WINNING gold in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha was an unforgettable moment for former shuttler Tan Boon Heong.
Boon Heong was only 19 when he combined with then 21-yearold Koo Kien Keat in the men’s doubles to end Malaysia’s 36-year wait for a gold in the Asiad in stunning fashion after beating Indonesians Luluk Hadiyanto-Alvent Yulianto.“We knew our opponents were too strong. We just went in wanting to give our best in every match.“We didn’t really think about ending the 36-year wait. We were so happy after we won,” he added.
“I hope our pairs will boost their confidence level and fighting spirit. Aaron-Wooi Yik and Yew Sin-Ee Yi need to trust and discuss more with each other and overcome the mistakes when on court.’’
