Jacky grabs early birthday present in Berlin


PETALING JAYA: National boys’ singles shuttler Jacky Kok Jing Hong went to Europe with an aim of winning before his 19th birthday and he did just that at the German Junior Open.

Jacky, who turns 19 on Thursday, was in a class of his own when he took just 25 minutes to dispatch Indonesia’s Alvi Wijaya Chairullah 21-15, 21-15 in Berlin on Sunday to win the boys singles title.
