FORMER international Koo Kien Keat believes the Malaysian men’s doubles pairs may have missed a golden opportunity to win an international title on home soil by taking advantage of the fan support.

Kien Keat, who had won the home title three times with two different partners, said the fans were different these days as they have been giving complete support in victory and defeat.
