PETALING JAYA: Malaysian mixed doubles ace Chan Peng Soon is up and running again, just a week after a Bell’s Palsy scare.

The 31-year-old quashed any fears that he would be out for the long term due to the facial paralysis when he declared that he is fit to play in the Grand Match at the Arena of Stars in Genting Highlands on Saturday.
