PETALING JAYA: It is rare for the world No. 2 men's doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik to give up the chance to represent the country at the SEA Games in Thailand.

But they are prepared to pass the baton to Malaysia's next generation of players, confident in the men's doubles depth to deliver the gold at the biennial Games from Dec 9-20.
