CYBERJAYA: A whopping RM2mil. That’s the amount will be backing independent men’s doubles pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong in their quest for a third successive Olympic appearance.

The lucrative deal secured by the pair with property developer Seri Mutiara Development Sdn Bhd on was certainly a jaw-dropping sum and could be the biggest yet for Malaysian professional shuttlers.
