Malaysia lost 3-0 to China in a Thomas Cup semifinal tie six months ago and the demoralizing defeat still troubles doubles shuttler Tan Boon Heong.
And he hopes that (the team) can salvage some pride by putting up a better fight in the Asian Games men's team competition scheduled for Nov 13-15.
He will be more than happy if Malaysia can make life difficult for defending champion China. Malaysia is the second seed and it is tipped to play against China in the final.
