Pang Ron will always have sister Vivian for support in his career

Victorious: Malaysia’s Hoo Pang Ron (back) and Toh Ee Wei beat teammates Chen Tang Jie-Peck Yen Wei in the Japan Open yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: The Hoo siblings may have opted for different paths in achieving their goals but Pang Ron has always received undivided backing from his more established sister Vivian.

While Pang Ron’s career has experienced limited success in the mixed doubles with various partners, Vivian is a two-time Commonwealth Games champion in women’s doubles (with Woon Khe Wei in 2014 and Lee Meng Yean in 2018).
