A numbing nightmare for ex-player Boon Heong


PETALING JAYA: A simple dental appointment turned out to be a numbing nightmare for former doubles shuttler Tan Boon Heong (pic) when he found he could not lift his hand. The former All-England champion Boon Heong feared that he would never be able to lift a racquet anymore.

Fearing that his badminton playing days were over, Boon Heong resorted to massages, acupuncture and traditional medicine. Luckily for him, the feeling in his hand came back after about four days. And he is well on the road to full recovery.
