Take my advice: Soong Joo Ven reminded Chia Jeng Hon (pic, below) and other dropped shuttlers that they were still young and had plenty of opportunities to compete in tournaments.

PETALING JAYA: Independent men’s singles shuttler Soong Joo Ven has urged the players recently dropped from the national team set-up to not give up on the sport.

Chia Jeng Hon and Rex Hooi, who are both 20, were dropped from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) after a performance review.
