5. Tan Boon Heong is hoping
that his partnership with Koo
Kien Keat will not be broken
up as he believes they still
have much to offer as a pair.
6. Chronological order
Badminton Association
of Malaysia’s (BAM)
target of winning a
medal at the recent
London Olympics.
They lost at semi-final
during the London
Olympics.
BAM president Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd
Salleh has said that the pair have no
future together and would be split up
although a decision will only be made
after a coaching and training committee
meeting.
They hope they can continue their
partnership until the 2014 World
Champion-ships and Asian Games.
7. Predict outcomes
• “Personally, I don’t want to split up with Kien Keat
just yet because we have unfinished business and
it is of no benefit to anyone if we part ways,” said
Boon Heong.
• “I would prefer to continue my partnership with
Kien Keat for at least another two more years –
until the 2014 World Champion-ships and Asian
Games.
• “In fact, it’s a waste for us to go separate ways
considering the years we’ve been together. But I
understand that it’s not our call so we have to let
the coaches decide,” added Boon Heong.
