THE curtains came down on one of Malaysia’s finest mixed doubles players, Goh Liu Ying, as she bid farewell to her adoring fans at the Axiata Arena yesterday.

It was at the 2008 Malaysian Open when Liu Ying announced her arrival on the international stage with Chan Peng Soon and went on to win the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics silver medal to arguably become Malaysia’s best combination in the mixed doubles.
