So far saya pilih dia sebagai idola arena bulu tangkis saya kerana cara permainannya yang tidak diterima akal serta kezamannya yang kuat demi megharumkan nama negaranya hingga ke titisan darah terakhir.

Saya akan cuba sedikit sebanyak untuk mengikut jejak langkahnya untuk mencabar diri saya ke arah lebih baik dan aktif. Saya juga akan try serapkan nilai positif abg Lin dalam diri anak-anak saya supaya suatu hari mereka akan mengahrumkan nama Malaysia serta berbakti kepada dunia sukan.

Sekian dari saya peminat Abg Lin,
