PETALING JAYA: The Kampung Pandan training hall was rather quiet except for the sound of shuttlers on wheelchairs moving around with ease trying to get the better of one another under the watchful eyes of coach Woon Sze Mei.

It was a practice session for both singles and doubles players but no one tipped backwards or knocked into each other – that’s how good they were.
