00:00Badminton continued to be an important sport for Malaysia in the Olympics, a constant source of support since Beijing 2008.

00:06Aaron Chiah Soehoe, who has been a consistent men's golfer since Rio 2016.

00:13Meanwhile, Lee Zijia continued the legacy of Dato' Rashid Siddiq in Atlanta 1996,

00:17as well as Dato' Lee Chong Wei in the three Olympic editions since Beijing 2008,

00:22to become the third male badminton player in Malaysia to win the Olympic medal.

00:27Dato' Azizul Hasni Awang, who won the fifth and last Olympic medal in the badminton competition,

00:32was the one who said goodbye to the legacy of the badminton player.

00:36However, there was still hope for Syafiq Dausharum,

00:39to ensure the legacy of the Olympic gold medalist, The Pocket Rocketman, continues.

00:44After we saw and understood that the Olympics is a global event,

00:49and we need to step on the ground,

00:54and we need to see that we are trying to hunt the gold medalist,

01:05but we need to understand the reality of where our ranking is.

01:12The closest one is Dato' Azizul Hasni.

01:15Dato' Azizul Hasni is a silver medalist in Tokyo,

01:20and he is in the top three ranking until the Olympics.

01:24And if we look at badminton,

01:27we don't have a number one player,

01:30but badminton players can achieve or have rejected their performance at a high level.

01:38For example, Anik Kasdan is number seven,

01:42and he got number four.

01:44So this is what we see,

01:46like Izzah performed for the first time in the Olympics,

01:49for Syafiq Dausharum in the final round.

01:52So this is mostly their improvement that we are proud of,

01:58although some of them did not get a gold medal,

02:00but they improved in terms of performance at the world level.

02:03Overall, Malaysia ended the Paris 2024 campaign,

02:07behind the neighbors of the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand,

02:10who brought home the gold medal.

02:12In fact, the small Caribbean island country of Saint Lucia,

02:15which has a population of less than 200,000,

02:18also won the Olympic gold.

02:19The reality is to work hard to ensure the Olympic gold dream in Malaysia

02:23is realized in LA in 2028.

02:27This must be continued for the preparation.

02:29It's just our dream that we need to make an effort from now on.

02:36Finally, today in Paris,

02:38we need to make preparations before going to LA in 2028.
