Kien Keat-Boon Heong given new ultimatum


Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong must deliver in the Denmark and French Opens later this month or see the end of their partnership.

On Saturday, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) council chaired by Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel Tengku Ariff decided to serve the duo an ultimatum. They have to perform at the back-to-back Denmark and French Opens or else they will be split up.
