SEA Games: Malaysia in men's badminton final after gritty fightback

By R. KIRUBASHINI

Unlikely hero: Shaqeem scored the winning point against Singapore.

A COOL and composed Shaqeem Eiman Shahyar turned hero to take Malaysia into the men’s team badminton final.

Malaysia came from behind to level the score at 2-2 with Singapore and the atmosphere was tense when Shaqeem stepped onto the court in the decider but the 21-year-old displayed nerves of steel to beat Joel Koh 21-10, 21-17 to deliver the winning point.
