Malaysian Shuttlers Reach Quarter-Final

In this year's Thomas Cup which is being held in Japan, the Malaysian badminton team whitewashed England 5-0 to set up a quarter-final encounter with South Korea, provided the Koreans finish off the German team in their last fixture. Malaysia last won the Thomas Cup in 1992 when it was held at Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This team then was spearheaded by the famous Sidek brothers - Rashid, Razif and Jailani.
