PETALING JAYA: Men’s singles shuttler Justin Hoh is heading into Malaysia’s Thomas Cup Finals campaign in Horsens, Denmark, with a burning desire.

It is not just about helping the team chase success, but also about silencing critics after he and his teammates came under scrutiny for their inconsistent performances in recent months.

The Finals starts today but Malaysia will open their Group B campaign against England tomorrow. The others in their group are Japan and Finland.
