Rudy Hartono
I remember clearly Rudy Hartono , the badminton great from Indonesia who was All England men’s singles champion from 1968 to 1974. Though not much a fan of the game, I remember those days when badminton fans all got glued to the black and white television to catch the man in action. This Indonesian of Chinese descent whose Chinese name is Nio Hap Liang was the runner up in 1975, losing to Svend Pri from Denmark but won again for the eighth time in 1976. Many years after hanging up the racket, I remember reading of him visiting Malaysia as a priest! Then, he was an older and rounder figure. Now, I really wonder what happens to him...
