JAKARTA, May 17 — Malaysia failed to enter the final of the Thomas Cup after losing 2-3 to defending champions China in the semifinals at the Istora Senayan yesterday. Malaysia, seeded third, now must wait for another two years to end its 16-year drought in winning the coveted trophy, having last won it in Kuala Lumpur in 1992. Credit should be given to three heroes, Lee Chong Wei and the combination of Mohd Zakry Abdul Latiff and Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari, who earned two points for the team. Tied at 2-2, Muhammad Hafiz Hashim failed to secure the winning point after bowing out to Chen Jin, 12-21, 16-21. |

Stephen Ward made sure the match was beyond Malaysia's reach when he netted Ireland’s third goal with a header off a pass from William Clarke in the 57th minute. |

Federal police CID chief Datuk Bakri Zinin said each player implicated received such amounts. "However, I don't want to go into details whether it was for a match or paid monthly," he told reporters yesterday. On Wednesday, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Ismail Omar had confirmed that the team was being probed for match-fixing. |
