Post Description

Liem Swie King, born 28 February 1956, was an Indonesian badminton player in the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s. Along with Morten Frost (Denmark), Han Jian and Luan Jin (China), and Prakash Padukone (India), he was one of the world's leading singles players of that era. Even though he was an all-around player, he was best known for the ferocity of his jumping smash.

Liem won the prestigious All-England Men Singles Championships in 1978, 1979 and 1981 during a six-year consecutive run to the finals (1976–1981). Until 1980, All England was the most prestigious world badminton tournament, which can be compared to the tennis Grand Slam, except that there was only one event. He was the runner-up at the then triennial World Championships in both 1980 and 1983. He was a member of the Thomas Cup winning Indonesian teams of 1976, 1979, and 1984, playing both singles and doubles on the latter two occasions. He was the bronze medalist in men's doubles with Hariamanto Kartono at the 1985 IBF World Championships in Calgary. He retired from badminton in 1988, and now owns a health spa in Jakarta.

Liem was inducted into the International Badminton Federation Badminton Hall of Fame in 2002.

His life and achievements inspired this movie made in Indonesia.
