Thank you… Thank you for the
great journey that makes me the person I am today.
It is hard to say goodbye to competitive squash that has
been part of me for the last 20 years. Squash has also
brought me back to live again after experiencing a bad
accident that almost took my life away.
However,
the wear and tear of the cartilage of my both knees since
few years ago and playing in pain is not fun anymore.
Lately, having the feeling to play squash just for fun, does
not fit in, in the competitive environment in professional
squash. Furthermore, I am ready to retire because I know the
younger players are ready to bring success to Malaysian
squash.
Sports generally and SQUASH specifically have been my life
and it will still be after I retire. I may retire as a
professional squash player, but it is only a start to a new
career. I am excited yet nervous to be out of my comfort
zone. I believe life must go on and with all the good traits
that I have learned from playing squash, I will be
successful in my new career and as a person.
Thank you to my family and friends for their support and for
believing in me. Thank you to all the people around me that
have helped me along the way in this great journey. Thank
you to those who like me. And those who do not like me,
thank you too because you have made me understand and
accept, that is okay and that is life.
Thank you to MSN, ISN, SRAM, MSRA, the media, my sponsors,
coaches, teammates and my fans for making my journey as a
squash player the one to remember forever.
Thank you all and I feel very blessed.
