Please, let's not mess this up again. This was the plea of men's doubles shuttler, Soh Wooi Yik to Malaysians following the recent spike in Covid-19 cases.
On Tuesday, Malaysia recorded its highest daily count with 691 positive cases, sending the nation into panic.
Fearing a second lockdown, following the first Movement Control Order (MCO) in March, Wooi Yik has urged all Malaysians to remain vigilant as the fight against the Coronavirus is far from over.
"As players, we are running on reserve. We do want to go into another lockdown.
"Without any international action, we are all feeling very down. I wouldn't know how to handle it If we have to go home and train remotely again.
"Please I beg everyone out there to follow the health and safety SOP (standard operating procedure). Let's not mess this up again," pleaded Wooi Yik.
Yesterday, a total of 489 new Covid-19 cases were recorded.
Meanwhile, more Asian shuttlers pulled out of the upcoming Denmark Open due to fear of rising cases in Europe, much to the annoyance of several Danes, including former international, Jim Laugesen.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) finally confirmed the withdrawal of men's singles World No 1, Kento Momota, along with 16 other Japanese shuttlers from the Super 750 event which starts on Tuesday.
India's Saina Nehwal and her husband, P.Kashyap have also withdrawn.
"It's annoying that the world No 1 does not show up. But we still have Chou Tien Chen (Taiwan) and Anders Antonsen (Denmark), who are No 2 and No 3 on the (world) rankings," Laugesen lamented.
"I hope they change the draw after all these cancellations, because Antonsen against Tien Chen is potentially a really, really strong final.
"In addition, the tournament is still heavily occupied in women's doubles, where Japan have not withdrawn their players."
