Led Malaysia to win three men's doubles titles in four months, Indonesian fans are looking forward to Coach Fire Dragon's return to coach the national team

Malaysia's men's doubles team has recently won consecutive victories, not only winning the 2025 Asian Badminton Championships and Thailand Badminton Super 500 tournament, but also winning the championship and runner-up at the home Malaysia Badminton Masters (Super 500) last week, igniting the collective anxiety of Indonesian fans, who called on the Indonesian Badminton Association to bring the meritorious coach "Fire Dragon Coach" Peng Weixin back to the Indonesian national badminton team as soon as possible.

Seeing that Pang Weixin quickly led Malaysia's men's doubles to great results, Indonesian fans are looking forward to Coach Fire Dragon's return to coach the Indonesian national badminton team.

Former world champions of the Malaysian national badminton team, "Xie Su Pair" Xie Ding Feng and Su Wei Yi, won the Asian Championships and Thailand Open Badminton Championships for the first time, and the other Malaysian national badminton men's doubles "Congwen pair" Wan Wei Cong and Zheng Kaiwen also regained their courage and defeated Xie Su in the final of the Malaysia Badminton Masters to win the second Super 500 championship of the year.

Behind the above outstanding results, it is inseparable from the influence and credit of Indonesian coach Pang Weixin as the head coach of the Malaysian national badminton men's doubles since February 1. Indonesian fans are looking forward to repeating Indonesia's men's doubles glory. Instagram account @ahsanhendra.fans recently wrote a long article about Indonesian men's doubles fans eagerly awaiting Peng Weixin's return to the national training center.

The post reads: "The recent series of unsatisfactory results in Indonesian men's doubles has once again made one name "hot": Peng Weixin. The coach, nicknamed 'Fire Dragon', is currently coaching the men's doubles in Malaysia and has been considered by many to be the key to Indonesia's success in the last era. ”

This nostalgia is not unfounded, after all, Peng Weixin created a glorious era of Indonesian men's doubles. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Pang, the Indonesian badminton team has seen Olympic champions Hendra and Marchis, Ahsan and Hendra "Dad", Kevin Sanjaya and Magus "Minions" and "Double A" Faga and Lane win one heavyweight championship after another in various international competitions and major tournaments.

The 62-year-old's experience in coaching, with a proven ability to strategize, decipher opponents and motivate players, is well known as Coach Dragon, who is now building another legend in Malaysia.

He led Malaysia to win 3 men's doubles titles in 4 months. In just four months, Pang has led the Malaysian men's doubles to win consecutive championships at the Asian Championships, Thailand Open and Malaysia Masters, and is regarded as the "key driver of the re-emergence of Malaysian men's doubles".

On the other hand, Indonesia's men's doubles performance in recent tournaments has indeed been inconsistent. The main players often stop in the early rounds, and the transition between the old and the new doesn't feel smooth. The situation has sparked strong calls from Indonesian fans to reconsider "bringing back" Pang to the Indonesian Badminton National Training Center.

Pang has signed a contract with Malaysia until the 2028 Olympic Games. Given Pang's past achievements and the high expectations of Indonesian fans, will the Indonesian Badminton Association try to renew the relationship with Coach Fire Dragon to revive Indonesia's men's doubles glory? Of course, this decision was not an easy one, and the Indonesian BWF needs to evaluate it carefully. At the same time, Pang Weixin has also signed a contract with the Malaysian Badminton Association until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and will definitely not break the contract at will.
