Who is our national hero?

Looks like all the support and adoration is being aimed at Lee Chong Wei with very little thought given to the six other athletes who represented Malaysia at the Rio Olympics.

I woke up last Sunday morning only to find everyone at home in a sombre mood.
Grabbing my handphone in the hopes of finding some early morning entertainment, a notification popped up on Facebook. It was my daughter’s status.
It read: “Silver? Nope. He won gold in our hearts.”
Surfing the Internet, I saw many similar messages flooding cyberspace.
“He has united Malaysians more than Independence Day has for the last decade.”
“You are our champion, our hero.”
“You made me proud to be Malaysian.”
“Because you’ve given your best, and we all know that, as we, the world, watched every single second as you fought for every point you could.”
“No one can try harder than him. And no one can unite Malaysia better than him.”
“No one in the world deserves more gold than him.”
Wow!
While it is true that this may be Lee Chong Wei’s last attempt at the Olympics, and every Malaysian feels duty bound to support the sportsmen representing the country, I cannot help but ask if the others representing Malaysian received similar support and adoration.
Yes, Chong Wei gave his best trying to win us a gold. So did the rest of our athletes. In fact, we have six others who presented us with the same medal as Chong Wei – silver. Why then did we not flood social media with similar words of praise and comfort for them?
Are they not our national heroes?
Are we not proud of them?
Do they not unite us as a nation?
Do they not deserve gold?
Goh V Shem, Tan Wee Kiong, Chan Peng Soon, Goh Liu Ying, Cheong Jun Hoong, Pandelela Rinong and Azizulhasni Awang are all champions and national heroes in their own right.
Let us not forget that Chong Wei is the world number 1 player who won a silver while four of the athletes mentioned above are underdogs who proved to be on par with the nation’s so-called champion. These are the people who managed to take a leap of faith ‘demi negara tercinta.’
Mind you, I am not trying to downplay the contributions of Chong Wei to our nation. I am merely asking you to think about the others, as bringing pride to our nation is not Chong Wei’s burden alone to shoulder. Likewise, let it be not only Chong Wei who sweeps the ultimate glory, for everyone who represented Malaysia, regardless of whether they won or lost, are indeed our heroes.
Thank you to the Malaysian contingent in Rio Olympics 2016 – you’ve all made us proud!
