Better luck: The plates on Datuk Lee Chong Wei’s two cars carry the number 6. – S.S. KANESAN / The Star
Lee Chong Wei Like Lucky Number “6” for His Car Plate Number
The number plates on Datuk Lee Chong Wei two cars are 6. His latest house address is No. 6.
In August, he will be competing in his sixth World Championships in London.
And he is hoping that six will be his lucky charm as he bids to become the country’s first world badminton champion.
“Six has been a lucky number for me. I am going for my sixth world meet and, hopefully, I will be lucky enough to win it this time,” said world No. 1 Chong Wei after a training session at Stadium Juara in Bukit Kiara yesterday.
“In Chinese, the digit six refers to luck also. And I think, I may need some of it this time after falling short in my previous world outings.”
Chong Wei has gone through a roller-coaster ride in his five previous World Championships campaigns.
He enjoyed a splendid World Championships debut in the United States in 2005, performing better than his seniors to reach the semi-finals.
He was a quarter-finalist in 2006 (Madrid), 2009 (Hyderabad) and 2010 (Paris) and he made it to the third round in 2007 (Kuala Lumpur).
Chong Wei said that his obsession with number six began when he won his first international title at the 2004 Malaysia Open.
He was then presented with a car registration plate bearing the number 6 by Ling Hee Leong, the son of former Transport Minister Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik.
“The unique gift meant a lot to me because it was my first international title. Since then, I have been winning titles. So, I decided to stick to number six as my lucky charm. I tend to go after this number whenever I am in a position to choose,” he said.
If Chong Wei wins the Indonesia Open, it will be his sixth title of the year.(From The Star Press)
李宗伟最迷信数字“6” 六度战世锦赛盼破咒登顶
大马羽坛一哥李宗伟可以是羽毛球赛世界排名稳守榜首，甚至是超级积分榜继续独占鳌头，然而赛场下的他却独爱“6”！
3豪车单码6号
从车牌号码为单码6号、手机号码要有6字、李宗伟现在最大的目标就是当8月职业生涯第6次冲击世界羽球锦标赛时，能够“六六大顺”，破咒登顶，夺得个人首个真正意义上的大赛冠军，为世界一哥之名正名！
李宗伟于周五上午结束了日常的训练课后告诉媒体：“'6'算是我的幸运号码，我有3辆车的车牌皆为单码6号，华人也笃信六能够带来好运，我们常说六六大顺，'6'的福建话也音近'luck'。”
李宗伟透露，他是在2004年夺得大马公开赛冠军后，才开始了与“6”这个幸运号码的渊源。
与6的渊源从林熙隆开始
“我还记得2004年，我在关丹夺得大马公开赛冠军，这算是我出道以来首个正式比赛的冠军，敦林良实的儿子(拿督林熙隆)赛后送了我一份很特别的礼物，就是单码为6号的车牌号码，他希望能够借此激励我继续往前冲刺。”
“不得不说的是，从此以后，我的职业生涯开始步入正轨，无论状态与成绩皆展示了上升的良好势头，我觉得'6'为我带来了好运。”
“当然，这些年来，我为自己取得现在的成绩付出了很多，这一点是很肯定的。”李宗伟补充。
第6次征战世羽赛
贵为当今世界羽坛一哥，现年29岁的李宗伟仍欠缺奥运会与世锦赛两大大赛冠军，一哥之名欠说服力，他希望当他8月赴伦敦参加今年的世界锦标赛时，幸运号码“6”能够为他带来好运。
“今年将是我职业生涯第六次出征世羽赛，之前成绩最好的一次是2005年，当年我首次参赛就打进4强，但在半决赛不敌陶菲克，带回铜牌，但之后就未曾再闯进半决赛，今年我希望能够有所突破，甚至成为大马首个登顶世锦赛的球员。”李宗伟此前分别于2005、06、07、09与2010年出征世锦赛。” （据星洲日报报导）
