Chan Peng Soon and Lai Pei Jing went down 10-21, 7-21 to top seeds Joachim Fischer Nielsen-Christinna Pedersen of Denmark in the semi-finals of the Malaysian Open Grand Prix Gold.-ZULAZHAR SHEBLEE/The Star

KUCHING: The search is on for Chan Peng Soon’s partner in the mixed doubles event for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Peng Soon is the country’s expert in this event but the question is who will be his partner? Will it be Lai Pei Jing or his former partner Goh Liu Ying (who is on the mend from an injury)?
