Our singles have fallen behind alarmingly, says Ong


Sole entry: Goh Jin Wei will be the only Malaysian woman shuttler to take part in the Malaysian Masters.

PETALING JAYA: Former great Ong Ewe Hock is pained by the gulf in standard between Malaysia’s singles shuttlers and their opponents of other nations.

No player carried the national flag for the first time in the women’s singles in the Malaysian Open that ended on Sunday while Malaysia’s wait for a men’s singles champion besides 12-time winner Lee Chong Wei continued.
