SUBANG JAYA: FCM finally got the do the long awaited interview with KOO7
champion and Malaysia no.1,
Shaun P'ng, who is not just a top fooser in Malaysia but also an avid car
enthusiast.
Shaun P'ng, also passionately known as Shaun boy to the local foosball
community has got a whole cabinet full of trophies he won over the years. This
is not the first time Shaun boy bagged double champion in the open category,
his last winning spree was during FCM Classics 2005 where he won himself 2
foosball tables.
FCM: So 1st things 1st, when and how did you started playing foosball?
SP: Started with Lowen & switched to Tornado eventually after I play with
it a few times for 1 reason, I can control the ball! Started playing Tornado
when I was 17 and I was not really into it until I join the Penangites for a
trip to the 1998 Nationals which was held in JB. It was the best National ever.
Too bad I'm only 17.
FCM: What was your training regime like?
SP: Perfection.
FCM: Was there anyone that you look up to then or guide you along the way?
SP: Khoo Teng Boon showed me the 1st few steps, the rest are O&A.
FCM: What's your most memorable moment in your foosball career? Why?
SP: The 1st major tournament I join, 1999 Nationals. Which got me Singles
Champion of champions, Open Singles Champion, Open Doubles 1st runner up with
Khoo Teng Boon. Why? My 1st Jacket for rainy days!
FCM: Who do you think had been your toughest opponent all these while? Why?
SP: Miqdad Suwaidi. He's smart, he's fast, and he’s consistent. He got
everything.
 FCM: As we all know you’ve been missing from the foosing scene for a while
before this. And you came back with a bang during FCM Classics and been on
winning form again since then. Tell us what your motivation is and how you feel
about that?
SP: Actually I came back n join FCM classic because Ng Eng Hwai asks me to, so
I gave him my support. Was very LUCKY to win 2 torpedo tables though.
FCM: You’ve been holding on to the no. 1 spot in Malaysia for quite a long time now.
Would you give it one more try at the States?
SP: Yes, I want it badly. But mou $$.
FCM: What do you think about our Malaysian foosball scene?
SP: Sweet if all could unite as 1. =)
FCM: What do you think the future holds for us?
SP: None can tell but dun give up. I’m sure we will get what we deserve 1
day.
FCM: What is the thing that you loved most about foosball?
SP: Everything.
FCM: Give us a word of advice.
SP: To all those out there that’s picking up the sport. You guys are doing great.
Keep it up and we shall share the fun together. Foosball is not bout winning or
losing; enjoying the game is what matters.
FCM: So last question, how is your engine?
SP: Next project. Turbo-charged K20A. =P
