The debate about whether Vijay Singh was lucky he didn't Malaysian PR,
Is a non-starter. For one he had unquenchable desire to succeed so whether he went to Fiji or stayed in Malaysia he would have succeeded. Furthermore you could argue that he would have succeeded earlier had he stayed in Malaysia because how many golf-courses can you fit in Fiji?
But I think deep down every Cabinet minister is kicking themselves because Vijay Singh would have the first world champion since the late 80's and early 90's when the Sidek brothers dominated badminton. Furthermore it can be said that golf as a game is more famous and played by a lot more people than badminton.
