TOKYO: As national men’s doubles pair Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik celebrated their bronze-medal victory at the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday (July 31), one would have to forgive Wooi Yik if his thoughts strayed to one special individual.

That individual, according to Wooi Yik, is none other than former national men’s doubles ace Soo Beng Kiang, who also happens to be his uncle.
