    LKY was regarded by Chen Long as one of the more all rounded player. He has the speed, good defence and attack. Hope he do well in the coming tournaments and Olympic. 🎉

A LKY fan argued with me insisted since Ho replaced Handoyo LKY’s performance has dropped like a rock so it must be the coach’s fault.

    When you compare the training of kean yew and I guess myself, there’s a few similarities, for 1 multishuttle training is there although the pacing would be different. For me it’s just fast paced 12 shuttles, but for kean yew it’s 20 (I think) at various speeds. There’s also match plays which is nice I would consider resistance bands, but I’d Add that with a shoulder tube (something that can loosen your shoulder which is helpful when you smash). All in all I think the training is roughly the same between him and myself(a non national team player)

    I think this is just one of the many different training sessions, and it just so happens that this one is similar to yours. I don't think a world class player like him will always be doing the same thing, so no, I don't think his entire training is the same as yours.

    Ask him to come back Malaysialah. And no body is angry at him playing for Singapore in the past. I know earning in Singapore dollars is bigger than earning in Ringgit spending in Malaysia but the coaches and the training environment in Singapore is different . Singapore might offer better facilities but Malaysia have better sparring partners. You are born in Malaysia. Think about it.
