National Day merriment


OUR national shuttlers did the country proud on our 68th National Day.

At the 2025 World Championships in Paris, mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei beat China’s Jiang Zhen Bang and Wei Ya Xin in straight sets to win the gold medal, while women’s pair of Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan bagged the silver after a tough match against world number one Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning, also from China.
