National shuttler Toh Ee Wei says rising talents are making Malaysia's mixed doubles camp more competitive
KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — Mixed doubles shuttler Toh Ee Wei has admitted that the national mixed doubles camp is becoming more competitive with the emergence of new talents like Loo Bing Kun and Chan Wen Tse. Toh Ee Wei, who won the Korean Open mixed doubles title in 2024 with Chen Tang Jie, said these new talents have been stealing the show during training sessions at Akademi Badminton Malaysia (ABM) in Bukit Kiara by displaying a high level of discipline and commitment. 'They are very disciplined and work very hard. So, I believe that if they can keep this up, they have the potential to be among the world's best combinations. 'As (a senior player) I want to help Bing Kun do well so that more people will know who he is. Hopefully, our brief time as partners will be meaningful for him,' she told reporters at the Axiata Arena here yesterday. Ee Wei partnered Bing Kun to a runner-up finish in the 2025 Taiwan Open but their pair marked the end of their brief partnership with a second-round exit in the ongoing Malaysia Masters after losing 21-19, 20-22, 18-21 to Taiwan's Ye Hong Wei-Nicole Gonzales Chan. Previously, Ee Wei formed the country's top mixed doubles partnership with Tang Jie but they were temporarily split up due to the pair's strained relationship, which is believed to have started at the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, world number five Ee Wei and Tang Jie have agreed to resume their partnership, starting with next week's Singapore Open. — Bernama

Another first round exit for Jun Hao, the 5th this year
Leong Jun Hao has faced several first round exits in the past. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : National men's singles player Leong Jun Hao was eliminated in the first round of the Malaysia Masters today, the fifth time he has failed to advance to the second round in a badminton tournament. The world No 25 won the first game against the unheralded Vietnam-born Nhat Nguyen of Ireland but lost the match 21-10, 18-21, 9-21 in an energy-sapping 75-minute match at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur. He was also a first-round casualty at the Malaysia Open and Indonesia Open in January, the All-England championship in March and the Badminton Asia Championships last month. Two more men's singles players – Ng Tze Yong and Justin Hoh – will be playing their opening matches later today. Meanwhile, newly paired mixed doubles duo Loo Bing Kun and Oh Ee Wei, playing only in their second tournament together, defeated Taiwanese world No 30 pair Lu Ming Che-Hung Eng Tzu 20-22, 21-18, 21-15. They will meet world No 23 pair Ye Hing Wei-Nicholas Gonzales Chan from Taiwan in the last 16. However, Ee Wei's regular partner Chen Tang Jie who was paired with Chan Wen Tse in the last two tournaments, lost in the opening round against China's Cheng Xing-Zhang Chi 20-22, 15-21.
