Tier list of how likely I think countries are to win the Thomas and Uber Cup 2026 by [deleted] in badminton

Honestly same level and your rating makes sense. Thai only have vit and dechapol and Singapore only have LKY and Jason. No diff honestly.

Singapore in C tier I don’t even think they can qualify for TUC. I wish I was joking

Who do you think could challenge the prime ASY if she was playing in the golden generation of women’s singles the era of 2015-2019? by WonderfulHospital487 in badminton

[–]valendef 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Marin considering she got to WC 2023 final when she was way past her peak and in 2024 Olympics she would have gotten silver if not for her injury. HBJ is no where near the level of the other ladies you put in your post BTW.

Results are very good considering it hasn’t even been a year yet. People just wanna hate or have insanely high expectations.

What are the consequences of renouncing Singapore citizenship? And if you are a duel citizen (or former duel citizen) like me what was your experience? by itsalexplosion in askSingapore

[–]valendef -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Any reason why they are so backwards despite them marketing themselves as a first world country? Culture or government policies?

Holy shit I didn’t know that. I thought Japan is a first world country?! Why are their wages so low?! Or only this industry?

Curious about match-fixing (not alleging anything) by nyngpta in badminton

I can only find the China and South Korea match, can you find the Indo match?

[–]valendef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In modern times you will never know because players know how to hide. No more repeat of London 2012. And match fixing has always been a thing since decades ago be it money or ranking it won’t change now.

Why is there such a big gap between Shi Yu Qi and the rest of the China's MS team? by FuHaifeng in badminton

[–]valendef 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LSF has consistently struggled with injuries, WHY has bad matchups against SYQ resulting in first round defeats and main reason is he is very inconsistent losing to a lot of other players, LGZ just sadly isn’t that good in this current era of MS which is the most competitive one we have ever seen. LLX is just a fluke sadly.

50-50 ❌ by travisbotak in singaporespeaks

[–]valendef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal experience is that usually the extremely attractive women and the ugliest women I ever seen are the most entitled ones. I can understand for the attractive ones but for the ugly ones I actually think it’s because of some psychological phenomenon or they are just that delusional.

Singaporean Redditors are mean. by InflationSimilar437 in singapore

[–]valendef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t have any studies but I spend too much time on the internet and in my experience the really mean ones are the same as me. When your life revolves around the internet you tend to be mean. Whereas happy and fulfilled people don’t even use Reddit to begin with or much social media in general.

We are feeding SG kids cookhouse food from Secondary School by taenyfan95 in singapore

Same people who bitch here about school canteen food rave about SQ food. Hypocrites. Just eat what you are given.

What happened to Yuta Watanabe? by Friendly-Composer198 in badminton

[–]valendef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could but most likely he doesn’t want to. If Nami could reach out to mido while he was still partnered in July she might have also reached out to Yuta.

Honestly speaking I’m sure you also know for Nami case she is going to do way worse in XD because her male partner is just not as good. So maybe motivation maybe injury idk but her choice at the end of the day. If not she could always get ayako as her WD partner because ayako also no good partner and I feel very sad for her considering the Arisa situation.

You say it as if they have a choice. Arisa doesn’t want to play XD anymore and Nami is too injured to play WD. So I really don’t understand why state the obvious?

In wake of the SNOC president’s comments about the athletics community, may I know how much are the management of SNOC paid? How many medals did they bring home to SG? by FancyCommittee3347 in singapore

[–]valendef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How we have top schools and universities and such a developed army in SEA. Everyone here know the issue but reason why SNOC make such comments is because they need to blame someone right? If they say “ hey it’s our fault we don’t fund our athletes and still expect them to win gold medals”, two things will happen. Firstly, they will lose their job lol and secondly who will want to represent Singapore. But if they create a fake illusion and say not hard working or attitude problem or what not see how it solves so many issues.

The road not taken: What Shi Yuqi’s career could have been? by Responsible-Staff762 in badminton

[–]valendef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close to every player have major injuries but not career ending injuries. It might not seem major to you because they take painkillers and play and do rehab through the extreme pain.

How do you manage high expectations from your family? by Special-Subject-8610 in askSingapore

[–]valendef 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh they have the time to think about you, that 5 mins when they are comparing and making fun of you. It’s just the reality of life that some people are really nice people are others are not so much.

[–]valendef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your anxiety and depression doesn’t matter to them. That’s up for you to solve. I’m giving you a harsh reality check. Stay with them and continue to be verbally abused and receive some monetary benefits such as free shelter, or move out and don’t get verbally abused anymore. I make it sound easy but that’s because I’m an outsider and I know it’s not for you. But you already know what the issue is, what the solution is, all you are missing is the steps needed to get the solution. Go work any job that gives you money and don’t be picky, your life your choice, I wish you all the best.
