KUALA LUMPUR: Former internationals Tan Chun Seang and Lee Hyun-il are on a roll – just like the good old times.

The 28-year-old Chun Seang, who quit the national team three years ago, showed he has not lost his touch when he stunned former World Championships bronze medallist Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam 5-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-9 to give leaders Muar BC a big boost in the Kopiko Purple League.
