Switch that turned on the power


Doubling the effort: Soon Kit shares his thoughts with doubles shuttler Goh V Shem in this 2017 file pix.

CHEAH Soon Kit has always been a man who could adapt to any situation. He would never have become a badminton star if not for that ability.

In 1986, when the Badminton Association of Malaysia had the idea for Project 88-90 to bring the Thomas Cup back to Malaysia, there were only several spots available in the singles department and most of them were already occupied by top seniors like Misbun Sidek, Rashid Sidek and Foo Kok Keong.
