I’m sorry, tweets Chong Wei

 “I'm sorry.”

National badminton player Datuk Lee Chong Wei has apologised to all Malaysians for failing to bring back the gold medal from the London 2012 Olympics.

Lee posted the apology via his Twitter handle @Lee_C_Wei about half-an-hour after the nail-biting battle with China's Lin Dan, which saw him going down in the rubber set.

The tweet has been re-tweeted over 16,000 times at press time.

#ThankYouLeeChongWei was trending at number three globally and hit the top spot locally while #LCW4GOLD ranked number two.
