Men's doubles coach Paulus Firman briefing (from left) Tan Wee Kiong, Tan Boon Heong and Koo Kien Keat in January this year. Paulus and coach Pang Cheh Chang say it's best to keep Kien Keat-Boon Heong on to help the younger players surpass them.
PETALING JAYA: Men’s doubles coaches Paulus Firman and Pang Cheh Chang have only worked together for the past 10 days, but they both agree that it is already too late to split the partnership of Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong.
Kien Keat-Boon Heong, ranked fifth in the world, have been performing poorly over the past two years and the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have gave them yet another ultimatum – deliver at the back-to-back Denmark and French Opens which are on from Oct 15-20 and Oct 22-27 respectively, or face separation.
