IPOH, Nov 10 Nov (Bernama) - The national hockey team made history when they lifted the

Sultan Azlan Shah Cup for the first time after defeating South Korea 3-2 in a tense final at

the Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Stadium here tonight.

The win enabled the Speedy Tigers to end a 39-year wait for the title, which they missed out

on when they lost 8-3 to Australia in the final of the 2014 edition.

Today's victory for coach A. Arul Selvaraj's men also avenged the 2-1 defeat by South

Korea that wrecked Malaysia's hopes of winning the Asia Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia in May.

In tonight's showdown, Malaysia shot ahead in the 14th minute through a field goal by

Shello Silverius, but their joy was shortlived when South Korea equalised a minute later

through a Jang Jonghyun penalty corner goal.

Undaunted, world number 10 Malaysia continued to push forward and their efforts paid off

when referee Raghu Prasad rewarded the Speedy Tiers with a penalty stroke in the 44th

minute, which Muhammad Razie Abdul Rahim cooly placed past South Korea goalkeeper

Kim Jaehyeon.

Although world number 12 South Korea then went on the offensive in search of an

equaliser, the Malaysian defence, ably led by Muhammad Hafizuddin Othman, managed to

keep them at bay.

With South Korea pushing up, Malaysia managed to breach their defence again in the 47th

minute through a Muhammad Aminuddin Mohd Zain field goal before coach Kim Byung

Hoon's men reduced the deficit in the 57th minute through a Jeon Byungjin penalty corner

goal.

But it proved too little, too late as Malaysia held on for a memorable and historic win.

Malaysia's best achievement previously in the tournament, which began in 1983, was

finishing as runners-up five times in 1985, 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2014.

The Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah presented the Malaysian team with the trophy.

Yesterday, Pakistan finished third after beating Japan 5-3 while in the fifth-sixth placing

match earlier, Egypt scored an upset 2-1 win over South Africa.

Kepentingan pasangan minima dalam sajak

Importance of minimal pairs in poems

It is a great attraction to portray the message of the poem in a creative way. Slightly

different sound for consonant or vowel might actually produce a beautiful rhythm for the

poem.Moreover, it is helpful as well for readers and listeners to distinguish the sounds for

each word and learn to pronounce it correctly.

A Prayer In Spring

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day; (1)

And give us not to think so far away (2)

As the uncertain harvest; keep us here (3)

All simply in the springing of the year. (4)

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white, (5)

Like nothing else by day, like ghost by night; (6)

And make us happy in the happy bees, (7)

The swarm dilating round the perfect trees. (8)

And make us happy in the darting bird, (9)

That suddenly above the bees is heard, (10)

That meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, (11)

And off a blossom in mid air stands still. (12)

For this is love and nothing else is love, (13)

The which it is reserved for god above (14)

To sanctify to what far ends He will, (15)

But which is only needs that we fulfil. (16)
