KUALA LUMPUR: Former men’s singles star Ong Ewe Hock is back in action after almost 12 years – but in a different capacity altogether.

Thanks to Ewe Hock’s generosity, his new badminton centre – X-Trm Badminton Academy at Seri Kembangan – is being used as a training ground for the young shuttlers from the Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS).
