ali, Muthu or Ah Meng idolising you, making you their Malaysian superhero. Don’t disappoint them. Play for the flag, play for Negaraku.
I had no regrets. When i started playing badminton, all I wanted to do is to represent Malaysia. And I believed I did it with pride and honour.
Well. I’m done. Thank you very much to all of you. Lee Chong Wei signing out.

Rakan sekalian, Selamat Hari Raya dan Salam sejahtera. Saya ingin meminta maaf Sebab saya sudah tidak mampu lagi bermain badminton untuk negara dan anda semua.
Doktor menasihatkan saya bahawa risiko kanser kembali agak tinggi sekiranya saya berlatih dengan intensiti seperti dulu.
Ya, Tokyo 2020 tidak kesampaian. Tetapi, saya rasa saya akan meninggalkan arena Badminton tanpa kekesalan. Dari kecil, impian saya memang nak mewakili negara ini. Dan rasanya, saya dah berjaya.
Perasaan berdiri di podium, melihat bendera dinaikkan dan mendengar lagu Negaraku sememangnya akan dirindui.
Jangan risau sangat atas pengunduran Diri Saya Kerana kita mempunyai Barisan pelapis Yang kuat. Saya yakin dia orang boleh!
Terima kasih kawan kawan. Minta maaf atas mana mana Yang tak sempurna dalAm karier sukan saya. Dah tiba masa untuk kuda tua ini berehat. Terima kasih.

大家好,我是李宗伟,几经挣扎我最终选择了挂拍,为我近20年在马来西亚国家队的羽毛球职业生涯,画上句点。
很抱歉让球迷们失望了,如果情况允许,我也想第五次站在奥运的赛场上,实现奥运金牌梦,如果身体可以我也想承载着国人的寄望,披着国旗继续前进,如果可以... 但,人生没有如果。
放下球拍这不是容易的决定,心里头满满的不舍,但决定了就好了。感谢教练、队友、羽总全体员工、物理治疗师、所有喜欢我的爱我的支持我的、看过我打球的、曾给我留言的朋友,谢谢你们,这一路上因为有你们,我才能是我。
很多朋友问我之后什么打算?除了好好休息,还有好多事情等着我去做,其中包括实现承诺,带我的老婆去度蜜月,结婚到现在讲到现在,终于有时间可以去做了,哈,有什么好地方推荐吗?
各位朋友,这一站我就先下车了,希望带着你们的祝福,开启下一段更精彩的人生路。
