PETALING JAYA: There is nothing flamboyant about Taiwan’s Chou Tien-chen but there is so much to learn from the philosophical shuttler.

Independent player Soong Joo Ven had the chance to train with Tien-chen when he was in Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysian Open and the Malaysian Masters last month. And the world No. 4 singles player is back in Malaysia to train with Joo Ven, Cheam June Wei and several others at Sports Affairs again to prepare for the World Championships in Tokyo (Aug 21-28).
