TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Badminton legend, Lim Swie King, asserting that the lobster smuggler suspect was not him. Three-time All England champion said he was shocked by the news that his name had been arrested by police.
“His name is the same as mine,” he said when contacted Time, Wednesday, July 15, 2020.
Moreover, he said, there were some media that said that the Lim Swie King who was arrested was a badminton legend. He also mentioned that many people would think he was a lobster smuggler.
“There have been a number of media that have revised the term badminton legend and given a note that there was an error in the name,” he said.
The 1978 Asian Games gold medalist claimed he was uncomfortable with his association with a suspected lobster smuggler. “So I clarify that it’s not me. It’s really annoying, but if it’s disturbed, yes,” said Lim Swie King, who also played the film as the main actor in Sakura in a Hug before hanging the racket in 1988.
